Harry feels that TENACIOUS D IN THE PICK OF DESTINY could very well be so cool as to heal broken air conditioners spontaneously!

Published at:  Oct 27, 2006 12:55:33 AM CDT

It’s like having your nipple licked, bit and sucked upon. Like your ear being bit, licked, then moaned into. That's right, this movie is COCK FERTILIZER cuz mine grew an extra 18 inches and my fiance won't come near me till I calm way the fuck down. TENACIOUS D IN THE PICK OF DESTINY is the legend given form in the shape of the biggest most satisfying, rocking cock on Earth! Or simply… THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE!

Ok – I am sure there’s a lot of hyperbole in the above paragraph, but man… it’s like this, I didn’t want to see it tonight. The trailers have looked like something painfully retarded. It was like the “D” had their balls snip snipped, ya know? It felt like an “also ran” – like the BEE GEES in SGT PEPPERS, ya know? Imitators that wanted to rock, instead only going through the motions.

I know. How could the “D” let us down? They rule from their mighty mountain, but like all the ancient gods of Rock… they had their asstunes too. THIS IS NO ASSTUNE, this shit will blow your brainshit like the most explosively awesome crapper you’ve ever shit before. I’m talking about rocking so hard that your head goes through the contact high and you’ll want to flick on a lighter and nod your head in rhythmic worship. Because this movie kicks so much ass, it’s shoulders above the rest.

If you know your mighty rock opera films, then you’ll see echoes throughout. When you watch this film there’s a chance that you’ll think Ken Russell and Alan Parker… I found myself thinking of Laurel and Hardy, Hope and Crosby, Cheech and Chong and Jake & Elwood Blues. Only – filthier and way the hell more rocking!

I also kept thinking that Kyle Gass reminded me of Moriarty. The same hairline, that same obsession with college aged girls instead of thinking of “THE BAND”. Meanwhile, I with my laser focused mind and dedication to training, I would conquer for the good of “THE BAND”. Of course, I’m sure Moriarty sees it in the exact opposite point of view.

The film tells the origin… no, it lays out the legend with all the subtlety it warrants. Jack Black as J.B. is, of course, perfect. It was like the part was written only for him. And Kyle Gass is one sexy coed hunter. If NEW LINE ever goes through with their MILFHUNTER movie, casting Kyle Gass in the lead would be amazing. Then there’s all the cameos. Ben Stiller’s is the best… his legend of the pick is not to be missed. Though Tim Robbins strange damaged pick hunter is so absurdly bizarre and his last line – a classic.

The other cameos though – I really didn’t catch until I got home and looked em up on IMDB and was like… “Holy Shit – they rocked”

But all of the praise aside, there’s a tale to be told regarding this film. Something… something awesome.

The Argo, my car, for the past three weeks has had its air conditioner broken. Not only that, but the fan was out. Not just that, but the brakes were screaming. We’ve been meaning to take it into the shop, but the last few weeks have been hectic and it will be the other side of Halloween before it makes its scheduled mechanical hospital visit.

Now as I left the wonderful Paramount Theater, Father Geek and I decided to drive through the Campus area – and I noticed that I was really jazzed from the movie. You know that feeling where you begin associating your reality with the awesome vibe you got from a film.

Like flame adorned mud flaps on an old Ford Pinto, or the lightning in the night sky with no rain, or the trippy mushrooms on a campus pizzeria called THE MELLOW MUSHROOM, or the Music Notes and Haight Ashbury trippy flowers on the campus Blockbuster… or coeds in miniskirts screaming and the odd case of the “air music” from other cars being power chords from 70s and 80s metal gods.

We’d just made our way through campus, and we hit 35th and Guadelupe and there were police lights everywhere and in the middle of the intersection was this car. The entire engine block was in the driver’s seat and the doors had been sawed off and whatever being that was in that car, their body (hopefully alive) had been removed. As we sat in front at that long, oddly quiet – red light… and the tow truck was backing up to the wreckage… the light turned green and suddenly… The air conditioning turned on and the brake stopped making it’s loud obnoxious noise. And Dad and I looked at each other, and I said… “That’s the Power of ROCK!” and Dad laughed and said, “That is the POWER OF ROCK!” and we drove home commenting on the goofy healing powers of ROCK and how much that movie made us conscious of the power of ROCK to make the world seem cooler than it is… or maybe, it makes the world exactly as cool as it really is.

Now I don’t think that story has a damn thing to do with the film, but it has everything to do with it. Cuz this movie is all about the awesome power of rock, when wielded by awesome rockers!

    Yeah I figured that was the case. I am not sure why the specifically jumped out at me about the review. It just kind of stuck with me. I wasn't trying to stir anything up.

    As for the film:

    How was the soundtrack utilized in the film? Was there a musical aspect to the film? Complete with coordination and all of that? I have steered clear of hearing any of the new songs just so I can hear them the way they were meant to be heard.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    So, I hope Jack and Kyle they manage to play the comedy straight throughout the film? The best thing about the D's album is that they never blink. Jack Black is generally pretty good at that. Because what I always really hate about Ben Stiller is how he winks at the camera.

    didnt tell me anything apart from the fact Harry got a boner from this film which is an image that will haunt me for years. but then doesnt review films anymore just tells pointless stories about what happened before or after the film. Still going to see it, as the D do rule.

    Oh and Doom was a good film, I liked it because it was old school in its execution.

    Harry seems to go apeshit every time Jack comes out with another movie.. It's almost like he's attatched for PR on the guy's career. He did the same thing with Nacho Libre... and that movie sucked ass on toast. Hell, ALL Jack Blacks movies suck ass on toast, and 'Envy' was the dynamic Duo of suckdom... thank you Ben Stiller, for showing us 2 negatives DON'T make a positive. You know why all of Jack Black's 'preformances' seem phoned in? BECAUSE THEY ARE! He CAN'T act, and he isn't funny. Hell, the only GOOD thing about Tenacious D is Kyle Gass, and he's Dean Martin to Jack's Jerry Lewis. I need to go brush my teeth again to drive away he stench of having THOUGHT Jack Blacks name again... Seacrest OUT!

    it's beyond me how you expect anyone to take any of your reviews seriously after your orgasmic-ly positive review of Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. You clearly have a disorder that causes you to get sooo excited about seeing a brand new movie that you are constitutionally incapable of noticing when the movie is a piece of feces. I've not seen the Tenacious D movie yet but if I do, you can rest assured it won't be because of your enthusiastic (if mentally unsound) review.

    Saw this last night

    by strshp2rpr

    I saw this last night at the Virginia Film Festival. They said we were the "first" to see the movie, at least in its completed version, but I digress. Harry is right. The trailers did make it looked like this sucked, but in fact it was amazing. It was toned down a tad from the HBO series/shorts, but it was still dirty as hell (thankfully no butt babies or cum drinking). The music is great, although at times it was rather organic and kind of gradually came in than ended suddenly due to some on screen action, so I'm curious to see how it translates on the album. Everyone and anyone who was ever on the series is in the movie, and there are plenty of nods to their show and album. Plus like Harry said, there are a ton of other great cameos, some even unrecognizable. The guys are in peak form here, and they continue the vibe without dumbing it down or winking at the audience, which made me very happy (that was what I was most worried about after seeing the trailer). This is Jack the way we like him and want him, not in his exagerated but censored King Kong/Nacho Libre mode. PoD has the best dream sequence since Anchorman's Pleasuretown. The only complaint I have is I woud have liked to see a few titties and maybe an old song or two (they certainly hinted to this at times). Needless to say, my socks have been rocked off!

    Saw it reluctantly...

    by bdt

    didn't want to go. Not a big fan of big boys acting like little boys with over-the-top potty humor.
    But, somehow these guys really managed to make a VERY funny and entertaining movie. I enjoyed it because the humor came from making fun of themselves and their own characters in their own "reality"... it did not come at the expense of anyone/anything else. Little kid JB is hysterical. Trippy scene cracked me up. Even the totally gross result of JBs "push up training" ended up seeming funny in the context of this silly movie. Future generations will probably elevate the movie to cult worship status and I heard several lines that I imagine will repeated with a reverence usually reserved for Monty Python movies. I wish I could say one of my favs right now, I don't want to spoil the discovery for the fresh audience. Enjoy!

    I stopped reading this after the first paragraph. I really wanted to finish the review because I've been anticipating this movie since Jack and Kyle showed up at SDCC last year. But after a paragraph of Harry talking about his penis and nipple sucking I just couldn't go any further. Sorry Harry but you really need to calm the fuck down and keep your dirty sex talk for those quiet moments with just your lady friend.

    Time to hand the reins over to Mori

    by lando griffin

    At this point in time for the site Harry's appearances/postings of "reviews" and "news" are just cameo appearances. We understand you got a lot going on now with the MySpace page and the "fiancee". I know AICN is your child but you know what - children grow up and move out and shack up with a new significant other. Mori is this sites significant other. Mori obviously carries your approval - so why not just let him steer the ship? He can actually write a REVIEW of a film. Mori can set aside biases and assumptions and actually employs intellect, wit, objectivism and sometimes actual humor in his reviews. Your "reviews" are a laughing stock at this point Harry, think about it - is the problem actually you or perhaps the hundreds of relentless talkbackers mocking you? I'm not saying change who you are but how about letting a review be a reflection of the movie - the art - instead of how you grew up as a child or how the movie affected your cock. Look I am all for juvenile humor, references and swear words but not 100% of the time. And when was the last time that AICN actually had a legit big scoop? I can't remember. Set reports of the directors of cocks you polish do not count. If you were a true geek who paid his dues and made his way to the top you would know that us everyday Joe Talkback Geeks think name dropping is retarded. I don't believe anyone to actually put stock into anything you recommend or pan anymore. Your "reviews" write themselves and have become the subject of parody, rightfully.

    Jack Black= Meatloaf wannabe

    by sentient

    His take on C.D. single handedly fucked over King Kong for me. Especially his Dialog exchange on Skull Island. I couldn't stop thinking to myself- Who the fuck wrote this and thought it worked? The only interesting things he said in K.K. was during the dinner scene. ----
    Nacho. Haven't seen it....

    T.D.---- Well the trailer looks boring. I saw the music video and I thought it was shite. I usually like the T.D. stuff.

    In all honesty I think I found his soapy mirror. JB wants to be the new Meatloaf- he's got that I wannabe be Meat thing about him. The Meat should have played his father...

    I liked the T'D show on HBO. I liked the bit he K'G did on Crank Yankers. I loved that fucking MV that came out around LOTR TFOTR.

    Sometimes him and K.G. are some funny MF'ers, but this movie at least of what the trailers and plot says- Honestly it looks lamer than a mutherfucker.

    I want to be wrong but I got them Jedi Senses and rarely do they fail me. I got a bad fucking feeling about this..

    I've noticed when Harry posts in a forum, which is real cool, all the Harry-Haters creep out real slow to post spite-filled critiqes of his "performance" (give up the site, your reviews suck, you're fat) but they definately don't do it when the red-headed one might be actively posting for fear of banishment. That's real funny to watch. Harry and Mori and everygoddamnone else that contributes to this site write reviews based on their own unique style, and one can't help but have some respect for Harry's undeniable love for some films, which sometimes makes him lose all form of proper reviews (and English, like this sentence). That's exactly why I've been obsessively and compulsively checking this site anytime I'm at a computer for the goddamn past 7 years. And finally, a movie I'm actually interested in! Seriously Harry, Robert Randolph and the Family Band at Stubb's on Saturday. Be there or be a fool.

    Dear Harrold Knowles,

    by cyberbeavis1326

    Can you please refrain from talking about your sexual organs while reviewing movies? I don't need to think of a movie making you hard. No, not even pornos. This line of reviewing, shows you don't have any skill or journalism knowledge to write a review. I hate to really say this as much as I do love this site. You seem to pimp out the shittiest shit of movies at times. Please don't tell me you aren't paid off for doing so. I know you are being paid to plant good word of mouth. You're a site, you need money to run it, studios line your pockets. Business for Business, it's all about money and business. I'm not sure you really enjoyed this movie or you did like it and also were asked to write a dirty diatribe that fits into it's core audiences vocabulary. With that said, I might see this movie. Tenacious D and Jack Black have become kind of unfunny in the same vien of how "Will and Grace" is funny. Only because "people" say so.

Jack Black was funny for about two years about five years ago before the Tenacious D joke got old. The songs hold up as funny better than the sketches and his movie performances. And he should be beaten for his performance in King Kong. Harry? If you are out there, can you select reviews that refer more to movies and less to asses. Thanks.

    "I also kept thinking that Kyle Gass reminded me of Moriarty. The same hairline, that same obsession with college aged girls instead of thinking of “THE BAND”. Meanwhile, I with my laser focused mind and dedication to training, I would conquer for the good of “THE BAND”. Of course, I’m sure Moriarty sees it in the exact opposite point of view."

    5 minutes of funny, 90 minutes of yawn

    by sfaltern8

    Saw PoD last night in London, and boy did it suck. The first sequence rocked, and could have set the tone for a very funny send-up of rock cliches. Unfortunately, Jack and Kyle just decided that singing "Cock" and "Rock" and "Fuck" in songs would be enough to be funny. It's just not. There's just not enough wit or silliness for it to work. Long stretches go by without one laugh. Just shows how funny films like Borat are.

    by reelheed

    A Review of a review. Saying a film kicks ass and gave you wood doesn't really say much about the style and form of the film itself. Not so much a review of the film but rather a narration of your reaction to it as well as your girlfriends reaction to your reaction. However, you do gain marks for managing to mention how well the actors performed and that there were rocking cameos (even if you didn't realize at the time). C- (Could try harder)

    by detour

    Harry, you're on crack. I saw a preview last week in LA at the Mann 6. Yes, there are maybe three laughs in the whole thing. The story is just so damn feeble. The museum sequence, except for a narrow knee slide escape, was just lame. I had trouble caring about that fucking pick. You've seen Ben Stiller play that dumb zen character before- not funny. And the ending is anticlimactic, involving a lame ass fight with the devil. Relied too heavily on bad f/x, not enough on comedy. You're expecting one final killer concert scene but they don't deliver. script feels like a first draft written in a 5th grade creative writing class. sorry to report it's a total fucking disappointment!!!

    Jack Black - The Truth

    by mrbong

    Jack Black is mercifully bereft of any talent. Jack Black can destroy any reputation, no matter how good (ref : Peter Jackson, King Kong). Jack Black is just a big fat buy who can scowl and shout, creating the impression for simpletons that this is meant to be funny. Jack Black, if he has to be in a film, should be a background character (he was almost, and i do mean almost, bearable in High Fidelity). Jack Black at best would probably do an average job as a small, bit-part player on SNL, or even better a pisspoor SNL concept rip-off.

    Tedious Drivel - The Truth

    by mrbong

    Tenacious D are not in any way shape or form original or funny. Rock parody has been done before and done very, very well indeed in the form of Spinal Tap and Bad News. there is a bit on The Who's excellent Maximum R & B box set where Daltrey farts during a take of Behind Blue Eyes. this in itself is funnier than anything Tenacious D has done. i would wager that the rectal emissions from that fart, floating around somewhere in the atmosphere for the past 30+ years, still contain more talent than either Tenacious D or Jack Black.

    The D is not two seperate men

    by thestarkiller01

    Jack Black is Jack Black and Kyle Gass is Kyle Gass, but in true Bill & Ted style, together they are TENACIOUS D!!! Anybody going into this expecting a Jack Black movie will be disappointed because The D is a completely seperate entity. That being said, this movie was definitely geared toward the fans of the HBO series. At least, it's more enjoyable if you've seen the HBO series, anyway. The great thing about The D, however, is that when you strip away the funny lyrics, you're still left with some great music. These two guys rock harder than a lot of the newer bands out there that have a full rythim section and electric guitars; AND THEY DO IT ACCOUSTIC!!! Just remember, "it doesn't matter if it is good. It only matters if it rocks. And the main thing they're here to do is rock your socks off". And rock it does.

    sidenote: notice the lack of grammatical errors in this post. It's partly because of this wonderful new invention called a BACKSPACE key. I recommend some of you (not all, but some) look into it. Thank you, drive through.
