i don't get it - i don't know the story - why are people doing such stupid things like throwing eggs on David Blaine's house ? if he wants to fast, that's his choice. Why are they pissing him off ? Is it some political or religious decision ?

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-09-09 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
it's not his house. He has suspended himself by the Tower Bridge, in a glass case, and he is going to spend 40 days in it without any food (and a few diapers.)

I think it's disgusting... is he going to give the money he makes to people who are actually starving in this world? I don't mean to sound so moralistic, but I don't see the magic in this act... I thought he was a magician, someone who was going to entertain people... now he's become this weird media hungry person...

The English don't buy into it and they are giving him a rough time.

what money is he making ? do people pay him for this ? and what's the point ? after 40 days, what will he do ?

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-09-10 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
exactly! i can't see the point aswell... people go there and he's lying in the box, covered by his duvet, looking bored. It doesn't even work as a piece of art.

why are you so angry with him???

[identity profile] dilvalicious.livejournal.com 2003-09-09 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hell, so is David Copperfield...but Blaine is far less annoying!!!

He is such an amazing illusionist, he deserves to be stuck up!!!

(although in his specials I have seen, I have never really considered him to be stuck up)

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-09-09 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
he didn't go down well here in England... i guess I posted this because I don't see what's so "magic" about this, what's so "spetacular" or where the great "illusion" is...

it seems like a big waste of time for everyone involved.

(David Copperfield is a wanker, for sure!)

[identity profile] dilvalicious.livejournal.com 2003-09-09 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
well, yeah...him in a box isn't really an illusion or anything, but hell, if he wants to do something like that, then go for it!

(I was just defending his talent...not the whole starvation thing)

it reminds me of that Kafka short-story, "The Hunger Artist". When I read that story, I had nightmares afterwards... maybe this stunt is disturbing to me because it touches somewhere down there in my psyche.

[identity profile] dilvalicious.livejournal.com 2003-09-09 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
maybe...i get the feeling that he won't last...they will probably have to get him out of there at some point, cause he is probably gonna go crazy!!!

Mike told me that to occupy his mind, he is going to mentally build a house piece by piece

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-09-09 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
i'm sure he will last... there's some gimmick which we are not aware of, some trick with mirrors, that allows him to get food in there... he is an illusionist, after all.

i've heard he's got Mars bars hidden in his duvet.

[identity profile] dilvalicious.livejournal.com 2003-09-10 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
mmmmmmm

he can eat the egg people keep throwing at him

the glass is impenetrable...

[identity profile] dilvalicious.livejournal.com 2003-09-10 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
you hate him so much, you should go disturb him as well!

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-09-10 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
i thin k I will! take my pic under his box!

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-09-10 09:01 am (UTC)(link)

no... we don't need some yankee shitting in diapers for all to see, beside our beloved Tower Bridge.

LOL!!!! LOL!!!! They would probably be shot at there. Either by the secret service OR random D.C. crack heads. LOL!

nice icon! is that from a fairy tale?

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-09-10 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
That's why he came here, to do it in front of the queen. You Americans would never let him get away with that in front of the white house.

Miaow!

I think I'll pop down in couple of weeks and have a gawp though...

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-09-11 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
i'm going too... wanna take a picture of my middle finger raised up to him.

[identity profile] dawnage.livejournal.com 2003-09-11 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh leave him - I think he's quite cute!

One of my Year 8 boys was telling me today that he's going down there this weekend to skateboard and chuck eggs at him!

that's why I love Londoners... they don't fall for the nobody's who want to make a spectacle of themselves (unless they are called Jade)
