Christopher Guest is legitimately my favorite filmmaker of all time. He put the mockumentary genre on the map and is still the undisputed king.
I am also a professional musician who loves "Spinal Tap" as both a comedy and a tragedy.
I am SO f***ING EXCITED.

Feels like it'll be very hard for this to rise to the occasion, and decades-later comedy sequels are almost universally terrible, but hey, no harm in trying.

I'm hesitant about this.
I will also try to see it as soon as it's released.

It could be good. I have my doubts. Since 1984, tons of things have come and gone, I’m worried they’ll lean too heavily into, “Isn’t it wacky they don’t get streaming?!”
I’m also not sure how much of a shit Harry Shearer gives about anything anymore. He wanted to quit the Simpsons because he decided it wasn’t worth the trouble, which amounted to him leaving his lines on an answering machine. That was too much for him.
And now, everyone gets the joke. Can it work again?

I don't know how I feel about this. The original is excellent and just as funny today as it was when it was released. It's one of those films that never fails to make me laugh, even though I know every scene off by heart. Consider me cautiously optimistic.

I’ll bet Nigel’s guitar is still sustaining that note.

Hopefully this will break Reiner's recent streak of box office duds.

As long as the olives in the backstage arrangements all have little guys in them, it won't be a complete catastrophe.

I mean, it's not like they haven't reunited at all for live events or such in the interim, so honestly it's not that far removed from legit bands that were broken up for years and then reunited decades later, whether from actually making up with one another or just for the dollar signs. Plus Spinal Tap has always been kind of in their own sort of pseudo-kayfabe gray area of method acting a legit band essentially, so if they just take it very improvisationally and roll with it vs trying to overly script it, I think it'll be fine.
Like, I'm seeing billboards around town for a Styx/Speedwagon/Loverboy concert and Spinal Tap is effectively of that same rock generation (well maybe of the first two) so them belatedly reuniting isn't too far off real life really.
