The Scissor Sisters' "Intermission": a perfect intersection of urbane jauntiness and memento mori.

Weirdly enough, THIS strikes me as the movie that Zack Snyder was born to direct.

Someone PMed me that his original name was "Bohbimmihj." I don't even  OH CRAP NO NO WAI

You've kind of touched on another central problem: what with all the reimaginings, reboots, and retakes, there are a dozen—no, a HUNDRED—conflicting visions of who Superman is, what he's like, and what's most salient about him.  No single film adaptation could possibly live up to all the fans' and casual moviegoers'…

I had to speed through these suburban streets to get there, and thumped over something snaky-looking on the way.  And after all that, he still hasn't shown up.

We wrote them into our vows … but in retrospect it's kind of hard to put my finger on why.  Oh, well: good thing I don't cook on TV.

Either he's a complete moron—and complete morons are rare— … …  …..

This show is a Krispy Kreme doughnut.  Its every listed ingredient is utterly objectionable, its whole is even less than the sum of those parts … and yet within it is some minute dose of crack that would bring Frédy Girardet stampeding.

"So glad the gigot en croute was to monsieur's liking.  And now … ze Goo-Goo Cluster!"

Maybe.  On the other hand, something tells me that werewolves only party to Nickelback & Toby Keith.

I couldn't hate Crash Test Dummies.  It was the only stuff on the radio that matched my vocal range.

I'm prepared to hold back full judgment on Glen.  In the character's first few appearances, he was the age at which NO teenage boy is wholly free of repulsive creepiness.  Decent adult men have evolved from even less promising early adolescences.

I just want to have John Slattery following me around all day, smiling in ways that add layers of meaning to whatever the hell I'm doing.

[Screams into pillow]

I'm sure Gable was, and is still considered, an extremely handsome fellow.  I'm just saying that his type is no longer what springs to the minds of the average producer casting a romantic lead.  Hoffman was a generation ago, and Ferrell, Sandler, Giamatti, et al. are primarily comedians and character actors, whose…

It could also be relevant that adulthood was then considered an unambiguously desirable quality, both in real life and pop culture, and it showed in which actors became popular and got movie roles.  A guy with Humphrey Bogart's or Clark Gable's face could never get a leading-man part today, and no one who looked like…

Yeah.  I mean, I totally knew about Jimmy Olsen, but Jack Larson?

Thanks, and that's a great point.  He's never stopped willing Dick Whitman away, though, trying to make him vanish at the expense of the grandiose "Don Draper" construct.  Even after everything you alluded to, he keeps erasing, erasing, and erasing at Whitman's fading outlines, because it's simply become what he does.

The sex is actually secondary.  The issue is, to which woman is Don making a sale?

It's like a huge chunk of wall falling to the floor, revealing something that tells you the building is doomed … and will collapse faster and more completely than you could ever have believed.
