Dialogue I wish happened …
"Alright, class, settle down … remember, I'm the boss! Heh heh … okay, let's … wait, where's Billy? He's what? For how long? He did what at the Phillies game the other night?"

I really think this is an underrated movie overall, and certainly one of Scorcese's more overlooked films. I love how seedy it all looks. I think if Cruise tried something like this again today, it would almost be like stunt casting - "Look at how seedy Tom Cruise is acting and looking!"

Smoking episode?
This episode reminded me of the smoking episode from earlier this season. Just like we never knew anyone smoked, we didn't know Robin was having a hard time with the breakup. And, like that episode, the show revisited its own history, to show what we had (unbeknonst to us) had missed. Maybe it's no…

Isn't Two and a Half Men still one of the top-rated comedies on TV? I rest my case …

Apple's been evil for a long, long time …

There's gotta be a better way to say that …

The 8 word opening of All Star Superman is more emotionally resonant than anything in Superman Returns …

I'd like to see Jon Hamm as the boozy, 5 o'clock shadowed, womanizing Superman from Superman III … you knew he was up to no good, 'cause he didn't shave …

Hopefully that tagline hints at a coke-fueled bloodbath storyline …

@ Boom Boom -

What does Leno have? Exactly what (sadly) too many Americans want - blandly easy, mean-spirited, lowest common denominator "comedy." There's a reason why Two and a Half Men lives on and on and on, and why Nickelback releases album after album after album, and Alvin and the Chipmunks has raked in almost $175 million …

I'd fuck that chicken …

I've always loved those old Gumby shorts. Looking back, it's somewhat amazing how bizarre and trippy they are for 1950s-60s kid's TV.

A surely well-needed royalty check for Snow
Hands down favorite moment of the night: the fact that 15 year old Marshall was nodding his head to Informer … licky boom-boom down, my friend … licky boom-boom down …

And that was his voiceover on the Slap Bet commercial, no?

Milton -

And Dick Whitman gets replaced by Dick Sargent?

Rad-ical Men?
I'm pretty sure that the show won't go in either of these directions, but is it at all possible that Don's saving up all of that cash to try to somehow make a bid to buy S-C? Perhaps as a minority partner with Connie? Could he possibly know that it is for sale? It would be sort of neat to see what…

I really like the new album. Admittedly, I think there's a bit of "Thank god at this stage they're not embarrassing themselves," but it's a concise, solid album if guitar rock by a band that obviously still cares. At this point, they don't owe anyone a goddam thing.

I thought I read in an interview with M. Weiner during season 1 that his masterplan was five seasons of Mad Men, culminating in 1970. The good news? No lime green, urine yellow (in other words, my childhood home's kitchen) for too much time. The bad news, in this case - only two more seasons. Has anyone else heard…
