From imdb.com:
The seminal spoof rock band Spinal Tap is due to make a reunion appearance at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York tonight (Wednesday) with a new 15-minute film describing their lives since the original This Is Spinal Tap mockumentary was released in 1984. The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that the original band members, guitarist Nigel Tufnel (played by Christopher Guest), singer David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) and bassist Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer), are also due to perform at Wembley Stadium in England as part of the Live Earth concerts on July 7. In an interview, director Marty DeBergi (Rob Reiner) said, “They’re not that environmentally conscious, but they’ve heard of global warming. … Nigel thought it was just because he was wearing too much clothing that if he just took his jacket off it would be cooler.”
I can’t wait to see this new 15 minute film. I hope it’ll be available online!

I’m pretty sure I read that the film will be available online tomorrow on the Live Aid website

This is one of the best films ever made and I have seen the other Guest films plenty of times as well from Guffman to For Your Consideration. Some of the best comedies you’ll ever see.
Alright!!!! Smell the glove reunion tour!
You put a *greased naked woman* on all fours with a dog collar around her neck, and a leash, and a man’s arm extended out up to here, holding onto the leash, and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don’t find that offensive? You don’t find that sexist?
Well, you should have seen the cover they *wanted* to do! It wasn’t a glove, believe me.
I just watched the 15 minute short on the web site above. Funny stuff.
