Airman1270 0 #1 January 3, 2006 After not having seen the film for several years I watched it three times during the past few weeks. Incredibly funny! I noticed some things I hadn't yet picked up, such as the part where he's talking about having "armadillos in our trousers" and causing the girls to "run screaming toward the exits." "We had to apologize for him with our set; they were still booing him while we were on stage." "There seems to be a problem with the arrangements backstage...I don't know where to begin...I don't want THIS, I want large bread..." "I don't think there's a direct flight - you might have to fly into New York and get a flight to Milwaukee." "Listen, we'd love to chat but we have to go to the lobby and wait for the limo." Several of the guys from the church band got together New Year's eve at the band leader's house for beer, snacks, and festivities. We went downstairs to jam, and cut loose in ways we'd never do on Sunday morning. I opened the set by playing "Big Bottom," and afterward said I wouldn't have played that song if the ladies had been down there with us. One of the guys said to turn around; It seems his wife had been listening and I didn't realize it. "My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights; Big game is waiting there inside her tights..." We gather for prayer prior to the 10:30 service, then walk along a narrow corridor backstage to enter from the opposite side. Every once in a while one of us will pump a fist into the air and say "Hello Cleveland!" This is not your grandmother's church. Happy New Year. Cheers, Jon S.

ccowden 0 #2 January 3, 2006 Talk about bumcakes, my girls got 'em! One of my all time favorite movies! Greatly underappreciated in my opinion! Check out our Badfish website. It goes all the way to 11! After all, we do dub ourselves as "The Spinal Tap of Freefly!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #3 January 3, 2006 Every seen Fear of a Black Hat? It's like spinal tap, but with gangster rappers. Brilliant movie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #4 January 3, 2006 I have probably seen that movie at least 50 times. We showed it as a fundraiser when I was in college - saw it four times in one night. I'd sell tickets till it sold out then go in and watch it. "It's such a fine line between stupid and clever""There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Slowfaller 0 #6 January 4, 2006 QuoteFear of the Black Hat Brilliant indeed! "I'm just a human, just a human being" Another movie worth mentioning is "A Mighty Wind" Same style as the two but about folk music. And same actors that play in Spinal Tap are the Folksmen in A Mighty Wind. Absolutley hiliarious. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #7 January 4, 2006 Yeah, Christopher Guest has made many, many mockumentaries. These are just the ones about music. Also included (but not about music) are Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show. Honestly, his style seems to get pretty annoying after a while. Best to stick to one movie at a time, or even just one movie at all. But that's must me. P.S. Fear of a Black hat isn't a Christopher Guest movie.
