Sterling Cooper Draper Whatever wouldn't know how to market items sending such mixed signals`

What I was referring to

most cherubic couple ever

season five is up on netflix instant now

HAMMACONDA

Almost recognize him--oh which one is he, the guy who is the TV specialist at the agency, also talked (and funded) the other guy into taking his Star Trek script to Hollywood, leaving Hare Krishnas? http://www.vanityfair.com/online/oscars/2013/03/mad-men-season-six-photos-fashion/_jcr_content/par/cn_contentwell/par-main/cn_blogpost/cn_image.size.mad-men-season-6-rich-sommer.jpg

Harry Crane

found him the least interesting/most totally unsympathetic character until that Trek episode

you can not let go of that guy

there's to be a 'significant time jump' this time supposedly. i wonder if that means the final season will be set in the 1970s?

final season to be set in the 2070's

would be pretty amazing if it was set in like, 1987

1991 and it opens with Draper walking down the street to this

But then Bert would have to be 110 or something.

FEEL IT FEEL IT

predict Bert will die this season when he accidentally strangles himself with his own suspenders

his whole face will invaded by his eyebrows

Jon Hamm would like everyone to stop talking about his nether regions. After a report surfaced claiming his manhood had become a distraction on the set of "Mad Men" due the show's tight '60s-era trousers, the actor is speaking out about the matter to Rolling Stone. "Most of it's tongue-in-cheek, but it is a little rude," he told the mag. "They're called 'privates' for a reason... I'm wearing pants, for f***'s sake. Lay off." The actor admitted that his life in the spotlight (and online shenanigans regarding his crotch) are not the worst thing in the world to deal with. "I mean, it's not like I'm a f***king lead miner. There are harder jobs in the world," he said. "But when people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my c***, I feel like that wasn't part of the deal." But is there a silver lining to having your goods talked about so much? "But whatever, I guess it's better than being called out for the opposite," he added.

looking forward to the "John Hamm's Cock Looking At Things" tumblr...

I like how he specifies pants but not underwear

Jon Hamm's cock could not be reached for comment

Christina Hendricks' Boobs to John Hamm's Cock: "Not so much fun, being the center of attention, huh?"

1991 and it opens with Draper walking down the street to this

Otoh, 70 year old Roger Sterling dropping ecstasy...

don puts on loveless, we get a montage to 'soon', takes it off - he doesn't get it.

haha

Haha!

hope Pete murders someone

hope Pete murders Don and then assumes his identity

Mad Men is a prequel to Face/Off

I could talk a pitch for hours.

^^^

SCDP produces informercial that's just 30 minutes of Peggy riding a Rascal around in circles

sally draper is the best

She looked great -- like a Mannerist painting.

Almost stopped watching with Draper reading Dante on the beach.

that was a little much

also betty just now

god she and Jones are like dust settling on a table

somewhat traumatized by this cooking show promo showing all kinds of dead fish/animals just now

amc, walter white just doesn't belong in the inspiring, uplifting version of the ad for your network

anyway, i'm so glad peggy is still in the show a lot. she sounded a lot like don talking to headphones guy at that meeting

god the period 1967-1978 was terrible for formal wear.

This episode's laying it on thick.

did that scene just now happen in a russian novel

this show does v well-timed pukes

i know it's way premature, but this is feeling a bit off - not as confident in itself or something.

betty is so odd, i love it

I've in love with David Eisenhower, er, Ken Cosgrove.

That's a harsh read. Do you think it was really meant as a condemnation of Draper on that scale?

just to clarify, i don't think Weiner (as his post-finale interviews made clear) would be on board 100% with my reading. but i do think the contradictions of Don's character as expressed in the finale are consciously present throughout the series--i think any viewer who stuck with the whole run of the show would agree that the spark of empathy in Don (which was continually denied or misdirected) is what kept him from becoming a despicably self-involved and monotonously self-destructive character. I also think Pete repeats this dynamic in a more comic register. It's very Sopranos in the sense that the better angels of the characters are usually defeated, or in the more hopeful cases a kind of equilibrium is achieved with the good and the bad.

You see Pete as emphatic, too? Most of his plots that I remember involve him trying not to be awful, and usually falling very short. But I do love what they did with that character. He's the closest thing the show had to a villain in the beginning, and they turn him into one of its most sympathetic characters without really redeeming him at all. (Maybe that's just plotting, though: after the first season the plots rarely put him at odds with any of the main characters the way they did at first).

i thought the whole final two seasons were just him giving up at his job and not even trying anymore.

yeah but i don't think that made him happy, thus the show's climax

don draper went in search of himself, found nothing he liked, returned to the thing that made sense on some level

Joan: "Can we continue with the billings?"
Meredith: "Yes."
Joan: "Where were we?"
Meredith: "'Meredith, why don't you step out?'"
Joan: "Well?"
Meredith: "Oh."

Two characters I love who only show up intermittently but were around for pretty much the show's entire run: Mona, Roger's wife, and his secretary Caroline. IMDB has Mona listed for 13 episodes from 2007-2014 (one more than Bob Benson, two fewer than Rachel Menken, Freddie Rumsen, Jane Sterling, Jim Cutler, and Carla); Caroline has fewer seasons (2010-2015) but more episodes, 20 (exactly the same as three other prominent secretaries, Alison, Meredith, and Hildy--weird). Something I completely missed until I started looking at credits: Teyonah Parris, who played Dawn, played the lead character in Chi-Raq.

Mona + Caroline are both wonderful

Mona strikes me as a version of two of '66/'67's iconic female movie characters, Elizabeth Taylor in Virginia Woolf and Anne Bancroft in The Graduate. But she feels more real to me.

The Roger-Peggy interplay in Season 7A's final two episodes (too lazy to switch threads) is phenomenal: dancing to "My Way," Don handing over the Burger Chef presentation to Peggy, Peggy's presentation. It's nice, after so much debauchery and instances of letting everyone in his life down, to see Don recapture some of his stature from the first couple of seasons (not that he wasn't philandering around then, but there was something a lot more solid there). Peggy bringing her neighbor's boy into her presentation is such a Don touch.

The actress who plays Mona, Talia Balsam, is John Slattery's wife in real life.

Had no idea. Just looked her up, and it's even more interesting than that: Martin's daughter (suspected that might be true), also George Clooney's ex-wife.

and dick van patten's niece!

Saw Bombshell today. Both Duck Phillips and Lou Avery are in it...it's almost like they raided Mad Men when they were casting for creeps.

"You know who else they laughed at?"
"You?"

one of my fave exchanges from the show

Forgot about Woke Pete

Kartheiser is grossly underrated as an actor I think

what kind of monster watches dramas with motion smoothing on

Harry, probably.
