Hargreaves, Fowler look to revamp UF defense after loss of veterans

By RICHARD JOHNSON | July 14, 2014

HOOVER, Ala. — Whether it was saying Kentucky being the best road environment he’d experienced in the Southeastern Conference, lauding Jeff Driskel as the best quarterback in college football or admitting Bryan Cox, Jr. actually has the best fade haircut on the team, Vernon Hargreaves III had a whirlwind experience at the 2014 Southeastern Conference media days.

Cultural Spotlight: Photoshop me beautiful

By Pooja Majmundar | July 14, 2014

We live in a world where beauty sells. Movies, magazines and social media revere beautiful people and younger generations stress over having a “hot” face and body. We all have our own idea of what we consider beautiful, but does our perception of beauty differ from that of other countries? I recently came across an interesting article called “See What Happens When a Woman Asks Photoshoppers in Different Countries to 'Make Her Beautiful'” by Nate Jones that highlighted an important point: the idea of beauty differs from culture to culture. What may be considered beautiful in the United States might not be beautiful in Morocco or Indonesia.

Period drama ‘The Immigrant’ opens at the Hipp with ironic take on American Dream

By Jackson Hart | July 12, 2014

By RICHARD JOHNSON | July 9, 2014

I was reminded of 2010 a few nights ago. My memory was thrown back there thanks to an article in The Atlantic about friends who have died, yet still live through Facebook. It is an interesting take on a phenomenon that is now all too real for our ultra plugged-in generation of millennials, including myself. The story prompted me to read back through wall posts and messages of a friend I’d lost, and that brings me to where this summer intersects with that one.

Lauded ‘Ida’ ends Hipp run Sunday

By Niko Pifferetti | July 9, 2014

The 2013 Polish black-and-white film, “Ida”, which will end its two-week run at the Hippodrome State Theatre this Sunday, is both a nuanced study of 1960s Eastern Europe and a coming-of-age film that feels familiar and strange at the same time.
