Spoilers abound!
ETA: *cries* I'm trying to do that thing where you white out or black out the really spoilery bits and I am screwing it up! Plz to help me? Thank you, Elizabeth.

Jackass 2 deserves no cut for spoilers. This is one of those movies that made me ashamed of myself because it amused me. Why should I find really stupid people hurting themselves so hilarious? I was sincerely afraid I had become a 13 year old boy at some point. LOL Some of the grosser scenes had me shielding my eyes and the final scene where one of the Jackasses dresses up like a Muslim man made me really really uncomfortable and not in a "holy shit that dude is letting that snake bite his dick" kinda way. I was surprised by how homoerotic the movie is and by how cognizant and celebratory the actors are of that fact. (So where's the fandom for this? Clearly my shame knows no thresholds.) Also, I was struck by how different Johnny Knoxville seems than the other actors. He's not dumb. He's clearly getting off on the pain and the danger. He's crazy in a way I don't think the others are. I mean, the guy seems impervious to pain. *shakes head* I don't know what to make of him. It's almost mesmerizing to watch him (the others not so much). Thoughts?
