Last night here in San Francisco, I was able to drink Four Lokos in the park with Brendan from the Frotcast and attend a seven-minute preview of Jackass 3D hosted by Johnny Knoxville and director Jeff Tremaine (you can listen to my interview on the latest Frotcast, which will be up tomorrow morning).  The footage was mainly a longer version of the scene in the trailer where Steve-O gets shot into the sky inside a poo-filled Port-a-Potty, plus some super slo-mo shots of the cast hitting each other with fish.  You either like Jackass stuff or you don’t, and I love it, so I thought it was great.  I’m not sure how much the 3D (which was filmed in 3D, not post converted) actually adds to it, but I’ve seen that stunt with Bam getting hit with the giant hand probably 15 times now, and it still slays me every time.

Meanwhile, at Fantastic Fest in Austin, a now-sober Steve-O introduced the same footage by lighting his hair on fire and telling James Cameron to S his D.  I think Brendan and I got hosed, to tell you the truth.

Jackass is one of those things you either like or you don’t.  I have the brain of a 13 year old, so naturally Jackass 2 was the most fun I’ve had in a theater since I learned that trick with the popcorn container.  Not much is known about the project at this point, but Paramount recently released its list of titles for 2010, and one of them is Jackass 3-D.  A third Jackass wouldn’t be a huge surprise, since the cast has dropped hints about doing more Jackass in various interviews, but… 3-D?  Wouldn’t that require a big, expensive camera rig that’d make a lot of the Jackass stunts impossible?  I guess it depends on the type of stunts.  But until we hear more, I’m just going to assume 3-D isn’t a dimension, but rather the number of D’s you should expect to see.  Then when they release the extended DVD cut, it can be called Jackass 3——D

Then there’ll be Jackass 3====D  ~~~~ (+) (+)   and Jackass 3====D ~~~~ (|) Hey, which one of you fags wants to pull my finger?

Watch clips from Jackass 2.5 

/film has six promo clips from Jackass 2.5, which hits the web tomorrow on iTunes and blockbuster.jackassworld.com.

As expected, the boys do juvenile, gross, and dangerous stunts for our amusement.  They truly are great Americans.  And kids, please, try this at home.  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  And a golf club to the nuts is the sincerest form of entertainment. 

UPDATE: In the meantime, Steve O and Trishelle (NSW) will be "de-wuss-ifying" America on the USA Network (more clips here and after the jump) by doing stuff like teaching guys to direct porn, as in the above clip.  Thanks to Ufford at WithLeather and Michelle from USA

A while back i reported that Jackass 2.5 would be out in time for Christmas.  Calling it Jackass 2.5 sort of implied they were making a Jackass 3, and according to Steve O on Howard Stern, they’ll be filming it in January. 

I only hope that they’ll keep making Jackass movies until someone dies on camera (preferably Preston, what a douche).  It will be their ultimate masterpiece and a mainstream snuff film, unlike those third world snuff films Jerry Bruckheimer masturbates to.   

Though I was happy to hear of Jackass 3, Howard Stern was no doubt upset that Steve O’s latest appearance paled in comparison to his last, in which he described masturbating on Nicole Richie’s butt while she was sleeping.  Hey, if that’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
