Mad Men: Dark Shadows
- Michael Ginsberg: That was a bold last-minute decision—going with your idea.
- Don Draper: I thought it was more what they wanted.
- Michael Ginsberg: Well, we’ll never know, will we? Because they never heard mine.
- Don Draper: Look, I don’t like going in with two ideas. It’s weak.
- Michael Ginsberg: And you don’t wanna be weak, so, you picked yours.
- Don Draper: And they bought it. Which is our goal, isn’t it.
- Michael Ginsberg: What do I care? I got a million of ’em. A million.
- Don Draper: Good. I guess I’m lucky you work for me.
- Michael Ginsberg: I feel bad for you.
- Don Draper: I don’t think about you at all.

James Cameron’s Avatar and Papyrus
I was already not terribly enthusiastic for Cameron’s latest mega-epic Avatar ever since the teaser trailer leaked in early August. The uncanny valley CGI just doesn’t cut it for me. But now that I know the closing credits are set in Papyrus, I’m positively skeptical.
It could’ve been worse, I guess. The intern could’ve shat all over our eyeballs with Comic Sans or Arial, as so excruciatingly used in Mad Men’s closing credits (the Internets—which admittedly, includes yours truly—already fanwanked about this).
With regards to films, I’m not particularly picky—I mean, I paid for and watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen—which was an unsurprising epic failure. But there are limits, people. Limits! And this one is mine.
I’ve already watched Zack Galifianakis’s hysterical “fake” interviews—hey, you never know—with Charlize Theron and Michael Cera before, but I missed the other ones until I saw Jon Hamm’s interview on a someecards post titled If your life is once again completely barren without new Mad Men episodes to watch, here’s a way to fill 3 minutes and 21 seconds of your agonizing 9-month wait for Season Four. Truer words have never been spoken.
But back to the videos. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. When Galifianakis asked if Mad Men “is a show about people in their early sixties” I nearly died. They’re so realistically awkward I almost cannot believe they’re not actually real interviews.
I highly recommend watching all seven interviews, but find a place to sit where you won’t attract odd glances when you burst out in laughter.
