Spinal Tap revisited

That really is taking pickiness to 11.

I like that she used it as a line of demarcation. But of course, it’s such a fine line between clever and stupid.

Any, she thinks if you don’t think ST is funny, you have an underdeveloped sense of of humo(u)r in her eyes. And she’s right.

“Fuckin’ limeys.”

Original film is an absolute work of genius. Hopefully they won't fuck it up.

Should’ve recorded the album in doubley though.

This is Spinal Tap

Wanted to watch it with the kids but not sure how they'd take it given its age.

I don't think I've seen anything so consistently funny as this film.

Any mis measuring situation I find myself in I always refer to the stonehenge scene....

Good news and bad news. It seems there will be a follow up to "This is Spinal Tap" with most of the original band. Cinema release in 2024.

Sadly, it seems that the drummer in the original film, Ric Parnell, has passed away but the Guardian did not provide details of the circumstances. However, we must assume that he choked on somebody's vomit or spontaneously combusted.

The drummer died?

The drummer died?

In the movie, yes. But they brought him back to life via his "identical twin" for the post-film performances.

 

[Idesofmarch69]

The drummer died?

They're showing the film as a tribute to Rick Parnell, the actor who played drummer, Mick Shrimpton, in the film.
