All Things Jack Black

The requisite promotional onslaught for Jack Black’s new film, Nacho Libre (opening today and reviewed by a certain buck-toothed cult hero in The Stranger here), brought to my attention the fact that he and his wife just had a baby. I must be out of touch, because I didn’t even know he had gotten married, I thought he was still dating this foxy and funny lady. Anyway, investigating all these developments led me to this delightful interview with Black in The Believer, where he and Lemony Snicket author Daniel Handler discuss wedding etiquette, the Kronos Quartet, Kurt Vonnegut, and Jesus. Enjoy.

Confidential to Megan Seling: Little lady, the fact that you haven’t viewed Tenacious D: The Complete Masterworks is a cardinal sin. I don’t give a rat’s ass about the live stuff, but the HBO skits are absolutely priceless. Get thee to Rain City Video and make amends.
