Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:00:25 GMT

You have to sympathise with Will Smith - the man has had a rough time recently, having to deal with a constant barrage of claims that he’s an evil Scientologist from the planet Zod, or wherever it is they come from. Yes, the Fresh Prince has taken most of his time in-between promoting Hancock defending himself [...]

MAMMA MIA IS AW(ful)SOME!!! (FreakyTrigger)

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:18:59 GMT

The tonal shifts in Mamma Mia are unsettling. The range of acting styles, from mugging through to camp are far broader than any film I have seen in years. The cinematography only occasionally lifts its head above competent and Meryl Streep should never, ever be allowed to wear dungarees again. But the soundtrack is terrific [...]

Christian Bale Becomes New Superhero: Bailman (Hecklerspray)

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:00:06 GMT

Method acting must be great - it provides a surefire way of behaving like something of an idiot and getting away with it in polite society. That is, unless you decide to go home and beat up your mum and sister, as it was alleged Christian Bale had gone and done yesterday. That takes things a [...]

George RR Martin goes down a storm with FantasyBookReview.co.uk (FantasyBookReview.co.uk blog)

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:32:01 GMT

George RR Martin’s fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire is loved by readers, critics and fellow authors alike. I struggled to get into the first two books: A Game of Thrones and Clash of the Kings but reasoned that the fault may lay with me rather than the books. I gave A Storm [...]

SLACKERJACK - Typing Ninja Hunter (Hecklerspray)

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:30:44 GMT

Things that are cool: ninjas. Things that aren't cool: typing. Here's Typing Ninja Hunter - a game that marries ninjas and typing. It's cool and uncool at the same time, just like wearing sandals or listening to porno movie soundtracks. Typing Ninja Hunter works in exactly the way you'd expect it to - a bunch on ninjas come tearing across the screen at you, and the only way you can fend them off is...

For ages, hecklerspray believed that the most intimate act a married couple could engage in was the exchange of saliva when ramming their tongues down each others throats. However, we were proven wrong when we were told that a couple can prove their love for each other by ‘creating a baby’. This literally knocked us [...]

George Lucas frozen in carbonite (Coolest Gadgets)

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:10:37 GMT

We’ve seen Han Solo in suspended animation indefinitely no thanks to his carbonite prison, but surely there are more deserving people of such punishment? What about Mr. George Lucas himself, for unleashing the abomination known as Jar-Jar Binks upon the galaxy, and torturing us through three prequels that are nothing but a special effects extravaganza without really fleshing out the characters’ pasts?...

A while ago, I talked about product placement on TV . Andy Burnham, our culture sec. doesn't want it on our screens, for which I am grateful, even though I understand that, while adverts are generally annoying, they do pay the bills (especially for the writers of TVScoop). However, a cursory shot of a swish car in a drama doesn't really affect the viewing pleasure...
