Jackass 3D's Next Stop: Oscar?
"The question is, indeed, only how soon it will be until a farting butt wins the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and if you've seen the trailer for the new Gus Van Sant movie, Restless, you may think that the answer is conceivably PROBABLY REAL SOON." OK, actually, that's not the really important part of this piece -- headlined "Jackass 3D is the Most Important Documentary of Our Era" -- I want you to read.
That would be this part:
For one rare exciting moment in the history of the Cinema Industrial Complex, the box office and the artistic merit are aligned! Picture it: an important sociological documentary makes tens of millions at the box office. A testament to our time. This is what we were afraid of or afraid of being or afraid of being seen noticing: scorpions and farting and getting old and little people and fat people and being naked and, most of all, taking a tumble and crapping our pants, while everyone laughs at us.
And that's from a guy who walked out. Go read the rest. Just do it. And hurry! You have about three hours before the sequel arrives.

JACKASS 3-D is the move that defines not only the decade, but quite possibly all of humanity.
Take THAT, Peter Travers.
For those who have never seen, let alone heard about, the Jackass franchise, the best way to describe it is to explain what its not. Its not a family orientated form of entertainment, its not for the weak hearted, and most importantly, its not something that disappoints and Jackass 3-D is no exception.Each hilarious stunt looks as if the writers took great pride into thinking them up...which also makes me ponder...what were they thinking? When someone were to tell you that Jackass' methods of merrymaking were crude and unorthodox they would be 100% percent right,However, as the film industry has changed over the years, it seems as if vulgar behavior is what most people desire for good amusement. So, if dropping a duce or getting hit in the groin is what the people want, then let there be Jackass.This film personifies humor, and will leave you in stitches on the way home, I give Jackass 3-D the best possible score it could receive, an 8 out of 10.
