Movie Report: Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny


This is another movie where you either get it or you don't.

Now, I like Tenacious D, so I got it. Others might not be as cool as me. ;p

From a hysterical, over-the-top opening featuring Meatloaf as an abusive father, this flick rocks along as it alternatively worships and skewers rock gods and cliches.

Weird, wonderful and stuffed with cameos, this is possibly the only movie in existence that features both a dream sequence with Sasquatches (Sasquachi?) and a bit extolling the virtues of Satan. And if you're not familiar with Tenacious D, the music is surprisingly good -- KG and JB rock pretty hard even as their singing things like "Dude I really miss you."

And playing an electric guitar solo on a lute? Hardcore, yo!!

Well worth a watch.
