At the MTV Movie Awards a few weeks back, Jack Black came wearing a huge gash across his neck. But you'll want to direct your attention below the wound -- no, not to the pantaloons -- to Black's slightly more subtle statement: a "Brütal Legend" tee. We're not sure how many
casual viewers have attempted to google the term, only to be stifled by the key command for an umlaut, but those of us attuned to Black's sense of style certainly appreciate the nod to Tim Schafer's seemingly in limbo project, for which Black lends his vocals. When questioned about his getup, Black responded, "I just wanted to represent. I do this video game
Brütal Legend. It's coming someday."
MTV Multiplayer followed up with Sierra on Black's impromptu plug, reporting that the publisher was, obviously, grateful for the nationally televised marketing. Still, Sierra declined to elaborate on Black's vague promise, saying only, "we are excited to reveal more details regarding our plans for
Brütal Legend very soon."

The game looks interesting, I just really hope they don't let in any of this guy's music... He's a decent actor most of the time, but that "music" is unbearable.

Well duh! That's because the greatest song in the world comes along once every hundred thousand years or so when the moon doth shine and the moon doth glow.

Keep in mind that his music isn't really supposed to be taken seriously. It's more in the vein of Richard Cheese or even Weird Al - good for a laugh, but not something you'd blast with your car windows down.
However, Kyle Gass is an excellent guitarist. So don't you dare go badmouthing him.
Paulmichael @ Jun 10th 2008 8:41PM
Yeah, all the more reason I personally don't like it. Richard Cheese, Weird Al, etc...I never really understood the reason for "joke" songs/bands, save of course for Still Alive, but that was in proper context. Eh w/e if they do include his music, if 2.40 is out on the PS3 by then I'll just play my own music.

I beg to differ, blasting Weird Al is fucking awesome.

You're probably one of those guys that tells people who love Rock Band/Guitar Hero to go play a real guitar.
Lone Starr @ Jun 10th 2008 8:26PM
Pantaloons? If anything it would be *her* boobs.
Or pantapoon.
I'm done.
RastamanD @ Jun 11th 2008 1:07AM

On the Mac it's option-U -> U and option-U -> shift-U.

What will be released first:
Brutal Legend
or
Duke Nukem Forever
??
Ranko @ Jun 10th 2008 10:23PM
Battletoads.

On the subject of DNF, I think that should be Uwe Boll's next film. That way, he'll never get anything out again.
The world would then be safe.
serotoninzero @ Jun 11th 2008 12:51AM
I hope to see this game soon.
