That was my point. I came out of the theater in a state of pure bliss…and then moseyed over to the AVClub spoiler space, expecting to find everyone agreeing…and, instead, found myself in a tiny minority, with everyone else hating it. (That's what I was comparing you to.)

The Bean Ballet; the failed Hilton spot…lots of them. Kind of like when George Lazenby (and, later, Pierce Brosnan) encountered memorabilia from all the previous Bond adventures.

I just realized that Carol's "I'm ashamed to be your daughter" matches up with David's "I'm proud to be your son." Excellent.

Yeah; I live four blocks away from there. I walk by it nearly every day.

Plus that story had weird entrances into apartments that were hidden from view, and (thus) people getting into apartments that were supposed to be impregnable. And a husband deceiving a wife by conspiring with others in the building.

So are we supposed to infer 1) that the long text Don wrote on his Selectric was a paen to Sylvia — the magic words he believed would lure her back (as one tends to irrationally believe is possible when in the throes of heartbreak); that 2) he's so intoxicated by the drug and by his frantic mental state that he's…

You watch your step with The Naked Time. That's one of the most flawlessly executed episodes of television ever made.

There's always someone like you. All week long I've been wasting time arguing with the dissatisfied geeks over on the Star Trek Into Darkness spoiler page…and then this amazing Mad Men comes out of the blue, and gets the "A" it deserves…and here you are. There's just nowhere in the world that's safe from your kind.…

Anyone else think this one could have been a Twin Peaks episode?

I'm going to take this as a Swiftian "modest proposal."

@Professor_Cuntburglar:disqus I shouldn't indulge this, since you're not being reasonable…but don't you realize how illogical that is? I'm supposed to accept that you're "right" just because you say so, while you take me to task for claiming to be (objectively) "right"? And I'm supposed to accept your accusations that…

@Professor_Cuntburglar:disqus  "You're saying he's right as if it's an objective fact."

[wrong thread]

Just like the closeups of Scarlett Johansen and Cobie Smulders show eyeliner to be part of SHIELD's dress code.

@Professor_Cuntburglar:disqus "Popcorn movie"? It's Star Trek. We all love Star Trek; we all have strong opinions; that's why we're here. I'm no more caught up in it than the guy who posted his 95 theses about what was wrong with it. I'm not being "defensive"; I'm defending myself from your spurious attack.

@avclub-a70b90ac4dd557918e5a1c5cb19399ec:disqus It's a holdover from the 2009 movie. From the prologue ("You're Captain now, Mr. Kirk") on through, it's emphasized over and over again, because (unlike every single other Trek story, with a couple of rare exceptions…maybe "The Enemy Within") Star Trek is specifically a…

I know I'm wearing out my welcome on this board, but I find myself re-watching Star Trek over and over. It's so beautifully done (for, really, the first time in Trek cinematic history); the actors are uniformly superb (Ibid.); the cheese and tackiness and ugly design that's plagued all of Trek since at least 1979 has…

What about Sunshine?

Exactly. It's one of the best moments in a flawless performance.

@E.Buzz Miller Not really. It's pretty much a modern movie, in terms of its pacing, storytelling, character development, plotting, etc. The only ways in which it resembles movies from the 1970s is the production design and the cultural effluvia and slang.
