Made the unfortunate mistake of watching Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny last night, off the AppleTV. I should note right away that I normally have a very high tolerance for Jack Black’s constant recycling of his one-trick pony, air-guitaring rocker-boy persona. But this movie came up short for both chuckle-worthy headbanger antics and, well, anything to hold your interest through the many boring, non-chuckle-worthy parts of the movie.
Thanks to YouTube you can watch the (NSFW – language) best part of this flick, which is the opening four minutes and twenty-three seconds. The kid absolutely nails Jack Black’s expressions and mannerisms. But don’t be fooled, the rest of the movie is a complete waste of time. Enjoy this brief, funny clip and then forget you’ve ever heard of it.
T&C Rating: Negative integers too low to list here. Delete with extreme prejudice. (Except for the opening five minutes which rate 3 flaming corna out of 5.)
Chris is most often found flying a desk, but he delights in studying the Golden Age of Aviation (1919-1939). He admires all the pioneering men and women who navigated the skies with nothing more sophisticated than a map, compass and sextant—and the conviction that there was no place they could not reach.
