jackass: the movie premier

[rookie-critic]

Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: #24: Jackass Forever/Jackass 4.5 (dir. Jeff Tremaine)

I love Jackass. I love everything about Jackass and I always have. It's not just the gross-outs, the nut shots, the insanity of it all, it's the brotherhood. It's been the magic piece of the puzzle from the very, very beginning of Knoxville & Co.'s humble start on MTV, and never has that wondrous camaraderie been more front and center than in Jackass Forever. Don't get me wrong, the stunts are still as bombastic and hilarious as ever, but they could almost do anything at all and I'd be here for it. The reason I keep coming back is that I love these idiots, and now they've added even more new, young idiots to pass the torch to, and this new cast of daredevils fits the bill and are 100% worthy of taking that torch lighting the closest possible thing on fire with it. I am fully aware of how dumb this all is, I am more than cognizant of how baseline the humor of it all is, but that never stopped it from being the most fun experience I had at the movies last year. The theater wasn't packed, but everyone in there knew exactly why we were all there, and it cast an air of brotherhood over the room that was infectious. The first hour of this movie had me laughing so hard that tears were being forcefully ejected from my tear ducts from the pressure being applied to them from my cheek bones, so much so that my face hurt for awhile after the credits rolled. These dudes create beauty from stupidity, and I can't get enough of it. Jackass Forever is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Paramount+, and Jackass 4.5 is currently streaming on Netflix.

some interesting twitter discussion i encountered today, piggybacking off a tiktok screenshot of an either late-teens girl or early 20-something woman saying "i wish i could be friends with boys the way that boys are friends with boys". the guy side of twitter chimes in, basically saying that whenever they had women express this to them, they reacted poorly to stuff that's pretty common in guy group friendships. the woman side of twitter is screenshotting these and saying shit like "ack, for all this talk of male loneliness, isn't it interesting how these guys talk about friendship in a way that's antisocial and boorish!"

it's always really something to see conversations like this happen, because it's a very clear expression of someone not being familiar with the social nuances in a setting they haven't really spent time in. and on top of that, it being so alien to them that they don't even realize they're wearing this lack of experience on their sleeve.

this is hard to put into words and there are probably a few things i'm missing here, but in my experiences of being the only woman in a friend group, Guys Being Dudes social culture involves a lot of giving each other shit, but not in a way that's mean. it's more like a signal that indicates you being a part of the same group. it's not like there aren't any generic insults that fly like "hey, you dipshit", but what's more common are insults that show you're paying attention – "hey, you dipshit that's always tripping over because you don't know how to tie your own shoes." it shows you actually notice what that person is like lol. and that person has the right to come back at you, and it's kind of a give and take. it's a game. there are bad dynamics that can sometimes come out of this, where someone is picking on someone else too much and there are awkward dominance displays going on. but for the most part, it's mostly just clowning around.

and – not always, obviously – this stuff drives a lot of women nuts. and as you get older, you move away from acting like this around people who will be bothered with it, because out of the context of a friend group, it's rude. but "we give each other shit for fun, and that's how we know that we're friends" has a lot of connecting power under the right circumstances.

there's a scene in "jackass: forever" where jason acuna is staked to the ground and a vulture is picking cuts of meat off his body, and the bird pecks him and he starts spasming and kicking (it's been known to happen when you get pecked by a bird with a giant beak). and one of the guys off screen is like, "don't kick the bird, dude" and acuna says, "i'm not kicking the bird!" but he's mad that someone would suggests that he would kick the bird. he understands that the bird is an outsider. the bird isn't in on the joke! nobody wants to be mean to the bird here. it's all about what's happening to acuna. this is obviously a pretty extreme version of the thing i'm talking about but, eh, it works for my purposes.

and it's not like it stays this juvenile forever. you grow up. life happens. but having this foundation in a friend group of 5+ doesn't prevent you from talking about life stuff together. even if this type of camaraderie doesn't make a lot of sense to you on the surface, that doesn't mean it's not tried and true. and, tbh, i get the sense that a lot of the men who struggle with pervasive feelings of loneliness probably *aren't* part of a group dynamic like this.

[i-care-bout-things-too]

Today on posts that haven't aged well: This!

Nightwing 110 released 2 days ago. This is the first time in like over 40 issues (if not more?) Where Damian has had a speaking role where he appeared for more than a single panel (like the Nite-Mite issue where everyone appeared for the "wedding") in a Nightwing comic. Damian was mentioned in a cross-over between Superman: Son of Kal-el where Jon was in NWs comic and Dick was in his, but I'm so disappointed in DC's absolute dismissal of Damian from Dick's life. Like I absolutely loved Silent Knight (this past Christmas' recent 4 issue mini series), but God whoever wrote it had Dick be the actual BIGGEST dick to Damian. Like not a sweet moment between them. And ngl, I LOVED issue 110 of NW, but a part of me absolutely knows this is fanservice and nothing will come of it. I swtg, since before Dick lost his memory, Damian has just been slowly dissapearing from Dick's life and I hate it so much. We barely, if ever, see them in a room together, let alone interacting. There's an offhand mention of a family Christmas in Tim: Drake Robin where we get a small image of Tim, Dick, Damian, Bruce and Kate at a table, but we never actually saw that in a comic or even a short. Dick appears for an early issue (as mentioned) in the Robin (2021) comic, and gives him a belated birthday present, meaning Damian has spent ANOTHER birthday alone and away from his family, and later Dick is part of Batman vs. Robin, Dark Crisis, and the Lazarus Planet events, but I cannot recall a single moment where Dick or Damian actually interact with each other. If any of you remember the Death of the Family event which preceeds Damian's Robin (2021) series, Damian unties Dick while he's still unconscious, but he's gone before Dick can wake up, and we shouldn't even bother with Pennyworth RIP, because Dick was there in body, sure, but mind? Nope. Ric Grayson. When Damian starts crying and runs away, blaming himself for Alfred's death, Dick/Ric does absolutely nothing. (None of the fam does. I hate it so much)

This is all to say, in the last few years, beyond 2021, DC has been doing everything in their power to keep them apart, because honestly what's a batfamily?

And no, don't even get me started on Gotham War. Damian literally physically fought Dick, and then when Batman ABANDONS Damian, who is it that hugs him while he's left in despair, listlessly kneeling on the ground? Tim. Tim fucking Drake. I love Tim&Dami brotherly bonding, absolutely fucking adore it, bought the issue just for the hug if I'm honest.

But Tim hugs Damian. While Dick is RIGHT THERE. And he does nothing.

Not to mention, not to mention, there was this really really cute three part back up story recently in NW illustrated by Serg Acuna, along side Dick, it features Babs, Jason, Steph, Cass, and if I recall correctly, Tim.

Um. Where the fuck is Damian?

And don't say Damian isn't in Gotham. He is now. He has been. Since the end of the Lazarus Tournament, at least. He was in Tim and Connor's DC pride short, set IN Gotham. He's in Gotham for the current run of Batman and Robin. He was in Gotham for the Knight Terrors event. And yet. And yet. This is the first time in years, there has been a Dick and Damian centric comic, when for years, Dick and Damian shared pages upon pages together. I don't know man. Clearly I have a lot of feelings about this, but I'm just sad. DC has done both of them dirty, their relationship exists only in name at this point.

Sorry for ranting but I just had to list all the times we've been failed recently.

So, since you’ve been reading the recent issues of Nightwing recently, has there been any mention of Damian at all, and either way, what are your thoughts on it?

Because let’s be real, Damian is His Kid. The Robin to his Batman. Damian is his baby. And since he’s regained his memories, from what I’ve gathered, there’s been 0 concern shown for Damian from Dick.

So I’m dying to know, has that been addressed at all? Because Dick and Damian and their relationship and dynamic are very much a comfort character for me, and I just have a lot of low level anxiety that Damian and Dicks close bond is going to be one of those things that’s never coming back. That it’ll never be acknowledged again in canon. And someday, the fact they would’ve literally died for and without each other will become a random irrelevant comic fact.

hiya babe!

there has not, as of yet, been any mention of damian. there has been allusions to a “family group chat” (and i didn’t like that scene so i’m not gonna get into it but it’s safe to assume that damian’s on it.) 

but you’re absolutely correct about everything. dick and damian do have a close relationship that straddles the line between fraternal and paternal, and i really expected there to be some mention of him so far. we do know that tim’s going to be in the run, which i am excited about, because dick and tim’s traditionally very loving, affectionate, brotherly relationship has been washed away recently. but nope, no mention of damian so far.

it’s getting on my nerves too. and that’s definitely something i fear as well. dick’s run as batman had issues upon issues, but i did love the way dick and damian’s relationship evolved into something more loving and almost airtight in trust. if it stops being pushed and starts being something comic nerds only reference once in a while, like hey did you know tim doesn’t actually drink coffee? and hey did you know oracle isn’t as powerful and meaningful as an able-bodied superhero?, then i will legitimately have a breakdown. 

dick was, briefly, in damian’s new robin run. i haven’t read that yet, i’ve only seen pictures on tumblr, so i can’t comment on how important his presence was and how much he did, but at least he’s in there.

here’s hoping tom taylor includes damian in his run sometime soon. also the titans, but that’s just me being needy.

Fast X: Cast, Trailer, and Everything We Know - Get Up to Speed on the Latest Fast Movie

Fast X is roaring into theaters on May 19, and there's already been a ton revealed about the beginning of the end of the Fast & Furious franchise.

The tenth installment in the Fast and Furious franchise, Fast X, has arrived, and fans can expect plenty of new and exciting updates. The movie brings back Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family for another wild ride full of thrilling car stunts. With the release of the tenth movie in the Fast saga rapidly approaching, fans of the franchise will be delighted to see the core cast returning, as well as some exciting new additions, including Jason Momoa as the villain. Now is the perfect time to get caught up on the series and be ready for the May 2023 release!

The Fast and Furious franchise has been a box-office success for years, but the production of F9 has been plagued by issues due to the pandemic, leading to an unexpected delay in the release of this long-awaited sequel. Despite the ongoing feud between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, the tumultuous production of the latest installment of the Fast X franchise, and the replacement of director Justin Lin with Louis Leterrier, the movie is still on track and looks to be a return to form.

Fast X: Latest News

Though the plot specifics remain under embargo, critics have shared their reactions to Fast X, and the tweets from those who have seen the movie are overwhelmingly positive in comparison to F9. Praise has been given for the over-the-top action, Louis Leterrier's directing, and most notably, Jason Momoa's portrayal of the new villain, Dante Reyes. Descriptions of his character range from "fierce and flamboyant" to "Fast & Furious' version of The Joker".

Joseph Deckelmeier's comments about the movie some up the general critical consensus, as he called it an "entertaining thrill ride. It’s a visual spectacle with some truly incredible stunts and some wildly outrageous moments you’d expect from the Fast franchise, but what Jason Momoa brings to the film as Dante is magic! His performance oozes charisma." Momoa has become one of the biggest box office draws in recent years and is inarguably the primary reason Aquaman made over $1 billion, and based on the comments about his performance in Fast X, he could do the same for the long-running action franchise.

Unfortunately, there are still some naysayers of those who have seen it, and Germain Lussier even thinks it's the worst of the franchise. The critic noted that Fast X "is the worst Fast yet. Yes, including [insert your least fave here]. The action is fun but it's the 1st film to not up the ante from the last one & the trademark notion of 'Family' is an afterthought. But! Jason Momoa is God-Level in it and worth the price of admission." However, even Lussier, who clearly hated the movie, was still a fan of Momoa's performance, and Dante could be the best villain of the franchise.

Kirsten Acuna represents the critics who sit on the fence about Dominic Torretto's tenth outing, as she tweeted, "Not perfect (end may divide fans), but it’s been growing on me & I can’t wait to see it again. Universal's def trying to make this its Infinity War." It's no secret that Universal took inspiration from the two-part ending to the MCU's Infinity Saga, as Fast X has been heavily promoted as being the first of two movies that promise to be the epic conclusion to the series. However, the director and cast have also been hyping up Fast X's cliffhanger ending, which, according to Acuna, might not be that exciting.

Fast X: Release Date

Fast X will be released in theaters on May 19, 2023. The initial release date was announced as April 2, 2021. However, F9 ended up being delayed considerably due to the COVID-19 pandemic which meant the tenth movie would be pushed back indefinitely. Vin Diesel later announced a possible February 2023 release which was then officially set for the current May 2023 slot.

Confirmation for Fast X began all the way back in 2014 with news that there would be at least three more movies in the franchise following Furious 7. In 2017, producer Neal H. Moritz stated that not only would there be a tenth movie but that it would reserve as the final Fast and Furious movie. However, it was later confirmed that the franchise's end would be split into two parts with the movie following Fast X ending the series.

Fast X: Cast

The main cast of the franchise up to this point will all be returning for Fast X. Along with Vin Diesel (Dom) there will also be Michelle Rodriguez (Letty), Tyrese Gibson (Roman), Chris "Ludacris" Bridges (Tej), Nathalie Emmanuel (Ramsey), and Jordana Brewster (Mia). Also returning to the franchise are John Cena (Jakob), Jason Statham (Deckard Shaw), Sung Kang (Han), Scott Eastwood (Little Nobody), Michael Rooker (Buddy), Cardi B (Leysa), Helen Mirren (Queenie), and Charlize Theron (Cipher).

Jason Momoa will play Dante Reyes, the villain of the sequel, and the son of Fast Five's villainous Hernan Reyes who seeks revenge on Dom and the others for the murder of his father. Brie Larson plays Tess, a new ally to Dom and the daughter of Fast & Furious franchise character Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell). Daniela Melchoir plays a Brazilian street racer who has ties to Dom. Jack Reacher star Alan Ritchson plays a government agent taking over Mr. Nobody's role who doesn't think highly of Dom and his crew. Rita Moreno also joins the franchise as the grandmother of Dom, Mia, and Jakob.

While there was originally no detail on who, there was word that there will be a huge cameo in the Fast X credit scene, which will be a returning character from the series. Now, Diesel revealed at the movie's premiere in Rome that the cameo is none other than Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), which comes after a six-year-long feud between Diesel and Johnson. While Johnson's return to Fast & Furious is great news, it doesn't make much sense why Diesel would spoil the post-credits scene.

Fast X: Trailer

The final trailer for Fast X has been released, and at an atypically-long four-and-a-half minute it revealed a lot about the movie. Following the previous trailers, which mostly showcased Dante's theatricality, the new trailer gives almost every main character their time to shine. Most notably, the final Fast X trailer depicts a more easy-going Jakob, who's playing the cool uncle type when he saves Dom's son from a home invasion, and later on, Jakob high-fives his nephew when blowing up enemies, which is completely different from the Jakob in F9.

Fast X's newest trailer thankfully reveals that, despite the high stakes, Roman and Tej's banter hasn't left. The trailer unveils Tej's remote-controlled miniature vehicle, which even has a Tej bobblehead attached to it, which Roman calls "Tiny Tej". The opening of the Fast X also trailer gives a closer look at Abuela, Dom's grandmother. On top of what hasn't been seen before, the final Fast X trailer gives extended looks at the movie's epic action sequences, such as Letty and Cipher's showdown, Han and Deckard making an unlikely head-butting team, and Dom racing down the side of the dam.
