So you have decided to get married, you are in love and want to spend the rest of your days in each others arms. Congratulations! But wait… have you  thought about all the legal issues that are entangled in getting married? I thought not, I bet you thought that putting your signature to that piece of paper was all there was to it – the contract to eternal happiness. Well you are right – but have you thought about the other contracts that should have your signature on? i.e. the agreement that will warrant that your happiness will not end even if the marriage does.

This is thinking long term; I mean what happens if (hypothetically speaking of course) you and your spouse decide to get divorced, or even worse, one of you passes away? How are you going to keep that green eyed monster at bay? You know the one that goes ” That is mine, and so is that; and I want; I want, I want! “

SYNOPSIS:

His playboy antics have allowed him the experience of many women but no love, until one day when he meets Charlotte Fielding (Winona Ryder).

HIS REVIEW:

Autumn in New York is a touching romantic drama that will bring a few tears to many eyes in the theater.

This new chick movie’s plot is the normal overly-done plot like most chick flicks of boy meets girl….you know the rest. Autumn in New York doesn’t

(b. 1942) Born a Connecticut WASP, Betsey Johnson made a name for herself in the ’60s designing clear vinyl dresses, silvery motorcycle suits, and other groovy threads for the youthquakers who shopped at Paraphernalia, the trendy New York-based boutique chain. She opened her own company in 1978, and weathered countless trends by sticking to a distinctive funky, vaguely vintage sensibility, producing lighthearted, inexpensive clothes and reviving her own ’60s and ’70s styles as the looks resurfaced. Apt to begin her manic runway shows by cartwheeling down the catwalk in a tutu, bright red braids and hair extensions flying, Johnson thrives on spectacle, but take away her models’ nose rings, platform combat boots, and ripped fishnet stockings, and many of her floral-printed baby-dolls and princess-style dresses are sweet enough for a junior high school dance.

Lower East Side, Manhattan, scene created by young punk-influenced songwriters emerging during the mid-’80s in opposition to the folk establishment. Named after the Akira Kurosawa film The Hidden Fortress, the Fort was opened in 1987 by the singer known as Lach.

The venue gave stage time to mainly white, middle-class performers like Brenda Kahn, Cindy Lee Berryhill, Paleface, Michelle Shocked, cartoonist David Chelsea, King Missile’s John S. Hall, and Beck.

(b. 1956) Perennially quotable, youthfully accoutred Scottish professor hired from Princeton in 1993 to direct American Studies at New York University. Ross, once said he taught at Princeton “to have access to the minds of the children of the ruling class”, helped pioneer the field of cultural studies; he now presents himself as an implacable enemy of empiricism and an enthusiastic banner-waver for subcultural styles.

As an editor of the journal Social Text, Ross found his agent-provocateur confidence temporarily checked in May, 1996, when he accepted for publication a postmodern critique of scientific method that turned out to be a parody by NYU physicist Alan Sokal. 

“Sourcebook of the Extremes of Information in Print,” which started as a mail-order operation in 1985, and then went retail in 1987 in L.A. Along with its stock of Burroughs, Bowles, and Bataille, Amok stocks intriguing tomes like The Sniper’s Handbook, The Color Atlas of Oral Cancers, and Physical Interrogation Techniques, plus videos ranging from autopsies to Hitler speeches–anything, in fact, to épater le bourgeoisie.

The store added to its notoriety in 1989 by organizing an exhibition of then-convicted serial killer John Wayne Gacy’s chillingly innocent “Pogo the Clown” paintings and Bob Flanagan’s “Nailed” show.

"Aphex Twin" (R & S Records).

Term coined circa 1978 by Brian Eno to describe his forays into drifting instrumental composition. Beginning with the 1975 album Discreet Music, Eno began producing a series of records partially influenced by the piano music of early-century French composer Erik Satie; intended as background music, the discs highlighted tape loops and “treated sounds.”

The combination of fast-paced electronic dance music and Ecstasy that began to dominate clubs worldwide in the late ’80s paradoxically created an appetite for soothing sounds and still surroundings.

"Mister Peepers," Volume 51.

Thanks to the camcorder revolution, by 1991 there were more than 50 companies (most successfully, Homegrown Videos of San Diego) buying up homemade sex tapes from would-be porn stars (many of whom, apparently, favor shag carpeting). The material, bought for between $250 and $2,500, is resold in a business estimated at $3 billion. Celebrating the phenomenon in the New York Times, Camille Paglia declared, “I think amateur adult videos are very positive because people are not letting the priests, the feminists, the therapists tell them what sex should be.” The new amateur video market spun off its own stars (including a Kentucky lawyer who debuted with two carpenters in Mary Lou the Stud Finder), a series of slickly produced amateur magazines (and expanded amateur photo sections in established porn mags),
