Bottom-Line : I subscribe to `` Interview Magazine '' but I will not be renew my subscription . I have be make a conscience effort of late to expand my horizon , to get out of -lrb- magazine reading -rrb- comfort zone . to that end I have cast my reading net out from the usual news rag , and start read a new diverse set of magazine , include Esquire , Ebony , Business Week , US , People , Popular Science , Jet , Car & driver , essence , laptop magazine , Travel & leisure , cook , and `` Interview Magazine '' , just to name a few . for a person like I who usually frequent the aforementioned news magazine , `` Interview Magazine '' be like a culture shock . first off the magazine be large ; larger in fact than any magazine you might find on the newsstand or in the local chain book store with the exception of Rolling Stone . second the magazine be print on thick paper stock , which have a gritty feel to it ; say good-bye to glossy and hello to matte and muted color . `` Interview Magazine '' feature advertisement , wall to wall advertisement ; the interview with up-and-coming and established celebrity intersperse throughout the page of the magazine seem almost coincidental . I be currently read the April 2007 issue , with a large invite picture of Liv Tyler on the front cover . to the magazine credit it do try and cover the full spectrum of entertainment from fashion to music , from art to the movie and place in between . most of the interview -- especially those do on up-and-coming star and starlet 's -- be mere snapshot of the person personal and or professional life ; there be little sink my proverbial intellectual , or even mildly interested tooth into . there be just enough there to try and goad I into find out more . the in-depth interview be a lot more fulfil ; most of these be do by other celebrity ; for instance in this issue Rose McGowan be interview by Quentin Tarantino , and Liza Minnelli interview musician Gerald Way . past issue have follow this same formulum , with mostly good result , mean I have enjoy the interview and image . but the one huge downside to `` Interview Magazine '' be its slavish devotion to advertising . in fact the first 50 page of this issue be devote to wall-to-wall cut edge , youth-inspired clothing and fragrance advertising . the masthead of the magazine be stick somewhere with this advertising soup , but the table of contents do not show up until one third of the magazine be leaf through -- very annoying ! not only that , but every celebrity image be accompany by a solid paragraph on who make what they be wear , who style they hair , who do they make-up , and incredibly , what fragrance they happen to be wear during the shoot ! be this a example of advertising run amok , or be I be far too sensitive and demand in want `` Interview Magazine '' to at least be a magazine and not a run-on poster board for the chic and impossibly unfettered youth of America -lrb- New York City -rrb- and Europe be wear ? but so many magazine follow this advertisement-on-every-page formulum ; be this the new norm , and should I get use to it ? I could in `` Interview Magazine 's '' case if most of the writing be not so rush and devoid of substance . this be something I allude to above ; sound-bite have they place , but not inside the cover of a magazine name `` Interview Magazine '' , where I at least expect to learn something more about a artist than where they be discover , they age , or how often they frequent Starbucks . it be call substance and `` Interview Magazine '' just do not have enough to justify its larger than life existence . I subscribe to `` Interview Magazine '' but I will not be renew my subscription ; in this case my bid to broaden my horizon find a mostly vapid landscape full of waste paper , muted color , and questionable prose .
