‘To Be the Best’: Val Kilmer Takes a Bullet for Tenacious D

So this is what Val Kilmer and his luscious locks were doing hanging with Kyle Gass and Jack Black , AKA Tenacious D . In the newly released video ‘To Be the Best,’ Black and Gass find their fates have gone in different directions following the failure of their film Tenacious D: In the Pick of Destiny and only Kilmer, Dave Grohl, and Josh Groban can help mental patient Gass and “Hollywood Jack” reunite (for their new album, in stores May 15). Also on hand? Tim Robbins . Why not? The forthcoming Tenacious D album is entitled “Rize of the Fenix” and the lead single, ” Rize of the Fenix ,” starts out a little something like this: “When The Pick of Destiny was released it was a bomb/And all the critics said that The D was done…but one thing no one thought about was The D will rize again, just like the fenix…” So, yeah. Box office failure inspires creative rebirth! Or something. Let’s watch Kilmer eat it for Jack Black again. [via Cinemablend ]
