Wed, 29 Aug 2001 11:52:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author glomarrone - Talk is a two-year old magazine that's slick, trendy and gossipy. The 216-page magazine covers what's hot, new and exciting in the world of fashion, entertainment and politics. Shorter articles cover books, art, movies, and music. Many sections are...

mags-Talk: Tina Brown's New Vanity Fair is Talk Magazine

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 19:13:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author minamarie - I enjoyed Tina Brown's editor-ship while she was at Vanity Fair. So, TALK magazine was a publication I was interested in subscribing.

mags-Talk: A Different Type of Celebrity Magazine

Wed, 27 Dec 2000 20:33:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Rocketgirl - Normally I shun any kind of celebrity gossip magazine and news magazine. This magazine combines both types together, so isn't quite as obnoxious as the two separate types. I picked a couple copies of this up recently out of curiosity because I had not...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheSmartTraveler - While waiting for my wife at the doctor's office, I was actually surprised to find articles that were interesting and stimulating in this magazine.

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 00:04:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kanike2000 - Recently I responded to an online political poll. The award for doing so, was a year's subscription to 3 magazines. One of my choices was a new magazine I hadn't heard of before. Reading the description of Talk intrigued me enough to try it out, and...

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 21:00:05 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author keithpruitt - There seems to be a deluge of new magazines hitting the stands now a days, like there just aren't enough to go around. As I was going through our lounge area of work the other day, I was stopped in my tracks by a picture of an adorable Tom Cruise...

mags-Talk: It's like "People" only with bigger words!

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 13:04:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pcomsec - With all the magazines I have subscriptions to, I actually plunked down $3.50 for this one. (I’m a sucker for those free 90 day trial periods!) Why you ask? Angelina Jolie on the cover of the June/July 2000 issue. “I’m Madly In Love With This Man And...

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 17:15:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Lambira - This installment of He Said, She Said finds mgreber and I taking a break from gender politics to find something that is ostensibly appealing to both sexes. Since it was my turn to pick, I wandered past the newsstand and was shocked when I spotted...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author drlampl - Talk is a new magazine that concentrates on long articles with people who have interesting things to say. Politicos, celebrities, people in the news. There are interviews and articles on popular culture, politics, medicine, technology, fashion, the...

mags-Talk: Talk Needs To Walk.

Thu, 3 Feb 2000 21:49:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author treedown02 - After searching on a few magazine sites, I saw an ad to purchase 12 issues of Talk for $9.95. Learning that it was a fairly new magazine and seeing the issue of Robin Williams on the cover I thought it would be a good magazine for myself and two teenage...

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 16:27:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daddym - This is not the type of magazine that I normally prefer to read but, one of the many point sites I do was offering points if you ordered a Free Trial of this magazine. I like points and I like Free so I clicked the little button and shortly after the...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Hunter_19 - I don't know about you people, but in my area <JAX, FL> I am very lucky that I have a CD Player! The reason being is that I USED to listen to the radio quite often. Now it seems like everytime I turn on the radio all that is on is ADVERTISING! I...

mags-Talk: "Talk" is to tacos as "People" is to Cheetos.

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 01:07:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SusanJO - We discovered *Talk* when my husband bought it to read on a plane. Now, understand me -- we are intellectual semi-snobs. Our other magazine choices are Harpers (not Harper's Bazaar) and The New Yorker. *Talk* magazine satisfies our need for frivolity...

mags-Talk: Talk, talk, talk, ok shut-up

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 16:37:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author that-guy - Ever really want a member of the opposite sex, then get to know their shallow, irritating side? Well, Talk needs to be dumped, no matter how shiny it may be.

The magazine looks striking, black, white, and red. And has so much promise, with...

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 16:19:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Tarasrvnet - Talk is: Intelligent, witty, long, judgmental, and true.

mags-Talk: Talk is cheap, and worthless...

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 00:49:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tamtot - I love a good magazine. I don't ask for much. Interesting articles, interesting people, fairly decent photos. What I don't look for in a magazine, but found abundant in the latest issue of TALK magazine, are excessive amounts of foul language, nudity...

mags-Talk: Don't Talk, please!

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 23:13:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author boir4 - There are so many of those celebrity magazines out there today: People, Entertainment Weekly... do we really need another one? Apparently so, and a bad one at that. The newly constructed Talk magazine has entered the celebrity bullsh1t game, and really...

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 00:51:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author demosthenes - I don't know what all the carping is about - perhaps people just don't like seeing Tina Brown succeed after her overhauls of Tatler, Vanity Fair, and the New Yorker - but Talk is actually a pretty good mag. After all the buildup last year leading up to...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Beauregard - I admit it, I was sucked into the whole frenzy of the first issue with the Hillary Clinton interview, and ordered a year's subscription for $12. I have two major complaints about Talk.

Fri, 31 Dec 1999 12:57:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jeffakira - After captivating articles on George W. Bush and the first lady, Talk magazine, intended originally to be somewhat of a hybrid of Vanity Fair and the New Yorker, has fallen heavily towards the Vanity Fair side. The pictures are captivating, always...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kornell_911 - What can I say about Talk magazine?

I open the December 1999/January 2000 issue and find that a large portion of the magazine is dedicated to advertisements. But there are not as many ads in this magazine as say GQ, Vogue or other fashion...

mags-Talk: Talk: the lost art of conversation is still lost.

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 04:57:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Godai-kun - Now that the furor over Hillary's inane attempt at amateur psychoanalysis in the premiere issue has faded into the past, we have a chance to review Tina Browns' _Talk_ on a wider scale. Frankly, this is an appalling magazine, despite its occassional...

mags-Talk: A conversation with whom?

Sat, 11 Dec 1999 21:09:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jamesadell - There is some fine individual journalism in this magazine, but the overall package is a jumbled mess. What precisely is the "Conversation" section trying to do? It is one of the most impenetrable sections I have ever read -- or shall I say...

mags-Talk: A disappointment

Fri, 5 Nov 1999 05:25:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author AndyMattson - The third issue of Talk has a dozen pages of advertisements before you even get to the the table of contents, which, by the way, is extremely underwhelming. After seeing this, I cancelled my Talk subscription.

The first issue had an excellent (and...
