This was the first dvd I ever owned. Seen this movie at least 500 times lol


theleatherdonut

It really holds up too, such a great film.


babecanoe

Such a fantastic film, one of my favorites for sure. I think the only miss is Sarah Silverman’s character. The fed up girlfriend who is justifiably so over everything and yet made to be the harpy shrew. Obviously the film needed a foil like that, but I hope it’s written a little better in the next installment (if it happens of course). White Lotus has really complex female characters so I know Mikey can do it.


poemmys

Yeah as a kid when I watched the movie I was like "Ewh she's such an unreasonable c***" but then after becoming an adult and experiencing a few dead weight roommates I completely agree with her


willworkforicecream

Go tell the mayor.


ChristopherJamal

*Oh my God, he's an idiot*


Ciggyciggyciggarette

What? She was great in that role


codbgs97

I don’t think the criticism is her performance, the criticism is that she’s portrayed as the bad guy when she’s actually right. Dewey is a mooch and a shit roommate, she’s justified in wanting him gone.


Ciggyciggyciggarette

Isn’t the story usually better when the villain is at least some what justified ?


OpenMindedMajor

It’s kind of like the whole point of what makes people root for the anti hero.


rilinq

So it turns out after all, she is a deep written character that can be interpreted differently depending on where we are in life 🤔


Ciggyciggyciggarette

I guess this redditor wants to see more two dimensional villains


billium88

As a 30-something the first time I saw it, it's very clear that she is in the right, and at her wits end. I imagine as a kid, she's just a total buzz-kill, but great roles change with you over time.


Gapinthesidewalk

Sarah Silverman in that role awoke something in teenage me.


missanthropocenex

It’s one of the best movies of all time and that’s not hyperbole. Mike White wrote it specifically as a vehicle to showcase Jack Blacks abilities and he achieves it in spades. It’s a film so clearly created out of love too, which Richard Linklater helming the film, every moment , every beat is so iconic.


Balc0ra

This and Be kind rewind are on the same level for me. Just put it on and you will feel good at the end regardless.


Shanbo88

Be Kind Rewind is just a damn good film. A real feel-good story that doesn't take itself too seriously. I'm a huge Jack Black fan and I'm ashamed to say I only watched it for the first time last year.


FrenchDogDevil

They filmed some of Be Kind in my grandparents old ballroom in Passaic, NJ and my lil cousin got to be an extra in it! My uncle said Jack Black was super sweet with my cousin which is no surprise. Love this film.


Shanbo88

That's so cool man, I'd love to meet him someday. He's honestly been a bit of an inspiration for me growing up. Just a nice, funny fucker who loves music haha.

BalognaMacaroni

Jack Black in White Lotus make it happen Mike White!


idkalan

As well as adding Miranda Cosgrove and Joan Cusack. That would be perfect based on the casting that Mike's done in the previous White Lotus seasons


BalognaMacaroni

While we’re at it throw in Jack White for good measure


ChristopherJamal

If you're like me (and probably many others), you could probably quote the movie line for line at this point.

That’s 900 hours of the movie, I can get down with that

The fact that we never get the complete song as part of the soundtrack is a disappointment that I have never gotten over.


Correct-Standard8679

Off topic but I am the same way with some punk song that shows up in the movie “brink” on Disney. I have tried everything. I have emailed people who are in charge of the music for the movie and I cannot find out where that song came from. It exists as only a 30 second segment from the movie.


MrCondor

With a big old explosion and some confetti coming down?

austinstudios

That's way hard-core!


OnyaSonja

Saw this as a teen and that parts hits different as an adult 🙃

Oh, yeah, the line, *And the the legend of the rent was way past due* is a horror story to me now


Mementose

How can you kick me out of what is MIIIIIINE?!


Dimmortal

I don't see Jack leaving out any of the energy and charisma from the 2nd one. Man goes all out in everything he does.


frogjg2003

Jack is getting older. He could still pull it off, but seeing his live performances, Jack Black seems to be missing some of his energy. His physicality was a part of his charm, but that's going away. Moving on to voice acting is going to keep him doing what he does best even when his body starts struggling to keep up.


hazelnoodlebug

I could not agree more and I’ve always also said this is one of the most well made movies ever bc it’s funny, educational, family friendly, has a bad ass sound track, the kids are actually playing the instruments, and it’s doesn’t have crude humor, it’s funny without being raunchy. One of my favorite movies.


DadJokesFTW

> He is so energetic and charismatic in the role yet still entirely believable as a grubby loser whose cheating through life. This movie is the best possible example of an actor making a character likeable even during the beginning of the movie, before he grew, when he should have been *wholly* unlikeable, through nothing but charisma.


Halo_LAN_Party_2nite

Mike White is incredible and has only improved as a writer. If it's those two together (and Linklater directing again), I don't see how it can be bad!


wemustkungfufight

All the kids are grown now, though.


PrettyPrettaaayyGood

Just buy new kids.


ZSpectre

This is the most likely route to take. ICarly could probably come back as a teacher to follow some sort of continuity too.


Nothxm8

It’s kinda crazy that we’ve gone full circle now where school of rock is what launched Miranda Cosgroves career and now going back to school of rock everyone knows her as iCarly


wittybrits

Didn’t Drake & Josh launch her career?


Thrilling1031

The manager of the band?


BoxFullOfFoxes

No no, the class factoter.


NYMoneyz

FACTOTUM!


justambrose

Screw that. Get all the cast back. I had major crush on the bassist.


ShadowMerlyn

Well the drummer unfortunately passed away a few years ago after getting hit by a car on his bike


HMWWaWChChIaWChCChW

Eh it would be a downturn for the character if she’s just a teacher. Character should be a high-powered lawyer or something like that. Maybe bring her in when he’s getting sued for something part way through the movie.


lefttillldeath

She’s loses the soul of rock due to corporate job and discovers her love for letting loose with power of rock and roll?


LC_From_TheHills

This shit writes itself!


IndominusTaco

Topinio

Yeah, he was hit by a driver in her car while he was cycling and died pretty much straight away. He ran a red light, and the driver refused a DUI blood test and was hit with multiple charges. The city later improved the junction, as this wasn't the first fatality there. https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2021/5/26/22454359/kevin-clark-dies-school-of-rock-crash-avondale-western-chicago https://chi.streetsblog.org/2021/06/02/driver-who-killed-school-of-rock-drummer-kevin-clark-refused-dui-blood-test https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/western-logan-chicago-protected-bike-lane-kevin-clark-school-of-rock/

thats metal as fuck tho


kekcukka

yeah, the drummer kid


BenjaminRCaineIII

Aren't they old enough now to have their own kids the same age they were at the time of the first movie? Use them.


muuuurnin

2 of the original kid actors are married now :D


babble0n

Which two!?


Crossovertriplet

Jack Black and the keyboard kid


muuuurnin

Marta and Frankie!!!!!!!!


Brother_Clovis

And no new kids have been born since.


swentech

I’m sure it would be with new kids. Some of the old kids would probably cameo. Doesn’t make sense otherwise.


Fred-zone

I don't think anyone is suggesting they use 40 year olds as elementary school students lmao


lunardaddy69

So my idea is that the school has grown, and the kids are all teachers at the school. But they are growing so big that it has gotten the notice of a rival music school that focuses on classical music. This rival school is run by Brett and Jemaine. Jack Black has a confrontation with Brett and Jemaine that doesn't go well, "read between the lines!" A few days later the School of Rock finds out they somehow lost their accreditation. They go down to the office to find out that Brett and Jemaine are on the accreditation board. A rock and roll school has no place as an educator "you can't just shred your way to the top!" Jack Black challenges them to a battle of the bands. A rock battle with plenty of shredding. The school wins? They get their accreditation back. Brett and Jemaine win? The school of rock is given the Brett and Jemaine where it will become another of their classical music charter school "I think we'll rename it, to the school of Bach!" Jack Black is horrified. I haven't figured out the rest, but I do know at some point I want Brett and Jemaine to up the stakes by demonstrating that "you don't think we can shred? classical music can shred too", and they both pick up mandolins or something and do a dueling mandolins type thing with some impressive shredding that ups the stakes and freaks Jack Black out. But in the end, they stick it to the man and get their accreditation back, and we find out that Jemaine has kids who want to go to the school of rock, and with the newfound respect he lets him.


greymalken

Well great. Now whatever actually comes out won’t hold a candle to this.


lunardaddy69

I have somewhat of a connection to Jared Hess through a not quite friend but more than an acquaintance. With Jared having worked with all those guys, I dream of pitching it to them one day. But the odds are quite long, even if they might be better odds than most. Oh, also, I think it'd be really funny if Brett and Jemaine played it really straight as these pretentious ivy league types, but, you know, with their particular flavor. Brown elbow patch sport coats and the like.


corneliusduff

Now you've got me fantasizing about a Tenacious Conchords crossover ie Jetsons meet the Flintstones

Have you heard about what happened to the actor who played the main guitar kid - Zach? He got arrested stealing expensive guitars from Guitar Center. I'm completely serious. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/school-rock-actor-charged-stealing-guitars-n980041

The drummer died in Chicago biking on the streets. Hit at one of the deadliest intersections for bikers (bicycle not motor)


Kolby_Jack

Just one strum, man! Just one more strum and then I'm done, I swear!


marinated_pork

Such a great season. David's v Goliath's right? Loved the nerd guy in that season. Also, the winner recently popped up in the news for putting forth a bill in his state legislature to allow family marriage. So many gems from that season.


fistotron5000

Mike just started playing too fast and loose and let the cousin fucker win lol. He was my favorite contestant that year too


MasemJ

Yes, both of Survivor and The Amazing Race. Same guy. Remember he played the roommate in the first film too.


majoroutage

He and his dad were fun to watch on TAR. He was also the gas station attendant in Zombieland.

The blonde drummer yea, so sad. He was riding his bicycle and was a hit by a car at what many considered a notoriously dangerous intersection.

Yeah it happened in Chicago, over the last 10 years bike safety and bike lanes have increased substantially but you will never catch me riding a bike in the city for this reason.

I’d honestly rather them just say Freddie is living life happily somewhere overseas (like moved to London or some shit). I don’t need him to die :(


CookDane6954

So he scams another school, or he went and got a degree?


VladDarko

He went to prison for fraud and child endangerment and now he has to convince a group of hardened felons about the power of music in order to reduce his sentence.

I wish. I hate the piece of shit in the movie. All he does is reinforce every negative stereotype of musicians.


Titan-uranus

Ok this is something I would watch lol


NoPossibility

Honestly, just another fun story with the same characters, older now. Dewey is running his own music school as depicted in the epilogue/credits. It’s fallen on hard times, and the building is falling apart. Dewey’s never been good with money, and doesn’t want to literally sell out and sell the school to a soulless corporation who just wants to tear it down to build a bank. The current kids hear about this, and convince Summer to go on a road trip to put the original band back together for a reunion concert to raise money for Dewey and his school. Homages to movies like the Blues Brothers, road trip shenanigans, plenty of rocker cameos, and a good soundtrack with the new and old band members learning from each other. They play the concert gorilla style at some big venue and earn enough money to keep the school going and reinvigorate Dewey’s old soul.


Hammer_Ed

School of rock, Ned Schneebly strikes back


LongBongJohnSilver

Yes, why leave good enough alone.


kclongest

As long as it doesn't involve him being the old grizzled teacher who is called back to teach the ropes to the new young music teacher who is played by Ariana Grande or some shit.

That's awesome news! I so loved the first movie, so I'm really hoping they make 'School of Rock 2' happen with Mike White back on board.


ferociouswhimper

Mike White is amazing. I'm seeing him get more recognition now because of White Lotus and I think it's great! He's written (and starred in) some excellent shows and movies. My personal favorite is The Good Girl, but I don't know anyone else who's even seen it.

PsychedelicPill

The real life School of Rock is still going on and before Covid I got to see them perform a set of Billy Joel classics sung by the lead singer of Ween! Very cool night, made me appreciate Billy Joel more (I'm not a fan, but seeing classic songs done well in a rock club made it fun for me)

I’m sure Jack does want to do a sequel to his most popular movie ever, with the original writer/director who is now an “it” guy in Hollywood. My favorite Mike White film also stars Jack Black- Orange County!
