Are These TV Shows the "New Classics"?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:30:28 PDT

If you like lists, you should really check out the current issue of Entertainment Weekly, which has tons of No. 1s to debate as they break down the "new classics" in various fields of entertainment. The issue names the best movies, TV shows, movie posters, books, and even theme songs of the past 25 years - an overwhelming amount of information, but also a great read.

I got especially sucked into their list of the 100 New Classic TV Shows. It's pretty impressive that they managed to cover the whole pop-culture spectrum, from high-brow (The Sopranos, The Wire) to low-brow (The Osbournes). Even Saved by the Bell got a spot, albeit the final spot. My main quibbles are with placement: 30 Rock above The Office? Dawson's Creek all the way down at No. 90?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this list, especially because - unlike, say, the AFI movie lists - these are all shows that have actually been on the air in my lifetime. What would you change or move? Is anything missing entirely? Check out the full list, or to see the top 25, just

A No-Fail LWD Outfit For the Minimalist

Noria Morales — Wed, 23 May 2012 03:30:00 PDT

A friend texted me with a fashion favor: "Have a million random parties coming up. Need something easy. Don't want to look like a dork. And want to wear it all the time. Ideas?" I immediately thought of Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscars, in her white Tom Ford gown and cape. Easy. Definitely not dorky. And if we take that general idea and make it casual, we have a wear-it-all-the-time style solution.

The find is a little white dress ($165) from Francisco Costa's minimalist collection for Macy's, styled with gold accessories that look way more expensive than they are. I liked the earthiness of a horn pendant ($20) - and it's a style Gwyneth has worn numerous times. The stud earrings are a new classic, and these are only $10! Since it's the start of Summer and parties are often more casual, I think a gold flat sandal, like this one from Dolce Vita ($169), has an easy elegance that goes just as well with jeans as it does with an LWD. The outfit is effortless, and the grand total is $364. Not bad for an outfit that will get one through "a million random parties" all Summer long.

Cannes Minireview: No

Allie Merriam — Wed, 23 May 2012 03:05:00 PDT

Two hours with Gael García Bernal, anyone? The Mexican actor only made one film last year, the Spanish-language No with director Pablo Larraín. Larraín is a well known in his native Chile, which was been the subject of two of his films so far. No is the third in a planned trilogy about his homeland, and it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this week.

Who's behind it? Director Pablo Larraín rounded up a group of actors he usually works with, including Antonia Zegers and Alfredo Castro, for the project. Bernal came in as his leading man to round out the cast. Sony Pictures Classics has picked up North American distribution rights for No.
What's it about? The picture is set in 1988, the year Chileans were able to vote in a referendum for or against continuing the 16-year dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet. Gael plays René Saavedra, an ad man who accepts the potentially dangerous job of spearheading the TV campaign for the people against Pinochet - those who will vote "no" in the election. He's tasked with finding a unique and novel way to get the message across. René also has some family issues and is focused on raising a young son after separating from his wife.

The majority of people have, at one time or another, bitten their nails. And as anyone who's gotten caught in a cycle of biting can tell you, it can be painfully difficult to stop. Like food cravings or a nervous tic, the longer you hold off, the more anxious and distracted you get. It takes time to develop an alternate outlet for your nervous energy, and in the interim, going cold turkey rarely works. So what's a dyed-in-the-wool biter to do? Just keep reading.
