Happy 13th Year Anniversary To The You've Got Mail Website, Still Going Strong

A tipster tells us that he "just ran across the original, official You've Got Mail website" (how does this happen?), and it's still functional, offering up a time capsule into website design circa 1998. We just spent ten minutes going down the rabbit hole, a journey that begins here. For the full experience, you are going to want to click on the "here" where it reads: "if you have Flash click the logo or here to enter the site." Definitely do not skip the intro, it really sets the tone. more ›

Against Our Will Will Gothamist See This

Against Our Will Will Gothamist See This

Gothamist was sick of the trailers of the new Meg Ryan film, Against the Ropes, the moment we first saw them, oh, sometime last summer. Now, after the release has been pushed back about five times in the past year, which confirmed it was a stinker, we get to be ill seeing a slouchy Meg shuffle around in tight clothes and her ironed hair. But the first sentence from an advance review from Variety almost makes it worth it:
Think of "Against the Ropes""Against The Ropes" as a "Rocky" story -- if, that is, the vintage is somewhere between "Rocky IV" and "V," and the action centered around the Burgess Meredith character as played by Meg Ryan wearing "Barbarella" outfits.
Against the Ropes opens this Friday. more ›

60 Thom bombs

60 Thom bombs

According to the Times, 60 Thom is stirring up beef with its neighbors on Thompson Street between Spring and Broome. I live one block up, and often pass by while various black limos are disgourging the rich and famous (and their scurrying assistants) in front of the hotel. The neighbors are saying that the hotel is destroying the quality of life in the neighborhood, which, defying all the laws of physics, had until now defied the gentrification and putrification that has affected the rest of SoHo. All the usual complaints are alleged- noise, rats, construction violations. I'd like to add a few of my own: more ›

Water, water, everywhere

Water, water, everywhere

H2OThis comes as no new news: you should drink more water, but the Daily News treats it as so. Yahoo!Health says similarly. Make-up artist Sue Devitt once mentioned that when working on Meg Ryan's make-up, she could feel the "hydration" in Meg Ryan's skin. A good thing, one guesses. But is there something such as drinking too much water? Maybe.
