Hot take : Jack Black is devoid of talent and people should just stop talking about him

Well I’m not sure it’s that hot here but it certainly is on the mainstream internet

Tenacious D was genuinely good and the little skits they did were funny at the time. He’s just been riding that fame for a very long time. Tbh I’m glad he’s just a shitlib unlike Gervais who made only 1 good thing and then dive bombed into being an insufferable twat

Gervais was insufferable right back to his days on The 11 O’Clock Show. I regard The Office as an anomaly.

I take it he’s always been that smarmy self obsessed athiest weirdo who thinks he’s above everyone else? Like the one true enlightened one.

The office really was an anomaly. The podcast with karl pilkington also but the humour entirely came from karl in that anyway and Gervais just served as a laugh track.

Young Jake Black was good I just feel now in the era of continual media making and consumption he is now self insert “omg Jake Black!!!” instead of willing or being offered to actually play a character which is horrifyingly depressing. In fact Jake Black and Mamoa are examples of actors being reduced into their names the way capitalist media commonly reduces the arts down into the most easily consumable and marketable pieces like slop sold to readily hungry pigs

eghhh, he’s run his course but he had a few good movies where he acted well, and he can play some fun music. I wouldn’t say talentless. He’s just on a very cash-grabbing run as the gaming movie guy.

he’s very one note, and isn’t really an actor but more just plays himself. Once that got old after a couple movies, his career should have ended

He was in way more shitty cashgrabs than good movies even before he made video game movies.

He was good as a voice actor in the Metalocalpse movie. Not a fan of him in much else. I can’t speak to his talent because he just rubs me the wrong way and it wouldn’t be fair.

I’m not sure I even remember it. I could probably say that about most of the movies he was in lol.

He was really good as a supporting character actor in the x files lol

But this was so long ago he’s effectively a different person
