These two are great. And Air was a 4.2/5 which is basically excellent. A brilliant movie. Most films are a bit sht atm, this one was exceptionally good to watch, just good vibes/acting/directing.

Sorry but I’ve never understood the hate for Ben. It always struck me as one of those internet things where people just jump on the bandwagon.

  @JaxxStarr81 Oh it is 100% because he is happier, it makes me sad that he’s been sad for so long. I hope he can keep it up.

Always thought it was pretty cool that Kevin Smith gave Affleck his first real lead role and then Affleck went on to also direct as well as play Smith’s hero, BATMAN.

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

November 20, 2024

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
