Title: Spinal Tap II

Well it's coming sometime soon and just pray it's going to be good. Surely it couldn't top the original movie though. A nice little trailer:

Was watching a recent interview with Reiner and he mentioned that in the preview screenings they had done both with audiences who knew the original and others that hadn't the new film had gone down very well..

You should - it's not just a sketch show, it has a lovely narrative arc.

Oh dear.. it's not very good tbh..some pretty lame jokes.. beating old jokes to death.. and wtf Elton and Macca added to it is questionable.. I must have watched the original a ton of times.. this one never again

Not going to watch this, original is excellent but I just don't see how anybody thought this could be a winner. Maybe its symptomatic of the current film industry.

Wasn't expecting much; perhaps that's why I quite enjoyed it. Not a patch on the first one of course

Hollywood director Rob Reiner and wife Michele found dead in LA home

Bit of a shock, "apparent homicide" apparently.
