DVD Tuesday: Weak Week
I understand every criticism of Family Guy, but I still tune in regularly to watch Peter, Cleveland and Quagmire do the same jokes time after time after time. It just makes me laugh. While Friday the 13th may have sucked completely, at least it didn't wuss out and go for a PG-13. Here's to gore and nudity! With the next Transformers film looming, what better time to piggyback a cartoon compilation and get some free marketing buzz? Why can't Tyler Perry use his prodigious business talents for something other than making crappy movies? Why, Jesus? Why? Why? How have I never seen What's Up, Tiger Lily?? Soon to be corrected.

What's Up, Tiger Lily?
Morning Light
What Goes Up continues the new trend of releasing films quickly to video after a brief theatrical run. Too bad it sucks. Twenty years later, I still listen to "Gypsy Road", "Coming Home" and "Don't Know What You Got". In the remarkable, Love and Death on Long Island there is a fake movie called Skid Marks. Obviously, a terrible title for a fake film. Until now. Damn, I miss Andy Kaufman. If you've never seen My Breakfast with Blassie or I'm From Hollywood!, do so immediately. It's heartbreaking that we'll never know what Andy would have done over the last twenty years. I thought that Monsturd was the best | worst title of the year. Correction!

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.
