A Mighty Wind, the new film from Christopher Guest and gang is the funniest movie I have seen in forever, and I think the best movie of this type since Spinal Tap. It helps to have Guest, McKean, and Shearer back playing music. These guys are so talented it is just depressing. And Fred Willard, as always, practically steals the show. It's amazing how a guy with basically one shtick can be so consistently hilarious with that shtick every single time. And Eugene Levy deserves an Oscar nomination. Seriously.
And through Netflix, I just saw 24 Hour Party People, a pretty remarkable re-creation of the Manchester music scene, 1976-1992. Ingeniously constructed, and tons of great music. I never did really appreciate New Order before, but this movie made me go out and buy "Substance," which I'm thoroughly enjoying. And the guy who plays Joy Division's Ian Curtis is downright creepy.
Yeah, that's right! I'm, like, a music hipster!
