JANUARY IN GQ MAGAZINE

2009-11-07T20:34:12Z

I didn't like the writer in the GQ article's tone towards our January Jones. She is brilliant in her role as Betty, and he kept dwelling on how much she had to drink. He wouldn't treat a male actor that way in a piece. Not very well-written article either...not much there there as Gertrude Stein would say. What do others think?

Any Maddicts getting together Sunday? The yahoo group?

2009-11-07T19:19:11Z

Hi everyone!!

My guy and I don't have a TV, and have been watching the MAD MEN, the itunes-download way.

We would LOVE to watch the show with our fellow Maddicts...anyone have something planned? Also, I fear something may be planned in the yahoo forum, but I don't know how to get to the yahoo forum.
I've been under the weather off and on, and so, I've not been able to be online as much as I like to, and I feel I missed out on so much here.

I did want to mention, I'll be getting my Part 4 and Part 5, about my visit to the Mad Men set up, later tonight (FINALLY). This being sick, on and off, has been for the birds!

One Night in NYC...

2009-11-07T18:43:29Z

Hey Maddicts! I posted a few weeks back looking for advice on things to do while in NYC for one night. You all gave me such great advice... THANKS. I went on 10/15 and, unfortunately it was very cold and rainy. But hey, I'd never been to NYC and I had the night to cram in as much as I could before my conference in the morning, so I made the best of it. First of all, I gotta tell you New Yorkers, I love your city! It is absolutely amazing. I was shocked at how large it was... Atlanta feels SO small to me now. I can not wait to go back for a longer stay!

For a photo journey of my night, you can check out my pics and story here http://www.flickr.com/photos/8395472@N05/sets/72157622630013269/

Warning, my camera battery died so I had to shoot with my cell phone all night. They're not great quality photos but, after a few old fashioneds I didn't really care...

Episode 13 - Predictions????

2009-11-06T15:16:39Z

So here it is teh end of a very dramatic and well written season of Mad Men. What are your predictions as to how it will end - for now? The future of SC ? Don and Betty? Roger and Jane? Peggy and the Duck conspiracy? Where the hell is Conrad Hilton- on the moon?

Quick Poll - Did Dick Do It?

2009-11-06T14:25:37Z

Those who have peeked at imdb know the young Dick Whitman will return in the season finale. The assumption is that the, ahem, sudden passing of Dick's father will be depicted. Here's the Poll:

Did Dick:
a: directly contribute to Archie's death
b. indirectly or inadvertently contribute to it
c. had nothing to do with it.

The answer will be shown Sunday night. Maybe.

Takes one to know one, and Don isn't stupid

2009-11-06T12:32:23Z

Don knows Betty too well. He knows she needs attention, needs a man, and for her to tell him she doesn't love him any more must make him wonder. He knows the only thing that would make him not love her any more would be someone who could take her place. He knows this because he could imagine that with Miss Teacher. She's the only one who Don "played house" with.The only one who he actually slept with. He knows Betty has someone she wants to replace him with. Does Don have enough self esteem left, after Betty's discovery of who Don really is,to fight, to change her mind,to care? Or has it left him with enough spite and venom to be mean or cruel, determined find out what or who is behind Betty's change of heart.

DVD Commentaries

2009-11-05T21:49:13Z

I was lucky enough to win the box set of Mad Men Season 2 for my favorite Joan quote. "Your decolletage is distracting."
It's a beautiful box set BTW.I was just wondering if anyone else had it and listened to the audio commentaries in the special features section, and if not you should . I found them very interesting on many levels. They were very insightful about not only the characters but also the actors and behind the scenes people. It was a trip to hear who was the most interesting as a commentator and who was a little boring. I recommend watching all of the ones Weiner of course.
