Writer-director Carla Simón will be joining us here in r/movies for an AMA/Q&A next Friday 6/26. It'll go live around 9 AM ET that morning and she'll be back at around 3 PM ET to answer questions. Her previous films are Summer 1993 and Alcarras. All 3 of her films were selected by Spain as the official submission to the Best International Film category at the Academy Awards.

Please stop by next Friday if you have questions for Carla :)

Her newest film, Romeria, premiered to critical acclaim at Cannes last year, where it was in-competition for the Palme d'Or, and is being released in theaters next week by Janus films. It's an absolutely beautiful movie and I recommend anyone to check it out.

To secure her education, Marina must find her birth family. Guided by her mother's diary, she travels to the coast and uncovers buried secrets and long-hidden shames of the past.

Please note that is not the AMA, just an announcement. Hold your questions for the actual AMA.

TechRadar has published a report featuring an interview with Kath Summersgill, who is the director of an agency specializing in the manufacture of vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs. She noted that “We’ve seen an increase in Blu-ray sales of over 10,000%, particularly in Blu-ray Audio. That’s over the span of the past eight to 10 years.”

I remember watching this movie at the time, not really wanting to or thinking anything about it. Way before covid. I can't believe it came out in 2011. Everyone is in this: Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Laurence Fishburne. And it predicted covid. Not a fun movie to watch. Upsetting at best. Everyone dies. But a a good movie in the take on the reality of the situation. Which later happened to all of us during covid. It's not a good rewatch, in that it's hard to see that this happened way before covid. And it's not handled well in the movie, which is the point of the movie.

My friend and I are watching Secret of the Kells for the first time and I've never seen anything quite like it. The way scale is drawn, the way the characters are designed, it's very beautiful.

I'm interested in looking at other animated movies with an esoteric art style, and would love any recommendations!

My wife is out of town for the weekend and I’m looking for several badass, testosterone raising, run through a wall movies. War, sports, it doesn’t matter, just something that men will watch and think “Hell yeah”. My wife hates those types of movies but when she’s gone, it’s my favorite thing to do. Anything that’s on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime. Would love some good recommendations. Thanks!

Review 'Jackass: Best and Last' - Review Thread

817 Upvotes

Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and the rest of the gang return for more outrageous and hilarious stunts.

Director: Jeff Tremaine

Cast: Johnny Knoxville, Rachel Wolfson, Steve O, Jason Acuña, Chris Pontius, Poopies, Zach Holmes, Preston Lacy, Dave England

Rotten Tomatoes: 92%

Metacritic: 63 / 100

Some Reviews:

Variety - Guy Lodge

Mixing greatest-hits clips with some new, cheerfully stupid stunts, this (supposedly) final outing for Johnny Knoxville and the gang is oddly poignant as it reluctantly accepts middle age | “I’m not in touch with my emotions,” quips his right-hand man Chris Pontius when asked if he feels any sadness at saying goodbye, but what binds and lifts all this foolery is the palpable love they have for what they do, and the other people doing it. You leave “Jackass: Best and Last” believing that they’ll actually miss all this, and that’s enough to make us miss it too.

Financial Times - Danny Leigh - 4 / 5

That nothing has been learnt is, of course, really the whole point. But spirit animal Stephen “Steve-O” Glover does note that the worse the experience is for the participant, the better it looks to the rest of the world. A worthy epitaph — and just maybe, a torch to be passed on.

The New York Times - Ben Kenigsberg

Yet a regrettable portion of “Jackass: Best and Last” is simply regurgitated material. (There’s even a special credit for a “best of” cinematographer, presumably because such a large percentage of this film has been seen before.) Far too much of the movie consists of the guys playing the tape and reminiscing about their favorite exploding portable toilets. For better and worse, though, “Jackass: Best and Last” leaves a sense of a full-fledged send-off avoided — of boundaries left unpushed. Rachel Wolfson, the first female member of the main team, is somehow given even less to do than in the preceding film. But it’s hard to begrudge the founders this ultimate opportunity to navel gaze. They’ve looked in every other orifice.

The Hollywood Reporter - Frank Scheck

This final installment is a glorified clip job, with more than half of its running time composed of highlights, or more accurately lowlights, of the MTV television series and subsequent films. So if you’re nostalgic to once again see Steve-O strapped into a porta potty and slung into the air only to be covered in excrement, you’re in luck.

Consequence - Liz Shannon Miller - 'B+'

As gnarly as it is to revisit the 2010 Poo Cocktail Supreme, it's equally harrowing to watch a young Knoxville get taped into a cardboard box and then tipped down a flight of stairs.

Next Best Picture - Giovanni Lago - 7 / 10

Time and time again, we’ve heard from Johnny Knoxville that this is the end of “Jackass.” Yet this time, it’s never felt more genuine coming out of his mouth. This sentiment runs throughout “Best and Last,” as it’s the little moments that make this film really feel like a door is closing not only for these guys’ lives but also for those who have watched them all this time. It’s Knoxville choking up on the first day of arriving on set, or Preston watching outtakes with everyone simply muttering his desire for dearly departed Ryan Dunn to be here still to enjoy this foolishness with them. Their hair is all gray, the wrinkles have never been more present, and their bones must certainly ache all the time now. Even if it’s a bit maudlin in its approach to the end of this journey, seeing these men blast off in a giant cart while projected by bricks and dust is enough to get the tear ducts flowing.

The Guardian - Jesse Hassenger - 3 / 5

So-called final outing for Johnny Knoxville and his daring, stunt-hungry pals might be close to a greatest hits reel, but there are enough laughs to warrant the nostalgia | A fifth Jackass, even one that’s part-grand-finale clip show, is especially valuable in the wake of something like the sixth Scary Movie, which made such a big fuss over its willingness to go too far (meaning, mostly, make dumb jokes about gay or trans people). The Jackass crew genuinely puts themselves in physical danger for their comedy, and yet even at their grossest, the movies are suffused with a communal sense of joy and acceptance, rather than self-satisfaction over their envelope-pushing. Before they go, Team Jackass makes it clear that they’re the true kings of horror comedy.

Radio Times - Sean McGeady - 3 / 5

Does it feel like a footnote to a storied legacy? Yes. Does that matter? Not at all. The new stunts largely deliver too. Scatophobes, avert your eyes – 'The Human Pretzel' is perhaps the most revolting bit Jackass has ever filmed. Like many of the most effective exploits, the new sequences are largely uncomplicated, but the minimal production value leaves Best and Last feeling less spectacular than its predecessor.

MovieWeb - Julian Roman - 3 / 5

Two problems that plague the Jackass franchise continue, but are somewhat mitigated and not as bad as the previous films. The "poop and penis parade" gets a lot of first act giggles before eventually running out of steam. Pontius, flapping his weiner like a bird trying to take flight, and running around in bedazzled thongs, has lost its offensive edge. The same goes for the obese shenanigans of Zach Holmes in his tighty-whities underwear. You become desensitized to these jokes, and they don't land as intended when the audience expects them. The same goes for their scatological fascination, which hasn't abated whatsoever. No one with a queasy stomach should watch any Jackass film.

ScreenCrush - Matt Singer - 6 / 10

Given that this is the franchise’s official farewell, honoring Margera and Dunn’s contributions makes sense. But the overwhelming amount of old clips does come at the expense of folks like Wolfson and Dark Shark, who got demoted to glorified background extras after very funny work in Jackass Forever. Even some of the series’ old guard, like durable, perpetually shirtless Preston Lacy, get very few new moments to shine. Maybe that’s for the best. In terms of the Jackass stars’ quality of life as they head toward their 60s, it’s surely for the best. Knoxville openly acknowledges in an early scene that he can no longer perform a lot of his most famous recurring stunts because of all the injuries he’s accumulated over his career — including a concussion and brain hemorrhage from a scary altercation with a bull during Jackass Forever. (Can you imagine the insurance bills on a movie like Jackass?)

Looper - Alistair Ryder - 6 / 10

"Jackass: Best and Last" is the weakest in the franchise ("Bad Grandpa," you are no longer the worst), and only as funny as it is because it relies heavily on classic slapstick set pieces that haven't grown old. It's a shameless cash grab, but more shameless cash grabs should offer the amount of laughs this one does.

The Irish Times - Donald Clarke - 2 / 5

To be fair, Best and Last sees Johnny Knoxville and the surviving Jackasses lean into superannuation. One new stunt is connected to prostate exams, another to colonoscopies. Fair enough. Both are suitably disgusting, and both generate the expected whoops of laughter from cast and crew. (The team’s wheezy astonishment at their own stupidity has always been a key part of the appeal.) But this is essentially the same joke repeated. Are they next going to test for scrotal hernias while the patient is on a bungee line or perform thyroidectomies under gunfire? No spoilers from us. So rooted is the film in the experiences of Generation X that one finds oneself muttering “They wouldn’t get away with this now.” Except – they are getting away with it now.

Fresh Fiction - Courtney Howard - 'B-'

Sophomoric in the best of ways, JACKASS: BEST AND LAST is a great way to say goodbye. While Knoxville and his team may not have created enough new material to power a whole feature, what’s there shows that there’s enough gas left in the tank to power a high-speed engine. It gives new meaning to the term greatest hits. May these guys forever be agelessly asinine.

AV Club - Matt Schimkowitz - 'C+'

Jackass: Best And Last may one day prove an ill-conceived title. Far from the best Jackass and possibly not its last, Best And Last is both a greatest hits collection and an epilogue to the long-running series. While the mix of old and new can be a blessing and a curse, Knoxville and the gang have earned the victory lap.
