Magazine Substitutes!

Hey,

I know I've seen a thread on this somewhere way way back...but does anyone know of any online sites that provide as good a substitute to the more expensive magazines in the shops?

I love reading Total Film and Empire amongst others, but if theres a web equivalent for free I'd be saving myself £10 a month...its a start anyway!


Thanks for any help!

    Both those sites are online and IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes both cover a lot of film stuff too.

  • they're all full of trash, and just make you want to spend more money aspiring to a lifestyle you believe you are entitled to but can't afford.

    In my opinion of course. :D

    I used to spend about the same as you per month on mags. Then I wised up and realised thats it's mostly ads in those glossy mags, and I can read all the truly intersting articles in a typical "monthly" publication in one afternoon.
    Now if I want to read something I go to the library, or read the newspapers that someone at work always buys.

    And if I don't know what the next box office smash is or who britney spears is currently married to then I guess I can live with that :D

  • Rotten Tomatoes looks promising, and digital spy will fill up the 2 hour daily commute nicely! Ta
