What to do on a rainy day? If you're Shia LaBeouf, you head to a movie theater and spend the next 72 hours watching your life pass before your eyes.

It sounds ridiculous (because it is), but that's exactly what the 29-year-old actor is doing right now at the Angelika Film Center.

A Tuesday press release from "art collective LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner" announced that starting at noon on Nov. 10, LaBeouf would be watching "all his movies consecutively in reverse chronological order over the next three days, 24 hours a day," and that the public is invited to join in for free.

The news generated immediate (and strong) responses on social media. If you can't bring yourself to sit through the Transformers saga or the meta-perils of watching LaBeouf watch himself online, these responses are worth your time:

One participant provided us a visual of LaBeouf in action.

Some hope that "Even Stevens" is included in the 72-hour cinefest.

Shia LaBeouf Engages in Ridiculous NYC Publicity Stunt, Twitter Reacts

One participant provided us a visual of LaBeouf in action.

Some hope that "Even Stevens" is included in the 72-hour cinefest.

Others just ask what's on all of our minds.

Or reminded us how polarizing the star can be.

Some ponder the disparate fates of child stars.

Or take the opportunity to diss James Franco, because why not?

And then dig the knife in a little deeper.

Some question LaBeouf's sanity.

...and raise some pretty interesting questions.

And remind us that "Indiana Jones 4" is a thing.

And that this is really about vanity.
