Launches AMC Digital Media, acquires filmsite.com and filmcritic.org

By David Tanklefsky -- Broadcasting & Cable, 6/29/2009 4:44:25 PM EDT

AMC continues to develop its online movie presence with the launch of AMC Digital Media and the acquisition of two film websites-filmsite.com and filmcritic.org.

The sites, along with amctv.com, provide film reviews and analysis, news, blogs, user-ranked movie lists, and web apps based on network series like Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

Filmcritic.com is a movie review site that was launched in 1995 and now contains more than 8000 reviews and stories from critics around the world.

Filmsite.org offers detailed plot summaries, movie commentary, and reviews of classic movies. The site also contains "best of" surveys of the most popular film quotes in all genres.

"AMC Digital Media combines Emmy-, Golden Globe-, and Oscar-winning content with a high-end interactive movie experience to attract a highly-engaged audience that is passionate about film and entertainment," said Mac McKean, AMC's V.P. of digital media and content.

"These latest acquisitions reinforce our ability to create an entertaining, interactive online experience that celebrates all things movie and story."

New TV Promos

2009-06-28T01:15:03Z

Hopefully AMC will post the official links for these soon, but until then, take a look at four new Mad Men TV spots.....all clips from S1 and S2 scenes, reminding me again what a beautifully-filmed series it is.

Jon Hamm vs. Gil Gerard

2009-06-26T16:50:58Z

OK, my beautiful wife just purchased the entire series of "Buck Rogers" on DVD, for Fathers Day... She's the best!

While I was watching the 2nd episode, I shouted out loud... It's Don Draper in Space! My wife laughed and thought about it for a moment and agreed. Come to think of it, I think Gil is the only reason she got me the DVDs. Come to think of it I think that Jon is the only reason she watches Mad Men. Hmmmm.

If you haven't seen an episode of Buck Rogers, view it and let me know what you think!

Bad day......BAD DAY.......

SEASON 3 THEME MUSIC.

2009-06-24T15:49:07Z

Let's pretend AMC is a having a contest to pick new Theme Music for Season 3 of "MAD MEN".
What song would you pick and why?

Does Don get away with too much?

2009-06-24T04:40:49Z

He disappears from work for three weeks and is rewarded with a half a million dollars when he returns.

He steals Don Draper's identity but instead of turning him over to the police when she discovers this, the real Mrs Draper ends up his secret confidant instead.

He mistreats his wife for years, but gets to stay married to her anyway.

Over and over again he gets away with it. What are the consequences for his behavior?

Here's the profile for a sociopath

I think the only point that doesn't fit is that Don does seem capable of feeling remorse over what his behavior has done to his family.

Oh, gracious! Not another one?

"Established Men - Sugar Daddy Dating, where beautiful girls and successful men meet." C'mon AMC, you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for ads these days. I suppose it fits in with the Mad Men story line, though. I can see Roger giving them a call. Would he want them as a Sterling Cooper client? How would he spin it so it didn't sound like just an expensive call girl operation? I can just see him ordering Don to ditch the Arthur Murray Dance Studio and concentrate on Sugar Daddy Dating.

Throw this ad back in the barrel along with the one for body shaving, and credit Mad Men fans with some taste and discrimination, for Pete's sake.

June Movie Mad-ness Discussion

2009-06-23T18:17:58Z

This month, our attention is focused on three movies, "Cape Fear," "Rope," and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." Why should we talk about these movies here? Well, all three were mentioned during the season (be the first to share where and by whom), and the movie-buff Maddicts have great discussions about the actors, the era, and memories surrounding the viewing of the film. It's also a great deal of fun second-guessing Matt Weiner's motive for mentioning these three movies in the series.

Come join us for the next week or so. Whether you're a movie buff or Mad Men addict, you're welcome to join us this month to discuss Alfred Hitchcock's movie about the guest who's dead on time. Or, maybe you have a juicy tidbit to tell us about the movie where John Wayne met James Stewart. Share how afraid you were whenever Robert Mitchum filled the screen in Cape Fear. Did you think Gregory Peck's character had a chance? This should be fun!

I look forward to another lively discussion and will post my comments right along with you. (...Just a reminder, I am not an AMC moderator, just a fan like yourself!).

Tilden Katz

2009-06-22T21:08:42Z

Why did Roger introduce Don as Tilden Katz in Six Months Leave? Does he know about Don's affair with Rachel Menken in S1 and that she is now married to Tilden Katz?

Hello Maddicts

2009-06-22T16:04:51Z

Hi Maddicts,
Clayton has other duties but fear not, you're not abandoned!
I'll be keeping an eye on your conversations -- the better to hand out mugs -- and to chime in when I can. And if there's anything you need to be in touch about, you can reach me at: lilyoei.amc@gmail.com.

Best,
Lily

The Draper house

2009-06-22T04:26:48Z

Their house looks huge from the outside so how is it that there are only two bedrooms?? This has always confused me. I wonder if another room will just magically appear for the new baby. And Sally is getting too old to keep sharing with her brother.
