Talk: Mad Men

Fan interview

2011-12-15T12:34:44Z

Hi everybody!
My name is Sara and I'm a student at the University of Antwerp in Belgium (that's in Europe by the way =) ). I have this course, Popular Culture, for which we have tot analyse a case of popular culture. And guess what I picked... Mad Men ofcourse! Although, I am thrilled to write a paper about one of my favourite shows, there is something I can't do on my own. You see, I have to interview a fan about Mad Men! This is where I turn to you guys! Is there someone who would like to help me with this?? You would really do me a huuuge favour!
Ofcourse, because of the circumstances, we could do the interview via skype. But not over a phonecall, just in the chat or whatever it's called. It wouldn't take long!
Please let me know if you're interested! I would be very grateful!
Sara

Join the Quote Game Volume 40

This edition of The Quote Game is initiated in honor of Super Bowl XL, which due to my brother's connections and eBay skills, I had the extraordinary good fortune to attend. The outcome was highly satisfactory for me at Steelers 21 Seahawks 10.

Maybe Mad Men will give us an episode at the Ice Bowl in Green Bay on 31 December 1967. Most of the SCDP employees would feel little effect from the -15F temperatures, given their normal alcohol intake.

GENERAL DISCUSSION - UP

...to my fellow maddicts for all your good wishes. Things are progressing very nicely but I miss having that red velvet cake, Z - sounds yummy. (The General topic seems to have slipped off the first page and I wanted to make sure you all would see my heartfelt thanks. You're the best!!!

Why Bertram Cooper must stay on Mad Men Season 5

2011-12-10T21:59:25Z

Bert Cooper is the only man on the show with any scruples. He can cut through the BS with one
quip or look. Let's face it, just about every other male character and many of the female characters are despicable. We need someone to be a sort of moral touchstone. Besides that, Bert is so erudite and eccentric, and just plain fun to watch. Not to mention he's ROBERT MORSE, a legendary actor who should be given much more to do!

1. The Searchers----John Wayne and John Ford achieve perfection of the genre......Wayne is incredible as Ethan Edwards and Ford's direction is flawless......

A word about John Slattery and comedy

2011-12-09T19:59:14Z

I like to believe, in moments of self-admiration, that I know something about actors and acting. Tell me if you agree or disagree with the following rather bold statement: John Slattery is the greatest articulator of the "throw away" line. . . evah! Example: "It's not Ann-Margaret."

If you agree, name some of your favorite Slattery throw-aways. If not, give examples of better. Thanks.

Merry Christmas, all

In honor of Jack Benny, who never admitted to being any older than 39, I initiate the new thread.
