the jackassworld summer blockbuster event – wolferine
So if you’ve noticed a momentary lull in the wheels of production here at jackassworld the past few days it’s because we, like every other major entertainment studio in Hollywood, have been gearing up for the release of our surefire summer blockbuster hit bonanza: Wolferine. Unfortunately, it would appear another major entertainment studio has already beaten us to the superheroic punch on this one (see below), but so it goes in this cutthroat industry. Sneaky underhanded shit like this goes on all the time, like in 1998 when Dreamworks foolishly released the subpar Antz in competition with the vastly superior A Bug’s Life by Pixar—talk about computerized egg on the face. Fortunately, we still believe wholeheartedly in our project and probably would’ve been first out of the gate had not a lot of things needed to be “fixed in post”—but more on this tomorrow when we release the exclusive, unexpurgated, behind-the-scenes look at the tireless production of the Wolferine trailer. Awoooo! (more…)
more random shit
This isn't exactly what you would call the timeliest of reviews. In fact, I think Derek requested that I do this over a year ago now, when the Vice-produced documentary Heavy Metal in Baghdad was just about to hit theaters and pre-orders were being taken for the DVD

I\'d never had the opportunity to spend any time in the south until a recent trip I took with a bunch of friends to the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas. We drove an RV from LA to Austin and parked it downtown just blocks away from the madness of the festival. It was off the hook.

Good news! Your Good Friday just got better. So stop your weepin' and a wailing' and come down off Golgotha for a bit to giggle and revel in all things Easter-ish (emphasis on the -ish) in our archive.

So my mom got April Fool's off to an early start yesterday when she called and left me this heartbreakingly misleading voicemail about Steve-O's dancing demise on my answering machine.

danger ehren on the red carpet at the lucky cucumber premiere
Yes, it’s true Virginia, they really do hold premieres for movies that go straight to DVD. I mean, seriously, I didn’t think this kind of thing happened, but lo and behold here’s Danger Ehren running the red carpet action for the premiere of Preston Lacy’s The Life of Lucky Cucumber at an honest to god theatrical complex in Hollywood, CA. And not just any complex, mind you, but the one and only Mann’s multiplex that is connected by a corporate umbilical cord to the world famous Grauman’s Chinese Theater, where the premiere of jackass number two took place in September 2006.

Last Monday, March 9th, I received an email from jackassworld telling me that I was a “lucky” winner of the "Preston Lacy Cucumber Contest."

For years now Steve-O has called me "the Captain" and is complimentary about the lengths I have gone to to do whatever it is we do in our films.

That's right, ya wee little bastards, Happy St. Paddy's Day, be ya Irish by blood or merely by blood alcohol percentage level.

Yesterday was a sad day indeed. Famed moonshiner Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton died at the age of 61 (some say 62) at the Parrotsville, Tennessee, home that I'd interviewed him in back in the fall of 2008.
