Troma Entertainment and their catalogue of films is as vital as air is to some of us horror fans. The longest-running independent film studio of our time has given us some of the very best in gore and low-brow goodness. Their catalogue is long and varied. From Terror Firmer to Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead and everything in between. Troma does things in a way that is almost as distinct as a fingerprint. Troma’s big superhero – the face of Troma belongs to Toxie. This is of course the character from the original Toxic Avenger. The film that helped director, producer and Troma Entertainment co-founder, Lloyd Kaufman break into the world of long-lasting and memorable cult film. The Toxic Avenger spawned a few sequels and assisted in building house Troma.

Now, all these years later. Macon Blair is taking over as director of a Toxic Avenger reboot with a gigantic cast of big name actors. The cast includes Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay and of course Peter Dinklage. Dinklage takes on the role of Toxie in this iteration of the film.

In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Dinklage talked about the Toxic Avenger reboot and let fans know that it is still going to be over-the-top and crazy.

“It’s not a remake. I just like guerrilla filmmaking. Those movies, they just made them, no matter what.” Dinklage said. “They just did it because they love doing it. Some of them are not the best, but some are so much fun. When you make movies too clean, it can distance the audience. They want to feel the dirt under their fingernails. I think those Troma films definitely dipped the audience in toxic waste.”

This is great news. No die hard Troma fans want to see this reboot step out of line or attempt to be something that isn’t true to Troma.

The synopsis for Toxic Avenger 1986 goes like this:

A 98-pound nerd (Mark Torgl) from New Jersey lands in a vat of toxic waste and becomes a benevolent monster (Mitchell Cohen).

The Toxic Avenger reboot is produced by Micheal Herz and Lloyd Kaufman. It is being delivered via Legendary Pictures and Troma Entertainment.

Pop star Lily Allen has posted a crying-with-laughter emoji at a meme which suggests Princess Diana is furious about Prince Philip entering heaven.

The meme, which has been shared by Instagram page Saint Hoax, has used a clip from Super Nanny which shows super nanny herself Jo Frost closing the door on a crying toddler.

The meme, which was shared with the account’s 2.7million followers, was captioned: ‘Princess Diana when Philip tries to enter heaven.’

 Lily Allen has posted a crying-with-laughter emoji at a meme which suggests Princess Diana is furious about Prince Philip entering heaven just hours after the palace announced his death

The post attracted criticism at those making light of Prince Philip’s death just hours after it was confirmed by Buckingham Palace this afternoon.

Britain has entered eight days of mourning ahead of Philip’s expected funeral next Saturday, after The Queen announced with ‘deep sorrow’ the death of her husband at the age of 99.

The duke was the Queen’s ‘strength and guide’ throughout their 73-year marriage and her 69-year reign.

Crowds of mourners who were pictured laying flowers and tributes at palaces became so large they were told to disperse because of Covid.

Meanwhile, the post from Saint Hoax, a pseudonymous artist who is described as a social-political activist, has received more than 3,500 comments in the six hours since it has been shared.

Lily Allen commented on the post: ‘I’m dead at the Diana one,’ followed by a crying-with-laughter emoji.

However, not all commenters were as amused with many calling out the post for being distasteful.

Some called out Ms Allen’s comment with one writing: ‘Do you really think this is appropriate? Have some respect.’

Others called out the post itself with one user writing: ‘Wow. There is so much hate in these comments. Someone died. It is not funny.

‘And none of you knows the truth of what happened in the royal family. So please stop being judgemental and relax your nerves. This is quite tasteless.’

Another added: ‘Usually I have found your posts super funny and on point. But now…a man has died. His family and country will miss him.

‘I hope you understand that this is not a good way to find humour.’

A third commenter said: ‘To half the kids in the comments, how would you feel if one of your relatives died and half the internet was poking fun at their death?

‘This is clearly not okay and I’m tired of these platforms failing to draw the line between comedy, satire and plain, vile behaviour.’ 

Lily Allen’s representatives have been contacted by MailOnline.

It was nothing short of a rollercoaster for Liverpool at Villarreal but just as rival fans were rubbing their hands together in glee, Jurgen Klopp‘s side ensured they’d have the last laugh.

And that was exactly how Jamie Carragher’s night unfolded while reporting on the match as part of CBS’ coverage, alongside Thierry Henry and Micah Richards.

At first, Carragher looked like he wanted to be anywhere but the studio as Liverpool relinquished their 2-0 goal lead from the first leg in the space of only 43 minutes.

No doubt like many others at the time, he was pacing the length of the studio with a less than impressed expression as Henry and Richards laughed at his, and Liverpool’s, expense.

The glee was tangible at half-time, but it would not last.

With Fabinho, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane all finding the net, Carragher would soon be dancing in his seat and cut a jubilant figure as Liverpool made sure of their place in the Champions League final.

But while the ex-Red was calling for a round of beers to celebrate, Henry and Richards’ smiles 45 minutes previous were nowhere to be seen…wonder why that was.

And Carragher’s euphoria even extended to an invitation to LeBron James, who holds a stake in Liverpool, for the final: “LeBron, if you want to come to Paris, you can join us and the CBS team and you can be my guest!

“I’m pitchside and I want you next to us in Paris. Give us the support we need to win that seventh European Cup. Come and join us, big man!”

It was a cold, damp night, not the sort of weather to make anyone sit outside for more than two and a half hours, let alone a 96-year-old who has been having is
