Ah premiere! I LOVED that magazine! For awhile it was part of my Big Three; Entertainment weekly (the everyman magazine), Movieline (the bitchy one!), and Premiere (which always seemed the most legit). I always felt "in the know" about what was coming out in film.

I subscribed for the first couple of years ... and I really liked the miniature movie poster cards that used to be included inside.

Can't say I'll miss it -- especially since there are so many more outlets from daily newspapers to Web sites and blogs devoted to film.

It seems like nearly most every film special effect done today is CGI.
