(This post is mainly a test to try out something that I just signed up for)
A couple of people I really like were riding my sorry ass about how I’ve never seen this thing. Well – I have now and – please don’t hate me – but I didn’t love it. BUT I TRIED!!! I mean, I’m not into concert footage or ad-libbing or loud noises or the 80s or Fran Drescher or Bruno Kirby or Billy Crystal. Sure I got some chuckles out of it but it’s just not my type of movie. In fact, it’s almost the exact opposite of what I like – but I didn’t hate it. Sorry – don’t unfollow me.
Also – I thought I would share this tragic cautionary tale from right here in the home state. The lesson? Don’t fuck with Brad from HARD TICKET TO HOME VIDEO!!!
I’m sorry you didn’t like this…Wanna know a secret? I’ve never seen it. *Lowers voice* Don’t tell the Mutant! Also, PEOPLECANDIEFROMWEDGIESHOLYSHIT?!?!

I get it!! I think you had to be “in” to this type of thing when it came out to enjoy / still enjoy it. I was in to Alan Parsons Project, PInk Floyd and Queen in 1982…

In a way it is like Monty Python and The Holy Grail for pretty much musicians. Honestly, I think the only people who get this movie are musicians. I haven’t met one non-musician who likes this film, because they have never gone through what a lot of us have. I have from being a roadie and being in bands.

I don’t know how to respond to this but this comment is two days old so you’ll probably not read this response but – I loved Wayne’s World when it came out. Have you seen it recently? It’s not so good after all of this time…. I hope you still like me…

I love this movie and I’m not a musician. Although a lot of the jokes are in reference to other inside metal stories like the Stonehenge scene. Black Sabbath wanted a stage prop (I think it was a huge devil) and completely screwed up the size and it was too large for the stage. So Spinal Tap took a story like that to mock it with a miniature sized stage prop. But you don’t have to know music to laugh yourself silly when you see a little person dancing around a 3 foot Stonehenge replica do you?

I liked this but it’s not the classic that it’s hailed as.

I’m with Mark. It did have some pretty funny moments, but I didn’t love it as much as others, although I guess I can see why some may hail it as a classic. It just wasn’t a classic for me. But it was pretty good.

I think – to me – if I had seen this a long time ago I would probably find it much funnier and like it more. I think, since I just saw this for the first time the other day – I feel like I’ve heard all of those jokes already and I’m tired of them… I can appreciate why some people like it so much, though.
LikeLike
Yeah I actually just saw this in like 2010-2011 or sometime around then, so I was pretty late to the party, as well.

I didn’t like it so much when I first saw it but liked it more the more times I watched it – don’t know if that makes any sense – and I love the songs… “Big bottoms, Big bottoms, talk about bun-cakes my girl’s got ’em.” Having played in bands for many years I do think a lot of the puns are ‘insider jokes’. And it is a bit like Monty Python – so ridiculous you have to laugh.

Actually, I don’t. I don’t think I’ve heard you mention him – at least that I can recall off the top of my head. I know you loved “Kick Ass 2”, but I didn’t think that had anything to do with Jim Carrey. And one doesn’t have to be a fan of Jim Carrey to appreciate “Dumb & Dumber”. The genius behind D&D are the Farrelly Brothers who have churned out a slew of comedy gold hits like “Shallow Hal, “Something About Mary”, “Kingpin”.

I will tell you a comedy hailed as a great classic that I think sucks is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I can’t get into that. I did get some laughs out of Spinal Tap, though. Not a favorite, but it didn’t suck or anything.
