My favorite moments: the final scene from Season 1, with Don sitting alone on the steps; Don reciting "Mayakovsky;" Don and Roger taking Freddy out to the underground casino; the final episode of Season 3, when they were pulling together SCDP;  and Don whisking Joan away to a bar after she was served with her divorce…

Eh, I saw him on Katie Couric's show a few weeks ago … that guy still looks damn good …

Yeah … weird, but not a bad guy. I just downloaded After Friday Night Lights, his 45 page "sequel" to FNL. It highlights his 25 year friendship with Boobie Miles. He stayed friends with Boobie long after many others forgot about him because he couldn't play football any more. Sure, there's a bit of self-congratulation…

Yeah … very faint praise in writing that this album is as good as Angles … I thought Angles was imminently forgettable, and sounded like a contract obligation.

Oh, he is heart breaking in this film. I feel like this film is an oddly underrated, somewhat forgotten great film of the 90s. Am I wrong in thinking this?

How do we feel about The Last Samurai? While I feel that it hews a bit too close to Dances With Wolves' themes, I do like the story, and I think Tom Cruise does a pretty good job of conveying a man caught between two very different worlds … who somehow survives being shot point blank with a gatling gun.

Yeah, I'd love to see him in some lower key stuff, like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang … but c'mon. If I was Iron Man, that's all I'd be interested in doing right now, too. And he's banked so, so many good to great performances, I think he can slide a few more years …

Yeah, please don't put PFT in the same class as David Cross. Tompkins' Garry Marshall character is a gift that never stops giving.

Raw is just blazingly funny, as are his early run of films, up through Coming to America. It really throws a harsh contrast on pretty much all of the crap he's done since, excluding the Bowfinger and Dreamgirls.

Yeah, my thoughts too - "Wow, this a lot of words for Bush's second album …"

Remember the multiple remixes and acoustic versions and whatnot of that song? Teenage me ate all of that up with a spoon …

Yep, I remember the hate swung at those guys, and thinking that conversation  was so important when I was 15.

Hey, although they may not be "relevant" anymore, I think every Counting Crows album is well-written. They're just a good band who seemed to pass out of the cultural spotlight, but kept doing their thing.

Hopefully it doesn't turn into double-decker pneumonia … that could crash into the both of us …

I find that this show conveys the language differences very elegantly - I like that the conversation begins in Viking and Old English (that is correct, I think) with subtitles, and then switches back to our language once it is established that they do not understand each other very well. 

Well, maybe it was "unknown" per se to their village, but they had heard rumors of it, so I think it's safe to assume that we're supposed to figure out that other Vikings had been there, and stories began to spread throughout Scandinavia.

Yeah. I really like this show, and I really like Byrne … but he just seems lost in this show. I'm sure that they nabbed him for some instant credibility, but the show stands on its own, without him.

Saw Pearl Jam at the Hartford Civic Center play this a couple of years ago and dedicate it to the UConn women's basketball team -

That entire first album, in my opinion, is terrific - one great, catchy pop song after another. I love that album. 

Also, the older I get, the more incongruous is seems to me to drop $15 or more on a book I can get in a year for several dollars at a used books store or at a library sale.
