Matthew Weiner And AMC Make A Deal
Tell your nipples to stop screaming about the fact that there's not one drop of Don Draper in the picture above. There's ginger, silver, chichis and George Costanza. What more do you want? So stick a sock in your nipple holes! Tiny ant socks, of course, and not human socks. If you're able to fit human socks in your nipple holes, you should really be sitting on a bed in the ER and not reading this. Unless you are reading this on an ER bed.... If that's the case, carry on!
Earlier this week, AMC scratched the itch on Mad Men fans when they announced that there will be a season 5, but new episodes won't air until a year from now. At the time, the show's creator Matthew Weiner (pictured above with Christina Hendricks and John Slattery) was having it out in a oil wrestling match with AMC over three things: product placement, firing two regulars and chopping 2 minutes off of each show to make way for more commercials. AMC and Weiner have both budged and have come to an agreement.
Weiner has signed on for 2 more seasons and is pretty much on board for a third and final season. Weiner has agreed to cut 2 minutes off of 11 out of 13 episodes (episodes on Video on Demand and DVD will feature the extra 2 minutes) and none of the regulars will be sent to the unemployment office. So your fantasy of Betty Draper dying a painful death while testing a brand new luxury product called a garbage disposal will not come true. Betty Draper will terrorize you for two more seasons.
Weiner said this in a statement to E! News:
"I want to thank all of our wonderful fans for their support. I also want to thank AMC and Lionsgate for agreeing to support the artistic freedom of myself, the cast and the crew so that we can continue to make the show exactly as we have from the beginning. I'm excited to get started on the next chapter of our story."
Does three more seasons mean that Draper & company will see the 70s? If so, when are we going to get a Mad Men/Partridge Family crossover episode? You know Shirley Partridge could hump the scotch out of Don Draper and really give him something to cry about.

Mad Men is better than anything Proust ever wrote and that was a lame attempt at making a literary reference. No one here know who the fuck Proust is....
hahaha. Why so crabby? You'd be surprised about this site.

Weiner acts like he's fuckin' Proust. It's the Early Sixties for Dummies, with dated, stylized sets, costumes, and principles. The folks who actually lived through the era didn't find it so amusing.
I do like how he makes fun of our modern notions of consumer safety re things like smoking or dry-cleaning bags. But that's hardly an original concept.
Having said that, I don't begrudge him a fat salary based on the show's commercial success, which is how it should be.

I can't believe Don married the girl with the teeth.

You sound fat.
That would be your only comeback, wouldn't it? So predictable. I'm not fat, honey, I'm just an old cunt who tells it like it is. Now go ahead and get back to your tedious posts about your various body insecurities/delusions and the loser fiance you FINALLY managed to snag.

John Slattery is a good-looking man, BUT...
he looks WAY older than his late 40's

The 2011 hairdos do not work on some of the male cast. I am looking at you too John Hamm.
______
I agree! Most of the cast, male and female, seems to look better in period clothes and haircuts (Hamm, Hendricks, girl who plays Peggy and others)

Fucking love this show. Glad it's back on track. Henry can go, but Betty should stay to play the icy cow that she is. I love John Slattery on this show, he is even charming but on 30 rock? The 2011 hairdos do not work on some of the male cast. I am looking at you too John Hamm.
YAY! Though I am bummed it won't start in summer as usual.
Christ... I covet that bitch's hair color and figure, but Good LAAAAWD, does she have the scariest fucking smiles on Earth. I just don't get it.

Okay, good.
John Slattery gives me the creeps BIG TIME. I know he's supposed to be handsomen and debonair, but I think he's skeezy and shifty. Like a small-time pool hustler who diddles little girls. Ick.

I suspect he more closely resembles the character he played on SATC, the senator who wanted Carrie to pee on him. (Or maybe he wanted to pee on her. Whatever.)

Thank christ they worked out a deal.
Phew! I need me some more Don Draper!
Datura: No, I mean him in general, not just his character. When he's in that car commercial, I don't get that he owns the car -- I think he's the parking attendant taking it for a spin.
And when he was on SNL, too. I just get the creeps from him.

so no product placement then? good.
Although I have to admit I could have lived without Betty and her lame husband. Can't stand that cunt...granted I think Don is an asshole too and not the reason I watch that show. Bring back SAL!

I miss Sal too. His scenes with his wife were fucking hilarious! Sad, but funny nonetheless.

And I also think this is the kind of dress she should wear more often, instead of corsets that squish her tits to the point that it looks like she has an ass on her chest.

He creeps me out a bit too. I'm not really sure why. I guess it's good casting; Roger is supposed to be kind of a sleeze (doing Joan behind his wife's back and what not).
Happy that the show is back on track!

Beautiful dress, and I think she looks lovely. Just wish she stopped making sexyface on the red carpet and talking about her (admittedly fabulous) figure all the time.

Christina Hendricks looks the way a woman should look: curvaceous. Embrace your curves with pride ladies. After all, they keep the world going.
I've never seen an episode but I think I'll have to now just to see Christina's fabulous titays jiggling in real life. The pictures I see here I'm sure do not do them justice.
Let’s hear it for pretty titties......Yea..titties!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, thank FUCK!
