Do You Want to See a Devil Wears Prada Sequel?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:32:31 -0700

In a recent interview with E!'s Ben Lyons, Anne Hathaway said she'd "love to work with everyone again" on a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. Sequels are certainly all the rage lately, and while some turn out well, sometimes they simply don't make sense and shouldn't be made.

Would you want to see a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada? And if so, what storylines would you like to see in a second movie? Even Hathaway is puzzled as to how a sequel would work, story-wise, so what would you suggest?

What's Buzzworthy? Great Airplane Movies

BuzzSugar — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 08:00:00 -0700

At one time or another, we've all found ourselves on a long flight, desperate for any way to kill time. That's when the airplane movie comes in. In my opinion, the best airplane movies are pure entertainment (not too much thinking necessary), and they help pass the time so quickly you're on the ground before you know it.

The Devil Wears Prada was one of those for me. I somehow hadn't seen it by the time it hit airplane screens, but it was the perfect thing to chew up a couple of hours of my time on a cross-country flight last year. Even my boyfriend, who probably would have rolled his eyes if I'd rented it at home, had to admit it was a pretty fun movie.

So for this week's Buzzworthy challenge, I'm asking you to track down the best movies you've seen on planes. Just use Buzzsugar's cool bookmarking tool to bookmark some fun flicks online, tag them with the phrase airplane movies, and tell me why they were great to watch at 30,000 feet. I'll post some readers' picks here next week.

You can also make a list of your picks. Here are mine:

What's Buzzworthy: Books About Work

BuzzSugar — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 14:00:00 -0700

I sure hope none of you worked too hard over Labor Day Weekend on my buzzworthy challenge about work books. Even during a time meant for holding picnics and celebrating the last days of summer, you managed to chip in some great reads about work and career. Here are a few of my favorites:

The Second Shift
This book about mothers who also work outside the home was chosen by CupcakeGal10, who wrote: "I read this for a women's studies class, but the content of the book has stayed with me long after college. It's not fiction and may not be the kind of 'escape' book you take with you to bed, but it illuminates the problems faced by the working mother in today's society, the enormous responsibilities she bears, and the difficult choices she must often make between home and work."

Two more great picks, plus a widget with all the books you tagged, if you read more

The Devil Wears Prada
This story of working for an unbearable fashionista boss may be familiar to most of you by now, but I loved gruaig_rua's take on it: "Andrea Sachs goes to work for Miranda Priestly, the all-powerful editor of Runway magazine. Turns out Miranda is quite the bossyboots. That's pretty much the extent of the novel, but it's plenty. Miranda's behavior is so insanely over-the-top that it's a gas to see what she'll do next, and to try to guess which incidents were culled from the real-life antics of the woman who's been called Anna 'Nuclear' Wintour."

Educating Esme
I've always wanted to read this book by Esme Codell, and Linda McP's pick of the book has me further convinced. She wrote: "In this diary of her first year of teaching in an inner city public school, Codell shares her triumphs and sorrows and in doing so adds value to what is becoming one of the growing number of books about surviving against the odds. Educators and policy makers alike will find value in reading her daily entries."

Oscar Nominee: The Devil Wears Prada for Best Costumes

BuzzSugar — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 08:38:03 -0800

Every week up until the Oscars, I'll be featuring the nominees in the various visual categories. Last week, I started with cinematography, and this week I'll be looking at the nominees for best costumes. First up: the highly coveted wardrobe of The Devil Wears Prada. The tall order of outfitting the characters in this flashy, high-fashion film fell to Patricia Field, best known for her edgy work on Sex and the City, and she really did rise to the occasion. To see a gallery of fashion from The Devil Wears Prada, read more

Some of these non-romantic couples took care of each other; others practically defined the word "catfight." Which movie duo deserves an Oscar this year?

What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 08:18:30 -0800

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I'll sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.

The Devil Wears Prada
There's very little about this movie that's deep, but then again, that's precisely the point. This skewering of the cutthroat fashion-mag industry features a frighteningly good performance by Meryl Streep, lots of quotable one-liners ("I'm just one stomach flu away from my ideal weight."), and plenty of fashion eye candy.

Tallageda Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Will Ferrell's turn as racecar driver Ricky Bobby is inconsistent at best, but in its scattered moments of brilliance, this movie is a silly yet sharp parody of the corporate-sponsored culture of NASCAR. It tells the story of Bobby and his buddy, Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly), as they face a French Formula 1 driver played by Sacha Baron Cohen of Borat fame. The interplay between Ferrell and Reilly alone makes this movie worth watching.

One more, so read more

John Waters: This Filthy World
The world may be filthy, and John Waters is doing his part to keep it that way. He proves that in this documentary, directed by Jeff Garlin of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." The film chronicles two nights of the edgy and often hilarious one-man comedy show staged by the notorious filmmaker behind Hairspray and other cult favorites.
