It’s been a while since one passed by but Adam over at one man and his blog has tagged me with a meme.
Do you still read magazines? Do you pick up a daily newspaper? Or have you moved entirely online. Andrew of Engagement 101 challenged me to list the three magazine I would subscribe to in printed form.
And then he passed the challenge on.
So here are my three (four)
Cinefex
Cinefex is a US magazine specialises in detailed articles about the special effects in movies. great pictures and in-depth text tells the story of how grown-ups can spend hours having more fun than is legal.
This taps in to the geek, kid and jealous wage slave in me. I would love to be doing this kind of stuff. Essential wish fulfillment and perhaps the very definition of niche magazine.
Sight and Sound
I love film. Normally the bolder and brahser the better - I like my film escapist. But unlike the bigger brasher film mags Sight and Sound is always consistently readable from cover to cover.
Mac Format
I like macformat because its a mac magazine in the sense that it’s glossy and nice but not as empty as those icreate ones and interesting but not as occasionally dry like MacUser. It’s a bit more hands- on. Although to be fair it would be close run thing. I’d pick up either at the newstand.
Private Eye
I do subscribe to this magazine (is it a magazine). It feeds my cynical world view and though it sometimes isn’t funny - please stop with the yobs and the premiershits already. - it is always an interesting read.
So there you go Adam. Tagged and bagged (without the celophane and annoyoning ads)

Surely “mac user” should read Mac Format? Apologies for nitpicking, but it’s what I do best.

Nit pick away. Despite being told by Adam I still missed that one
