• As long as the L.A. Times treat the movie and tv business as just another “art” form it will always be bogged down in nuance and not the meat of “the industry”. The Times wants to play in the arena but doesn’t have the fortitude to take on the same individuals/companies that are some of the very few still buying major advertising in a dying medium. Rehash long time employees, repackage the same fish wrap and in the end it is still fish wrap

• Lisa Fung is a solid, meticulous editor and is certainly not lacking in humor. No one could survive at the LAT without it.

• Can she be humorless but good at her job? It’s hard to laugh when the entire newspaper industry is OVER!

• Love it, Nikki Finke calls someone humorless. THAT is comedy.

• Who is your source on humorless? Someone who didn’t like being edited? She’s a consummate pro and very even-keeled.

• As a freelance writer who has worked with Lisa Fung for what seems decades, she is one of the wittiest and funniest people I know. We laugh a lot. Maybe it’s the drugs?
