I see what you did there...

Personally? I found it unwatchable - but I’ve watched it 3x, LOL!

My fave by those guys is, ‘Best In Show,’ hands down.

most comedy today follows their lead in styling. not the topic, but presentation style of spoofing real-life.

I loathe and despise Rob Reiner’s perverted politics.

Spinal Tap is hilarious...and pretty much the standard for mockumentaries.

Loved it.

I LOVE the Bass-Player-Stuck-In-The-Pod Bit.

LOL!

This movie sucks compared to The Rutles.

You’ve been added. Be forwarned, it tends to be several weeks of inactivity punctuated with manic bursts of posts.

One of the funniest movies ever made.
