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.

seriously? I thought knoxville did way more this time.

two words: TOO SHORT. otherwise, fantastic.

well, they've already made a profit on the flick, since this thing pulled in $28M over the weekend.

I think I might join the chorus of gay gays going "mmmmm...homoerotic!" if I didn't faintly suspect some of Jackass crew weren't the victims of sexual abuse as children.

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

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 24 September 2006 20:18 (seventeen years ago) link

that doesn't make any sense.

Sam: Screwed and Chopped (Molly Jones), Sunday, 24 September 2006 20:21 (seventeen years ago) link

My understanding is that self-injury is one later manifestation of sexual (and other kinds of) abuse; whether it is in fact in a league with things like cutting, bulemia, etc. is something I know nothing about.

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

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 24 September 2006 20:31 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, I would keep your broad generalizations to yourself.

Sam: Screwed and Chopped (Molly Jones), Sunday, 24 September 2006 20:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not sure what broad generalization I've just made other than "people who self-mutilate tend to do it in private," which actually undercuts whatever argument I've made.

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.

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 24 September 2006 20:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Although you admitted that you were trying to be a buzzkill assuming that the jackass guys must have been abused children b/c of what they do now is making some pretty broad assumptions and just a generally sucky thing to say. Is every adolescent who skates handrails an abuse victim? You think you can pick out people with fucked up pasts so easily?

Sam: Screwed and Chopped (Molly Jones), Sunday, 24 September 2006 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, I kinda do think that violence directed towards the self really does strongly suggest past trauma, even if it's not a universal or a given (nb: I said "faintly suspect" earlier).

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 24 September 2006 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, I think I'm gonna drop the subject because I fear this all could get rather heavy in the wrong way rather fast.

To summarize my feelings I shall very poorly paraprahse a Dave Chappelle stand-up bit:

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'"

I've already asked to have my posts deleted from this thread, thanks.

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 24 September 2006 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I was trying to be more light-hearted. :(

Sam: Screwed and Chopped (Molly Jones), Sunday, 24 September 2006 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Steve-O is pretty self-destructive in real life, it seems, what with his heavy substance abuse. I predict he'll pull a Chris Farley any day now. It's a wonder he hasn't already.

I got confused, I killed a horse (unclejessjess), Sunday, 24 September 2006 22:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I have paid money to see Stevo do this shit in person. And I enjoyed it!

how much, latebloomer? (latebloomer), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 10:15 (seventeen years ago) link

there is a fair amount of evidence to back mike up about sexual acting out, violence to self, etc when it cmoes to sexual abuse suffers, its not outside the realm

and well bams uncle?

two weeks pass...
Here's my comment: Bam does the least stupid things in that movie...and well, i find some of the stunts way too far-fetched...However i totally adore Steve O,Ryan Dunn and Johnny Knoxville of course....But Bam...boy, he's something else...

three years pass...

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.

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

I DIED, Saturday, 17 October 2009 21:17 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Your Favorite Saturday Night Thing (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 17 October 2009 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link

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".

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 09:27 (fourteen years ago) link

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."
