Guest Dumps Mockumentaries
This Is Spinal Tap icon Christopher Guest has disappointed fans by refusing to make any more “mockumentary” movies – because he no longer finds them funny. The actor/director realized he’d made too many comic documentaries when he helped compile Best In Show, the Museum of Modern Art’s retrospective of his movies in New York. Guest explains, “I had always intended to do just three movies in that format, and then do something else. I don’t think I’ll go back to the documentary-style genre. Eugene Levy (his friend and collaborator) and I talked about different possibilities. One was a Western. I’m not trying to make blockbuster movies. I don’t know how to. I’m just trying to make movies that are funny for me.”
