      My recollection of the situation is hazy but my understanding is they basically did a performative distancing until the heat died down and they’re still good behind the scenes. My understanding is they even started performing together again.

          The reaction to the joke in Australia was extreme, with Australian federal senator Ralph Babet calling for the band to be deported.

          Proving once again that Australia is not a real country just a vassal state for the US

          Also fuck this libbed up clown. Trump incites so much hate and political violence.

          Yeah I’m a bit too naive maybe but even at the time I couldn’t imagine him actually throwing Kyle under the bus. So it always read to me like Jack was trying to make sure some MAGA psycho didn’t come shoot a bunch of people at one of their shows and he didn’t actually have a real problem with what Kyle said. I’m glad they are actually back performing together.

            Even the statement he released at the time sounded more like “I’m sorry he said it out loud, please don’t send neo-cons to shoot up our concerts.”

              That’s what it sounded like to me too. Like I said maybe I’m being naive and being too charitable but I don’t think I am.

      Yeah, he’s a bitchboy for sure. I was hoping people would finally turn on his annoying ass.

      Yup. Jack Black values being brand friendly over being against genocide. Jack Black is a piece of a shit after that event and how he sold Kyle out imo.

          Wishing the next hitter would get shot is not a bad thing. It was a joke wish he made while blowing out his birthday candles. More fucking people need to stand up and not bend over for these Nazis. Especially after how often they hide behind “it’s just a joke” themselves.

          Jack black has shown his hand and he’s far from the days of Tenacious D singing the government totally sucks.

          Jack black has been a negative selling point in movies since that first slop Jumanji remake. He’s just as bad as the Rock or Ryan Reynolds. Business and profits over creating anything of substance or artistic value.

            Something tells me you’re not the target demo for Jack Black movies.

              Yeah and he made that switch with Jumanji. Dove nose first into the corporate greed and started to milk money from parents.

              Going from making classics like: Tropic Thunder, School of Rock, King Kong, Be kind rewind, Shallow Hall and even the first two Kung Fu Pandas were good.

              Now it’s just: more Jumanji, Minecraft, borderlands, super Mario and milking every last drop out of Kung fu panda.
