#MusicVIDEO Jack Black - Peaches (Directed by Cole Bennett) The Super Mario Bros. Movie

 Alright, let's try to avoid spoilers for the rest of the world, heh?

This song started as a joke, got put into the film, and is now a perfectly epic music video. Check it out!

#NintendoNEWS The Super Mario Bros. Movie - Official Trailer (Universal Pictures) HD

Alright, color me hyped! I'm loving all I'm hearing from the voice cast. Mario fits. Bowser is badass. Luigi is perfect. I love the Mario Kart references! And the Galaxies! Yoshis! The Kong (I like their Aztec-inspired look in a Mario setting, but wouldn't like it for a DK spinoff/game..)

CANT WAIT!!!

#NintendoNEWS The Super Mario Bros. Movie Official Teaser Trailer

 I'm still not sure how I feel about this.. movie so far.

Illumination definitively stepped up their game for this one, the art style and animation looks miles beyond anything they've done in the past. As for the new interpretation, tone and voices... hmm.. I need to see more to get used to it all.

Some bits are weirdly too serious. It acts as an origin story for the games?? The new original kingdoms feel off to Nintendo's world building. Jack Black is maybe the only thing I'm sold on so far.

The film is called "Super Mario Bros." (well, like the games, of course) but so far it didn't put much emphasis on the whole "super" nor "brothers" aspect. I do like seeing Luigi paired with the spooky elements as usual tho.

You know what all this reminds me of actually? Not the game. But the ol' Super Mario comics from way back when.

 

Or maybe it's just not for me. Wait and see...

#MovieNEWS JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL - Official Trailer (HD)

Nobody asked for a new Jumanji. And it became a huge success.

Nobody asked for a sequel (or third Jumanji? or 4th, do we count Zathura?), but here is another one. And it actually looks pretty fun.

Check it out:



Wait and see..

#Ad Activision - Pitfall! With Jack Black (Commercial, 1983)

Since people are talking about Jack Black's youtube gaming channel, here's a young JB in a 1983 Pitfall commercial!

#MusicBOX Tenacious D - Tribute (Video)

Since I've been listening to Tenacious D's new release Post-Apocalypto all the time this past week, here's an oldie but a goodie:



Classic D!

And here's POD while I'm at it!

#MusicBOX Gorillaz - Humility (Official Video)

A new Gorillaz song AND album! It's like Christmas Eve! Plus this song is also a collab with Jack Black of Tenacious D fame - what more to ask!?

#HorrorNEWS The House With a Clock in Its Walls trailer

Here's some random news.

Hostel and Cabin Fever director Eli Roth is making a new horror film! But this one might not be as gory as his past work, since it will be produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment company.

It's an adaptation of the popular children's book The House With a Clock in Its Walls by John Bellairs and illustrated by Edward Gorey. And it stars Jack Black, Cate Blanchett and even Twin Peaks Kyle MacLachlan!

Sounds intriguing! Will this be a fun 80/90s horror film for the whole family, kinda like Goosebumps was able to channel some of Joe Dante's classic tone, or will it be a big CGi mess? Check it out:



Wow! Good sets and great props, actually! I'm in.

The film came out of nowhere, but it looks fun! It's expected for September 21.

#MusicBOX "Weird Al" Yankovic - Tacky

I love this clip/music/parody from Weird Al!



I always lose it at the surprise Jack Black and his dance moves!~

#MovieNEWS JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE - Official Trailer #2

This new trailer for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle makes it seem actually kind of ok. I'm not sure I like the premise or even what they're doing with Jumanji.. but, hey! The cast is GREAT! I'll take more Karen Gillian over this dumb reboot:



This new trailer does seem to confirm it's a sort of continuation and the game can sort of-shapeshift....?

The film comes out December 20.

#BestOf Nacho Libre (6/10) Movie CLIP - Party for Ramses (2006)

One of my favorite scenes from one of my all-time favorite Jack Black films. I always felt like he did a lot better in smaller/indie productions than big comedies/blockbusters (also see: Be Kind, Rewind and Bernie):



I love how he almost breaks character and almost slips into a Tenacious D song there.

#MovieNEWS JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE - Official Trailer

The first trailer for Dwayne Johnson's Jumanji reboot-ysh sequel-ysh remake is out! And it's... well, let's just watch it:



I like the original Jumanji (and Zathura). And this seems.. to be missing the point. I love the cast, and I'm even ok with turning the boardgame into a video game.. But then all the clichés... Kevin Hart is short-jokes...

But the real problem for me is to bring the characters into the jungle, just doesn't work as well as bringing the jungle to the kids.. it becomes a much more generic traditional story instead of the creepy original tale that was the original Jumanji. With people not believing the kids, the animals running rampant in the house and the city...

This "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" sequel-boot will be released on December 20.

#MTVAwards Spider Man Parody Movies with Jack Black

Here's a blast from the past, it's a cult classic Spider Man parody from the MTV Awards way back when, starring Jack Black and Sarah Michelle Gellar!



Good times!

#MovieNEWS! First pic of new JUMANJI

So there's a first picture of the upcoming Jumanji reboot - or is it actually a follow-up as The Rock proclaims?

Anyways, it gives us a first look at the character he will be playing next up to Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black! And it looks... absolutely goofy! In a good cheesy-kind of way. Check this out:

Wow! I mean, Karen Gillian looks adorably sexy, in a goofy Tomb Raider-kind of way. And they all look like characters out of a stereotype role playing game or... a boardgame! I wonder if they will only be fictional characters within the game... or if this Jumanji sequel/reboot/remake/prequel/whatever just completely missed the mark here...

MR Waterworld

Here's a vastly underrated 90s classic!

It's like Mad Max, on the water.

#BestOf The Neverending Story 3 - Jack Black

I dunno what your feelings are regarding the The Neverending Story films. A lot of people adore the original. And sequels are... something else.

But one thing the cheap 3rd "direct-to-video"-looking sequel got is having JB plays the main villain. You don't even need context to enjoy this much 90s goofiness:

And no, that little girl didn't say "Nazis" but "The Nasties". Believe me!

#MusicBOX - Tenacious D "Classico"

One of my all-time favorite Tenac' songs and a great scene from their movie:

#MusicBOX - Weird Al's "Tacky"

The new "Weird Al" Yankovic CD is out, Mandatory Fun!

Here's the very first new music video, done in collaboration with the Nerdist channel with whom Yankovic's been working nowadays! It features one long-ass on-going continuous shot (which is always impressive!) and some familiar faces like Margaret Cho, Jack Black and even Kristen Schaal!
