I will not sit idly by while Jack Black is besmirched in this manner!

The man is a national treasure.

He kinda besmirched himself by immediately throwing KG under the bus the way he did. I've been a fan for decades now to the point that I don't even realize I'm quoting them sometimes...but my respect for JB definitely took a hit there and I have to think now about how much of his public image has been carefully crafted by PR agencies over the years.

Calling JB less funny than CF is not much of an insult, as CF was a legend. And though JB is also a legend, he is both a comedian and a musician, whereas CF was not a musician (as far as I know).

Now I'm reading JB and CF as James Bond and Captain Falcon
