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.
  
  Extras was really good though.
- I mean talentless hack would make a good harry dubois it's basically method acting
  
  Lmao
- 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
  
  yeah but Jason Momoa only has acting chops for Aquaman really
  
  Now. He was always annoying
- 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 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 enjoyed School of Rock.
  That was a while ago now though.
- what are you talking about it's really hard to make a little trumpet with your hands and go diddley-diddley-dooooo
- 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
  
  also gets blown up by bruce willis in the jackal remake

as is well known, it is impossible to grow facial hair or use hairpieces to replicate them. so we can only use actors for this role who are currently sporting mutton chops
also lol at using a man with a gigantic jaw made of titanium to portray Kim, whose main caricature feature is a small jaw.
- Also I don't think Jack Black has the acting ability to play Harry, and he's not a good face for such a movie because of the genre people are used to see him act in

daniel dae kim as kim is borderline racist or something because they have nothing in common besides being korean/fantasy korean-new worlder, and having "kim" in their name. it would be like casting harry styles as tequila sunset

- And all I gotta do is
  act naturallyyyyy

lol I sent this to my partner with the same reaction yesterday

- ok now we're cooking
- I would watch it.

Stephen Root as Harry
Steven Yeun as Kim
- yknow...not the worst ngl
  
  Harry DuBois is basically Bill from King of the Hill if he were a pig instead of a troop
- Stephen Root would make a perfect

Ryan Gosling as every Disco Elysium character
Disco Literally Mesium

Zionist Harry Du Bois would be something.

Jack Black can't play a drunk marxist cop when he's always cast as the utopian anarchist who is suspiciously only surrounded by other white people.

Casting aside, how would a game where at least half of the dialog takes place in the protagonist's mind even work as a movie?
- and it was infamously a terrible movie that even Lynch hated
- Live action version of Inside Out
- Just have them talk over the movie itd be like the movie form of an episode of psychosis
  
  Give each person in the theatre a set of headphones that will overlay a randomised track with different in-head personas talking for each person watching. A slightly different experience every time.

Stavros Halkias as Harry
Takehiro Hira as Kim
- Stavbot laughs

Skidoosh comrade.

Jack Black is a man with next to no principles beyond making a check. Who better to play somebody in a tabula rasa state.

Personally i would love to see Hollywood totally miss the mark (as they always do) and miscast Kim . Someone like a Ma Dong-seok, or some other buff dude. Just a cursed big and burly Kim.

Fuck no.
