For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.

Used to be different but Jack Black needs to go away. Every time I see him in something its the same character over and over, pudgy loser that plays air guitar and scats at every opportunity cause he's all quirky like that.

Him and Pratt need to go away for a while

I totally agree.

Also I just saw your user name and I started imagining a movie pitch in my head and laughed. Thank you for making my day

I want it directed by the ghost of Ralph Bakshi. Plenty of rotoscope and rough surrealism

Pratt’s a Nazi and can fuck off for good

He’s like Adam Sandler in some of his roles, too. Pudgy loser man… married to or dating a knock out super model.

I can't stand him, and my feeling is he's a twat as well

Used to love him as a teenager rocking out to Tenacious D. Recent activity is pretty cringey though.

Minecraft movie would have been so much better without Jack Black.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

The Minecraft movie was terrible though. Swapping him out with a different actor wouldn't have helped.

It was a huge movie and the whole thing looked like they had a budget of about $20 and about $19 went on the set so they had to get the script written by somebody they hired of fiver

I think in the case of the Minecraft movie, Jack Black is a symptom of a bigger issue with the movie; it was always a cash grab
