If you don't know who Jesco White (aka The Dancing Outlaw) is, I suggest you go do a YouTube search, or better yet, click HERE and get yourself a copy of the documentary that catapulted him into the national conciousness. Love him or hate him, he's the only one of his kind. Me? I'm damn proud to have his picture, inscribed to "The King," hanging on my wall. I just hope he gets fairly compensated for this thing (and if he does, I'd love to be around to see his spending spree). I guess Johnny Knoxville's stirred up all kinds of shit at Tribeca with this new Jesco documentary, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. While I'm not a fan of his Jackass stuff, I'm glad he put his ass and money on the line with this one. Big thumbs up from me. Some folks are harping that it's exploitative and all that nonsense. But is it any more so than the latest 20/20 reports or other assorted "news" specials on the drug crisis back in the hollers of Kentucky and West Virginia? Nowhere near as much, if you ask me. I guess it's only o.k. to document some pockets of the South when you're looking down your nose at it. Hell, I can't wait for this film. Also looks like our old buddy Hank 3's in it, so good on Johnny Knoxville again. Dig the trailer:

ReplyDeleteC'mon, and a fuckin' GG song in the trailer! Cannot wait to see this shit... By the way, I actually like "Jackass" and even followers like "Kenny vs Spenny." Too much pot, maybe?
