Z-Shaped, Tasteless Losers Rejoice At New Material From Suede!

January 16th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

Remember Suede? That’s right. They were a vaguely noisy band with an obsession with Bowie and women’s blouses. They were at the forefront of Britpop and, for the most part, Britpop was rubbish. So thanks for that.

Apparently, they’ll be making a comeback. Just great.

Of course, there’s a plethora of middle-aged men with pink faces who are just as thrilled as their velvet blazer wearing girlfriends who will be pleased about the return of one of the most average bands in existence!

A Little Story About Interviewing Andy Parsons, Being Gruntled And Failing Technology

December 12th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Here at hecklerspray, we like to interview people. It gives us the opportunity to show celebrities that we have the temerity to be more intelligent than they think we are and, of course, it gives us a chance to show you readers that we have the gall to be rude to someone’s face.

There’s no hiding behind a computer screen here.

And so, we got the chance to interview Andy Parsons – you’ll know him as the bloke with the baldy heid from Mock The Week won’t you? Well. We ballsed up.

Movie Review: We Need To Talk About Kevin

August 5th, 2012 By hecklerspray staff

We Need To Talk About Kevin is one of those films where everybody says they loved it for its gritty portrayal of a mother coming to terms with the fact her misunderstood son killed a load of people at school for no apparent reason, making everyone throw their hands in the air and scream ?WHY GOD???, even those who haven't seen the bloody film.

The truth is that it's as tedious as a GCSE drama piece about growing up in North Wales.

The translucent skinned, Tilda Swinton, was the only woman that could have played the part of Eva, Kevin?s mother, as she plodded about town looking like somebody with Dutch Elm disease.

Movies From Beyond: Cannibal Cars And Flying Zombies!

August 7th, 2012 By hecklerspray staff

Welcome once again, to ?Movies From Beyond? your weekly celebration of the good, the bad and the ugly of films! We love horror and gore and all things drenched in blood and can only assume you're the same, so sit back and relax, oh, and feel free to use the sick bags?

As a rule we like films set on planes; (?Redeye? and ?Snakes on a Plane?) and we REALLY like horror movies set on planes.

So imagine our delight when we got our sweaty little paws on the recently released ?Quarantine 2? which combines air travel and zombies in a blood drenched spectacular we haven't seen the likes of since ?Flight of the Living Dead? dragged it's rotting corpse through passport control.

Movies From Beyond: Hobo With A Shotgun & The Monster Squad

August 7th, 2012 By hecklerspray staff

Welcome one and all to the much anticipated return of Movies From Beyond. It’s been a while and in the last year or so we have continued to watch some of the best worst b-movies, cult classics and horrortastic exploitation so you don’t have to…

…unless you want to see what happens when a man with a voice like a duck goes mad with a knife (‘New York Ripper’) or when an Army experiment escapes and eats a load of people (‘Sharktopus’) yes, you read that right, it’s a shark crossed with a octopus!

Now, what would you do if you saw a sex offender, dressed like Santa, knocking one out whilst watching kids in a playground? Oh, what’s that you say? Blow his face off with a 20 gauge? Well that’s exactly what screen legend Rutger Hauer (‘Blade Runner, The Hitcher’) does in the fantastically bonkers ‘Hobo With A Shotgun‘, the latest fake trailer (and SXSW winner) from ‘Grindhouse’ to get an expansion after ‘Machete’ saw release.

The Inbetweeners Movie Breaks Box-Office Records, Despite Being Desperately Unfunny

August 5th, 2012 By Matthew Laidlow

When E4 had eventually grown tired of showing endless repeats of Friends and Scrubs, the channel eventually spat out its own unique programming, aimed at the sort of person that hecklerspray writers aren't; the young, the cool, the hip and the trendy. Arseholes, basically.

On one end of the spectrum, there was Skins, a programme which captured everyone’s dream college lifestyle, in a show which frequently used drugs, booze and sex, but portrayed them in the most extreme way to great effect.

Skins was escapism for most whilst The Inbetweeners offered a firmer dose of reality, especially for hormonal teenage boys. These are the sort of people who couldn't quite make that move from fingering a girl to using an empty packet of Space Raiders as a makeshift condom when that first awkward sexual experience arrived.

Film Review- We Are What We Are (And You Can Win A Copy Too!)

August 5th, 2012 By Si Sharp

When Jonathan Swift asserted the logic of cannibalism in his satirical essay ?A Modest Proposal?, he suggested that the poor sell their children to the rich for food. In Jorge Michel Grau?s debut feature-length We Are What We Are the poor have already started eating themselves. This Mexican drama/horror focuses on a family whose principal dysfunction is the killing and eating of people.

The film opens with the family?s patriarch staring dead-eyed into the window of a department store, before falling down dead on the pavement. Street cleaners then move the body and clean the disgusting liquid that the man coughed up.

It's not a subtle statement on poverty and class but it's certainly one that is visually arresting. The man?s zombie-like appearance is at odds with the spotless surfaces of his consumerist surrounding, a juxtaposition familiar with Romero?s Dawn of the Dead.

Creased or Folded? hecklerspray Tells You the Way it is

August 4th, 2012 By Chris Laverty

This week?s filthy likes and dislikes.

Folded:

Scott Mills (annoying as you like on the radio, but fair play to him for making that difficult The World’s Worst Place to Be Gay? programme. Slapped repeatedly with a chicken for goodness sake)
National Express? profits are up nearly 40% (great news for them, though undoubtedly means we are all too poor and undignified to get the train)
Colin Firth not winning Best Actor at the Academy Awards (c?mon let's get behind this idea and see if the world really does end)

And our ravishingly attractive competition winner is Sarah Harman from That London. She’ll now be able to sit in bed with her poindexter hat on and Mr T gold chain watching DVDs on her laptop, not quite able to find a way of being comfortable as she lies down to get optimum viewing angles. Hurray for that!

Blu-ray Review – The Social Network

August 5th, 2012 By David Scarborough

The internet is full of dicks (hecklerspray excluded, of course). Just take a look around: there's that kid over there, blogging about his pathetic existence; that tweeting celebrity, moaning about their insufferable riches; and what about Justin Bieber? Ergh.

The internet is a horrible cesspit of words and pictures, never more aptly demonstrated than in social hub Facebook.

It's also appropriate then that the story behind the invention of the 21^st Century?s most dominating stalker tool, The Social Network, is as full of nauseating idiots as its millions of inhabitants.
