After sitting on a shelf at Warner Brothers for over a year, Rutles 2: Can’t Buy Me Lunch, the much anticipated sequel to Eric Idle’s 1978 mockumentary, will receive its world premiere in Los Angeles on August 16.
One presumes it will appear in more venues in the near future. It’s about time!
The DVD finally came out earlier this year. It’s not as good as the original… more like Eric Idle Rips Off Eric Idle.
Well, the Barenaked Ladies weblog that looked so promising seems to be a bust:
This may not be a permanent issue; the text is a generic IIS/ASP error message, which could indicate that the site’s been hacked or is just down (like that’s never happened before). Seeing as there hadn’t been any updates since June it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if the BNLBlog has simply gone the way of the dodo. Whatever the cause, it’s a disappointing development.
Well, the site is back, but the content is still ancient. Sigh.
