One of the finest movies ever made. Wouldn’t think Shearer or Guest need the cash, but of course that probably means they can afford good lawyers and clear this up for the rest of the cast.
The movie that taught me how to take my amp up to 11..
I’m not a big fan of Rob Reiner but Spinal Tap is a fun movie that still makes me smile decades later.
“Money talks and bullshit walks!”
Profits are hidden on EVERY movie.
Ping.
Hollywood profits? You are dealing with corporate accounting which makes Congress look clean. If a movie makes money, rather than shifting all possible profits get routed to various other divisions and subsiaries, then the accountants have failed. If you ever work for a movie, count on nothing other than the wekly paychecks you have already received.
None.
None more black.
I’m surprised actors such as Rob Reiner were part of a deal that didn’t pay off royalties in a proper manner. As the son of Mr. Sit-Com., Carl Reiner, you’d think Rob would know to hire a good money manager. Sometimes, when you do a lot of different jobs, you just don’t pay close attention to getting all the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed.
Shark sandwich? More like Sh** sandwich.
I got into an argument years ago with a friend who insisted Spinal Tap was a real band.
The Spinal Tap members have produced several great “mockumentaries”, such as “Best in Show”, “A Mighty Wind”, and “Waiting for Guffman.”
Sure, all the Spinal Tap guitarists want their piece of the action, but as usual, nobody’s looking out for the drummers.
Suing to recover unpaid royalties? Who says they’re not a “real” rock band?
Stop wasting my time
You know what I want
You know what I need
Or maybe you don’t
Do I have to come right flat out and tell you everything?
Gimme some money, gimme some money
I’m nobody’s fool
I’m nobody’s clown
I’m treating you cool
I’m putting you down
But baby I don’t intend to leave empty handed
Gimme some money, gimme some money
Oh yeah! Go Nigel, Go!
Gimme some money, gimme some money
Gimme some money, gimme some money
Don’t get me wrong (Gimme some money, gimme some money)
Try getting me right (Gimme some money, gimme some money)
Your face is okay
But your purse is too tight (Gimme some money, gimme some money)
I’m looking for pound notes, loose change, bad checks, anything
Gimme some money, gimme some money
Gimme some money, gimme some money
Gimme some money, gimme some money
Gimme some money, gimme some money
Gimme some money, gimme some money
Gimme some money, gimme some money
You’d think the drummers’ families would get a piece of the action as well. Hmmm.
