Flash Gordon Remake Gets Some Writers, Probably to Make it all Gritty and Urban
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun... Flash! Pakow! Ahhh! It's quite difficult to decide what made up word successfully describes the noise after 'Flash!' is cried on the Queen song, but hecklerspray has gone with 'pakow!' and forever it will remain that way. What is less difficult to describe is the news that Flash Gordon, polo playing (or american footballer, depending on how much stock you put in the 80s film) hero of the universe, is to make a return to the big screen. This comes across as particularly strange, following the fact that the recent Flash Gordon TV series was received in the way a crap-covered balloon given to a child with a terminal illness would be received. Stretched analogies aside, we mean the TV show wasn't very good. And it still isn't, actually. But this hasn't stopped Hollywood in their never-ending quest to rape nostalgia forever, which has frankly become such a stupidly common occurrence that we feel we should give it an official name. Leave your suggestions below.

Lethal Weapon 5: They Really, Really Are Too Old For This… Stuff
Never let it be said that we of hecklerspray are ever anything but right all the time. ALL THE TIME*. Just as we say, non-stop, that Hollywood has run out of ideas - reporting on the Goonies sequel, The Smurfs movie (Lindsay Lohan's role as 'Big Lesbian Smurf' still unconfirmed) and the fear we all felt when the Friends movie was rumoured - they come and do it again. This time it's the turn of Lethal Weapon 5, where they really, really will be too old for this shizzle. Or they might be too drunk, who knows?
