Art or insanity? Shia LaBeouf watching all his movies in reverse order in 3-day marathon

If you’ve ever wondered what it must be like for actors to watch themselves in a movie, you can find out by watching Shia LaBeouf do just that. The unconventional actor is holding an event at New York City’s Angelika Film Center in which fans are invited to marathon all of his movies with him over a three-day period — and for free at that. Movies are being shown in reverse chronological order.

LaBeouf is calling the marathon the #AllMyMovies project and even launched a website. Per the announcement, the event began at noon on November 10 and will continue for 24 hours a day until the actor and any visitors have viewed his catalog of films. Those who aren’t able to drop by the theater, which is located at 18 West Houston Street in Manhattan, can also check in via live stream. (Be warned, however, that it doesn’t always work.)

Naturally, the unique event has already inspired a lot of buzz. On Twitter, #AllMyMovies has picked up steam, with people talking about the actor making himself cry and sharing their favorite GIFs from the only hours-old project. Still others are commenting on this form of performance art.

There’s clearly still a lot to be curious about regarding the event. For example, will LaBeouf only screen films that previously had a theatrical release? Early in his career, the actor starred in multiple TV movies, including Disney Channel’s The Even Stevens Movie. It would be entertaining to see the contrast from recent work as a veteran actor to his days as a child star.

Unfortunately, LaBeouf hasn’t been live-tweeting the event, but, of course, other people are. We’ll have to turn to them for answers and updates.

A woman points a gun and stares.

Netflix is one of the most popular streaming services in the world, with nearly 250 million subscribers. And just what do those people tend to watch? In particular, what is the most popular movie on Netflix? Each week, the streaming service releases a list of its 10 most-watched movies over a recent seven-day period to keep subscribers in the loop regarding its most popular titles.

Zack Snyder is back in the top 10 with Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver, the second film in his space opera series. Despite Snyder's popularity, the new Rebel Moon film could not unseat What Jennifer Did, which is the No. 1 movie for the second straight week. New additions to the top 10 include the comedy Knocked Up at No. 8 and the action movie Anna at No. 2. Below, we've listed the top 10 movies in the U.S. from April 15 to April 21, along with general information about each film, such as genre, rating, cast, and synopsis.

Deadpool & Wolverine: Everything we know about the film formerly known as Deadpool 3
Deadpool and Wolverine stand together in Deadpool & Wolverine.

In retrospect, we should have suspected that Deadpool & Wolverine wouldn't keep its most famous co-star out of the title. In 2022, Ryan Reynolds coaxed Hugh Jackman into reprising his role as Wolverine for the first time since 2017's Logan. Once that happened, the name Deadpool 3 didn't fully convey how monumental this film would be.

So Marvel Studios has officially retitled it as Deadpool & Wolverine. Jackman has also humorously rebranded the film as Wolverine & [expletive], which would make this R-rated flick a lot harder to market!

5 years ago, Game of Thrones aired its last great episode. Here’s why it still holds up
Jamie knights Brienne in episode 2 of Game of Thrones season 8.

Many fans would likely agree that Game of Thrones went out not with a bang, but a profound whimper. After dominating pop culture for nearly 10 years, the hit HBO series concluded with a trio of episodes that were universally reviled by both fans and critics alike. The show's lackluster, ham-fisted finale led to its popularity seemingly vanishing into thin air. In the five years since it aired, time hasn't been kind to Game of Thrones season 8.

To this day, many people still discuss the series' final season with a mix of bitterness and disbelief, and those fans won't find any disagreement about the quality of Game of Thrones' last few chapters here. As disappointing as its eighth season remains, though, April 21 marked the five-year anniversary of its noteworthy second episode, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The fan-favorite installment ranks not only as its season's best chapter, but also as the last great episode that Game of Thrones ever produced.
