Spinal Tap 2 ...

[fleabag]

I reckon its gonna be tough to match the original,  but Reiner, McKean, Guest and Shearer are geniuses, so it might be a monster

I really hope it's good. As you say - some very talented people.

 

Fingers crossed and all that!

[fleabag]

Agreed m8 !

 

Hope its epic  👍

[MacDaddy]

It's worrying.

 

Blues Brothers 2 anyone?

[wateroftyne]

I'm not worried. Everything this lot do is great (see also A Mighty Wind, Bet in Show).

[fleabag]

No Sir Denis Eton-Hogg in  part 2, sadly

Or Ian Faith, but it’s probably for the best.

All the celebrity musicians are lining up to appear in it, which worries me. I'm pretty sure most of them couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag.

[Norris]

Very few "2" films are as good as the "1", and most are completely dreadful. I just hope it's a bit more Airplane and less Highlander in that respect. I do have a horrible feeling it's going to blight my favourite ever film though

Only found out recently that Christopher Guest is a Hereditary Peer! Yes, 'Nigel Tufnel' is actually the 5th Baron Haden-Guest. So there you go!

I enjoyed Blues Brothers 2000. Am I the only one?

No, I did too.

If there's anyone I trust to do a worthy sequel, it's these guys. They'd have called a halt if it didn't feel of the highest quality.

 

They have nothing to prove, and - as far as I'm aware - no alimony to pay.

There's a fine line between stupid and clever

[dave_bass5]

Loved the first film but I can't imagine this will be much. 

I listened to an interview with Derek Smalls (Shearer stayed in character the whole time) on the Rockonteurs  recently. I didnt laugh once which was disappointing. 

[ProjeKtWEREWOLF]

I probably won't even bother with the sequel. This is Spinal Tap has a special place in my heart, and I just don't think anyone involved is capable of making anything genuinely *good* or funny anymore.   

[dave_bass5]

Or even allowed to 😎

It could go either way IMO,  but time will tell.  Its a hard act to follow.

I thought it was great also.

As long as they don't start blowing up police cars

Jamie Lee Curtis' official title is Lady Haden-Guest

It has a charm. It’s not a patch on the original…but I watch it about once a year 

[ProjeKtWEREWOLF]

I saw the trailer for Spinal Tap 2 yesterday.  I *really* want to like it, and it definitely has a few funny parts. I'm fairly certain that it won't be good though. I hope to be proven wrong.
