Luckily with Mad Men more than almost any other show, the plot hardly matters. If you tried to spoil most of the episodes it would come off almost incomprehensible to a non-viewer.

I like the dynamic with Wain, in that he generally undercuts the other two a bit and saves things from getting too precious or up-their-own-ass meta. A lot of times his character will essentially lampshade what the other two are doing, which can help keep everything from turning into a "stepping on the rake over and…

I'm also convinced that he starts just saying "Korea" over and over after "Attention and fame's a career… career…"

It's sort of the same problem with the editing categories, which generally go to films with lots of frenetic editing, which isn't really analogous to "good" editing. I can see where that one is especially difficult to judge as a viewer since it's kind of impossible to gauge what was the input of the editor vs. the…

I just rented it last weekend for something to watch during the Polar Vortex™. It was overly long and dour for the first 2/3rds, but hot damn the climax is such a friggin' blast that it nearly makes up for it. It's the ultimate "buy it for your dad for Father's day if you don't know what else to get him" movie.

Ok, I honestly couldn't remember for a minute their whether the last season was supposed to be the first-half of the final season or if that was still coming. We've been talking about the final season of Mad Men for so long that I apparently forgot it hasn't actually aired yet.

So is this the "real" final season for Mad Men, or is it the "first half of the final season which is really two seasons but we call it one season so we can pay the crew less" final season?

McConaughey might be kind of an airheaded surfer dude, but he's always been capable of a great performance when he wants to give one. His first friggin' role in a movie was Wooderson in Dazed & Confused, for pete's sake.

Since he's clearly doing an uncredited re-appropriation of the 2011 Charlie Sheen meltdown, I think the next step is for him to start a UStream channel where he rants at length in the wee hours of the morning, and then go on a spectacularly unsuccessful tour with his new one man show.

Mostly it was just odd that it seemed like the show played that moment like it was supposed to be hilarious how he had so little money, despite that being a pretty significant amount for a fuck-up like Andy to have in one place.

Upvoted because it oughta be a law that an acronym has to actually stand for something, so in my mind this is what IFC now stands for.

Yeah, for some reason I can't watch IFC on my cable package, which seems odd considering it's now mostly reruns of old sitcoms, yet I get TCM which actually shows movies all day with no commercials.

Coincidentally, I liked how Parks & Rec made an Anthony Weiner joke on the day John Oliver returned to Community

I kept thinking "why don't people just bend their knees to pick things up?"

I really liked his shaky-arm thing as he stood up. Great little touch of physical comedy there.

Yeah I thought it was odd that they never mentioned how she found out or how he actually died or anything.

I agree, it's a nonsensical point to argue. I think anyone who isn't being obtuse would agree that Season 4 looked and felt a bit different than the rest of the show. The editing, the lighting, the writing… everything was a bit different.

"Buns" can be funny when an adult says it while censoring themselves around kids, like in the guidance counselor's song from the South Park movie, but no self respecting person would actually use it in any other context.

Yeah, I was really disappointed by the puppet episode. I was really predisposed to like it as a huge muppets fan, but it was just wonky and felt off, much like almost all of Season 4. That 30 Rock episode where Kenneth saw everyone as muppets did the same thing much better.

Yeah, I think part of the reason I've never found Jeff's conflict very interesting around Annie is that Alison Brie is clearly not as young as Annie is supposed to be. Sure, Joel McHale is 11 years older than her, but it hardly seems predatory when the younger person is 32.
