I see to have vague memories that both John Bruns and Arnab are big Rutles fans.
They got together for a showing at the Egyptian Theater last night and a Q&A and jam session – the first time the four have been together since it was filmed. Nicole Campos did a write-up and pictures for LA Weekly.

I watched Badlands last night. Wasn’t nearly as poetic and grand as Days of Heaven. I was surprised. NOt sure what I think of it yet, though it was very good.
mark, i’m not a huge rutles fan, though i do like them.
what i am though, is about to visit l.a. i get in tomorrow night, and leave next wednesday. drinks at the bounty at some point?
Yes. Highballs and a baseball steak. You’ll by shocked by the utter destruction of the shell of the Coconut Grove across the street.
Will be good.
I wish I could join you guys.
Love the Rutles, by the way. And if anyone wants to hear my cover of “Cheese and Onions” just let me know.
