SO I bought Christopher Guest's "A Mighty Wind" on dvd last night. It was in the clearance bin at Walgreen's for $1.99!!
I can see why it didn't do well in the theaters, what with it being about folk music...you have o have been a folkie or raised by one to really get most of the jokes.
Me, I about laughed myself into a rupture...watched it twice and still haven't gotten most of the subtleties. "There was abuse in my house as a child...but it was mostly musical in nature."
I was also quite amazed that all the actors played their own instruments and sang live. And that Michael McKean and Anette O'Toole wrote most of the materiel.
Anybody else enjoy this and Guest's other films? Besides Spinal Tap, I mean. We all love Spinal Tap. Or we should.
