me walkin' into work today, after last night's mad men.

sorry, flim.

mad men + feminism

sorry, flim. this would've made for a GREAT fwf...

how interesting.

here's a little insight into how house of cards is shot.

Almost every single frame of this show is composed to place a pale blue object in the foreground with a pale yellow light in the background. Now, sometimes the foreground object is more black than blue, sometimes the background veers toward a sickly green, sometimes they're outside and the background is necessarily blue or black sky, but once you begin noticing this particular habit of the House of Cards color pallete, it is hard to unsee.

here's a podcast interview with the show's cinematographer.

on a related note, here's a list of ten films matthew weiner made required viewing for the cast & crew of mad men. jicydak, there's a big mad men exhibition opening march 14 at the museum of the moving image (shoutout flim).

people on twitter are talking about this trailer, so don't get left out

go to the nearest blockbuster or hollywood video to watch the original mad max and the tina turner thunderdome so youre ready for this insane movie next year.

a pretty convincing analysis

you should read this discussion about the perceived foreshadowing in mad men's recent seasons surrounding megan's character, and the potential inclusion of a sharon tate-type murder or tie-in to the historical murder itself.

I combed over the episode to look for anything that might possibly reference the Manson murders. Megan’s still dressing like Sharon Tate, for starters.
That dress, absolutely. That was the first thing I thought. And whatever canyon Megan lives in — Don makes that reference to Megan that she’s isolated, that he’s disturbed by that, and that he’s not sure that she’s safe there. I’m not sure they’re setting her up to be murdered, but she certainly might hear the shots in the night.

And then there’s Megan’s career. The pilot she was auditioning for, Bracken’s World, was a real show about starlets trying to make it in Hollywood.
You could link that back to Valley of the Dolls, which Sharon Tate was in. And that was sort of that lifestyle.
Though Megan hasn’t started taking drugs yet. [Editor’s note: Bracken’s World was created by Dorothy Kingsley, who co-wrote the Valley of the Dolls screenplay. Eerie!]

Okay, here’s the big one: Folgers coffee. Peggy and Ted have this big conversation about coffee while Peggy is holding a Folgers can, and then Stan walks in and says something like, “That was not about coffee.”
And Abigail Folger was one of Charles Manson’s victims. She was the heiress to the Folgers coffee fortune and was a friend of Roman Polanski, so she was staying at the house. I think that’s probably a good catch on your part. Because why would they have that coffee room debate?

details!
