They’re making another sequel to an Eighties movies… no, hold up: it’s SPINAL TAP.
That… maybe changes things, right? “A sequel is in the works to the 1984 rock mockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap,” with director Rob Reiner returning alongside stars Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer.” It’s going to be in the style of THE LAST WALTZ, complete with other real-life musicians* paying tribute.

‘Stonehenge.’

So, they’re claiming that they’ve found ancient stone circles in Virginia. Once I stopped raising my eyebrow – you would be amazed at how often stuff like this is claimed, on thin evidence – I had only one response:
“Christmas With The Devil.”
