This Is Spinal Tap, 1984 (dir. Rob Reiner)
By Casey McAuley
“Let’s talk about your reviews a little bit. Regarding ‘Intravenus de Milo’: “This tasteless cover is a good
indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth rate of this band cannot even be
charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry.”
“‘The Gospel According to Spinal Tap’: “This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is
enough to prompt the question: “What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap and couldn’t he have rested on that
day too?”
The review you had on ‘Shark Sandwich’…which was merely a two word review - just said “shit sandwich.”
