So long, Defamer, and thanks for all the dish.

Defamer’s long-time editor Mark Lisanti is calling it quits, and I mention it because Defamer is one of the first blogs that I ever read with consistency and excitement. His style was always brisk, sarcastic, hilarious and insightful – everything I wanted to be when I decided, a couple years into reading his daily output, that I wanted to blog, too. There were others I admired, of course, but Mark’s work stands out as that of not just a keen observer of Hollywood culture, but of a true fan as well. His voice will be missed. I wish him the best and I send out my admiration and gratitude, specifically for the time he emailed me kind words when I – as a nervous, eager-to-please baby blogger – wrote this.


Not only did the director of Crystal Skull find Michael Bay’s movie to be “awesome”, but in Michael Bay’s opinion, Spielberg might even feel that the movie is perhaps Michael Bay’s best. Awesome news for Michael Bay fans of Michael Bay movies! (
