If You Don’t Love Rebel Wilson, You’re Stupid

April 18th, 2013 By Rhiannon Davies

Maybe that’s a bit harsh. Let’s rephrase that – you have until the end of this post to fall in love with Rebel Wilson. After that, members of the general public are legally obligated to scream your stupidity at you as often as needed. Hey, I don’t make the rules.?

She’s the Australian writer, actress and comedian, who you mistook for Matt Lucas in drag the first time you saw ‘Bridesmaids’. So what’s so special about her? It’s a good thing you asked, because here are a few very good reasons that you will be declaring her your new weird crush in a matter of minutes.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an Incredible Male Stripper

September 24th, 2012 By Chris Starr

I am gay for Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The guy can do no wrong. He was great as a tiny kid in Third Rock from the Sun, and he’s been great in most of the movies he does nowadays as an accomplished adult actor. He’s not fallen off the wagon, and he’s fairly level-headed – which is more than you can say for a lot of former child actors.

Plus, the guy is able to make fun of himself. Whether it’s singing alongside Zooey Deschanel or – his latest foray into fun – making fun of himself and Channing Tatum’s stripper movie Magic Mike, he throws himself into things with gusto.

Resident Evil and 4 Other Movie Franchises That Just Won’t Die

September 19th, 2012 By Chris Starr

AHHHH ZOMBIES!! is my reaction to many horror films, but particularly “Resident Evil: Retribution”, which is the fifth movie based on the video game franchise (that’s more than the truly terrible “Final Fantasy” movies, natch). The reason I’m yelping in horror isn’t because they’ve managed to scare me with good cinematography: it’s because this franchise should’ve died a long time ago.

But like the living undead that populate it and the game it is based on, it simply won’t. The movie studios keep turning out the schlock. Last weekend at least, we proved that just as willingly as zombies will eat brains, humans will eat shit, because Resident Evil was the number one movie at the US box office last weekend, earning $21.1 million.

Malcolm Tucker’s Best Verbal Slapdowns

September 7th, 2012 By Chris Starr

Look very carefully at this man. Don’t be scared – well, do, actually. He’s terrifying. His name is Malcolm Tucker, and he is the funniest sitcom character that has ever walked this earth.

If you’re based in the US, you may have heard of ‘Veep’, the HBO show written by Armando Ianucci. Well know this: that show has a lot borrowed from its older, wiser UK relative ‘The Thick of It’, which is about the machinations of political power in the UK. But one thing that it doesn’t have is a Malcolm Tucker character.

Will Ferrell Announces Anchorman 2, Which Is Great News For Thick People

March 29th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

Will Ferrell is one of the worst things ever to happen to anything. He’s up there with Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman and Robert Mugabe. And all of these people are mystifyingly popular with gawping idiots.

Ferrell, presumably mugging in someone’s face and making farting noises right now, has a criminal record of tawdry comedy as long as your hecklerspray‘s face.

And our face is so very long because Ferrell has announced that he’s bringing?newscaster Ron Burgundy back in a sequel to Anchorman.

Skins Review: It Is Finally Over!

August 6th, 2012 By Lauren Mullineaux

Relief, sweet relief as we can finally be quoted accurately on declaring the end of Skins and the start of summer, two things we love more than Michael Barrymore?s pool parties ? can we get a Roflcopter?

It's a slow start to the demise of the series as we know it ? yes guys, sorry to say it's going down shortly, after one final amazefuck of a series with members of each and every cast, probably at uni doing absolutely shit tons of work and writing dissertations on the representation of youth in the media, or not, you know.

Anyway, yeah, so Frankie is around hunting her mum like she's in a bloody day-glow version of The Hunger Games or something. She's wearing the same jacket she has been for about nine weeks and its filthy which makes us admire the attention to detail, it's these little grubby bits that really make the difference.

Skins: Beds That Smell Of Vagina

August 6th, 2012 By Lauren Mullineaux

Here?s us getting all ready to talk to you about the Skins season finale and how that ending was a bit monumentally rubbish hanging off all the cliffs in the Lake District and it's only going to be bloody well on again next week isn't it?

We found that out through the cleverly titled, ?Next Week,? section at the end in case you were wondering what sort of powers we had.

On the whole we've noticed that Skins is peaking as the unusually fast pregnancy plot moves along.

Katy Perry Says Friends Don’t Care About Celebrity… While Travelling The World At Her Expense

March 19th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

Katy Perry isn’t like other popstars is she? Apart from the countless and obvious comparisons to all the other popstars of course. But yeah, she’s totally different. She married an ugly tall thin man for starters.

Either way, Perry is now focused on her friends since she and Russell Brand went their separate ways. Friends are the best aren’t they? They drink coffee with you, are there when you cry, there’s the Chandler one and of course, they don’t care what your job is – they love you for who you are.

And so, Katy Perry would like to talk up her pals and says that she?loves travelling with then because they ‘don’t give a crap about the hubbub’ that surrounds her celebrity status. They clearly enjoy you paying for everything though, not to mention the money which comes in handy when they appear in various publications as ‘sources’.

Doug Stanhope DVD review – Before Turning The Gun On Himself

August 6th, 2012 By hecklerspray staff

Doug Stanhope needs a new word – laughter doesn’t quite cover the reaction to Doug’s material. It’s a mish mash of laughing, and cringing at something you know deep in your gut you should be offended by.

Don’t get us wrong, Doug is no Bernard Manning – he knows exactly what he’s doing, and there’s no malice behind his words (with some exceptions, usually when discussing celebrity rehab shrinks). He uses the word faggot freely, yet is renowned for his support of the homosexual lifestyle (fucking without breeding, in his opinion, is the perfect solution to an overpopulated world).

Even then, some of his material is so dark, that you feel a shudder run through you each time you laugh. Are you laughing because he’s funny, or because he’s touched on something so abhorrent, that if you don’t laugh your mind will melt through your eyes?

Katy Perry To Write Tell-All Booky Wook About Russell Brand?

March 13th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s marriage was a surprise to everyone. He, the infantile Victorian magician with a Morrissey obsession and she, the Carry On popstar with a puntacular career and a long face.

When they split-up, everyone joined-in on a giant collective shrug and vaguely wondered what might happen next.

Well, one thing on the cards is a tell-all book from Katy Perry where she talks explicitly about Brand’s long, thin member and the various cutesy names he stuck to it.
