Nacho Libre

For whatever reason, Jack Black doesn't do it for me. He hasn't made me laugh since his brilliant turn in Bob Roberts. But lots of people seem to love him, which is the only explanation for why a movie executive would greenlight a project like Nacho Libre.

In Nacho Libre news there's this tidbit about Danny Elfman taking his credit off of the project. It's a reasonably rare occurence--particularly for someone of Elfman's stature.

The one thing that I can tell you is that my children - aged 7 and three - absolutely LOVE Jack Black. When he was hosting the Nick awards, they thought he was the best thing ever.
I think that is his real audience.

He didn't make you laugh in High Fidelity? Did you have a funny bone-otomy?

Jack Black, hipster douchebag, annoys me to no end. He's not funny, he screams and rants like a somewhat thinner and less booze-and-drug-addled Chris Farley, and he can't act.

He was only okay in High Fidelity because he was essentially playing himself: a know-it-all dickwad who feels superior to those who know less than he does.
