Before Jack Black demolished people in Nacho Libre, he was sort of seen in Demolition Man. He looks the same now as he did when he was 23 in that 1993 movie.
For weeks, we have been hearing how Nick Jonas and Jack Black wrote a theme song for their movie Jumanji also starring The Rock, Karen Gillan and Kevin Hart. Today, they released the music video for it and well, I do not know what to say about it. So I will just go with what DJ posted on Instagram:
When @jackblack and @nickjonas told us that they wrote the theme song for #JUMANJI and even shot a music video… I thought ‘this is gonna be some Grammy-type sh!t’. Turns out it was the other kind of sh!t 💩. But honestly, as producer of the movie…. I kinda liked it. I mean I’m not gonna pull our @gunsnroses Welcome to the Jungle theme song, but this song ain’t complete dog sh!t either.”
OK, maybe I will go with what Gillan and Kart said because that is some elephant-size 💩 that is better serving as a theme song for Pitfall, the game that Black did a commercial for in the ’80s. And yet, like DJ, I kind of liked it too.
When it comes to how Jonas feels about this tune, he Tweeted, “I would certainly put this in some of my finest songwriting work. #proud #jumanji #iwritesongsitswhatido.” Considering how bad the Jonas Brothers songs are, he might be spot on. But is that really saying anything?
What did you think of Jumanji: Jumanji? Do you think they should stick with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle? Are you going to see the movie when it comes out on Wednesday?
The Rock and Jack Black were on The Late Late Show with Bryan Cranston (since James Corden is off enjoying his newborn daughter) and the fill-in host wanted to know about their first kisses. Before you think that the Breaking Bad star is living out his Roy Moore fantasies, he was asking because there is a supposedly scene in Jumaji with a first kiss.
DJ, of course, started young, like in second grade young. He described it as, “Went to the bathroom, got in the hallway, we had a little kiss go down, and I just remember she was a little aggressive…for my taste.” She might have been around 8 years old, but she knew she was going to be kissing People’s future Sexiest Man Alive, so can you blame her?
When it comes to Jack Black, his did not go as well. He went to French her and she locked her lips to tell him no way in hell that is ever going to happen. To this day, that first still haunts him. Little did that girl know what she turned down. A sweet compassionate man who would make her laugh all the time.
You know how Terry Crews is known for that awesome jumping pose on the red carpet? Turns out he is not the only one who can do it. Kevin Hart captured Jack Black doing that bitchin’ jump at the Jumanji premiere that only Crew and rockers can do. Not dissing Black, but he is not someone I thought I could do it. But I guess going to the School of Rock taught the Tenacious D singer a thing or 2!
