Website of the Day: Double Feature Finder

GeekSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:45:02 -0800

I'm not one to pay for a movie ticket, then sneak into a second without paying (although I know some people who dabble in the art of creating their own double feature), so finding this website made me both laugh and point my mouse to my bookmark button. Double Feature Finder finds movies that run back to back so you can buy your tickets at the counter on your way into one flick, then head into another without having to go back out to stand in another line.

Just put in the title of the movie that you want to see, and DFF will spit out a list of other flicks that trail your preferred film at the same theater so you can check it out right after. Doing a double feature is perfect for rainy Winter days, or when there are a ton of movies out you just can't stop yourself from seeing in one afternoon. Just beware of your theater's ushers if you don't purchase both tickets beforehand. Don't say I didn't warn you!

What to Download: New Music Today

BuzzSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:00:17 -0800

Welcome to a very special Monday edition of What to Download! Instead of Tuesday, all the hot music releases are happening today. In addition to the dance-floor-ready releases I've handpicked below, Shakira's She Wolf also dropped today.

Good girl gone bad makes good: Rihanna has had a tough year, but if her release of Rated R is any indication, she's ready to pick herself up and be back on top - of the charts, at least. Considering her last album gave us modern classic "Umbrella," I've been trying to sniff out this year's mega-hit. "Hard" probably comes the closest, but while it's catchy, this isn't a candy-coated pop musing. Sounding weary but more mature, Rihanna brings a darkness with her singles, particularly on "Wait Your Turn," probably my favorite on the album. Speaking of dark, "Russian Roulette," a stirring ballad, conjures up gun metaphors for love. Its heaviness, along with the album's, may or may not translate to chart success, but it's a tough, brave declaration that Rihanna isn't going anywhere.

Feel the fame all over again:The Fame Monster is the re-issue of Lady Gaga's debut album The Fame, but has enough new tracks on it to justify all the buzz around it. You'd have to be fighting it pretty hard to not have heard "Bad Romance" - the track and its great hook are exactly what I like to hear from Gaga. But I think the real winner here is going to be "Telephone" - featuring the only diva fierce enough to go head to head with Gaga: Beyonce. If you still need more fuel for your dance party, play "Monster" a few times and you'll be spinning around your room in no time.

See one more new release when you read more.

Worship your glam idol: Kris Allen may have won American Idol, but Adam Lambert is your rock king. For Your Entertainment is as glittery and fun as its crazy cover promises. I've been loving the bouncy, sexy title track since Lambert performed it in his scandalous AMA performance. Swaggering glam rock track "Strut" is more of the same fun, and the fabulously '80s "Music Again" features the capable vocalist hitting high notes like a modern Freddie Mercury.

Robbie Fights For Downloading Rights

PopSugarUK — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 01:16:14 -0700

Ahead of his comeback on Comic Relief, Robbie Williams was out in London yesterday to attend the first meeting of the Featured Artists’ Coalition. The coalition includes Blur, Kate Nash, Radiohead, KT Tunstall, Billy Bragg, White Lies and Robbie, who will be speaking out to ensure that performers and people like us who buy their music have a voice in the relatively new arena of downloading music. Last night Billy said:

"We have to question the music industry’s insistence on criminalising our audiences. They threaten to kick down young people’s doors and take their computers when fans swap music with each other online. How is someone under 20 going to hear Billy Bragg these days? They are not going to hear it on Radio 1 or NME. They are going to hear it through peer to peer recommendations. They are just music fans. They don’t make a profit from it. We have to focus on where people are actually profiting from our music, places like MySpace selling advertising. It’s all rather murky at the moment about where the money is going. We need more transparency in the deals that are made by the record companies. They have put a lockdown on the debate. They are marginalising artists and criminalising fans."

The FAC will also be looking at issues like copyright in the digital age, what do you think about this band of artists coming together to attempt to make a difference to downloading?

Buzz-Worthy Video: How I Met Your Mother's Slap Bet Game

BuzzSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:30:40 -0800

I was excited to see what How I Met Your Mother would cook up for its annual Thanksgiving episode, especially when I saw that this week would feature Chris Elliott as Lily's estranged dad, Mickey Aldrin. We found out why they were estranged (the failed board game entrepreneur was leeching off her grandparents), and watched their relationship be restored over the course of the day.

The best thing to come out of it? Mickey apparently took inspiration from the gang's Slapsgiving tradition to create a new board game: Slap Bet. The hilarious commercial for Slap Bet aired at the end of the show, and features exuberant children slapping each other silly and the tagline "Ya just got slapped!"

Do You Enjoy the "Fittingly Mad" Feature?

FitSugar — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 02:30:00 -0700

Today, instead of doing my usual rant appropriately called Fittingly Mad, which is full of musings about things I find silly in the fitness and health world, I thought I'd try a poll on it instead.

The feature is not meant to be mean, but a funny way to allow us all to joke around about pet peeves that most of us share surrounding health and fitness. Being that I've gotten some negative feedback, I thought it would be a good idea to get your opinion on this weekend feature since I want to keep the site focus on motivation and fun, but certainly not offensive.

So check out all the past Fittingly Mad posts and let me know what you think!

Reader Review of the Day: Cover Girl Trushine Lipstick

BellaSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:00:14 -0800

Cover Girl TruShine Lipstick ($3.50) has earned several good reviews in the community since it came out on the market, and since shiny lips are a holiday must, I thought it might be a good time to share reader mizz_jennii's helpful review. She says:

"I was never a fan of CoverGirl's lip products until I tried this TruShine lipstick yesterday. I was in the market for a nude-ish lipstick and read about this particular color in Glamour magazine so I had to pick it up. I got it on sale for a little under $4 - not too bad! The lipsticks are arranged by skin tone, so picking a shade is a piece of cake. They are very soft and moisturizing - doesn't dry out my lips. I line my lips with Prestige Lip Liner in Silk followed by Petal Shine lipstick and I have the perfect nude-ish pink lip color. I can also swipe it on straight from the tube (without a mirror) and not worrying that it's all over my mouth."

Funny Video! Palin Fans Explain Support!

Oh Gods, this video is both embarrassing and awesome at the same time. I was laughing so hard! The best part of this video was learning that "you never have to compromise when you're right. That's for people that are wrong." That will come in handy in my marriage.

There's lots of great stuff going on in our community - join it, check it out, share your posts or advice in the great groups and maybe we'll feature it here on TrèsSugar!
