It has the added virtue of having one of the coolest title sequences in recent memory. Almost (but not quite as good) as the end title sequence for A Series of Unfortunate Jim Carrey Casting Events.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

I am seriously bummed that it's not at iTunes. I'ma either gonna have to venture out in the crummy weather or order from amazon, Right Now.
Looking at the weather, perhaps amazon is the way to go.

apparently, angry fans are protesting the Harry Potter release date push back and the Watchmen nonsense.
I think you wanted to post that in Movies?

Huh. There's a real Don Draper, a working actor in bit parts. This must be weird for him! [link]
[link] To ad-business giant Allen Rosenshine, the former CEO and chairman (now chairman emeritus) of BBDO, the show is “a total fabrication.”
“I won’t deny that there was drinking, but it was never like that,” he says. “And if anybody talked to women the way these goons do, they’d have been out on their ass.”
In the advertising world, one big difference is that in the old days business was less competitive and few agencies were publicly traded, says Sokotch. When agencies went public and an increasing number of firms started competing for shrinking slices of the pie, things became more cutthroat - and less enjoyable.
“People work harder, and accountants and Wall Street play a greater role,” he says. “It’s still a good business, but back then, man, it was a great business.”
He’s echoed by Della Femina. “Investment bankers started invading the world, and it went from being a business of fun to being a business of money,” he says. “And that changes everything.”

you know, I don't understand Don. He doesn't even like Bobbi, but he keeps spending time with her.

Ditto.
And oh holy hell, that Don would know of Peggy. You know, I honestly think, in some tenuous but significant way, they're each other's only real friends.

don's probably the one who started the fat farm rumor. I can't imagine that he didn't know what was going on. she would be on the OB/GYN ward (unless maybe the psych ward? but it looked like the same place where they brought the baby to her.) I hadn't realized that her sister was pregnant, they probably just hid Peggy's baby and then said that the sister had twins.
