DVD Tuesday: He Just Wants to Have Sex with You
I'm still angry at how much mileage Greg Behrendt has gotten out of the whole He's Just Not That Into You thingie. Seriously -- this guy is a millionaire because of a fucking phrase! Not only that, but it's a phrase that other people were saying long before this jack-off codified it. It was in common usage for years! It would be like me publishing a book called Who Farted? and suddenly being rich. Don't buy this DVD! Instead, buy Weeds: Season 4 and help honor the American entrepreneur! Looking for a downer evening (or maybe a starting point for the whole "yeah, we should get divorced" conversation")? Revolutionary Road will do the heavy lifting for you.

While Christians around the world celebrate December 25th as the birth of Christ, more intelligent people venerate the equally significant date of March 2nd because that is the day that God Almighty entrusted the earth with his second son, Ben Roethlisberger. If you want to re-live the awesome, uh, march of God's chosen team to their record sixth Super Bowl win, pick up this DVD today (or just come to my house and we'll watch it on my HD DVR). Are there any people who actively dislike Neil Young's music? He seems bullet-proof to me. I still prefer Raw, but Delirious is a good reminder of the days when Eddie Murphy was actually funny.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
