I love Spinal Tap; thanks for sharing.  ------------- "Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself" (The Prisoner, 1967). |

Normally I'd be inclined to dismiss this as a pointless cash-in but the description is making me cautiously optimistic. I guess I'll withhold judgment until it inevitably compels me to watch it like a siren's call ------------- https://mirasnelder.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow - Freelance composer, accepting commissions | https://mirasnelder.bandcamp.com/album/altered-acuity" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp page |

At this point the whole thing may be a put-on--- but if not, I will be there just like I was in '84 for the first one. I'd be surprised if they don't call it Spinal Tap 11: It Goes to Eleven , or Spinal Tap Mark 2: Our New Direction (maybe 'New Erection', knowing them). ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

Hi, I'm not sure it can survive and do well ... as the Internet has destroyed a lot of the things that were neat at the time ... words were still important, and it had funny stuff in it, and the visualization was (mostly) a take on American television, and its lack of personality ... or maybe just another continuous flow of cardboard characters. I don't think that the Internet audience, will find it funny .... as we can see here on this site ... the incredible amount of different ideas, and tastes, will likely make that film not go very far ... it might make its budget (if it gets made) simply by the folks that watched and liked the earlier stuff ... but I'm not sure it can stand up to today's audience very well ... although I, honestly, would hope that it makes it ... we need a comedy group on the telly, and ears, to come alive and start nagging all the politics and garbage out there, but simply watching some of the folks advertised from comedy clubs ... is rather pathetic ... that's funny? ... and you already know that the applause sign went on for the audience ... I can see the folks on Saturday Night Bathroom, say about that guy talking about marriage ... go to sleep! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

| Never a big fan of the original (the British film Strange Fruit appealed to me a lot more as far as spoofy rock band films go and in fact the synopsis for this sequel is very similar to that film by the sound of it) but it was always amusing that just about every rock band from the seventies thought it was based on them (officially it was based on a roadie's experiences touring with the British heavy metal band Saxon I believe). The real things that happened back in the late sixties and early seventies were far more out there! |

^ I think that film was Still Crazy--- clearly a variation of Spinal Tap in almost every way. In many ways, Tap was an American spoof of the idiocy & delusional indulgences of the British heavy rock scene in the late '70s/early 80s. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.
