Prior to turning to fine art in 1998, he was an illustrator for films and video games. But DHS did not get permission to share the image, Weistling…
Writer-director Amy Heckerling’s 1995 comedy “Clueless” is almost twice as old as its heroine, Beverly Hills princess Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone). It’s a period piece now, which is fine, because it’s also true of its inspiration, Jane Austen’s 1816 novel Emma. The teenage characters all have cellular phones, which were rare at that time compared to today. Mona May’s dazzling costumes, which should have been a lock for that year’s Oscar, are mid-90s fashion run through an MTV glam filter and pumped up on steroids, from the brightly colored, plaid-patterned jacket, vest, and skirt ensembles that Cher and her friend…

Not everyone has to love every single genre in the world, but there’s something about sports movies that tends to be a turnoff.
