goretexis art a scam?
“Luxury” art?
Jan 7goretexif you have they money to purchase homer and you dont know this is enamel based jewelry with lab created diamonds, you are a f***ing idiot and are scamming urself
u are paying for design aesthtic and the name, literally any luxury jewelery thing is a scam everyone knows they're paying for the name not the quality
what im saying is a lot of yalls discussion is stupid as f*** and any of the "scamming" yall claim hes doing is self inflicted
imagine getting mad frank took months to ship ur vinyl after u bought a vinyl after watching everything else he make take forever to ship like cmon bra
Anyone complaining about lab diamonds being a scam is a slavery supporter
PS for any future mad replies my rant when Homer launched was about how he blindsided customers then used their money to move into an inaccessible medium for most of them

Yes I’m aware every product is sold at a profit, I’m referring to the margins genius

Yes
There is no scam to pricing your work at a price and someone buying it, value is subjective!

RCLampJust because the jewelry isn’t in your tax bracket doesn’t mean it’s a scam.
And Frank has probably given away more free merch than all of his contemporaries. From the luxury coffee table book (which is own fans marked up on eBay to thousands) to 100% off Black Friday hoodies, the 42% off voting stickers and long sleeve.
For all the mess about shipping (which was an industry standard by third party companies around that time - Jai Paul, Jean Dawson’s both two years for vinyl to arrive) he even came back and said all the shipping would be free because he “fucked up on that”.
Homer itself being a “scam” is just more of an emotional reaction than a legal issue. The same people who point fingers and say “how could you be so insensitive and ask about music, his brother just died!” but mock Homer should know it was that project that kept him sane following Ryan’s death and the last thing he could share with Virgil and Ryan (who wanted to go into fashion and arts).
No one says “damn, I love Roger Federer but he’s a scammer for promoting Rolex watches” or any A-List celebrity or athlete promoting anything luxury. The Homer conversation is simply a product of frustration.

You laid it out perfectly
Jan 7There are understandable criticisms of Homer, but it does sort of feel like a dog pile. I think it looks cool and is a fun vibe. If he’d released some music along with it a few years ago there prob wouldn’t have been such knee jerk hatred.

Well said. Especially the comment about the shipping, never understood why people were on his head for that

Kinda off topic but longest time a vinyl ever took to ship for me was Isaiah Rashad - House is Burning, took over 2 years if I remember correctly lmao. He signed it to make up for the time though

there was a big casting for this a year or two ago, im positive its a legit project that is in the middle of production. not sure if its still being filmed, may be towards the end of filming / beginning of post production

People don't understand how difficult it is to make a movie, let alone one that isn't terrible. It'll be a miracle if this film ever sees the light of day and isn't god awful.

charli movie apparently good. i don’t think it’s impossible for musicians to become actors tom waits proved it. even bowie in twin peaks fire walk with me was great. issue is if they’re not 200% committed: like kanye with adidas commitment

Oh fs real. Plenty of proof in this thread. More meant to ask if the people who see the casting stuff have seen anything recently to indicate progress.

my cousin plays a barista in this, he said frank is a pain in the ass but he’s seriously committed. he said it was very moody something like the secret history. they finished reshoots in fall.
