I finally watched "This is Spinal Tap" and on the big screen!!

I'd never had the opportunity to see it, but it was re released to theatres and so I saw it on Sunday.

Hilarious!!!

Did anybody else go out and see it?

I guess there's a sequel coming! I can't wait!!

Wasn't in any theaters where we lived so had to drive to the NW suburbs of Chicago to see it.
Since then, I've just seen it on TV. VHS, DVD & movie channels.
We have a nice surround soubd system now, so it's pretty cool. But, it sounded so good in the theater.
The sequel is supposed to be out this year. Sometime after Labor Day.

at the time I was super good friends with a garage band. It was like the movie was partly about my life. HILARIOUS!
