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:

I must admit it looks better than I thought it would be.

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.

Not sure I found the Stonehenge /Elton thing very funny.. bit contrived and wtf is he going there..

Same here!  Must put that right.

Fishy

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.
