Before Flight of the Conchords and The Lonely Island were recording hilarious parody songs, there was Spinal Tap. The spoof metal band headed up the 1984 This is Spinal Tap mockumentary and vaulted into the spotlight with a couple of classic albums, including songs like "Stonehenge" and "Gimme Some Money."
And now, Spinal Tap is back!

This Side of the Truth, written and directed by Ricky Gervais, looks like it's going to be awesome. The story is set in a world where no one has ever lied, and, according to Gervais, he plays "a loser who discovers one day that he, and only he has the ability to lie. In a world where no one even understands the concept of lying, everyone totally believes, without question anything I tell them.

Here's something to snap you out of that post-Oscars funk: "Arrested Development" creator Mitchell Hurwitz and Waiting for Guffman writer/director Christopher Guest are teaming up to make a comedy pilot for ABC.
According to Zap2it, Guest will be directing Hurwitz's adaptation of a British show called "The Thick of It," which — no surprises here — is filmed like a mockumentary.
My inner "Arrested Development" fan is already mourning the show's demise, but I'm going to try to be optimistic for a little while.
