Jackass 2.5, the movie, in free streaming video but not for long

Jackass 2.5, as it’s called, was released exclusively this week on the web. And it’s free.

You can view it at the Blockbuster web site until the day after Christmas. It will stream for free until then with ads, of course.

On Dec. 26, it will be available on several sites, including Amazon and iTunes, but you’ll have to buy it. It also will be sold by retailers in DVD format, Variety says.

It’s Paramount’s first attempt at an Internet-only movie. It’s never too late to try something new, right?

It’s also a good chance to take a look at Johnny Knoxville and his bunch doing crazy stunts before plunking down real money for it.

I haven’t seen it. Let me know what you think.
