This is without a doubt the single stupidest news I’ve heard this week (and I hear a LOT of news). Looks like drinking horse sperm and gluing other peoples shaved pubic hair to your face is all you need to get an actual lead role in a real movie these days. 4 members of Jackass (Chris Pontius, Steve “Steve-O” Glover, Preston Lacy and Jason “Wee Man” Acuna) have been handed actual acting jobs. Bloody retarded.
Yahoo news gives us this:
Four members of the “Jackass” gang will star as misfit firefighters in a comedy feature called “Hosed.” The film, now in development, follows an uncoordinated, over-enthusiastic volunteer firefighter who is finally assigned to a firehouse where he has to deal with a band of firefighters from the wrong side of the tracks.
Look, I’m not saying Jackass wasn’t funny, or that these guys don’t look like they’d be hilarious fun at a party. But to give them actual acting jobs as leads in a movie? Stupid. Yet another example of Hollywood laughing at us all saying “WHy not? You stupid unwashed masses don’t know any better!” The saddest part is that they’re often right, and there are some people who are actually going to drop down money to go watch this “thing” (I’m not going to call it a movie). These will probably be the same people who go home after the “thing” and beat their girlfriends. Oh well… to the studios their money is just as green I guess.
