For one thing, I always think about how Don's identity fell apart at the same time as Don's marriage, Sterling Cooper, and JFK. That lie is such a huge crack in the foundation that the marriage crumbles on top of it, and Mad Men connects that to the obvious lies in the American establishment dream which in turn ties

At the time, I'd have agreed, but nowadays I think "Nixon vs. Kennedy" might be my everything. More to the point, "Mr. Campbell, who cares?" is my everything. Seeing Jon Hamm in Korea is gravy.

Whoa, whoops! (KM's such a fan I just assumed.) I have to correct but will leave this here as a marker of my shame.

Chinoise is sorely underrated and 2 Or 3 Things is out on Criterion, so it's probably for the best.

Awesome. Throw in 2 Or 3 Things and I'm there.

How fun! I'm dying to see Histoire(s) myself.

That was my first post-68 Godard, and I was comically not ready for it. What I saw was this awful bootleg, and I watched it right after reading the play expecting something a little closer to the Shakespeare. Went fairly over my head, but now that I have a little more experience, I'm looking forward to revisiting.

More to the point, it will promise TGIF but quickly get interrupted by the OJ chase. The Day We Grew Up: A Nation Remembers

Ooh, let me take this opportunity to recommend the Grigori Kozintsev Lear film. That ghostly climactic image is seared into my brain.

Of course I have love for Othello! Just not quite as monolithic as some others for me. I'd need to revisit it to go beyond Iago's speech and the sophomore Jealousy! stuff.

More of a reluctant, based-on-experience rule, as I understand it.

My only defense is it's rooted in The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis, only better* because Dobie never had the genius to get addicted to caffeine pills and cry, "I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so" *gasp* "scared!"

Don't tell anyone but What's On Tonight just makes up humorous facts about us. (And Hamlet, obvs. But Titus Andronicus is my hip third-place.)

See also: The Middle S3 and Childrens Hospital S4. Warner is all about the DVD-R release nowadays.

Noooo!!!! Hillary's performed contempt is why I get up in the morning.

The great thing is you could make a case for half the cast already. If I were an HGTV host I'd say it has good bones.

It's on my long list! (Granted my long list could last us four years, and I'm not the only one doing these, but still.)

Exactly. I'm excited to get into the really outlandish failures.

If it helps, I wouldn't expect to see anything we covered in TV Club Classic, at least not any time soon. We have a ton of ideas without those.
