How much coolness does Jack Black have left?

Jack Black became cool in the last five minutes of High Fidelity, singing "Let's Get it On."

It was then we heard about Tenacious D, and OH MY GOD, he was a singer all along!

This was followed by School of Rock: very cool.

It started to go bad with Macho Libre.

His Tenacious D performance on "Saturday Night Live": Not good. In point of fact, if you're going to sing a song about Heavy Metal that simply persuades me to look for my Led Zeppelin tapes in preference to you . . . well, what good are you?

Now, his next damn movie.

Jack Black is squandering his coolness faster than anyone since Chevy Chase.

I was just thinking the same thing about Black the other day. He's the PERFECT Co-Star but the movie (School of Rock) has to be just prefect for him to be the front guy.

In fact, he was a co-star in a B-type movie called Saving Silverman. He was perfect.

I was trying to think of another number 2 guy in the movies he reminds me of from the past. Still thinking....... His TV counterpart might be somebody like Johnny Fever on WKRP or obviously Michael Richards.
