Hot take : Jack Black is devoid of talent and people should just stop talking about him
Well I’m not sure it’s that hot here but it certainly is on the mainstream internet
Tenacious D was genuinely good and the little skits they did were funny at the time. He’s just been riding that fame for a very long time. Tbh I’m glad he’s just a shitlib unlike Gervais who made only 1 good thing and then dive bombed into being an insufferable twat
Gervais was insufferable right back to his days on The 11 O’Clock Show. I regard The Office as an anomaly.
I take it he’s always been that smarmy self obsessed athiest weirdo who thinks he’s above everyone else? Like the one true enlightened one.
The office really was an anomaly. The podcast with karl pilkington also but the humour entirely came from karl in that anyway and Gervais just served as a laugh track.
Anything I’ve seen where they involve Karl just comes across as playground bullying, but done by balding, middle-aged men.
Karl is a naturally very funny guy but the bullying was painful. Much preferred when he got his own show tormenting him for laughs wasn’t enjoyable to watch
Extras was really good though.
I mean talentless hack would make a good harry dubois it’s basically method acting
Lmao
Young Jake Black was good I just feel now in the era of continual media making and consumption he is now self insert “omg Jake Black!!!” instead of willing or being offered to actually play a character which is horrifyingly depressing. In fact Jake Black and Mamoa are examples of actors being reduced into their names the way capitalist media commonly reduces the arts down into the most easily consumable and marketable pieces like slop sold to readily hungry pigs
yeah but Jason Momoa only has acting chops for Aquaman really
Jason Momoa was good in Stargate Atlantis
I liked Momoa in Gambo
Now. He was always annoying
eghhh, he’s run his course but he had a few good movies where he acted well, and he can play some fun music. I wouldn’t say talentless. He’s just on a very cash-grabbing run as the gaming movie guy.
he’s very one note, and isn’t really an actor but more just plays himself. Once that got old after a couple movies, his career should have ended
He was good as a voice actor in the Metalocalpse movie. Not a fan of him in much else. I can’t speak to his talent because he just rubs me the wrong way and it wouldn’t be fair.
I enjoyed School of Rock.
That was a while ago now though.

He was really good as a supporting character actor in the x files lol
But this was so long ago he’s effectively a different person
also gets blown up by bruce willis in the jackal remake

what are you talking about it’s really hard to make a little trumpet with your hands and go diddley-diddley-dooooo
as is well known, it is impossible to grow facial hair or use hairpieces to replicate them. so we can only use actors for this role who are currently sporting mutton chops
also lol at using a man with a gigantic jaw made of titanium to portray Kim, whose main caricature feature is a small jaw.
Also I don’t think Jack Black has the acting ability to play Harry, and he’s not a good face for such a movie because of the genre people are used to see him act in

daniel dae kim as kim is borderline racist or something because they have nothing in common besides being korean/fantasy korean-new worlder, and having “kim” in their name. it would be like casting harry styles as tequila sunset

And all I gotta do is
act naturallyyyyy

ok now we’re cooking
I would watch it.

Mike is Harry. Jay is Kim. Rich is every other character
Harry is a drunk and talentless hack
Kim is a gay wing-man who is never wrong
It’s 1:1
Rich as Measurehead.
I like it.
lol I sent this to my partner with the same reaction yesterday
Stephen Root as Harry
Steven Yeun as Kim
yknow…not the worst ngl
Harry DuBois is basically Bill from King of the Hill if he were a pig instead of a troop
Stephen Root would make a perfect
Zionist Harry Du Bois would be something.
Ryan Gosling as every Disco Elysium character
Disco Literally Mesium
Casting aside, how would a game where at least half of the dialog takes place in the protagonist’s mind even work as a movie?

and it was infamously a terrible movie that even Lynch hated
David Lynch is wrong and I’m not afraid to say it.
half the movie is cross fades and narration. the 2nd 50% of the plot happens in like 5 minutes. it’s bad lmao
deleted by creator
it’s a bafflingly dull and badly paced movie filled with narration and cross-fades. Everyone I’ve ever tried to watch it with has fallen asleep
deleted by creator
Lynch wasn’t mad he couldn’t finish it. He said it was the worst experience of his life and he would never do anything like it again. He wanted off the project as soon as possible.
He spent more time on torturing a hairless cat and a minor lieutenant of the Atreides than he spent on the entirety of the Fremen people and Chani’s character. The new films are so much better it’s not even funny.

I love it and will die to defend it
Live action version of Inside Out
Just have them talk over the movie itd be like the movie form of an episode of psychosis
Give each person in the theatre a set of headphones that will overlay a randomised track with different in-head personas talking for each person watching. A slightly different experience every time.
Jack Black can’t play a drunk marxist cop when he’s always cast as the utopian anarchist who is suspiciously only surrounded by other white people.
Stavros Halkias as Harry
Takehiro Hira as Kim
Stavbot laughs
Skidoosh comrade.
Jack Black is a man with next to no principles beyond making a check. Who better to play somebody in a tabula rasa state.
