😮 who’s excited about the new Spinal Tap?!?

When 'This Is Spinal Tap' came out in 1984, Steven Tyler and Aerosmith were in a dry-spell. So, the lead singer took the film to heart.

I said I would post this in conjunction with our episode on movie marketing... and I forgot. But have a look, I think it is very cool!

Three human shaped RC planes were flown around New York City to create the illusion of people flying. Lots of fun.The music track is "Unstoppable 2" by Tom Q...

A Carrie spinoff y’all! What to you think? I’m intrigued

just couldn’t leave her alone. After Amazon came knocking with the idea for a series, even he asked, “Why?”—and ’s answer was a polite hell no. (“She’s been through enough.”) But Flanagan whipped up a show bible, invoked the sacred power of the modern reboot pitch, and turned Uncle Steve from skeptical gatekeeper to intrigued fan. The result is an 8-episode “bold and timely reimagining” that won’t retell the story, won’t focus on telekinesis, and definitely won’t be prom queen fanfic. Instead, it’s about what happens when you weaponize high school cruelty with smartphones and social media—because nothing says horror like viral locker room footage in 4K. plays the new Carrie White, with as Principal Grayle, and will be taking the mom-from-hell mantle as Margaret. Expect blood. Expect trauma. Expect phones.
