Jackass: The Movie Screened in Calgary [dramatic pause] Alberta, Canada on Wednesday, October 9th
Beware, SPOILERS BE HERE!
So, I went to work on Wednesday night to find, lo and behold, that we were gonna have a paid preview screening for Jackass: The Movie. "Oh" I thought, "It's that MTV show in movie form...but what, pray tell, are they going to do for a story?"
They didn't.
It's an hour and change, and it's ALL STUNTS. MTV gave Johnny Knoxville & Co. a shitload of money and they went all-out on stunts. We get TONS. Even worse stunts than on TV. Fireworks launched from a guy's ass. Off-road tattoo. A crocodile in somebody's bedroom. A toy car shoved up somebody's ass. Johnny & some guy with a gong running around Tokyo freaking people out by hitting it near them. A couple guys feeding whale sharks shrimp from their crotches. And the usual barrage of crazy crap that makes Jackass painfully fun to watch.
So, if you like Jackass and feel like laughing yourself silly...go see Jackass: The Movie. But beware, and ensure that you have a hearty stomach, because the wasabi snooters was just plain painful to watch.
THUMBS UP.

It truly scares, saddens and probably cheapens me that when this hits the theaters here in Philadelphia, I AM SO THERE.
There. I said it.

IIRC, Steve-O is probably the one that shot the bottle rocket out of his ass *and* did the wasabi snooters, right?
He's already done it on video tape. But I'm glad you got to see it in widescreen. =)
"People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you."— George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 19, 2002
I noticed a couple people mentioned Due South. It's one of my favorite shows as well, and for people who might be interested, the first season is available on DVD. Try looking on Ebay or Amazon Canada to find it.
