Fangirl Friday: Jackass Movie Franchise

Here it is! The post that I have taken way too long to write. Also, WE COMPLETED DAILY POSTINGS IN NOVEMBER AND I AM SO HAPPY!

I am going to be talking about the Jackass movies today because it is my favorite film franchise of all time.

I have watched Jackass The Movie, Jackass Number Two, Jackass 2.5, Jackass 3D, Jackass 3.5, Bad Grandpa, Bad Grandpa .5 so many times it is probably ridiculous to a normal person, but these movies bring me so much joy.
The Jackass squad is made up of Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee-Man, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Ehren McGhehey. There are a few others who are like the supporting in all of the movies like Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze and some others who for some reason I can't think of.

The movies consist of the cast doing stupid stunts and pranks. The first film opens with the main cast speeding down a road in a giant shopping cart (shown below) and at the end of the road the cart is tripped and they all go flying. But not before you hear Knoxville say "Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville and welcome to Jackass!"
The stunts are all over the board. They rented a car and entered it into a demolition derby, someone shoved a toy car up his butt, they've sledded and sent off rockets in poor April and Phil Margera's home. They do a lot.

I remember when the first movie came out. I was such an uptight goody-two-shoes back then. I thought it was so stupid and dangerous. At first, I had no interest in ever watching these movies.

Then fast forward to 2011ish, when my family got cable for the first time ever and one late night my older brother and I were watching MTV and they were showing Jackass Number Two. We got the last hour of the movie and I had never laughed so hard at any movie.

I've mentioned in the Action Point post that I have always had a huge crush on Johnny Knoxville which started in my childhood. But I also had a huge crush on Bam Margera that stems back to whenever my brothers and I would play Tony Hawk Underground, I'd always play as Bam.

My childhood crushes aside, I really do enjoy the movies in this franchise. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I just have to head on over to Netflix and watch one of them. Fortunately, a few are on Netflix. I need to own them at some point. They never fail to make me feel better.

I know there's a whole group of people who hate the Jackass franchise and can't stand it and I feel so sorry for those people. Sure, they do dumb things, but they're not hurting anyone besides each other. It's not like the pranks on YouTube where people go after innocent bystanders.

I didn't rank any of the Jackasses on My Top 5 Movies post because even though they are my favorite, I wanted to write about them by themselves. I also want to make a post where I rank them. So expect that soon, hopefully, if I can get my life together to write it.

I really was planning on writing more for this post, but my brain is slowly dying. So I will write another post where I rank the Jackass movies and maybe I'll write separate posts about all of the movies.

We got through November. This might by my last post of 2018. I still am not 100% sure if I'll post in December, but I'll be back in January. I'll be on vacation over Christmas and New Years break so I probably will not post my normal Happy New Years post. If I can figure out how to post from vacation I will, but I can't make any promises.

I hope the rest of your year is great. I hope you have a great Christmas and New Years. I am actually going to be really trying next year to post as much as I can.

Thanks for your support th

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
