If there is a god,then why does he let things like Tenacious D exist and why on earth did he allow 'School of Rock' to happen?

whats wrong with the D? school of rock wasn't that bad. its not like "orange county" or jack playing a rasta man in "i know what you did last summer 55" was any better.

Actually, School of Rock WAS that bad. Except for the line "Everbody wants to party with Aretha!" That made me laugh.

I will reply to your PM soon, Mr. Telefunken. Today I jammed a drill into my thumb, right between the nail and skin. Fun.

Yeah School of Rock sucked (that one lead guitarist doing the 360 guitar strut was funny) and the CD sucked as well. But the Mr. Show Tenacious D's- I've watched over a 100 times and I'm not exagerating, If I still had it on video I'd watch it more.

The Tenacious D DVD has all the HBO shows (except the Mr. Show stuff)and the HBO short films that are pretty good. I mean, I took my moms to see School of Rock on her Birthday, and we laughed. We likeded it allot. It's a movie for kids, c'mon kid.

Most of the people I meet that are hatin' Tenacious D or Jack Black are also trying to convince me that Adam Sandler's a genius, so I'm not hearin it. Face it, far as good "comedy" actors in Hollywood, they gots a pretty empty bench.

Jack Black acts like the dumb kid in second grade that's desperate to make people laugh so he tries to act really weird, but in the end he's not that funny anyway so people just don't like him.

Except people do like Jack Black. Go figure.

i'd use it on the tv everytime i saw jack black.he's worse than the blue man group

There was another Jack Black, a career criminal who ended up as a librarian for the old San Francisco Call newspaper, who wrote a book about his life called "You Can't Win." This book was hugely influential to WS Burroughs, who took characters out of it and used them in his own fiction (i.e. Salt Chunk Mary). If a gun was put to my head and I had to name my favorite book ever, I'd have to go with "You Can't Win."

It's weird, at one point in "School Of Rock" Jack Black is ranting about The Man to the class and he says "You can't win" very loudly. I'm wondering if he took his name from the bk, or if Linklater knows about it and wanted that line in there, or if it was just pure coincidence?

THAT is a great book. Shits vs. Johnsons, the Sanctimonious Kid...thank you for reminding me to read that again.

The other Jack Black: His facial expressions while singing "Immigrant Song" are really funny to me. I don't think School of Rock was supposed to be a grown-up movie, though.

Yeah - let's turn this thing around. "You Can't Win" might just be my favourite book. There are so many voices in it. I would have loved to have met Jack Black; I bet he would have been an awesome raconteur.
