This movie had no business being as good as it was. Go watch it. Noted #… technically this scene passes the bechdel tesr#which is WILD unless youve watched the movie (via @swiggity-swexual-i-am-asexual) If Jack Black doesn’t get an Oscar nom for this, it is proof that sf/action movies are being discriminated against, because he was FLAWLESS as a teenage girl, absolutely invisible behind his character, and that deserves massive recognition of his awesomeness. (I also appreciate the writing which had both girls calling each other out on perceived issues, and both girls acknowledging the fairness of those call-outs and subsequently valuing each other as equals and becoming buds. No girl-fights here, thank you.) This movie was far more amazing than it should have been, and I’m pretty sure that was at least 90% because the cast was so fantastic. Not once in the entire film did I forget Jack Black was a teenage girl. It was one of the most brilliant performances I have ever seen and I still can’t believe I’m saying that about Jack Black in Jumanji II. Is it tropey as hell? Yes. Do they subvert some of the tropes some of the time? Heck yes. Did they know they were going to be tropey as hell and made it the best possible versions of the tropes when they weren’t subverting them? Hell fucking yes. For some reason people like to pretend Jack Black isn’t one of the best actors of our generation.Like maybe it’s because he tends to take goofier rolls or whatever, but when he gets in character, he STAYS in character. Unironically this is one of my favorite films ever -- source link
