Starting December 19 you will be able to download Jackass 2.5 (a quasi sequel to Jackass 2 made up entirely of outtakes) for free at Blockbuster and its new online property Movielink, which will exclusively host the 64-minute film. The offer will last two weeks, where the film will then transfer to pay services like iTunes and DVD. In addition, the movie launch will be a curtain-raiser for JackassWorld.com, which will establish a permanent online home for the franchise beginning Feb. 9.
This is a great and bold idea, skipping all the usual distribution methods. My only problem with it is that watching Jackass is a sort of communal experience and I would much rather be able to show it on my television than have everyone crowd around my laptop. It being free though, I can't really complain.
