    just watched this, i think all of this is big spin, these guys are genius marketing graf writers.
    they created / inflated and dominate art/street art.
    wp bravo.

    Was pretty clear that the film is biased towards Robbo, but I couldn't believe how much of Banksy's shit is a straight rip off. Most people would say that his style is original, but it's not. And ya, that ending was a shocker. Hope he gets better because he's also a great artist.

    Cool film, but yes, def biased towards Robbo. Spoiler: Whats the real story why he is in a coma? It never said exactly.

    A Wiki article said it was an accidental fall. Who really knows what that means. Can't find anything else about it really except that as of Sept 2011 he is still in an induced coma.

    If thats true then its bs that the end of the film made it seem like Bansky has something to do with it.

    To me it feels as if Robbo made up a story about slapping some guy in the face to gain publicity so he could be known and sell art.

    If some guy told some BS story about me 10 years later to a major publication, I would be beyond pissed. I would paint over his crap that was already painted over several times.

    "street art" - safe for consumption by Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte while they wait on line at Magnolia for an artisinal cupcake. The gritty urban experience made blog friendly

    Banksy is a joke

    either way that robbo guy comes off as a douchy guy, like whining about banksy not knowing who HE was?! blasphemy! lol get real. And then he just acted like a jealous little baby that banksy was getting recognized for unoriginal stuff and wanted to get his own gallery and everything, idk he just came off as a slight douche to me
