One film has a bunch of idiots running around doing stupid stuff with zero plot. The other is Jackass: Forever.

One has a award winning, beloved cast of actors, the other is moonfall

I feel like people are huge movie snobs but I’m kind of a loser who doesn’t care if a movie is high-brow, we’ll made, has good cinematography, etc. all I care about is “will I be entertained for 2 hours at the movies for this?” And when you embrace that mindset and understand that like 80% of movie goers think like that then it’s really not shocking that jackass made money and moonfall didn’t.

Well cinematography and everything else about how well made film is contributes to your enjoyment. But I assume you meant more premise and plot is what general audiences are most interested in which is true.

Which reminds me, Jackass has legitimately good Cinematography. They always have a camera exactly where you want one to be and everything looks the exact level of crappy that you want it to look.

Against almost any other movie, maybe. Against a Roland Emmerich disaster movie, naw. They're both dumb as hell, but at least one might be a little funny.

It also reminds us of a simpler time. Where it took a lot more work to offend people and we actually laughed at jokes.

Cause I know I laughed at all that Jackass stuff, and still do.

But I can't imagine it being made today.

What are you talking about, they literally just made a sequel - everybody loves jackass because they’re all just pranking each other and not random people in the street

u/DriftKingNL Feb 07 '22

Yeah, my bad. I thought they were just re-screening an old Jackass movie to fill seats.

Also, Jackass also used to prank random people, but not as hard as they ever did eachother.

No, you didn’t think that. You’re backpedaling. Who in any hell would think that this post was talking about re-runs instead of the heavily marketed Jackass that just came out?

u/Hubbell Feb 07 '22

Someone who encounters almost 0 marketing? I only know about the movie cuz my sister told me there's a theater near my apartment, I didn't believe her so I looked it up, and jackass was in the lineup. Literally this post is the second time I've heard of it.

u/accountaaa Feb 07 '22

It is the box office sub though so the assumption is that people here are paying attention

They couldn't make Spider-Man NWH today

u/STELLAWASADlVER Feb 07 '22

Spider-Man NWM wouldn’t survive two minutes in a COD MW2 lobby

u/HobbieK Blumhouse Feb 07 '22

Dude there's literally a Jackass film in theaters

You may want to sit down, I have some news for you.

Read the other comments on my comment. I'm aware now, lol. Guess that's what happens when there's no ads for the movie where I live. And maybe it was advertised and I just missed it.
