Epic Fail: The Movie Coming Summer 2012

Posted by Rodneyon 23. 10. 2010in News Chat

With Jackass already enjoying its third round of success and no sign of them slowing down, is it any surprise that a copycat franchise is in the works?

Epic Fail The Movie promises to deliver a new film to theaters that will have 3 hours of embarassing and shocking video clips that have become known as “epic fails” online.

BuzzFeed offers:

Epic FAIL The Movie is coming to theatres in summer, 2012 with 100% original, unpublished FAILS… and it’ll be 3 Hours long.

Three hours of video “fail” content that hasn’t already circulated the YouTube/Failblog circuit? To test your endurance, they have compiled a three hour video called the 3 Hour Fail with many clips you have already seen online. The trailer for the 3 Hour Fail is here:

It is funny that I referred to the Jackass franchise as nothing more than elaborate youtube videos of people getting punched in the crotch, and thanks to the alarming success of Jackass, we are getting a rapid succession of youtube videos of people getting punched in the crotch.

I dont consider these “movies” or even “an experience”. I am not denying their entertainment value for some but aside from being chemically enhanced, I find little amusement with these films. I can only appreciate these gags in small doses. Someone spams a “neat video” of someone riding their bike off the roof of a house into a pool and people getting punted in the groin and I smile or cringe or offer whatever other appropriate reaction. But 3 hours of it?

I don’t think I would have that much tolerance for that.

Would you sit through 3 hours of this stuff? I might find about 10-15 minutes entertaining.

You can watch all 3 hours of their trial at 3 Hour Fail.com

6WH: Link Dump: Other Halloween Movie Marathons
It would seem that I'm not the only one watching lots of horror movies in preparation for Halloween. Here are a few blogs I follow that have been watching tons of movies: Six Weeks of Halloween - I would be remiss if I didn't call out kernunrex first, as the whole reason I do my six week marathon is because of him, and he's racking up quite the list this year, posting reviews almost every day.Final Girl: Stacie Ponder, as always, has wonderful things to post during the month she dubs Shocktober. This year, she's been collating a number of top 20 horror lists that people sent her (much to her surprise, she ended up with 732 different movies on the master list, which is pretty astounding). She's also got other lists, and some more lists, and pretty much lists everywhere. This blog has been a long time Kaedrin favorite, so give it a shot.Need Coffee - As per usual, Widge and the gang are watching lots of movies and finding obscure audio and video horror bits that are always fun to check out.Horror Movie a Day: I'm sure everyone thinks they're all badass for watching horror movies all month, but Brian watchings horror movies every day, all year long. And posts about them too. And he's been doing so for several years now. I'm kinda in awe of this.Midnight Tease: I seem to have infected Ben with a desire to participate, which he's been doing on a weekly basis like myself. Some interesting stuff, as always.Hey! Look Behind You: Nicki has been doing a 31 days of Halloween thing as well, with at least a post a day. I don't know how everyone does it. I can barely keep up posting twice a week!I'm leaving out hundreds of blogs here, but lucky for me, Countdown to Halloween has a pretty large list of other blogs doing the month of horror thing, so if you're still itching for more horror, check it out.That is all for now. I think this weekend I'll be getting back into some bread-and-butter slasher films of the early eighties.
