We’ll Miss You, Mark

In an era when the digital landscape is becoming increasingly Thirty-Mile-Zone-ified, no local writer has ever been able to write so eloquently, seemingly effortlessly, consistently, hilariously, or wholeheartedly insidery about Hollywood and, broader, the entertainment industry as a whole, as Mark Lisanti over the course of the last four years at Defamer, and so it is with not a small pang of sadness that we raise a glass of André - his drink of choice - to his announcement this evening. We wish you nothing but the best. (At the same time, we’ve already put two-and-two together; we, too, saw the recent open call for writers over at LA Taco - another editorial favorite - we’ll keep our eyes glued to both sites just to be safe.)
