MAD MEN on AMC - Season 6

The Planet of the Apes part of the episode was my favorite part, because I love that movie and it made me think a bit more about the context in which it was released.

Also it was a great illustration of the power of fiction; it made Bobby engage with the issues of his his era far more than the news possibly could.

yeah i'm not sure what it added up to but the mix of assassinations/rioting-perceived-as-apocalyptic and a film that actually broaches the issue of apocalypse was kind of heady here. like a nice piece of film criticism in a way. i wish mad men would operate on that level more often instead of tossing about little "interpret-able" teasers for the "day-after-blog-response" crowd.

ha i just remembered why i left ilx. i guess i'll go away again. have fun folks.

Don's just missing Sylvia, is all. Has he ever been so mopey over any of the other women?

He's not mopey over Sylvia ffs, it's a mixture of grim sexual compulsion and rampant self-loathing.

He's probably pretty disgusted by the fact his son is growing up to look like Pete Campbell as well.

Yeah one thing that I took from this ep was Don's compulsive behavior being paralleled by Bobby peeling the wallpaper, then hiding it out of shame.

just a friendly reminder! have fun

lmao i love this

gif of bob benson walking by with the coffees plz

hehe pete's life is a disaster

i don't think joan should have been mad at don. don's not the one who wanted her to sleep with that slimeball, so it wasn't hypocritical for him to stand up to that dude when he felt insulted. that was one of the few times when he was not being a slimeball iirc

Poor Peggy!

well I suppose losing jaguar at that particular moment theoretically cost joan like $1 million didn't it?

pete vs trudy is going to be so entertaining

megan's mother is hilarious. cliché but hilarious

yeah peggy did not look happy at all

I have no words for how much I loved this bit.

haha i said "petefallingdownstairs.gif" the moment i saw that thing.

i loved don's "or I just had the most boring dream ever"

also those cars at the GM headquarters

:D

:D

was wondering if GM did anything exciting in 1969 and found this:

petefallingdownstairs.gif was great, but "she is the apple in the pig's mouth" made me laugh harder.

Glad they went with this instead of sending them to Ford to do advance work on the Pinto.

Oh wow, found this blog about vintage Chevy ads by one of their old agency guys. It hasn't been updated in about 3 1/2 years, but still there are almost 300 entries for the curious to explore.

also that bob dude is corp spy yn

adored this episode. megan's mother, roger back to his wily ways, pete's general exasperatedness, cooper asking for spirits of elderflower - so many highlights

spirits of elderflower = St Germain

Mmmm.

which is splendid in a martini with thin slices of cucumber and a dash of lime.

Also makes a beautiful margarita.

Pete was top notch this week - just waiting for smoke to start billowing out of his ears

felt like there were plenty of lolz this episode but it also seemed really all over the place, kind of slapdash

OMG Joan in this opening scene you are KILLING ME.

her being all buddy-buddy with Pete was kind of gross imho

Joan looking very 1968 in that scene. Can probably count on one hand the number of times she's worn her hair down over the entire series.

i found the way pete practically spit out the race of his father-in-law's prostitute to be an interesting juxtaposition with his reaction to the mlk assassination last week

Expected, morelike.

Pete's politics are completely self-serving, no mystery there

Roger stuffing his carryon bag w/copies of Sterling's Gold.
