Last night’s “couch gag”  was directed and storyboarded by none other than the notoriously elusive British street artist Banksy. While Fox had initially let it run last night, they have since removed it from YouTube. Watch the intro via Hulu, above.

I’m quite excited to see the film Banksy’s Coming For Dinner from Director Ivan Massow. It stars Joan Collins, her husband Percy and various other guests as they gather for a dinner with the infamous street artist. Banksy is known for his anonymity, prefering to keep his true identity under wraps. Based on his artwork I wonder just how much of it will be real.  And I also wonder what he’ll bring to dinner.  A casserole, perhaps?

*Bonus: music for the film is arranged by Mr. Scruff

Originating from France and now nearly 500 strong globally, the subversive art group likens real world advertising to internet pop-up ads. Their trademark, a large “X” affixed to the upper right hand corner – similar to what you’d find on a pop-up ad online – is downloadable from their site in template form.
