gorilla flicks

another jackass night at the improv!

They did it once and now they're doing it again. And possibly more, but let's just take things one day at a time for now. Who, what, when, where, and how? Here's the tried-and-true scoop:

Who: Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Danger Ehren.

What: A night of onstage improv, where these many splendored stars spin yarns and tell stories from their ridiculous life and times on jackass.

When/Where: On a Tuesday! Like tomorrow Tuesday, May 12, at The Improv in Brea, CA.

How: One at a time each of the guys will get up onstage to regale the crowd with a selection of on-camera and camera-off moments while filming the jackass features (who knows, maybe Wildboyz, too, because Chris and Steve-O probably got into more exotic shenanigans in three years than most mortals do in a lifetime).

a gorilla flicks holiday gift giving guide

Every year, well, not every year but almost every year, we like to recommend a few items for your holiday gift giving needs and/or desires. This year is no different and for all I know it will feature a lot of what was recommended in years of holiday past with but a few new shits on the block. Regardless, similar to diamonds, jackass is forever with Wildboyz being the ultimate rush, the ultimate high! And with every emerging country in this world there is a whole new market to be tapped like a keg and drained of all monetary sense, because, after all, that is what the holidays are for: yule logs to keep the economic fires burning hard—so hard.

Her

He may not have gold teeth, but he did win a golden award—an Academy Award, to be precise, so you know he's hardcore. He being Spike Jonze. Her being the movie he wrote and directed. Her will make you laugh at times, cry at others, but simultaneously make you ponder the fate of humanity as it dives down a technological rabbit hole of social self-absorption. It will also drop your jaw at the nifty job of Production Design through the creative eyes of K.K. Barrett. For classic Jonze kicks, though, you can always pick up his Director's Series collection of music videos and short flicks.

 

Wildboyz

For all of us that worked and traveled on Wildboyz it remains to be our crown jewel. I believe Wildboyz may also be the standard by which all other shows on Animal Planet and Discovery measure themselves, but that may also just be me writing shit out of my ass. Whatever the case, Wildboyz was that next great evolutionary leap in nature programming, the likes of which transcended the classroom and graduated to theme nights at a prominent gay club in West Hollywood. Chris Pontius and Steve-O commandeered four seasons of Wildboyz in all, covering most all regions on the globe in a generally uncovered fashion, with a bevy of guest-stars including Wee Man, Johnny Knoxville, Mat Hoffman, Manny Puig, David Hasselhoff, and more!

happy birthday to steve-o!

Last night, a nice, tight, and hard—so hard—crew joined Steve-O at The Ice House comedy club in Pasadena, California, to say goodbye to his thirties and hello to the big four-o at the turn of midnight. Here's a cold cut sampling of those family faces that attended, minus one Preston Lacy, who, allegedly, cut and ran a bit earlier than when this shot was shooted. Happy Birthday, Steve-O (and thanks for sharing the photo Shawna)!
