Realized this once great magazine was on the ropes, when the oscar coverage would be a month old. I was actually planning on cancelling my subscription – guess I don’t need too!

It’s sad, but Premiere pretty much peaked for me in the mid-’90s. It just seemed to be less interesting by 1996. Sad to see it go, but honestly I haven’t read an issue since the late ’90s.
I would be devastated if EW folded. It’s never faltered in its presentation, writing and relevance.

Wow, I’m kind of shocked about this. I was just discussing favorite magazines with my dad and we both mentioned EW and Premiere. Bummer-roo.

Zee’s right – EW, please adopt Libby! It would be awesome, if you ask me…

A little OT, but did MOVIELINE magazine go belly-up too? I can’t recall the last time I saw an issue.

So sad. What I remember most are the early issues with the novel idea of inserting mini cut-out movie posters of the releases for that month. The articles were refreshing. I will sadly miss this magazine.

Premiere noooo! I rather liked seeing it on the newstands and it did have enough different content than EW to keepe me intrigued. They had a lot of uniqute takes on movie star profiles that I enjoyed.

Sad for the people losing their jobs, (but Premiere was better in the late 90s, not so much in recent years). The internet makes articles & gossip/news so instantaneous, this probably just be the first of many to fall (entertainment shows are probably next). Still subscribe to EW (since the beginning, still love it). But if EW continues to publish the EXACT SAME articles in their mag as on their website (which happens lots) think I might save myself the bucks and just read it on-line (this is a BIG HINT to EW..keep both seperate or you could be next). Cuz there’s nothing more irritating that getting my copy of EW to find it contains the SAME article or review that I read online days ago!! Stop that EW!!
