Jack Black used to make my eyes twitch... but then he did School of Rock! I sat there afterwards, thinking "do I need to start liking Jack Black now? how can this be?" Then he became popular... and sexy? Alright FINE. And yet now everyone apparently hates him again. I can't keep up.
I was surprised at how much I liked him in the Jumanji movies.
Still need to watch the Jumanji reboots.
They are unapologetically popcorn movies, but surprisingly clever in bits.
I think people might just be tired of him showing up in every video game movie adaptation. I love Jack black because of the holiday and school of rock.
personally i think he's just a bad live actor but good physical actor. i really like him in kung fu panda and mario.
*voice actor
I love being proven wrong about actors that I dislike. It encourages me to look back on their previous work and discover small things I hadn't noticed which one particular performance tapped into. Or to realize there never was anything wrong with them in the first place - just my preconceptions.
People hate Jack Black now!?
Something about turning on one of his band members who spoke out in favor of Palestine? I can barely remember now.
After Trump almost got assassinated the first time, the D were doing a show. Also happened to be Kyle's birthday. Brought out a cake on stage, and Kyle made a wish, jokingly saying "Don't miss Trump next time". (1)
Lot of people on the right got angry (you know, the anti-Cancel Culture crowd), KG and JB released corporate apologies and cancelled the rest of the tour. They are however still friends, and the narrative was twisted by the Internet to paint Jack in a negative light. The D will return at some point
Oh dang
