Jackass: the movie

I can't bloody wait, in fact I've got a mate in Thailand ready to send me a pirate dvd as soon as they hit the stalls in Bangkok.

The trailers look fantastic.

and on that, Bam was damaging himself, yes. But only because he wanted to do the thing so goddamn much.

an infrequently mentioned classic has to be the iceblock sledding, so simple, so much fun!!

not seen cky yet, although when solvent again I will be getting a few.

I did hear about Stevo being arrested for public indecency recently after stapling his scrotum to his thigh in a nightclub.

I've never really seen the TV show (half an ep here and there) or the CKY videos, which should come next?

as my normally stoic roommate said of the movie at the time: "Best $8 i spent all year."

Watched a making of on MTV last night.Much lamentation on how hard it is to pull pranks now b/c of their recognizibility. Also, Bam was made to cry. haw!

Now he reigns alone?

shall you be a bit patronizing to me too Ned?

I wasn't being patronizing! I *love* the fact that those are her two favorite movies to look forward to! :-)

i feel genuinely bad for those who cannot, for whatever reason (childhood bed wetting trauma, republicanism, overly conceptual mindstate), enjoy it.

misfire, chief. nothing agin This Sort Of Thing in general, just execution (also the guys are hard to like).

i've never understood that, either. it must be pretty awful. especially people who watch it, but then look away/cover their face during the painful/gross out bits.
why are you watching it at all!?
i watched that episode where they sit there drinking a gallon of milk because i knew they'd spew it up again, not because i like watching people drink milk.
TEH MIND, IT DOES BOGGLE.

Absolutely dire. I never saw the movie but I used to love "Jackass"!

You know when the Mayor of Morecambe said he wanted his town to be the British Las Vegas?

sorry didn't mean to be mean - it's just that that movie is exuberant joy personified in all its fucked up, brilliant vicissitudes.

*my conjecture

the guys are hard to like

If only I had this problem.

re: Bam tears - he fears teh snakes and was locked in a pen with a King Cobra. Dastardly. Most of the special I watched last night was the guys complaining about how evil and cruel their director(jeff tremaine) is. Apparantly with the fame all they are left with is pain-inducing stunts on each other and dressing up as old folx.

“Jackass Number Two” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Things you can’t even imagine.

Just about the only thing that could make this movie any gayer would be cameos from John Waters and Rip Taylor and a closing Busby Berkley-style musical production number. Oh wait, it's got those too.

When Waters gazes over the American landscape and sees what his revolution in bad taste has wrought—vast armies of suburban teens lining up to see grown men drink horse sperm, do sadistic things with dildos, and vomit profusely—he must feel awfully proud.

Homoeroticism does have a long history in suburban skateboarder culture(where all these guys come from). hell, my best friend from high school would talk about the weird shit at skateboard camp.

we saw the first flick in the theater. As my buddy said, "best eight bucks I spent all year"

John Waters, Johnny Knoxville and "Steve-O" Stephen Glover in Paramount's Jackass: Number Two - 2006

1. Not enough Johnny Knoxville. Bam and Steve-O get more screentime, and the other players get even more than them. I don't mind Steve-O and a couple of the bit-players, but Bam is a bitch for the most part.

2. The Spike Jonze bits suck.

3. Much more mean-spirited and sadistic than the first movie or the TV show. The first one was defensible as physical comedy, pure and simple - I could recommend it to my parents and they loved the movie. This one, not so much, it's got a much harder edge, more gross-outs, and you have to get off (to some degree) on watching people be miserable.

4. Bodily fluids AHOY

and there seemed to be a normal amount of johnny knoxville, unless you are in love with him or something.

and i didn't think it was mean-spirited at all. i mean comparatively.

i think this tops the list of movies i would never want to see while eating...

steve-o gives up the animal stuff

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY_oGot_T4M

best 10-second bit of the first movie

I'd also gladly make Bam my bitch IF I could tape his mouth shut (or otherwise plug it).

seriously? I thought knoxville did way more this time.

two words: TOO SHORT. otherwise, fantastic.

Actually, I'm not sure I really believe this but I kinda do like saying it for the buzzkill.

One key difference between what happens in Jackass and things like cutting is that people who self-mutilate tend to do it in private.

OK, the thing about gay men approving of Jackass is also something of a broad generalization but it's one played out in my small cirlce of friends and...other places.

Dave orders chicken in some deep south restaurant. The man says he knew that's what Dave was going to order. "How did you know that?" Dave asks, surprised. "Because everybody knows black people and chicken go together." Dave says, "I was very upset. I was not ready to hear that. Here I was, thinking I liked chicken because it tasted delicious. Turns out it's because I'm genetically disposed to like chicken. Now I'm afraid to eat it in public. 'Look at him. He sure loves that chicken'"

and well bams uncle?

Just saw this for the first time...at the Museum of Modern Art. (There were old folks who sat through the whole thing, tottered out on their canes.)

I laughed plenty, but it didn't necessarily seem funnier than the MTV eps.

(also flinched most at the paper cuts scene)

Yeah, it was just a good, long episode of the tv show.

why was this at the moma

Jackass 1 = funny prank movie
Jackass 2 = pinnacle of art, Matthew Barney on his best day wishes he could make a movie like this

both jackass 1 & 2 are 5-star classics, maybe the funniest movies of the decades

morbs also otm re paper cut scenes - whenever i re-watch it i never ever watch that scene

MoMA is winding up a Spike Jonze retro, and he coproduced it.

jackass 2 is really amazing

american classics

watch out Avatar!

filming started yesterday...

Oh fuck! I'm ordering my ticket right now.

I don't think I can take horse ejaculate in 3d.

Can you take the Helicockter?

sounds like a weiner

From wiki:

One of the stunts Bam Margera stated he intended to film was entitled "The Worst Wake-up in the World" in which himself and Ryan Dunn would wake up Bam's fellow friend Brandon Novak with "Defibrillator's, then urinate onto his face, throw flour on him to cake the urine, punch him in each eye, and then release six vampire bats into the room, and lock the door".

kinda want to see bam margera on the end of some cruel shit. maybe film him walking in on the rest of them in flagrante with his mother & wife. then he be like....damn

!!!!! SO PUMPED

LMFAO @ the maxell stunt

oh god i can't wait!

yesssssss

I would've watched #2 a lot sooner if I knew how much succulent Bam ass was in it.

Def sicker and meaner than #1, I flinched and cowered more. Partial to "Fart Mask."

oh my god I just remembered how brilliant "Terror Taxi" was. good thing the guy never saw Super Troopers I guess!!

hmmm...a whole movie of Grandpa bits?

Pageant part looks pretty lolzy tho.

Just keep Spike Jonze as the old lady out of it. Please.

omg at pageant bit

feels weird to say this but I trust that Juhnny Knowville will make this funny

And now...

Forever young and still funny in the head. Check out the NEW trailer for #JackassForever and see our big dumb movie in theaters everywhere October 22, 2021. pic.twitter.com/9ymUlODTmP

i mean how could Eric Andre *not* be in this

ah it looks so stupid i cannot wait :D

i watched the shark week thing they did on discovery, it was kinda forced & stupid as hell as expected but i kinda loved it

There was no shark bite follow-up?

they kinda follow up within the episode? he shows back up with his forearm in a kind of soft cast thing and they do a straight forward dive after the bite segment to show that sharks wont bite you if you dont cannonball into their hood

it was basically “all’s well that ends well dont do dumb shit around sharks”

I would so love to watch this with my soon to be 7 year old but realize that would probably make me a terrible parent. But man would it be hilarious.

or the BEST parent…?

no, terrible parent, you’re right lol

The whole series and all the movies should be in the Criterion Collection. In packaging at least as fancy as their Godzilla set.

agreeeeeeeeee

i watched all of these recently and while the fellas are physically running out of gas by 3 it's all still up there with my favorite cinema of all-time

i think it has a lot to do with how much they genuinely like each other & the inherent youthfulness in the stupid joy they give each other & the audience. i think that makes it weirdly eternal

also nut shots

the GQ article/interview recently was amazing

One thing I also love about Jackass is that they nearly always pull pranks on each other rather than random people, and it has a remarkably KIP vibe for what could easily get ugly

I tried to rewatch one of Bam's CKY movies recently and had to turn it off. The vibe is gross, lots of slurs, mean pranks on strangers. Even though it has a bunch of the elements I like about Jackass

100% agree

Oh so golfers aren’t people

Gotta say when the “Corona” riff came in I got a bit misty eyed

golfers aren’t people

It's ok to punch up

But I think I am probably underestimating the number of pranks they pull on strangers. Maybe it's better to say they save their worst stuff for each other

i have bursitis

I've showed my kids a couple of clips here and there and they just don't really get it. I've gotta assume a steady diet of tik tok et al has innured them to some of it's charms. At the same time, there are some Jackass gross eating gags I just don't think I can stomach anymore. Downing freshly expressed horse semen? Eating a vomit omelette? I dunno, man ...

I don't remember if they're from the show or the movies but I can't watch the fishhook or paper cut sketches

yeah the paper cut bit is by far the most upsetting one for me, have never been able to watch it.

thats interesting about your kids josh. never thought of it that way but i guess that raw skate video clip look that felt so fresh and exciting at the time (no host, no sets, not plot, no point) is the dominant format of online video now & must not look special at all to young eyes.

first time I saw the first movie was in high school with like 15 other people, literally no one could watch the papercut scene. its annoying but I guess that's part of their thing, it's not Jackass if they can't freak out the entire audience

Mentioned before, but a hunk of the Jackass crew was maybe two years younger than me at my high school. Lots of the show and movies feature destruction of/at sites in and around my home town. Couple of the jackasses bullied my younger sister so bad (I was gone by then, iirc) she left school early.

first time I saw the first movie was in high school with like 15 other people, literally no one could watch the papercut scene.

Because it's a lot more relatable than some of the other stuff. Croquet ball in the nuts? A rare experience. Savage paper cut from a manila envelope? We've all felt that pain.

i will totally go see this and i apologize for nothing

wow josh i must have missed that whenever you talked about it - does the stuff w/your sister spoil your enjoyment of it at all?

Couple of the jackasses bullied my younger sister so bad (I was gone by then, iirc) she left school early.

I feel like Knoxville and Steve-O are probably good guys. The rest all seem like people you would not want to know IRL

bam obviously has his demons but seems like a totally shithead

definitely watching this in the theatre after ripping a bifter outside

i love that Steve-O was a full-on Deadhead

or idk, “is” still probably

I am so excited for this movie. Hope Wee Man gets a decent amount of screen time. I rewatched two of these recently and honestly I think my favourite scene was him not getting that the chair was electric and that he was convinced they had a secret card throwing machine.

the Looney Tunes fake background painting thing <3

oh god wee man & the card throwing 😂😂😂
fuck that was funny

I can't even remember the last time I was actually "excited" and "anticipating" a piece of media

i rewatched 1 the other day and laughed hardest when rip taylor randomly showed up, i had totally forgotten about that.

i love how knoxville (i assume stuff like that is all knoxville) is so into & amused by old time classic hollywood/showbiz stuff like that

otm

JK is clearly a buster keaton devotee, one of the reasons I love his bits so much is how cinematic his version of jackassian showmanship tends to be

"I was Lon Cheney's lover."

also helps that he’s a diehard Evel Knievel fan too
