The Poojer Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 an advance screening for us CC folks....I was expecting a typical Jack Black movie..it was and then some...it is almost a rock opera, but friggin hilarious...I described it as Part "Godspell", "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Rocky Horror", "Tommy" and "Holy Grail". This isnt really a family movie and probably more of a guy movie...but if you like rock and roll, I would highly recommend this movie...truly enjoyable...and Black and Gass are pretty damned talented musicians!

ajzepp Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Very cool....I really want to see this one. I don't know why, but when I saw the previews the first thing that jumped into my mind was 'Bill and Ted' ..... Jack Black is not someone I put in the same category as a Will Ferrell or a Steve Carrell.....not even close, actually. But he gives a consistently entertaining performance in every movie I see him in. I pretty much know what to expect from his schtick, and I'm game for it. I think the guy is pretty cool.

justnzane Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Rage Cage and JB are the bomb, i loved their origninal Tenacious D clips that used to air on comedy central. Jack is definitely an entertaining guy that worked hard to get his chance in Hollywood, and deserves every minute of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Definitly on my list of Movies I have to see I've been a huge 'D' fan for a while and the 2 of them are hilarious I wouldn't put JB at the same level as Will Ferrell but just below. and Steve Carrell is definitly rising to the same level as Ferrell. The problem with JB has been some of the roles he has played and the movies. I thought School of Rock was probably one of his best, Saving Silvermen was alright but not great, and I thought Shallow Hal and Envy (I think thats the name of the one with him and Ben Stiller) were not worth watching. It is good to hear that it is good, I was worried that it might be too dumb for most people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeFerguson Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 The HBO show they had several years back was excellent IMHO, but there were only like 6 episodes. I'm excited about the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that concert rocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I don't know, I used to love Jack Black when as part of Mr Show ("Jeepers Creepers" is his finest comedic moment, IMO), but I just don't find the Tenacious D stuff all that funny...it just tries a little too hard. A little bit of JB's shctick goes a long way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
