The Death of the Art House

By By Rachel Adams • February 17, 2008

During the final weeks of January, in the shadow of Sundance with all its hype and glory, Trolley Square Cinemas crept quietly into a corner and died. Yes, I'm going to be melodramatic about it.

By By Clayton Norlen and Alexandra Gregory • February 17, 2008

Dear He Says, She Says, I've been dating this guy for a while now, but we don't really connect on an intellectual level. Every time I try to talk to him about our relationship or issues I'm having with friends and family, he goes back to his sports game! I tried making him jealous with a shrine to Zac Efron and hid it in my lingerie drawer (unfortunately, my boyfriend never goes in there anyway).
