That's most assuredly it. To instantly turn on your lifelong friend and cocreator to save your individual income makes you a scumbag of the highest order. Your tolerance for loyalty and honour, or lack thereof, may vary.

Yeah, so you can probably give that a rest.
Protecting your brand and financial interests as an artist isn't particular to Jack Black, although doing it in the face of an off-colour joke referencing the assassination attempt of a Presidential candidate is. They plan to tour again, and by all accounts they still remain friends.
If anyone is to blame, it's Kyle Gass.

I don't know about that. Regardless of what you think of Trump it's not really a good look to say what Gas said. I don't like Trudeau but I sure as hell wouldn't be wishing harm to him.

Agreed.

I also sure as hell wouldnt go on stage and advocate for it to several thousand people.
I think its overblown, Gass and Black have friends forever, he's probably just trying to let the heat die down on that one.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Started watching some Jake Gyllenhaal show yesterday. Presumed Innocent or something.
Anyway, does this guy even know he's supposed to act and develop a character? He just wanders in as himself and says lines. He's just Jake the whole time versus being the character he's supposed to be portraying. It's beyond distracting. The whole time I'm just like, jake gyllenhall jake gyllenhall jake gyllenhall jake gyllenhall jake gyllenhall jake gyllenhall jake gyllenhall jake gyllenhall jake gyllenhall jake gyllenhall. Like, act, guy. Who hires this monkey? Is anybody an actual fan of this Saltine mother ####er?
I've liked him in a few things, I think he picks his roles fairly well.
Donnie Darko (obviously), The Covenant he was good, despite his co-star being much, much better, Nightcrawler and hell, I even enjoyed him in the Roadhouse re-make.
But his roles that he take are, as you noted, very subdued and very 'saltine' as you say.

I'd like to point out my 5 movies in my list are not necessarily the 5 best, just 5 films to get the ball rolling. There are 100's of films from the 90s that everyone needs to see once.

How much of it is personal profit vs not wanting to be on stage and tour with a guy that's probably going to the target of a lot of ire and potential backlash.
Personally if I was in a band and my band member was getting death threats for something he said...I wouldn't want to be on stage with him either and it would have nothing to do with financial impact to me but more of a "staying alive" impact.

There was a second Trump assassination attempt, after the Tenacious D comments. People are F-ing crazy right now.
Jack Black hired security guards for the rest of his time in Sydney:
Real or not, he believed his safety was at issue. Jack Black, who is by far the more famous of the two, probably got pummeled with threats from right wing trolls and got spooked.
We each have our own tolerance for safety, and celebrities already live in a non-safe world. I would think less of Black if he permanently abandons Tenacious D after this though.
