Who would have ever thought that Johnny Knoxville and Steve O. would be paving the road to the future? Well, On December 19th, Blockbuster will premiere the first (and did I mention FREE) full-length feature film, Jackass 2.5, directly to online audiences using Microsoft Silverlight. This is one of the largest projects in Blockbuster history and it's all made possible by using the rich media CDN from Limelight Networks and Silverlight. This really shows a shift in how people are choosing to consume their media and it brings a tear of joy to my eye to note that Microsoft is paying attention to that trend.  Check out the flick at www.blockbuster.jackassworld.com starting Dec. 19th.

thats funny.. its like every other link works.. just not the one to the actually 'flick'
The Jackass was already made for the big screen and kudos for Johnny Knoxville and all the casts and staff of the movie. Johnny Knoxville is not only for Jackass dangerous stunts but also e can be a great producer. He produced a film called Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia.  The <a rev="vote for" title="Will ‘The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia’ Be a Big Hit?" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/04/23/the-wild-wonderful-whites-west-virginia-big-hit/">Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia</a> has nothing to do with racism; rather it's a documentary film about a family from West Virginia, that premieres at the Tribeca film festival.  A year in the life of a family that features everything, including drugs, crime, prison, violence, and tap dancing.  The film gets extra publicity, because of the producer, Johnny Knoxville.
