I don't hate him but he can't be anyone other than jack black. Every appearance I can only see him as jack black and not the character he is supposed to be acting as. He replaces the character.

That's his character though - annoying, but loyal loser struggling to make it Ina cruel world. It's what he does.

I watched Gulliver's Travels cause I thought it would be interesting. I didn't realize ahead of time that it was supposed to be a kid's movie. (At least, I hope it was supposed to be a kid's movie, cause it would've been really shitty by any other standard).

And I have to say, seeing Jack Black acting in a kid's movie just felt wrong. I mean, I've seen that man do dick-ups. I've seen him have a placebo acid trip in the desert after peeing on a pregnancy test. Oil and water, man. Some things just don't mix.

Of course, the spontaneous jam sessions were pretty cringe too. Like, "You were cool twenty years ago, dude. It's okay to retire and be lame now, but the lamest thing you can do is to keep trying to be cool..."
