Westlife Say They’ll Never Get Back Together While We Preemptively Call Them Hypocrites

November 4th, 2011 By Michael Park

Hello. Are you a Westlife fan, troubled by the news that your Princes are going away to enjoy their moneyed-lives with their families and friends? Are you worried that there will suddenly be a void of mawkish, soaring ballads to sooth you while you self-harm in a bath of ice?

It’s bad news we’re afraid.

Westlife’s members have confirmed that the musical equivalent of an itchy jumper are unlikely to ‘do a Take That’ and get back together in a few years. Is it because Take That were always more relevant to pop music or is it because the Boyzone tribute market isn’t as lucrative as it once was? Who knows. Certainly not us.

Creased or Folded? hecklerspray Tells You the Way it is

August 4th, 2012 By Chris Laverty

This week’s list.

Folded:

Son of Rambow on DVD (the most heart-warming movie experience of the year so far. Blub)
Cool retro poster for Burn After Reading (God, how good does this film look?)
John Akii-Bua (interesting documentary on BBC4 about this legendary athlete a couple of weeks back. You probably didn’t watch it)
Team GB, or the Great British Team to give them their less shit title (well, we done alright, didn’t we?)
Gillian Anderson (the movie sucked, but she has absolutely still got it)

This week’s uppers and downers.

Folded:

Prawn cocktail Pringles (these really make sense)
I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry (annoying toy lesbian or taking the piss? Probably taking the piss, so laugh)
Madonna‘s jiggly boobs in the 4 Minutes video (okay, so we’re not Nuts magazine, but we’ve got eyes)
Genuine Childs (they guys composed the menu music for The Bourne Identity DVD, just in case you were wondering)
The XXIX Olympiad (numbingly compulsive. Quick, badminton is on!)

Creased:

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (the curse of Rob Cohen strikes again)

Top 7 Worst Famous Directors

September 20th, 2012 By hecklerspray staff

Forget your Fellinis, Godards, Spielbergs and David Leans, this article is dedicated to those directors who have really scraped the cinematic barrel to deliver us some of the worst movies imaginable.

Except they’re not the ones behind Jaws: The Revenge, the 1976 version of King Kong or Flashdance – no, these are ‘name’ directors, the ones who have by now been cemented as the worst of their kind.

The difference is that most of those mentioned below have arguably, at one time or another, had a good movie in them – it was the films that followed that secured their reputations for being among the worst famous directors ever.

Read and weep boys…

Top 9 Worst Movie Performances By Musicians

September 20th, 2012 By David Schwartz

Why can’t musicians simply be happy with playing music? Why do they insist on this misguided notion they are not simply musicians, but rather ‘performers’, ‘artists’ or, even worse, ‘entertainers’?

What’s so wrong with being called a musician? Does it not pay the rent anymore? Do you have to get another job as an actor just to make your ends meet? Times are hard for multi-millionaire rock stars, you know. Playing a guitar nicely and singing some catchy lyrics is not a bad living, but you can’t retire on it. And, of course, what the world really wants is more shit actors.

Well hecklerspray has had enough. It’s time to name and shame the worst offenders…
