Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville, Welcome to the Last Prompt!

Jackass is usualy regarded by critics as being the sign of the downfall of society. When a movie like this grosses over $120 Million, one can't help but think that society is headed down the shitter. With movies like The Wrestler, The Reader and all these serious dramas, people need a break once in a while. Who cares if the world wants to watch somebody take a basketball to the nuts? In a world on the brink of war, everyone needs a big laugh. Someone who goes to watch Jackass isn't always a stupid stoner, he/she is just someone who wants to laugh, and laugh loud. A movie like Jackass is a movie that somewhat "sticks it to the man". It shows the world that, yes it is stupid, but it sells. Jackass represents the innocense on this god forsaken hell hole we call Earth.

My Life In a Promptshell

My life so far. Oh my, where do we begin.

kindergarten I was a little shit. I would always be in trouble and my mom was always in the teachers office. I was seperated from my partner in crime, Michael, until we were in grade 9. I hated school. I think it was because I was bored and uninterested.

Once Jr high hit, I thought I was Eminem. I wanted to be a rapper so bad. It was HORRIBLE. I had spiked hair, talked with an accent, had a chain hangin' round mah neck y0! Baggy jeans and a long white T shirt that looked like a skirt completed the package. If I could, I would go back in time and punch my self right in my stupid face.

Enter grade 9: I got a Nintendo Gamecube and my parents got me Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. I played and thought the coolest skater in the game was Bam Margera. His move called "The Jackass", made me laugh...but I didn't know what it meant.

Science class. I overheard someone talking about a show called Jackass. I somewhat put two and two together and found out Bam Margera was a star on the hsow. My gym teacher even told me it was a hilarious show. I thought what the hell. I downloaded a couple of episodes and watched. NEW OUTLOOK ON LIFE ALERT!!!!!!

First thing I did was got rid of all my dreams of becoming a rapper. I changed my entire wardrobe and even took up skateboarding. I didn't talk with an accent anymore and more people started hating me less. That show gave me a huge confidence boost. It tought me to not really care what people think. I love public speaking now and I am not affraid to speak of what ever is on my mind.

I started making Jackass movies with my friends. It perked my curiosity into film and media. I started to want to make movies for a living. I needed to be in this industry because I started to get the feeling I was born to entertain.

As my friends got into drugs and we grew apart, I was looking for a new group of friends. I joined some social networking sites and lets just say, all of my close friends, I met through that website. Especialy one named Steph..who I can now proudly call my girlfriend of 3 and a half years.

Here we are today. I am sitting in my college classroom persueing my dreams of becoming a film maker.

I can't wait to see what the the future holds!

I know it sounds weird, but I think Jackass saved my life.

A Prompt About A Hero

I don't think I have ever had a hero. I have had role models, but I prefer to be my own person I think. I have favourite super heroes *cough*Batman*cough*, but no one I could call an idol. I know most men would say their father, but my father has molded me into my own person. We are somewhat alike, yet different in so many ways.

I have had my clothing styles influenced when I was younger. The person who did this was Bam Margera from Jackass. I loved his clothing style and his "swagger", I guess you could say.

Other then that I have spent many days shaking my head at those who worship someone else. In someone elses eyes I could be a hypocrit, but I don't think I am being one.

But none the less, Batman is awesome. He doesn't even have super powers, yet kicked the shit out of Superman. How did he do that you ask? He used his brain. He outsmarted Big Blue! Batman doesn't need flashy colours or a costume that make people go wow, but instead he uses colours to inflict fear. He uses colours to blend with the shadows. He's so god damn dark and mysterious, it makes me cry tears of gothic blood.


What a badass.

WHAT WERE WE THINKING IS BACK!

That's right.
Many of you have no idea what that is..so uhh..watch this



Ugh, what were we thinking? <---see what I did there?

What a piece of crap. It was rushed as fuck. I'm putting time and effort into this. So is Johnny, because I told him too. We actually have stuff planned. We have equipment and we have balls.

We aren't trying to be like Jackass, we just want to have fun and make people laugh.

Well we got a new cast (MARK!!!) with some old returning favourites(ME!!!!...fuck you Jamie)

Hahaha I love how I'm talking to everyone like they have seen it, let alone liked it. We are going to start filming soon. I'm not going to put a release date on it, because when I do I never get anything finished.

STAY TUNED PEOPLES OF THE WORLD
