Jack Black Wants You to Watch Him, Control Him, and Create For Him

A couple months ago, we announced that Jack Black, Rob Schrab and Dan Harmon, and VH1 were teaming up to create a multimedia program called Acceptable TV, based on Schrab and Harmon's popular Channel 101 website. We now have a date for the premiere: March 23. We could either explain how the whole thing works again, or we could let Jables himself tell you in these amusing promo spots.

Schrab and Harmon, who recently wrote the Oscar-nominated Monster House and are now pulling various strings behind The Sarah Silverman Program, previously worked with Black on the popular unaired pilot Heat Vision and Jack (check your favorite illegal video site), and will work with him again in the CGI Kung Fu Panda. Black also has Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind and Noah Baumbach's Margot at the Wedding in post-production.

Slow News Day: Obscure Apocalyptic Comedies, Dilbert Movies, and Megabitches

ITEM: Ain't it Cool News is spreading the word on a new film called Santos, a Chilean superhero comedy about the end of the world, which happens to look absolutely incredible.

ITEM: Divisive director Chris Columbus has announced his plans to make a live-action feature based on Scott Adams' long-running Dilbert strip, which was previously made into a short-lived animated series featuring Daniel Stern and Chris Elliott. Wasn't The Drew Carey Show already a live-action Dilbert?

ITEM: The great Rob Schrab has posted a new video on his website called Megabitch Meltdown. It was written and directed by his significant other but his name is all over the whacked-out editing. Best wishes to Schrab at the Oscars tonight...
