As an FYI, Jack Black is hosting the season opener of
Saturday Night Live this coming Saturday, Oct. 4.
Woo hoo!
For lots more on Jack Black, see the following:
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/28/magazine/28BLACKT.html (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/28/magazine/28BLACKT.html)
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/28/movies/28UDOV.html (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/28/movies/28UDOV.html)
JACK BLACK Dave Frishberg may be a jazz singer and Jack Black an actor, but both are hipster comedians of manners. Mr. Frishberg had his seriousness about jazz formed by bebop in the 1950's, when jazz musicians were widely accepted as philosopher-heroes. Mr. Black â?? whose new movie "School of Rock," in which he plays a grade-school teacher of rock manners, opens on Friday â?? had his seriousness about rock formed in the early 1980's, when Ronnie James Dio was acting out Arthurian male fantasies in Black Sabbath. Both Mr. Black and Mr. Frishberg are now operating in an era when the music of their youth seems grandiose and a bit old-fashioned; both are trying to intimate that they're aware of this problem. But if they are jaded, they are also generous performers who mean no harm. Make no mistake: Mr. Black's loving parodies of early-80's metal singing â?? in television appearances, and in this movie â?? are the steamrollers that have paved the runway for groups like the Darkness. When he sings the AC/DC song "It's a Long Way to the Top," in "School of Rock," humor is intended. But it is enough to send you back to the original.

What do you think he goes? Maybe 215? I've got two words for Jack Black...por....
No wait, two other words: Shallow Hal. Other than the 70's porn my wife makes me watch :) , that may be the worst movie I've ever seen.
3. How tall is Jack? He seems to be on the small side.
Yes, Jack isn't exactly the Jolly Green Giant. His height has been stated as anything from 5'4" to 5'6".
5. How much does Jack weigh?
I'm sure it's no secret that Jack has lost some weight in the past year or two. However, as to the exact amount...that's kinda personal dontcha' think? As far as his diet habits, I heard him mention once that he cut back on the carbs.
-
I met Jack Black at the 9:30 Club a few years ago when Tenacious D played. i was up in the balcony right to the left of the stage, and he was hanging out during the opening act. He was real short, but it looked like he had lost a lot of weight then, compared to how he looked on the HBO Tenacious D shows.

why do you care how much Jack Black, or anyone else for that matter, weighs?
Shouldnt you be more interested in arguing if the person is funny, or a good actor or a great singer?
Maybe you should change your name to shallow hal?

He won't last long. All funny fat guys die early!
John Belushi
Chris Farley
John Candy

Roy chubby Brown and The two Ronnies and Bernard Manning are still alive.
Perhaps thats just American funny guys then.

But being fat (actually he's more chubby than fat these days) and dumpy is part of his schtick. The persona that HE chooses to create give rise the question.

Being a (fat) schlub isn't part of Jack Black's schtick? Christ, he plays a character named "Fred Schlub". What more evidence do you want?
We haven't had a comedy at F-M in a while, so "Superer" comes at a good time. As we all know, comedy is a hard genre to write. Hell it's probably the hardest genre to write. Plenty of people are funny, but not many people can write funny. Can Marlowe write funny? We're about to find out, eh?
"Superer" is the sequel to the hit superhero parody "Super Movie." Fred Schlub, a.k.a. "The Triumphant" -- not Triumphant Man or Triumphant Boy, just "The Triumphant" -- is joined in his attempt to fight evil using no powers whatsoever by his mysterious niece Cherry Fox and bumbling best friend Al Arthurs. "The Triumphant" must foil the evil plot of the serendipitously named Erektra. One wordâ?¦ AWESOME!
Jack Black as Fred Schlub, Seann William Scott as Al Arthurs, Lacey Chabert as Cherry Fox and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Erektra comprise a surprisingly good cast. Jack Black as the overweight, powerless superhero is as natural as they come. Seann William Scott as the bumbling security guard is a perfect fit, and Zeta-Jones as the stunningly beautiful villain also works. In other words, the cast fits, and the directors are right for this genre. French Stewart turns in a powerhouse performance as "nearly everyone else." ;)

blah blah blah... after seeing the trailer for "school of rock" i'm so there. sounds like it's going to a great movie in the way "bend it like beckham" was. funny, well acted... can't wait :D

Rupert on survivor is fat. Fat goes a long way on a desert isle, IMHO.

Yes, but if some woman came on here and proclaimed she had a set of 34 D's, you and have the board would be all over her body type like a bunch of dumb little teenagers.

Close your legs, open your mind
Leave those compliments well behind
Dig a little deeper into yourself
And you may find
Come over here just sit right down
Needn't comb your hair, needn't pout or frown
I hear you've turned our young men
Into dribbling clowns
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
Make their day and go ahead
Remove your clothes lie on their bed
Just a last gasp chance or an outside bet
To the easily led
And before you do just what you do
Here' one thought for you to chew
The men who run the business that you sell
They screw you too
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
You're just another 365 night stand
But you're so handy, you're so handy
You cheapen and you nasty every woman in this land
But you're so handy, you're so handy
Your picture's hanging pretty on the squaddies' walls
You're Steven's, Andy's, you're Ian's, you're Paul's
Your body's through of fondly in the rugby mauls
But you want more
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?

Actually, being called "fatso" was the greatest thing that ever happened to me when I was younger. Served as lifelong inspiration to choose a lifestyle that helped rid me of that tag and be a more healthy person.

In other words, you find name calling to be extremely effective in ostracizing people or causing them to abandon behaviors with which one doesn't agree.
Are you really 36 years old?

I never said that.
I can only comment on how things worked for me. Using the inspiration of being called "fatso" did help me to change my behaviors and make me a better person.
Being called "faggot" is a totally different issue, in that it involves sexual preference, which to a large degree is not a choice like being fat is.
Choosing to live amongst people who at least on the surface are a little less homophobic was my choice in that matter, since choosing to change one's sexual preferences is much less a matter of choice that choosing to lose weight.

So these people were right to call you "fatso" because it had a beneficial influence on your life?
In fact, had it not been for them you may never have changed.

But the goal of the name-callers was to ostracize you.
_____________
os·tra·cize ( P ) Pronunciation Key (str-sz)
tr.v. os·tra·cized, os·tra·ciz·ing, os·tra·ciz·es
To banish by ostracism, as in ancient Greece.

And they were successful, through the use of name-calling.

So how did yours change if you didn't choose to change it?

I disagree Celeste...there's no way a totally straight person could ever decide to engage in homosexual acts. There must be some "gayness", for want of a better word, in there in the first place.

Its probably a sliding scale though. I mean if you were stuck in prison, or on a ship for months at a time, I am sure you would partake in a little of the up the bum no harm done.

I do fully agree with this one. It's an extremely complex issue. In some case, I believe it's fully a biological issue. In others, I think it's more a nurturing or environmental issue. In some cases, a mixture.
With that said, my cat is gay. :D

I beg to differ, having been on a ship for months at a time I can honestly say the thought of touching another mans willy did not enter my mind, and it's not common place either, regardless of the jokes. Of course, there are gays in the Navy, but it's not like you go hump a bloke if there's no women around, you just go without (after wanking loses it's appeal of course). Now they have women onboard warships so it's not an isuue.
I think the prison thing is more a power struggle, although I'd rather them beat the crap out of me to show me who's boss to be honest!
