“We’re going to take the same 3D technology James Cameron used in AVATAR and stick it up Steve O’s butt. We’re taking stupid to a whole new dimension.” -Johnny Knoxville.

MTV plans on showing the first footage at ComiCon this weekend. At last, after countless goofy kids movies, we’ll get justification for 3D digital cinema.

Unlike previous Jackass movies, this one was shot largely on sets and private properties, so expect less on the street shocks like Night Pandas or Party Boy. Also a departure: no beer. Miller High Life was the proud sponsor of the first film, but as Steve-O hasn’t had a drink in 2 years, the entire cast stayed sober in support. This has strangely resulted in more injuries than on previous movies.

Expect vomit, penises, and Bunny The Lifeguard to pop out of the movie screen on October 15, 2010.

Are remakes bad, or just a natural part of the multimedia lifecycle in the entertainment industry? News on the future of Dollhouse, Optimus Prime, and Jackass, with reviews of Turtles Forever, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Blackest Night.

Microsoft’s online service will celebrate is One-Year anniversary with a massive addition of new media. Starting on November 22, Xbox 360 owners will be able to use Live Marketplace for more than just horse armor or fake money. TV Shows from Adult Swim, MTV, and CBS will be available to purchase and download and new HD movies like Superman Returns, V for Vendetta, and Jackass will be available to rent. This follows a year of very successful offerings for game and movie trailers, as well as original content like exclusive Red vs. Blue clips.

Theres still an awfull lot of people out there with HD TVs with no cable or satellite feed. This fills a content gap for sure. The only worry is the Xbox 360‘s hard drive. 20GB seemed like more than enough when we were talking about game saves, some music, and a few demos. How long until Microsoft unleashes the 100 GB Hard Drive.?

Full details are available on Xbox.com

At last, a sequel.
