Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny 2006
Alright, alright, I know what you're gonna say...
"Rory you hardly ever post here and when you do it's often by accident."
Sadly, too true.
However, considering I've seen 50% of the last two movies reviewed, I figured, I might as well get into the fray.
The only reason I went to see "The Pick" was because I was on vacation with friends in scenic Minneapolis, MN.
I also really usually respect Jack Black. But some times he falls a bit short. Did he fall short in this movie? No. Did the movie fall short on him? Yes. (Is it really rhetorical if I then go and answer the question? No.)
Apart from the "Deus Ex Pant-china" that earns JB, played by Jack Black (!?), his pick, the only thing differing from "The Complete Masterworks" DVD, was the seminal references to cum. (Can I type that?)
The movie was a rehashed love baby of the HBO episodes and DVD complete with Liam Lynch.
I'm indifferent towards his directing, and I think that Spike Jonze might have done better. The opening sequence with Meat Loaf and Dio was pretty sweet with good performance by the kid. It would have been better if the sync was right in the theatre (maybe it's not just the theatre, or maybe it's just because people from the twin cities hear and see at a different rate than normal people residing in MT).
I thought that it was pretty blase, as opposed to when Spongebob came out.
Maybe I'm just getting too old and think that movies about zany potheads going on buddy-movie-hero-quest, aren't that cool. However I did like Harold & Kumar. Crazy idea: make a sequel to Harold & Kumar instead of cut rate crap like Van Wilder.
National Lampoon's should think about getting back into publishing and out of the movie business.
This rant is closed.
