Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight

I went and met my dad and my sister for lunch at Huey's. So that was a nice change of pace from the usual routine. At night Mary Beth and I went to see Spinal Tap II: the End Continues. I went in with low expectations, but it was good! Lots of really funny stuff and some good loud laughing. Not every joke lands but who would I think I am to expect that? It of course does not touch the original, but it's definitely good as a forty-one-years-later sequel. It does revel a bit in callbacks to the first movie, given the premise it makes sense, that it's about a reunion concert so of course all the songs they're playing are the older songs from the first movie (oh, and some songs too from their post-first-movie ventures). Not a bad thing, but just a note to address the extent the sequel lies in the shadow of the original (though very much not a bad shadow to lie under!). It does have plenty of original humor too and a lot of that is very funny. I'd say it's definitely worth going to see.
