I liked him enough, right up until he freaked out over KG’s “Next time, don’t miss” comment. After that, he can go fuck himself.
Yeah, I’ve always felt he was mid but likable until that moment.
Why was he angry at Kilograms?
He’s an Imperialist.
The reason he said that was because MAGAs are lunatics with guns and don’t want his shows to to be shot up.
He was protecting his fans.
‘Why Was I Being So Difficult?
Because you’re an arrogant fuck who thinks he’s more important than he is, I’m sick of Jack Black and his single note acting style. He phoned it in in the Minecraft movie, he’s pretty much just the same annoying fuck in everything he does, it was funny 20 years ago, not so much now.
I almost always hate his films because he plays Jack Black. But I actually really, really liked his performance in Bernie. It’s a great film based on actual events and absolutely worth going in blind. He plays a different role to his usual fare and made me wonder if he would go on to do more interesting stuff, but then nobody watched it and he went back to the same shit he always does.
Isn’t it a similar thing for Adam Sandler? He’ll do an uncut gems every decade, but his go to movies are just to make money and hang out with his friends.
just to make money and hang out with his friends.
Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life.
Love money to never life a day in your work.
I remember going to see Punch Drunk Love, and the utter confusion on the faces of people coming out of the earlier showing. They had clearly gone to see an Adam Sandler movie, not a PT Anderson movie.
Sometimes a role needs Jack Black, he is perfect in High Fidelity.
Be kind rewind was also good.
He phoned it in in the Minecraft movie
… that’s your metric?
No, it was a complaint.
… that’s your metric for complaints?
Is there a requirement for showing what metric I use to rate actors likeability? Don’t remember seeing that in the sidebar.
To be fair, though, the Minecraft movie is better because Jack Black sucks in it
Isn’t this the guy who was in Tenacious D with Rage Kage?
I heard Kyle quit the band.
Dude, I totally miss you
I really fucking miss you
I’m all alone
All the time, all the time
He was also an original cast member on Mr. Show.
Dunno why he’s getting so much hate here
Because he’s a bootlicker who can’t take a joke
Unlike the barrage of hate below, I actually don’t dislike Black — but I’m still glad this didn’t work out because Jason Lee has a perfect voice/delivery for animation. Surprised he hasn’t done more of it.
I still liked him up until the point he suspended Tenacious D over Gass’ birthday wish. They’re a rock band, of course they’re supposed to say and do controversial shit! Black backed out of it just to save his Hollywood prospects and I find that cold and calculating of him.
I can’t blame you there. I kind of forgot about that but it was shitty.
thank fuck he wasn’t in it. he’s only gotten more insufferable over time as it is, I’d have probably liked it less if it was his voice coming out. the character was great in high fidelity, too bad he can’t turn that bullshit off and do ANYthing else.
Brad Bird doesn’t need rewrites.
Jason Lee always does a great job. I haven’t liked Jack Black since his role in The Jackal.
Because he conflates being easy to cast with being talented and important.
I feel like I don’t “get” this movie. I saw it as a kid and I remember it being a pretty standard family friendly take on superheroes, but without any of the superheroes that I actually liked. Do people really think it’s “one of the best movies ever made,” or is that just Jack Black?
IMO Its appeal is that its a solid 8 out of 10 across the board.
The story is deep enough for adults but structured well enough for kids. It doesnt pander to boys or girls. No cheesy soundtrack or “scrappy do” bullshit. No terrible voice acting choices (Jack Black probably would have done a great job as Syndrome.) Dad kicks ass, Mom kicks ass. Its somehow almost a parody of a superhero movie while being better than most of them at being one. Somehow theres way less cinematic cringe bullshit than any Marvel movie. Its not just good as a kids movie or as an animated movie. Its a straight up GOOD MOVIE that you can put on for a room with 4 generations in it and its unlikely anyone will hate it.
Its no best movie ever made but I have a 6yo and when I hear “Can we watch The Incredibles?” It’s an automatic yes.
Yes, I think it is actually a superb movie for when it came out and still a pretty great one to this day.
Ifyou look at the character development throughout the movie for the main character and the story building, I think you’ll find it’s pretty robust for a family animated film. The animation style is relatively unique, noir inspired, great supporting characters, and the characters are mostly clever.
As a superhero movie I still think they use their powers together than anything shown in the MCU or DC counter parts. There is a lot of interplay of their abilities near the end of the movie.
But ya know it’s all up to preferences
It resonates really strongly with queer and neurodiverse white people because the Incredibles are a minority nuclear family. That’s common in immigrant and black stories, but not in queer or ND stories. So people can see themselves in the characters and explore those issues, without the movie telling them they have to be isolated from their nuclear family.
“What if Dad was like me”
Your comment made me realize why I like that movie so much, I’m both gay and a tylenol american.
Syndrome is rich people appropriating queer culture. He’s JK Rowling. He killed off real heroes so he could pretend to be one
The monicker of “best movie ever made” is incredibly subjective and thrown around a lot. But it is a solid movie and certainly one of my favourites from Pixar. My absolute favourite? I dunno, but top 5 definitely. Maybe in my top 3.
I like black. he’s a good actor.
Right, let’s just put this guy in every movie ever, would that be enough?
