Don't you hate it when you're trying to enjoy a movie and some inconsiderate asshole refuses to put his (or her) phone away? Us too. But do you hate it enough to stab the offending texter in the neck with a pencil-- and then screw the gaping wound in her neck?
That's the message posited by an "indent" (that's British for "bump") produced for the UK horror festival FrightFest 2012, where that exact scenario plays out as a warning for patrons to turn off their phones before the movie starts.
Apparently FrightFest wanted to take it up a notch from the Alamo Drafthouse's famous "no talking" PSAs, which recruit celebrities to give the message and even spun an ejected patron's irate voice mail into a viral video. But some festival-goers say the spot went too far, causing a firestorm of controversy (or as producers like to call it, free publicity) as horrified patrons called it "misogynist," "disgusting", and just plain "excessive." We think they just didn't get the joke: the spot was only played once-- at a midnight screening of the upcoming Maniac remake!
Do you think the FrightFest PSA goes too far? Do you endorse vigilante justice against movie-theater texters (of which our head writer McBeardo heartily approves)? Let us know in the comments!
We've got a right proper crop of British beauties getting their kits off (that's "naked" to us Yanks) this week on DVD and Blu-ray: First, a blonde by the extremely British name of Honeysuckle Weeks seduces an eager young missionary in the horror-comedy The Wicker Tree (2011). Then, English rose Jessica Brown Findlay flashes a pair of IDs in the indie drama Albatross (2011). After that, British style icon Marianne Faithfull keeps the faith by showing skin in the groovy '60s flick Girl on a Motorcycle (1968), and finally UK sexploitation star (and former fling of Prince Andrew) Koo Stark is put through her paces in the Marquis de Sade adaptation Justine (1977).
Also nude on Blu-ray, the Italians see your Justine and raise you one Killer Nun (1978), starring Anita Ekberg as the titular sister and the densely-thicketed Paola Morra as her frequently nude prey.

Rosie the Robot?
It was too her great surprise that racktastic and rumpalicious UK model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley learned that she was going to be replacing notorious skin-flint Megan Fox in the upcoming summer action flick Transformers 3.
Megan's obstinate refusal to flash flesh (probably not even for her gynecologist) has sent her acting career into a freefall at terminal velocity and got her kicked off the big-budget sure-to-be-blockbuster last year.
But this news escaped Rosie's attention. And went she went to audition for a part in Transformers 3, she thought she was replacing Megatron, not Megan Fox.
So when she was called in by producers to see if she was hotter than Fox and showed up doing her best impression of a giant space robot, she understandably got a distorted picture of the audition.
"I went to the casting unaware they were looking for a new female lead. We were told it was for a 'nemesis' role. I left thinking I was awful. The next day I was offered the lead!
I met Shia Lebeouf that evening and within three weeks I was shooting my first scenes."
The only way this story could have ended any better is if she said she were shooting 3-D full-frontal scenes like Charlotte Ross in Drive Angry or Betsy Rue in My Bloody Valentine.
That truly would be trance-forming. And tent-in-the-pants-forming.
Although classy Brit babe Kristin Scott Thomas may look like she's actually getting royally rogered by her costar in the French drama Partir, the actress claims that no actual penetration occurred.
Kristin, who recently won the 'Best British Actress' award at the Evening Standard British Film Awards for her role in the movie responded to suggestions that she looks like she's getting a real hot beef injection or two in the scene, saying: "I can assure you straight away they were not real. At the time, I was interested in making a film about a mature woman, her emotions and her sexuality."
Kristin has been exploring these roles for quite some time, lezzing out with French beauty Emmanuelle Seigner in Roman Polanski's Bitter Moon back in 1994.
Describing what it's like to get naked in front of a camera and pretend to bang some actor (or actress), Kristin says you need "courage" and "choreography" and that "you feel like you're brave enough to do it and everyone else around you isn't. It's like jumping off a cliff." Or onto a small tree.
Maybe the sex in Partir isn't real, but Kristin's UK T&A are as real as they come!
The Norman Invasion of 1066 is the best British invasion of all time. The Beatles are the best British band of all time. Fish and chips are the best British fried food of all time. And Kate Moss is the best British model of all time.
And now, according to the new list of the 100 Best British Films from Time Out compiled by 150 experts including Sam Mendes, Wes Anderson and Sally Hawkins, Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now is the best British film of all time.
The 1973 thriller, which features a fully nude Julie Christie doing a non-simulated sex scene with Donald Sutherland, has long been in the Mr. Skin Hall of Fame.
About the pronouncement, director Roeg said of the skinfamous sex scene: "For me, sex is very rarely rude. It's a fresh thing. Sex, whether you like it or not, is the prime force of life. There is no other reason to be here."
No other reason we can think of.
British filmmaker Julien Temple has delivered some memorable nude 
scenes throughout his career (in particular softcore superstarlet Mary Millington in the 1980 Sex Pistols epic The Great Rock-N-Roll Swindle), as well as delivering bright, bouncy blonde Juno Temple—his daughter—to the world in 1989.
Now its time for Juno, who's breast remembered as the sexy slave-girl in the Jack Black-Michael Cera caveman comedy Year One (2009), to take up her dad’s mantle and supply skin on-screen herself.
Twenty-one-year-old Juno does just that in Kaboom (2010), the latest arthouse outrage from director Gregg Araki, who’s previously given us Rose McGowan nude in The Doom Generation (1995) and Anna Faris flashing ass-crack in Smiley Face (2007).
Don’t miss Juno Temple’s naked kabobblers as she rides man-rod in Kaboom. Mr. Skin members get full access now. It’s guaranteed to cock your sex pistol.
But Covers Her Boobs with her Hands for Some Reason
We’ve been seeing British beauty Sadie Frost naked since her nude debut in the NC-17 thriller Dark Obsession. But now she’s giving us a chance to see her 44-year-old body naked (more or less) with no airbrushing in the UK magazine Grazia.
And after four kids and two tumultuous marriages to Spandau Ballet front man Gary Kemp and Jude Law, Sadie’s body is undeniably hot.
Her boobs are covered, but the actress’s ass is clearly visible, which is nice, because it’s the one part of her anatomy we’ve never seen on film.
“I want to make a big point here,” she proclaims. “It's not about taking my clothes off and using digital trickery to make me look slimmer.”
Maybe no one told Sadie she would have made an even bigger point by replicating her full-frontal scene from Presence of Mind ten years ago.

Bend It Like Beckham Star Bares It Like (Victoria) Beckham (on a Nude Beach With Paparazzi Present)
Soon-to-be naked Parminder Nagra achieved super stardom when she starred with Keira Knightley in the international smash hit Bend it Like Beckham, where she played an Indian girl clashing with her parents over tradition.
Now it seems the Pulchritudinous Punjabi has a bit of a rebellious streak in real life.
First she refused to go along with the marriage her parents arranged for her when she was 18, and now she’s decided to break another taboo and bare her body on screen in the made-for-TV movie Compulsion.
"My mum will probably disapprove but I'll deal with that. I'm old enough now to make decisions like this," says Nagra.
Mr Skin supports her bold and forward-thinking choice.
And if you can’t wait for Compulsion to come out, you can actually see a bit of Nagra-knocker and nipple in the 2003 drama Second Generation.
But don’t tell her parents.
