Having read the Karma Sofa from cover to slipcover, and practiced every erotic page, I know it to be true:  There's no better pushin' than a cushion.

I read your review, David, but I'm afraid it didn't answer my biggest question:  When did "not even talented enough to be lame" become a direction?

The Shiting?

MADmericMAN HORROR STORY

In the now popular tradition of these cartrunkphoneboothcoffinATM films about protagonists being trapped in commonplace locations…turned LETHAL –I’m proud to announce that I’m now in pre-production on my latest film:

Sorry. Duplication erased.

"Since you fools left me tethered to a twenty-foot chain, my hands completely free, guarded only by two hayseed whores, even though my reputation as a sociopath is well vouched-for, I've escaped yet again! —this time from TV altogether!  Now I'm free to run throughout the AV Club comment threads, wreaking my…

DRAGCEPTION.  It's a dream…tucked within a dream.

"Get you-uh ahss to Lighting Depot!!!"

Just as long as they don't start referring to her as "the darkness just before Don" when giving people directions to her desk.

I've been looking forward to him writing a book ever since his television days.  O! —the crazy self-aware recursive movie-smart stream of consciousness will surely be an enthralling thing to behold.  Er…Did I mention I have an "advance" of his book's first paragraph?  Viz:

One of the best book to screen adaptations I've ever read/seen was Gods & Monsters.  And although both incarnations were good (with many moments of excellence each), the success of the screenplay and film in capturing virtually every salient moment and thought of the book perhaps only points out the (bottom-line)…

And yet, in historical Heinz-sight, Weiners and beans seem to naturally go together…

Now that you've brought this to mind, it seems there were only two intense POV closeups in the entire episode:  Joan tending to her young'on's bottom…and Lane Pryce tenderly patting the found wallet containing the tempting photo.  I wonder if the director was attempting some sort of emotional cross-current —between…

His brand of hair gel?  Black (S)pike.

Even though I agree with much of what you seem to be saying —and probably even more of your evident feelings— it's a "given" that, in all forms of theater, character is a construct; therefore, it's not a question of how "real" a character is, it's how "truthful, deep, exemplary, telling, or pervasive-in-society" a…

She may be ahead of her time, but she’s timelessly wrong.  Peggy’s commercial, with its particular notion of getting space in the consumer’s mind, creating a powerful image, etc. —would be utterly useless at generating sales, which is the only true bottom line in the ad game.  Remember Don’s credo in marketing the…

(TO:  BELOW):  My total sincere unsnarkiest apology, then, Mr. VanDerWerff.  I was being a touchy dick —probably from touching my dick too much.  I look forward to your future insights.

plzidgaf:  I simply wrote my initial thoughts about last night's MadMen, elucidating what I considered to be the (hopefully one time) new flaws in a show I happen to love.  The author of the initial review, ToddVanDerWerff, chose to respond to me —not by replying to anything I had to say, as if my niggling…
