Jackass 3 in 3-D

Do you know how to tell that a film franchise has run its course?  You can usually tell when it tries to use a gimmick in order to try and stay relevant.  Its usually at this point in the film franchise that its smart to just give the franchise a rest.  But that I guess is where Jackass says no.

Not that Jackass was a serious film franchise by any count. 

But apparently, the guys making Jackass 3 are now saying that they may film Jackass 3 in 3-D.  This is absolutely ridiculous.  I have a hard time thinking that people need to see this film franchise in 2-D much less 3-D.  But I guess that after seeing someone take a baseball bat to the nuts a 100 times it does get a bit boring. 

Maybe 3-D is just what Jackass needs to spice up the franchise.  Then again, lets just hope this is the final nail in the coffin for this film franchise.
