Exit Through The Gift Shop | A must see movie by renowned graffiti artist: BANSKY

This movie gets FIVE MINDS.

“No matter what you are into, this movie is a must see!”

Mother’s Day 2010 was great. I bought my mom a card, a bouquet of flowers, and a nice broach that she liked. We went to breakfast at The Grove on Fillmore, an independent movie at the Embarcadero Theatre, and bowling in the Presidio. It all made my mom very happy and that is what Mother’s Day is all about. But the real highlight surprise for me was the movie my mom chose to see. It was called “Exit Through The Gift Shop” by world renowned graffiti artist BANSKY. My mom chose a graff movie!? Awesome!! After all those years of her disciplining me for sneaking out of the house in the morning or staying out late from bombing, and now she wants to see a graff movie. Go figure. My mom has really evolved and I love that about her.

In short the movie is about this savant/genius type frenchman by the name of Thierry Guetta who has always been obsessed with filming every moment of his life. He films his family, his friends, his work, everything. One day he travels back to France to visit family and discovers his cousin is a street artist by the name of “Space Invader”. He becomes passionate about filming his cousin doing art and winds up meeting many of the worlds underground street artists like Sheppard Fairey, SWOON, ZEVS, etc. He films them all. He goes on missions with them. He climbs buildings and billboards and even helps them carry their tools and install their art on walls. Basically he becomes the the unofficial filmmaker to the worlds street artists. He may even become one himself.

No matter what you are into, My Mind Spray recommends you watch “Exit Through The Gift Shop”. It’s a must see and we give it FIVE MINDS.

Below is the first five minutes of the movie for your viewing pleasure. If you don’t see this movie in your lifetime, I can’t do nothing else for you.

Quick Post: The KFC double down breakfast sandwich

I just heard that Kentucky Fried Chicken is testing a new breakfast sandwich in select markets. At first glance, the news didn’t sound to noteworthy, but when I read the ingredients of the sandwich, I felt my heart stop for a few seconds and my arteries clog. Replacing the bread bun are two Original Recipe (or Crispy) chicken fillets, slices of bacon, Swiss and pepper jack cheese, and a dowse of Colonel’s sauce. I just can’t believe how ugly this sandwich looks. Everything I have ever been taught and all that I believe is telling me to keep away, yet I’m mysteriously drawn. I have this creepy feeling that once I take a bite of KFC’s new double down breakfast sandwich, it will melt in my mouth just like an M&M. Oh Jesus please help! Keep me far far away from the coming of the sandwich. Luckily its only available in Providence, R.I., and Omaha, Neb. for now. If it’s a hit, prepare yourself for the double down to make an appearance on a KFC menu in your city.

American Masters: Sam Cooke “Crossing Over” | One of My Mind’s favorite singers of all time

Please take an hour of your time to visit the life and times of one of America’s favorite soul singers of all time. This man had everything to do with bringing people together. Sam Cooke was a pioneer in his industry. He was one of the first Gospel singers to crossover to pop, but he did it his way. He influenced the careers of so many people and opened the minds of so many others. Ever since I was a little kid in the 80′s, I’ve been listening to Sam Cooke thanks to my mother and I continue to learn more and more about this great man even today. This Documentary celebrates San Cooke’s life, his accomplishments and his hardships like no other has. I’m so thankful for the  man named Sam Cooke. He has influenced my life profoundly. I hope that he can do the same for yours.
