I'd be more concerned if EW hadn't become a PR vehicle for the Twilight franchise while reducing the parts of the magazine I did read (book reviews). Now I just want to know if they'll refund the rest of my subscription.
Entertainment mags really lost something when Premiere went under. Sure it's on the web now, but for a while there it was a first-rate publication. It was never as smug as Film Comment or as French as Cahiers. Just a decent movie magazine. This? Good riddance.
I work in their building in NYC and can't remember the last time I saw someone from EW on the elevator. Are we sure they still have any employees and aren't just churning out content from some giant PR-aggregating hyperintelligent (well, not that intelligent) artificial brain somewhere?
I would not count that large craniumed twinkle-chested teen swoon-hound to be one of the 20 greatest vampires of all time. Shame on the world for perpetuating this utter, complete nonsense. I'd like his head weighed for confirmation that its mastodonic size isn't somehow compelling people into thinking he's somehow interesting.
I'm a Brit, but I bloody loved it, and I've never been a massive Tarantino fan (Jackie Brown aside). Shame about it shoring up Weinstein, but do go and see! It's unique.
If I were CBS, I'd be trying to get the flyover states to watch my show - thus putting the adverts in mags going there. They're the people actually sitting at home, not NYCers and Los Angelenos.
So $11 to $15 per copy? Wow indeed. (I see on Wired that the video will be "only in some subscriptions delivered to New York and LA," but still. Big Bucks for Big Bang Theory! (I admit it, I really like that show.)
If I open a magazine and more than two subscriber cards fall out (and usually land under the subway seat of the stinky homeless guy and I don't retrieve them and get the evil eye from fucking transplants who don't remember when you had to worry about your LIFE on the subway and not some random piece of litter), I never buy that rag again.
Now this.
Subway patrons beware. The whole damn magazine is coming your way the first time I come across one of these things.
Surprise: worst fucking advert for worst fucking television show.
Is it possible to reach 100% commercial saturation? At a certain point, can I just have some fucking ad exec garnish my wages and leave me the fuck alone?

I still like it but it gets thinner and thinner each week.
