The political epicenter has shifted from Iowa to New Hampshire, right next door. The state is erupting in general chaos as the politicians who are still in the race are fighting for attention.
Protest over national vs. regional chains, the never-ending debate over the place of cars and bicycles in our metropolises, professional sports scandals, remembering a solemn day, and being issued a search warrant - it all happened across our sites this week! Another banner week at Chicagoist started off with daily reports from food writer Lisa Shames on her attempt to eat only locally grown and raised foodstuffs all week as part of a farmers market...
We don't know about where you are, but it seems like spring can't decide whether or not to happen. Some days are warm, some days are cold, and sometimes you aren't sure which. Baseball may have started up (and soccer/football winding down) but it still seems cold out there. Unless it's not. Anyways, onto the -ists. Austinist happily anticipated fall's Austin City Limits, even though they're not fully recovered from South By Southwest. In...
The Harris Center for Eating Disorders presents Thin at the Brattle Theater. The movie will screen at 7:00 tonight, and director Lauren Greenfield and Dr. David Herzog will hold a Q&A afterward. Photographer and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield, who explored "Girl Culture" in her last work, is in town to screen her documentary about women suffering from eating disorders - the timing is right now that we've seen all the lollipop-headed women parading up Oscar's...
When it comes to Oscar fashion, we prefer to watch the red carpet arrivals on mute. Bostonist doesn't care who people were wearing. Bostonist doesn't care for the backstory. We just care whether or not people look good.
It's finally here. The feature film that brought traffic snarls and gaping tourists and residents to scene location across the Hub is finally hitting theaters today. The Departed opens nationwide tonight. They didn't have the premier in Boston as was originally planned – instead NYC got the red carpet for the movie. A film by Scorsese with a fair amount of star power is the recipe for a flash forward this week – we'll be watching next year when the Oscar nominations come out for this year's films. Posted below you'll find the trailer. If you can't make it to the theater this weekend we're pretty sure you can already grab a cam version of the movie from any number of torrent sites out there. Not that we would know anything about downloading movies.
Torontoist throws down the gauntlet and challenges all comers: pillow fight, bitch. They also stand up for a fellow blogger taking heat from the TTC and welcome city-wide WiFi. SFist can finally admit it: It's possible that Bary Bonds juiced. Is Bay Area artist (tempted to put quotes around that) Thomas Kinkaid "kinda crappy" or "explosively crappy" or does he just like marking territory? SFist wonders. Technology comes in the form of new Mac goodness...
On December 1, 1981 the first AIDS (SIDA in several languages) diagnosis was made. Today, in rememberance of that date of diagnosis, is World AIDS Day 2005. Before that science had provided no explanation for a rapidly increasing death. By 1986 donated blood has been routinely screened for HIV. In a practice of questionable morals and rationale, the Red Cross would not accept blood donations from persons who had engaged in homosexual acts (some chapters have changed this practice). Since 198,7 and the first United Nations AIDS program sponsored World AIDS Day, awareness become greater, treatments have become stronger, but the mystery of HIV/AIDS still remains unsolved.
Wednesday night marked the launch of Boston Common magazine with a blowout, star-studded event at the Boston Center for the Arts’ Cyclorama in the South End. Perhaps “star-studded’ is a stretch, but by Boston standards, it was an impressive showing. Celebrities included: Steven Tyler (Boston Common cover star); Christopher Reid (event MC, and yes, Kid of Kid ‘n Play fame); Daniel Sunjata (actor, FX’s Rescue Me); Doc Rivers (Boston Celtics head coach); Todd English (celebrity...
