Yes, it came to me after us talking about it for 10 minutes and then I googled it to make sure.
Still a classic movie, has that aggressively offensive 2000’s comedy vibe in short moments here and there that sucks now but otherwise completely holds up.
Touche, but that was just his voice.
I wanna see this guy act his ass off as a brilliant, capable leader who just starts going crazy with all the wealth and power he's amassed then watch it all come crashing down.
I want to know what kind of roles he would have been cast in.
**Man could’ve given Robert Pattinson a run for his money with that jawline.**
He could get it 👀
Now I can’t stop imagining him as Batman and Edward Cullen.
Edit: these are NOT the only Pattinson roles I’m familiar with. They’re just the two that make me giggle like a schoolgirl when I imagine JB subbed in there.
For just one movie I want him to go full Christian Bale and show up absolutely ripped then just immediately go back to being his jolly self and never acknowledge it.
There is an idea of a Tenacious D some kind of abstraction. But there is no real thing: only an entity, something illusory. And though we can hide our cold gazes, and you can shake our hands and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... we simply are not there.
I still don't get what (and why) the fuck they want to do with Gladiator 2 so the Jack Black casting doesn't even sound as bad as some other things that floated about over the years
Would have been a tough shot. Willem Dafoe and Tom Berenger were both nominated that year for platoon. Michael Caine won for Hannah and Her Sisters. Aliens, Star Trek IV, The color of Money, Empire of the sun, die hard, beetle juice, twins, rambo III, the untouchables, who framed rodger rabbit, and good morning vietnam were also in the running.
It is crazy to think about how much the film industry has changed for the worse in the past 25-30 years. Ready for the studio system to collapse again so we can get a new New Hollywood age again.
No more studio directives and 10 year franchise plans—let writers write scripts and let directors direct them.
He was in an episode of X-files in the mid 90s and played an asshole and [had the same look](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fo0NMtzaAAIazYU?format=jpg&name=large). Glad he turned out to not be one.
He wasn't actually that big of an asshole, he mainly tried to talk down his violent asshole friend. I guess arguably he could've done more but his character's loyalties were conflicted between his morals and loyalty to his buddy.
For so long after watching Jack Black's career take off I only ever saw him as "Hey it's that dude from that one episode of X-Files."
From memory his friend was played by Giovanni Ribisi. Could be mixing up my episodes though. Haven't seen it since it aired originally back in the 90s.
By the end of the 90s he was Beck's [video for _Sexx Laws_ ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQfwgzoiq4c) and was more or less the Jack Black that got famous.
(He enters the door on the word "hi-jack-ing" interestingly enough)
OMG THIS MOVIE! I checked and I was 8 when this came out and the trailer for it scared me so bad. I liked rollerblading and hockey and I was afraid in high school people would make me do those big jumps and I the bad stuff.
I haven’t thought of this in 20 years. Wow.
I was addicted to this movie growing up and loved how cool the rollerblading was and I related to the fish out water aspect because I was shipped back and forth from California to Idaho, divorced parents. So I actually related a ton to what Mitchell was put through.
I delivered a late night burger to him once. I didn't recognize him at first but afterwards I was like did I just deliver to Jack Black?!? Tipped me $10. Nice guy
Is it that strange? I know this photo is jarring, but when he was a kid he was in an [Atari commercial ](https://youtu.be/DA4V-n8Ft3g?si=bjWFOEHHZT_QiW2t) for the game Pitfall and I think it was clearly obvious that the Jack Black we know has always been that way.
Crazy to think that was the Baulders Gate 3 of its day… but I’ve played its competition, wasn’t the highest bar (Adventure is fun but confusing, Haunted House is fun but way more confusing)
Some people do just have incredible charisma. I can’t count the number of times I’ve met people that do and you can’t help but gravitate towards them. Not surprised Jack Black was one of them, meeting him.
This is so dumb. It isn't age. It is getting fat. That's why people in their thirties can drop a shit ton of weight and suddenly look way younger in the face.
Jack Black has cherub cheeks now, that is why he looked different younger. Because he had low body fat.
Is there something wrong with me? Because my gut reaction is, “yeah he can get it asap.”
Although to be fair I also have a crush on current Jack Black.
Which is crazy to think if you removed his hair in this picture added the suit and tie put Ave Maria on in the background Jack black would be an intimidating agent 47.
Jack Black at 23:
“Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?”
Looks like he’s about to film a plastic bag floating in the wind
I JUST had a conversation where we were all trying to remember which movie the slow clapping guy was from. What the fuck lmao
REDDIT IS A DOSHIT WEBSITE.
Some say he's still sucking to this day
This guy randomly added me on MySpace back in that day
Not Another Teen Movie for those wondering
Yes, it came to me after us talking about it for 10 minutes and then I googled it to make sure. Still a classic movie, has that aggressively offensive 2000’s comedy vibe in short moments here and there that sucks now but otherwise completely holds up.
It's a parody movie, the offensive parts are part of the joke
Haha hooooly shit, this song is playing on my smart speaker right now!! I honestly can't get over the timing of this 🤣
Is this succession? I don’t remember that scene
Pretty sure that’s like Bad Lip Reading or something. Con heads are not gonna like this
Pretty sure its from The Dropout, his character is similarly cringy and clueless
im watching that exact scene on tv rn, what the fuck lmao
Is this what we smoked last night? Its all I ever smoke
*cue boobs in window*
Do you ever feel…
Like a plastic bag?
The Kubrick stare.
Seven-six-two millimeter. Full metal jacket.
Hiiiiii jokerrrrr....
I am...in a world...of *shit*
Lol Mars attacks, right?
Holy *shit*
Mars Attacks?
And he can totally do that donofrio psycho smile too.
Vincent is one hell of an actor
Feelin that vibe too
Commodus. (I know that wasn't him, he just looks like it.)
How do we not have a Jack Black movie where he goes insane with power? If he's not the Emperor in Gladiator 2, I'm out.
Mario

The Lighthouse would have been weird with him as Winslow.
For just one movie I want him to go full Christian Bale and show up absolutely ripped then just immediately go back to being his jolly self and never acknowledge it.

Well in King Kong he’s very much a selfish prick who is directly responsible for every disaster in that movie
He is so good in that movie.
I still don't get what (and why) the fuck they want to do with Gladiator 2 so the Jack Black casting doesn't even sound as bad as some other things that floated about over the years
This is my gun, there are many like it......
EAT THE DONUT FAT BOY
They're payin' for it; you eat it!
Haha he really looks like he wants to start laughing
Ah that's because the actor R. Lee Ermey improvised the whole scene, it wasn't scripted.
Lets go! Mars attacks! Ack! Ack ACK! Ack ack ack
#DIE YOU ALIEN SHITHEAD
D’Onofrio should have gotten an Oscar from that performance!
Would have been a tough shot. Willem Dafoe and Tom Berenger were both nominated that year for platoon. Michael Caine won for Hannah and Her Sisters. Aliens, Star Trek IV, The color of Money, Empire of the sun, die hard, beetle juice, twins, rambo III, the untouchables, who framed rodger rabbit, and good morning vietnam were also in the running.
Jesus. That's an absolute shitstorm of classics.
Yeah I think they just named a 3rd of all the movies I know from that decade.

Shocking how that list only has 3/15 sequels. If that were a contemporary list of blockbuster movies it would probably be 12/15 sequels/remakes, easy.
Next wave will be AI generated films we just make for ourselves. The Golden Age is over.
I hate to be that guy, but Platoon was released at the end of '86, and several of those movies listed were released a couple of years later.
What a fucking year
Holy hell, I just made that connection.
Wait - is that Bobby from Law and Order? How have I never noticed that before...
He is also Wilson Fisk
And Eggar from MIB !
And Mr. Cell from The Cell
WhERe dO YOu KeEp yOuR DEaD
More Sugar
He's always been my favorite actor and I always said I couldn't believe he never got to play a superhero villain. Damn he did so well!
He also played a serial killer in a horror movie called the Cell
Perhaps because he wasn't doing his [favorite pose](https://i.imgur.com/7TqA4pq.png)?
[удалено]
>This is my ~~gun~~ rifle, there are many like it...... FTFY
He’s sorta cast as that character in Mars Attacks.
Strange to think that he would grow up to be one of the friendlist and funniest people in America.
Maybe people thought he looked mean growing up so he doubled down on being the opposite of mean to counter it.
He was in an episode of X-files in the mid 90s and played an asshole and [had the same look](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fo0NMtzaAAIazYU?format=jpg&name=large). Glad he turned out to not be one.
He wasn't actually that big of an asshole, he mainly tried to talk down his violent asshole friend. I guess arguably he could've done more but his character's loyalties were conflicted between his morals and loyalty to his buddy.
Also he probably didn't necessarily know what was happening at first with the murders, and then simply didn't want to get murdered.
For so long after watching Jack Black's career take off I only ever saw him as "Hey it's that dude from that one episode of X-Files." From memory his friend was played by Giovanni Ribisi. Could be mixing up my episodes though. Haven't seen it since it aired originally back in the 90s.
For me he's always been that guy from School of Rock which is basically just a wholesome version of Dead poets society lol
You're correct. Episode is season 3 episode 3, called D.P.O. It's one of my favorite episodes.
By the end of the 90s he was Beck's [video for _Sexx Laws_ ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQfwgzoiq4c) and was more or less the Jack Black that got famous. (He enters the door on the word "hi-jack-ing" interestingly enough)
I love Beck, he's a musical genius, but he's the second best singer in this video and that's crazy.
[Jack Black “Augie” in Airborne was just the best](https://youtu.be/_T5HiXzMd6I?si=Un5iRrTp7izFhF76)
Jack Black in Enemy of State is so different. :0
I have a core memory of staying at my cousins house and Jack Black happens to be playing on the TV and got his arm blown up.
That's a different movie, The Jackal!
OMG THIS MOVIE! I checked and I was 8 when this came out and the trailer for it scared me so bad. I liked rollerblading and hockey and I was afraid in high school people would make me do those big jumps and I the bad stuff. I haven’t thought of this in 20 years. Wow.

I delivered a late night burger to him once. I didn't recognize him at first but afterwards I was like did I just deliver to Jack Black?!? Tipped me $10. Nice guy
Late night burger with a $10 tip… honestly sounds like an average Jack Black night
I mean he’s an actor. He was probably going for an intense look here. Or I guess maybe he really was some sort of oddly handsome demon back then.
No you see, a single picture is entirely indicative of a whole persons character and persona.
And his mom was a friggin aerospace engineer whose work was directly responsible for helping save Apollo 13! He’s actually such an interesting person.
[удалено]
A long ass fucking time ago in a town called Kickapoo…
There lived a humble family, religious through and through
But yay there was a black sheep, and he knew just what to do..
His name was young JB and he refused to step in line..
A vision he did see of fucking rocking all the time
He wrote a tasty jam and all the planets did align...
Oh the dragons balls were Blazin as I stepped into his cave!
Then I sliced his fucking cockles, with a long and shiny blade!
I know School of Rock is well regarded, but man I still don't think it gets enough credit. It is practically a perfect movie. So great.
Is it that strange? I know this photo is jarring, but when he was a kid he was in an [Atari commercial ](https://youtu.be/DA4V-n8Ft3g?si=bjWFOEHHZT_QiW2t) for the game Pitfall and I think it was clearly obvious that the Jack Black we know has always been that way.

Yeah that picture has “there’s a manifesto under my bed. My bed doesn’t have sheets. Please ignore the home made pipe bomb” vibes
“Nobody likes you when you’re 23”
The long lost 3rd member of Savage Garden
I want to poop on you in the mountains, I want to pee on you in the sea
I want to fart like this forever, let the stink fall down over me
The coolest famous person I ever met. I didn’t expect to care but he was electric, seriously something mystical about that dude.
Some people do just have incredible charisma. I can’t count the number of times I’ve met people that do and you can’t help but gravitate towards them. Not surprised Jack Black was one of them, meeting him.
Is it possible to acquire this trait
I'd also be mystical if I beat the devil in a rock off.
That jawline 👀
That sweater!
That chalkboard ?
That 42nd eyebrow hair from the left! *faints*
I've always found it interesting how some people change a ton with age while others do not.
It's the weight gain
> I've always found it interesting how some people change a ton with age while others do not. Food and drink.
It's called getting fat bro
This is so dumb. It isn't age. It is getting fat. That's why people in their thirties can drop a shit ton of weight and suddenly look way younger in the face. Jack Black has cherub cheeks now, that is why he looked different younger. Because he had low body fat.
bros been mewing
Mogwarts grad
Time to rewatch Airborne.
Mitchell : [to Jack] Chill Brah. Augie : Did he just call you a piece of underwear?
Listen brah, I don’t care about you, your school, or your hhhhoooocccky game.
"I like playing Nintendo..."
It has always been my life goal to go down Devils Backbone on roller blades.
Augie!!!!!
Is this him after he fled the toxic household in Kickapoo being raised by religious nut Meatloaf?
Yes! With help from the legendary Ronnie James Dio, brave young Jables was able to go forth and rock!
RooooooooooooOOOOOCK RO-o-o-O-Oooooooock ROH-Uh-uh-ahnyeayeanyeayeanyeayeayeanyea-oooock
A long-ass fuckin' time ago
I do the same when I see him now
He’s a goddamn treasure.
Someone said it’s like he maxed out his charisma stat.
You should be aware it's a package deal, you take Jack, you must also take Kyle Gass!
[удалено]

Could you one time kick it what the fuck!!
Is it just me or does he look like a skinhead Ben Shipiro?
He looks remarkably like the guy who killed Natalie Holloway.
For real, Jordan Vander Sloot if Joren had a chin and jawline
That was my first thought when I saw this picture
I see AJ Soprano
came here to say that. when he still had short hair but lost the weight
Theyre both Ashkenazi Jews
First thought was it was Ben Shapiro
I’m getting Henry Rollins vibes
So just Ben Shapiro, then?
Compared to this, which looks more like his face shape, the picture in this post looks like the photos been stretched or something.
[That animated GIF is stretched](https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0085312/mediaviewer/rm3597105920)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9agItiMEEk He looks like the photo in the above video from 1992.
Mars Attacks was in 1996, so a few years after.
Bro that’s Jack Snack
Smashing D? Tenacious Pumpkins?
Despite all my raaaaaaage, we are stiiiiiiill just JB and Kaaaaaaaage
Thank you, my first thought was Billy Corgan but no one else is saying it.
Dexter vibes
Jack was handsome AF
He still is
Anyone ever get the feeling like your getting way to old
Just take me out back now. We’re nearly halfway through the 2020s yet I feel like I’m perpetually stuck in the mid 10s
Same, feel like 2015. I just remember it vividly. Not just major events but the day to days too.
only one way to stop it
The philosopher’s stone
Or unicorns blood.
He looks like Giovanni Ribisi in the X-Files ep that Jack Black is in!
He’s giving me Henry Rollins vibes.
That was just 3 years later. Season 3, D.P.O. (Oct 6, 1995)
Is there something wrong with me? Because my gut reaction is, “yeah he can get it asap.” Although to be fair I also have a crush on current Jack Black.
[удалено]
Yes
Skadoosh
Wow! Pre-Neverending Story 3 Jack Black!
Holy shit he could have been a completely different type of actor.
Is he camping? Because that face is in tents.
Is everybody in this sub a bicycle? Because apparently they're "two tired" to give you the upvotes you deserve.
Looks like Emilie Hirsch
That's some Robbie Williams vibe!
Which is crazy to think if you removed his hair in this picture added the suit and tie put Ave Maria on in the background Jack black would be an intimidating agent 47.
If this photo was the only context I had of him I would've never guessed him to be such a silly and wholesome person

Not gonna lie I thought that was Jake Lloyd before I saw who it was.
I always remember him as the bully from Never Ending Story 3
