SPINAL TAP 2 (2025)

Kind of odd / melancholy watching this in the wake of Reiner's death (especially as a few scenes involve jokes about murder), but have to admit I didn't laugh once during this. :(

the band seem bored, disinterested... there are various Spinal Tap interviews and one-off promo bits from the last 20 years which are truly hilarious, all of them playing off each other to genius effect... here it all seems laboured and forced. no quotable moments. no moments of peak cringe comedy

THE NUDE RESTAURANT (1967):

double bill with NAKED LUNCH ? 

never been tempted to watch an Andy Warhol movie. even less so now, ew...

[M.10rda]

Yeah, I think Warhol might've intended the title as some humorous reference... vis a vis Burroughs' quote "where you see what's at the end of everyone's fork". But that's the only connection I can make. I don't hate Warhol, but it always requires a bit of effort to concentrate on his films... perhaps more effort than is rewarded!
