THEY'RE MAKING JACKASS *TWO*??!!?!?!?!?!???!

[ZombieNixon]

What. The. FUCK?! I mean, dear lord in heaven, the first one was bad enough. I'm hardly a movie snob, but I fail to grasp the appeal of watching some depressingly idiotic guy getting his balls imploded by a rampaging bull. I guess I should have expected this: there is absolutely. No. Fucking. Way. That stupidity will ever be cured. Primarily on the part of the moviemakers, but who *buys* this insufferable pablum?! It seems like fucking everyone. Even otherwise reasonable, fairly intelligent people seem to jump at the chance to give these blockheaded imbeciles their money. Here's a hint: DON'T ENCOURAGE THEM!! If you value even the slightest thing about the society we live in...even if its just the fact that the traffic light on the street corner isn't always broken...DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!

Actually, scratch that last thought. By all means, encourage them: the more of these mooncalves get their 'nads mashed, the less of their kind of genes make it into the gene pool. :eyes:

Jeebus!

:rant:

[idgiehkt]

1. wonder if they will

actually **** in this one. That genre is so homoerotic...

[ZombieNixon]

2. Did they in the first one?

I walked out after five minutes.

I wouldn't really take issue with that...more the sheer stupidity of the other stuff. x(

[idgiehkt]

3. nooooooooooo!!!!

that's why they have to do all that other stuff, lol.

[ContraBass Black]

32. You paid money for the first one? Shame on you!

:spank:

[miss_american_pie]

4. "insufferable pablum"

Are you channeling Rabrrrrrr?

:hi:

[ZombieNixon]

7. Perhaps in some small way.

Though I think Rabrrrrrr would throw in a few more adjectives, fewer curse words and just have a lot more style and panache in general.

:hi:

[tjwmason]

5. So you're not going to audition for a part?

Pity. :shrug:

[ZombieNixon]

9. Hell fucking no!!

x(

:hi:

[evirus]

6. oh yah i saw some posters while in new york

it was just black with the jackass logo(skull and cross crutches) and "Number Two" under it

[idgiehkt]

8. wow

sounds like a hidden message.:P

[ZombieNixon]

10. Dear God...

just what is the appeal of this crap?! :wtf:

[Initech]

11. I think I was in the minority when I say I like Jackass

The movie was hilarious. There's nothing more pleasuring to me than watching stupid people hurt themselves.

[ZombieNixon]

12. Hey, to each his own.

I found it painful and thoroughly unappealing, though...:shrug:

[Monk06]

37. I hear ya ZombieNixon. Thirty something skate board slackers tying

fireworks to their dicks. Proving to the world
that the Gen Xers, or whatever generation they
belong to, will never grow up.

Plus kids are copying this crap and seriously
injuring themselves.

[Susang]

13. Not such a bad minority

John Waters said it was one of his favorite movies. :D

P.S. I love Jackass too. ;-)

[idgiehkt]

18. LOL, see post #1

Here's Water's talking about it in an interview. In fact, Waters may be the first person that I heard comment on the homoeroticism of Jackass.

Q;You know, speaking of Johnny Knoxville, I know you are a fan of "Jackass: The Movie," and so am I -- I own the DVD. I don't understand why that movie is not a cult classic with gay men. Do you?

Waters:I love, love "Jackass!" Here's the thing: Cool gay men love it; square gay men hate it.

Q:I don't get that -- how can gay men hate "Jackass?"

Waters: Because they're square! They think it's in bad taste and they don't think it's funny. But I'll tell you what: Johnny gave me "Too Hot for Jackass," which is the stuff they wouldn't let him run on TV, and, whoa -- you oughtta see that!

19. Count Me In Too

I liked the first one and found it very funny but maybe that's because I like John Waters as well. My favorite scene of all was when Steve-O was sitting in a sushi bar and decided to snort some wasabe. Just the look on his face before he vomited was priceless.

Q

[Ariana Celeste]

28. I love Jackass.

I just don't like Bam. He was cool waaay at the beginning before they got huge, but now he's just a fucking punk. :).
I like watching stupid people do stupid things. And some of the stuff they do looks like a lot of fun. Like Party Boy. That shit cracks me up everytime.

[Susang]

33. I love Party Boy!

I have no idea why, but I cannot stop laughing everytime they do that character. :D

[Ariana Celeste]

35. You can tell he loves it.

Chris Pontius is just hilarious. They did a skit on the show where he was being photographed because he wanted to be in Playgirl... and he acted so serious about it...

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

36. It's enough for me just to KNOW that stupid people are getting hurt.

Too bad they can't legally make a Jackass that causes death, and get these barely illiterate blended-margarita-swilling fuckwits out of my culture.

[Wilhelm Klink Reich]

14. Your post made me want to see it that much more

[ZombieNixon]

15. Uhh...why?

:shrug:

[Wilhelm Klink Reich]

16. Why did you see the first one?

Unless you'd never seen or heard of the show before there's NO WAY you could think you'd like it..

[ZombieNixon]

17. That was exactly it.

I had never seen the show. I knew it existed, didn't really know anything about it since I never watched MTV. Went with some friends, went home minutes later.

[Wilhelm Klink Reich]

20. Per above

did you entertain the thought that you might be a square?

[ZombieNixon]

21. Since I'm not gay, how does that apply?

:shrug:

[Wilhelm Klink Reich]

22. I think squareness transcends sexuality

[Susang]

23. You're a hep cat!

But Huey Lewis says "It's Hip to be Square"! And doesn't everyone listen to Huey? :rofl:

[Broken_Hero]

38. Patrick Bateman, is that you?...nt

[ZombieNixon]

24. Well, of course,

but what the above post is saying is that Jackass should be, for some reason, a cult hit with gay men, which John Waters further divides into a dichotomy between "cool" gay men and "square" gay men. The focus of said split is specifically focused on a particular sexual orientation and so can't be said to automatically apply to everyone.

[Susang]

25. Just because John Waters like a movie

Doesn't mean that it's a gay-oriented film. :eyes:

[idgiehkt]

26. uh-oh, this is my fault.

uh-oh.

[ZombieNixon]

27. Of course not.

I never said it did.

I know plenty of straight people who like it, but John Waters was saying that "no, Jackass, isn't a hit with all gay men, just some, because not all of them are *cool* enough to 'get it.'"

Point is, not liking Jackass doesn't make someone "square," regardless of sexuality.

[Susang]

29. Actually

John Waters was saying he liked Jackass because it was shocking, obnoxious and ridiculous.

On the subject of similar sensibilities, Waters says that he was always drawn to Knoxville and that he was indeed a fan of Jackass. "He is an anarchist, a real one. I think the show Jackass was anarchy. The best thing you can ever do is make all kids love you and have their parents hate you, which is really a liberating thing. I remember knowing that he was really going to be a giant star when 60 Minutes, one of them, 20/20, did a big exposé of all the kids that had done the stunts and been hurt. And this kid set himself on fire and he was, like, being interviewed in the bed and they said, 'What would you do today if you could meet Johnny Knoxville, what would you say?' And he said, 'I'd ask for his autograph!' (laughs) Which is so great…"

[idgiehkt]

30. I personally think Waters likes Jackass for the same reason that

Elton John sang with Eminem...which doesn't have anything to do with deep philosophical concepts, lol.

[Susang]

31. I think both of them

Have a sense of humor about themselves and what they do. Something that seems to be sorely lacking these days. ;-)

[idgiehkt]

34. I'm not crazy about Water's comment about the kid that was

burned. I know he's a genius or whatever, but what world is he in. That's not "great"; what planet is he on anyway?

That aside, it's a great interview. I'm glad Selma Blair is doing his film, that is one kooky chic and I'd like to see her in some roles that exploit that. I loved her in cruel intentions.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

45. The Knoxville/Selma Blair film - "A Dirty Shame" is already out on DVD

and bloody funny it is too.

42. not like Jackass does make one a square

It has been proven by science.

[Misunderestimator]

44. It's the farthest from being a gay-oriented film I can imagine actually.

:wtf: That's quite a stretch. A couple of clearly straight guys doing what straight guys do... being jackasses, is what it was. :)

[Misunderestimator]

39. I don't get it. What does your not being gay have to do with being square?

or not being square? :shrug:

For the record... I thought the first one was hilarious. And I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Loved the scene in the golf course with them blowing horns every time someone teed off. Perfect.

[idgiehkt]

40. that was from John Waters.

not Zombie Nixon.

Waters says that square gay men hate jackass, and cool gay men like jackass. I posted the quote, and now it's gotten all twisted. I brought up the gay stuff; Zombie Nixon was just sayin he hated it, and I basically said if they weren't afraid to fuck each other there would be no need for jackass. My bad.

[Misunderestimator]

43. Aww... I guess it would pay to read the whole thread...

but... didn't seem worth it at the time. :)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

41. By all means!

We MUST chlorinate the gene pool. And install a few life guards. :applause:
