Behind the Wigs: The Return of Spinal Tap
Behind the Wigs: The Return of Spinal Tap http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/26425682/behind_the_wigs_the_return_of_spinal_tap This many years later, This Is Spinal Tap still attracts new fans. Is there something eternal about the slapstick that can exist in a rock band? Shearer: There is something eternal about the striving of the mediocre. You root for them despite your better judgment. There's something timeless about that story. You could have beaten it into the ground. Shearer: And we still might. McKean: Give us time. It's only been 25 years. just rented and watched "best in show" again, after several years.... just too funny, seeing nigel as a country boy from north carolina, with his bloodhound....

yea, kinda. but add to it the humiliation, the arrogance and the downright insane, i only ever watch it when they show all the crackers that have no idea how bad they are.

I've never seen a single minute of it, or even a second, AFAIK. Sounds like a freak show. I don't think I could watch that without curling toes.
I'm a perfectionist, and perfect is a skinned knee.

ORIGINAL: bapu I own: Spinal Tap Waiting for Guffman Best In Show A Mighty Wind Don't own: For Your Considerstion Also own (as a cst member): The Princess Bride A Few Good Men Funny, Funny Man. I met one of his cast (fairly well known star) and was told that CG really lets his cast improvise (no real script, per se).

i think that one fact (improv) is the strongest part of the whole thing.. these guys work as a team, so well, but it's the improv where the heart of the thing really is.

Yeah most people don't realize it's mostly unscripted, and in only a few takes. They edit it forever, though.

AHhhh Spinal tap, couldn't believe this movie when i first saw it many years ago, Just flicking channels on the TV late at night and there it was in all its glory, I thought what in God's name is this. made me laugh for weeks. At first i thought they were serious, but then thought these guys cant be serious. Great movie cant wait to see the next one. cheers

Their unwigged tour comes to my city in mid May - alredy bought tickets. Guest is not only hilarious, but actually writes quality tunes (depite being parody; there's quality there, especially in the later bits - A Mighty Wind has a couple knockout tunes, for example).
