MAD MEN on AMC - Season 6

Cue 'Cats In The Cradle' and pour yourself a scotch, you sad sack of shit.

This should be a bumper sticker.

I'm really tired of Don and/or Matthew Weiner using his childhood as an excuse for all of the shitty things he does too.

also I finally realized what Betty's face makeup was reminding me of: Jiminy Glick :(

Ha! otm. January Jones deserves some kind of Good Sport Emmy for putting up with that ridiculousness.

Though I guess now she's going to start to get herself back in sexy shape.

yeah, they pulled back THE CHIN this week somewhat

whenever anyone calls her "Brown Betty" it just makes me think of "difficult brown"

I just wish they'd get out of that dark old house

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.

I've always been miffed that no one has ever tried to make this musical or the musical about the Betty Ford Clinic from the Simpsons for real.

maybe my favorite simpsons moment

This play has everything.

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.

jesus!

I just wish they'd get out of that dark old house
The house Betty is in now is even darker then the one she was in before. I can barely stand to watch those scenes.

i'm glad i don't live inside betty's house/mind xpost

Douglas sirk, minus the color

Which is to say it misses the point in many ways

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.
