I'm gonna get me an oversized guitar, gain forty pounds and be the next D! (Part 1 of 2)
I'm a little late with this, but after I seeing Tenacious D's adorable, but somewhat depressing appearance on the Daily Show a couple nights ago, I figured I should say something about the Pick of Destiny...
It's not that bad. Actually, I thought it was pretty darn good. Granted, I've been in the D's thrall for many years now, but I still had a nagging fear that the movie would be completely underwhelming and serve only to undermine my love of the whole franchise. But I guess I should have had a little more faith in the Greatest Band on Earth. Granted, the movie pales in comparisson to the old-school HBO shorts, but as a ridiculous comedy it definitely holds its own. So... don't be afraid. Check it out.
And to any skeptics who may have heard some of the new songs, the accompanying album is considerably better as a movie soundtrack than a stand-alone piece of music. As it turns out, the line "deactivated lasers with my dick" wasn't a euphamism, like I initially thought.
