The greatest movie trailer ever made (sadly in less-than-great video quality):
And if, somehow, you don’t know why 11/11/11 is Nigel Tufnel Day:

That is an incredible trailer, isn’t it?
Can you imagine a modern movie doing that? I mean, just not even showing the movie they’re advertising and doing a completely original unrelated comedy bit?
Different times, man, different times.
No, I can’t imagine it. It’s kind of hard to believe Reiner did it; it’s just such an off-the-wall idea. And yet, it somehow does prepare you for what sort of movie it’ll be…
I hadn’t seen that trailer before, it’s hilarious!
“you like the cheese i’ll throw that in… i’m still editing!”
It’s even funnier when you consider what it must have been like for audiences seeing it when it was first released, not knowing anything about Spinal Tap…
I saw McKean, Guest, and Shearer in concert a couple of years ago. In between sets, they’d show little films and this was one of them. Something they threw together apparently. I didn’t even know that they used it for the trailer!
Awesome. I’m glad they throw in stuff like that.
How was the concert, incidentally?
