What if our universe is just a projection on a wall being watched by a giant Shia LaBeouf in another universe

On Tuesday, eccentric actor Shia LaBeouf announced that, as "performance art," he would take over a theater at New York City's Angelika Film Center and watch as all 27 movies he's acted in were shown in reverse chronological order. The "art piece" was to be open to the public, free of charge.
LaBeouf wasn't kidding. He camped out in a seat in the theater, which filled up with onlookers curious about this Shia show. The actor's expressions as he took in his films were live streamed as well. Though the movie marathon ended Thursday, the live stream is available on repeat. LaBeouf ignored any attempts to communicate with him during the showing.
One bunch of people who paid close attention to the event was the so-called "Twitterverse." Some examples of their amusing reactions are above and below; see a collection of reaction tweets here. Tweets can be searched under hashtag #allmymovies.
How do you think Shia found a jacket that matched the color of the glow of a movie screen reflected in his eyes so perfectly?

James Franco must be so sad that he's been trying to reach this level of bizarre for years and Shia just owns it effortlessly #allmymovies
