I guess I’m out of the loop. I’m definitely biased, but I would be very surprised to hear that Jack Black did anything that would warrant my skepticism.
I’m only tangentially familiar with this, and more information may have come out lately, but I don’t think the above comment was related to anything he’s done in film lately.
Recently Tenacious D did a show (shortly after a shooting at a Trump rally) and Kyle Gass was presented with a birthday cake. He is reported to have said “Please don’t miss next time” before blowing out the candles. Jack Black has stated that all plans and tours for Tenacious D have been put on hold indefinitely and that he was “completely blindsided” by this move from Kyle. Some fans have themselves claimed to be blindsided by Jack’s response, arguing that he should have had Kyle’s back.
I tried to relay that with as little bias as possible, but I am no journalist. For my part I understand cancelling tours - saying that kind of thing tends to put a target on your back for people with more guns than brain cells, but I think cancelling EVERYTHING Tenacious D related may have been a step too far. Also, again, more information may have come out since I read about this.
With how quickly the world moved on, he might not have needed to even cancel any shows. Though I could have understood cancelling a few shows because it was hard to tell where things would go.
But another part of it was how much he wanted to create distance between himself and someone who thought the same thing many of his fans were already thinking.
I haven’t seen any videos or anything, but I have a feeling the birthday wish got a positive response from the audience. Especially being a show outside of the US.
I was gonna say the same thing. What all has he been in lately? I know some people just don’t like his style, but I feel like he does a great job for the genre he’s popular in.
It’s my understanding he was great in SMB movie, though I haven’t had the chance to see it myself, and I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I thought he was funny in The Mandalorian.
Not everyone can be Illumination with the Super Mario Movie I guess.
I never thought I would say or think those words. I think I need a shower.
The production companies on this one have made good movies in the past though
I’ve still only seen the sheep screenshots, it does kinda give me OG sonic movie treatment
Maybe they’re going that Jack Black will make it awesome. He nailed Bowser.
Jack Black is one of those actors that can make even the worst script at least moderately entertaining. I guess we’ll have to see.
He’s on a bit of thin ice though, lately.
