The greatest film in the history of films...


... is almost upon us. I'm talking about Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny.

I mean, where else will you find two batshit insane people (Jack Black and Kyle Gass) on an epic adventure which involves Satan, Meatloaf, Sasquatch, Ronnie James Dio and of course, the Pick of Destiny? Nowhere, that's where.

Having seen the first six minutes of the movie, and a music video (not posting any links, but you should know where to look), I hereby declare the Pick of Destiny as the best movie in the entire multiverse. Take that, Earth 616! Ehm, anyway.

Silliness aside, Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the two members of Tenacious D are indeed the bestest. They understand rock music on an almost profound level, and know well enough to take either it or themselves seriously, so the result is pure, unadulterated hilarity. Also, there can be no disputing that a movie is awesome when it includes a song with these lyrics:

"The wizard and the demon had a battle royal,
The demon almost killed him with an evil kapow,
But then he broke his tooth and thus the Demon said 'Ow!'"

Seriously, Citizen Kanewho?

That's it for this week, life's as crazy as ever lately, so yeah. In the D we Trust.
