Now that the dust has settled what is the Sup Forums consensus on Jack Black? I don't think I've ever seen Sup Forums discuss him for some reason
I've always enjoyed any movie I've seen that has him in it and I enjoyed Tenacious D in the early noughties.

I only recently learned he's jewish.
kike
He's likable as fuck but he's better as a side character honestly.
He’s hit or miss. School of Rock and Brutal Legend were awesome
I like that Foo Fighters song Learn to Fly
He was at his best in Bernie.
I've never really liked any of his movies.
Based gnomejew
he is a convert so he isnt ethnically hebrew afaik
Can be top tier, but his on screen persona is pretty transparently an act. He's just a normal jew from Santa Monica who was bar mitzvah'd and has a family. Probably a nice guy. Can't help but find that disappointing.
>Jack’s mother is from a Jewish family (of Russian Jewish descent). Jack’s father converted to Judaism when marrying Jack’s mother, and Jack was raised Jewish.
He's been in some dumb movies but he's been in some where he's petty great, like Bernie. I love Tenacious D, that first album is a legitimate classic, although I have a feeling that it's Kyle doing most of the heavy lifting musically. That assumption is based on nothing though.
thanks for the correction
Kyle is an amazing musician and I wouldn't be surprised if you're right but Jack can definitely sing well.
family man, he isn't the best actor but its clear he never wanted to be, took some serious roles but hes overall a funny type cast.
His personal interviews are nice, you can tell hes a good man.
All the guitar playing is Kyle, he's literally classically trained. Tenacious D would really suck without him, those lixx are tasty.
You obviously havent been paying attention to the jumanji threads
Haven't been in them since I haven't watched it yet. Waiting for the VOD or bluray release since I dislike going out to theaters unless it's something really cinematic.
He was great in Jackson's King Kong which is the only role i can remember where he wasn't comic relief.
Really inspired casting though I still can't get over the fact he has the last line of spoken dialogue in the film.
Right but I mean as far as the writing goes. Jack probably does lyrics but I wonder if he is involved much in the actual music composition. You get a songwriting credit just for lyrics so you can't really tell if he contributes to the music much or if Kyle does the whole thing himself and then hands Jack a completed song and melody to write lyrics over.
I think even if all I'd ever seen him in was Jumanji 2, I'd think he was a fine actor. He is incredibly believable as a teenage instagram thot.
No question Jack brings a lot to the table with his vocal skills. Unsure about who gets songwriting credit though.
They both take songwriting credit but that's what I'm saying, because you get songwriting credit for lyrics it's impossible to tell if he is involved in the songwriting outside of the lyrics. And I'd be more impressed if Jack was involved in the songwriting because they've written some great songs. Being pretty good at singing is one thing, that's cool and all, but if he contributed musically to the albums then I'm really impressed.
Seems like a likable guy.
School of Rock is a classic. He's been great in other movies like Bernie.
As this poster said:
He plays a perfect thot in Jumanji and made what I thought was an enjoyable movie even better.
From what i read about the song tribute, Jack mostly comes up with the song ideas and they exchange ideas when they write the music.
"Song idea" doesn't really mean anything to me. I want to know who wrote the melody and chord progression and who arranged it and that sort of thing.
>I want to know who wrote the melody and chord progression and who arranged it and that sort of thing.
I can almost guarantee you that Kyle does all that.
Right that's my guess too but you never know maybe Jack can write a pretty good vocal melody.
Yeah I could actually see Jack writing all the vocal stuff.
Writing a melody is one thing but the project is grounded in Gass. Jack is the idea and vocalist (front man) and Kyle lays the bedrock with for real playing and arranging chops.
Triples confirm. Praise be to Gass.
I really like Nacho Libre, despite how bad it is.
I'm a sucker for Napoleon Dynamite too, so it's either nostalgia or I just like the Hess brothers.
He's a good actor, but he really let himself go around 2004 or so. He's also been in a fair share of quite bad films.
I think he's a good man though.
what did he mean by this?
youtube.com
Tenacious D was great, pick of destiny was a decent follow up to it, everything else I've seen him in was lame. But I've heard the new Jumanji was decent too.
He had a good song in the Probot album too
Nacho Libre and Pick Of Destiny are kino.
>he is a convert
But that's even worse
this.
Jack black should of won an oscar for nacho libre
(((HE'S))) (((A))) (((JOOOOOOO))) xD amirite my alt right brothers? PRAISE KEK
is thatta way mate
I like Jack Black, he plays samey kinda characters but PoD is a great movie I watch every year and I'm not even a stoner.
He was funny when I was 13-14 years old. When I see him "act" now, I can't help but cringe at how horrible he is.
youtube.com
Just horrible. I just want to die. Fucking chinks. Fucking Americans. Just kill yourselves.
He's great when he isn't Jack Black.
>He was funny when I was 13-14 years old.
it sounds like you forgot to have fun.
He's great in roles or projects you can tell he really wanted to be in. Anything else though not so much.
>jewish
The proper term is 'best American'
He's great tons of kino Airborrne, Orange County, school of rock, tenacious d, bernie was good also be kind rewind was a nice flick
He looked super uncomfortable smoking weed on Getting Doug.
He was great in Tropic Thunder.
He looked better with that blond buzzcut desu.
A tryhard lovable goof but I grew up with his shenanigans courtesy of the Foo Fighters so I might be biased.
kind of a place holder for this dude
did they ever make a movie together?
Because Doug is a literal retard, that has people who smoked occasionally years ago, hit snoop dogg super-junkie level wax dabs and the like. If he'd actually consider the proper dosage for people, they'd probably feel better while doing the show.
I would be fine if high fidelity was just him fucking with people
Fat, unattractive, obnoxious, disheveled. reminds Sup Forums too much of their own selves to they ignore he exists.
Look into my eyes and then you will see one and one makes two, two and one makes three it's destiny!
He's unironically perfect in the Kung Fu panda films. Literally the perfect casting for the character.
His live immigrant song performance was fantastic.
He can definitely sing
