This seems like a terrible idea

Yeah... how many decades-later sequels have actually been good?

The irony is, in that very article they quote Reiner saying how in comedy you want to leave the audience wanting more, and not to overstay your welcome...

Although a Spinal Tap farewell tour in their old age is a decent premise at least.

McKean, Guest, Shearer - I feel like the potential for it being mediocre is pretty low if all three of those guys are signed on.

In the defense of bad ideas, the first one was also a quite terrible idea. And just look how that turned out.
