I thought I'd just post something random that I was doing right now-watching these. Im a big movie freak and these are some of my favorites. I loooooove these movies, if you havent seen them yet I suggest you rent them and watch them NOW! But let me warn you, they do make you teary-eyed. 






And it’s chock-full of great fashion and rising stars. Shot by David Sims, the cover features indie fave Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is taking his career to the next level with two very different summer blockbusters. We check in with Ashley Olsen, who is all grown up now and has fully made the transition from child star to savvy businesswoman with The Row, the luxury fashion line she commands with her sister Mary-Kate, which is introducing its first men’s collection this fall. Porn star Sasha Grey, the star of Steven Soderbergh’s new film The Girlfriend Experience provides another, more controversial example of a woman in control of her brand identity. Karl Lagerfeld highlights some of the classic elements in this fall’s men’s collections, while Terry Tsiolis captures thirteen of the most progressive designers working today. Bruce Weber strips summer down to its very essence with a series of postcards from the beaches of Miami, while Cedric Buchet swathes the season in layers of fabric in a windswept desert story. Mark Abrahams offers a series of stunning portraits of eight talented young actors on the rise, including Diego Luna, Anton Yelchin, Ben Barnes, and more. And we visit Francis Ford Coppola, the new stars of the hit British TV series Skins, the London buzz band S.C.U.M., and many more. This is your pass to summer—don’t miss it!
Andy AWarhol is one of those rare public personalities that keep generating fanatical obsession for years after they're gone. When it was published three years ago, Phaidon's Andy Warhol "Giant Size" offered an effectively literal remider of the weight of Warhols carrer, tipping the scale at more than fiffteen pounds and measuring seventeen inches by thirteen. While this grandiosity was appropriately Warholian, it also made the book difficult to read. But now Phaidon is reissuing the book in a more manageable, more portable format, with an eminently recession-era price to match ($49.95 down from the $125 original price). Inspired by the artist latest excess, "Giant Size" provides a chronological history of the major events, people, works, and moments in Warhol’s life in a manner that offers testament to their enormous influence on him. Warhol was an infamous pack rat who kept even the most trivial souvenirs, from restaurant receipts to postcards; for “Giant Size,” Phaidon’s editors were granted unprecedented access to his private collections, producing a dense, colorful, blurb-filled guide to his life. Often, the memorabilia provides hitherto-unseen visual explanations of the inspiration behind Warhol’s famous works: The layout for his iconic iconic “Mao” series, for example, also includes trinkets from his 1982 trip to China—passport, boarding pass, hotel souvenirs, etc. Also of note are written contributions by vaunted Warhol insiders, including Bruno Bischofberger (his gallerist and the cofounder of Interview magazine), fellow pop artist Ronnie Cutrone, (famous for large-scale portraits of Felix the Cat, the Pink Panther, and Woody Woodpecker), and biographer David Dalton.
