Seth: “The arm wrestling movie?”
Sandy (as Sylvester Stallone): “ARM WRESTLING CLASSIC.”

This movie is called “This Ain’t Girls: XXX,” which isn’t confusing at all to the casual porn purveyor without a working knowledge of the show Girls.

Or, that girl was a plot device for Betty to figure her own shit out, so it’s fine with me that we didn’t learn all about her background. Mad Men already has enough characters to keep detailed track of.

This episode was very good. Has Mad Men ever been darker than it has been this episode and the end of last season? Between Roger’s “doors lead to more doors” speech and Don’s suicide suggestive pitch and last year’s “Everything you love turns to crap” line by creepy Glenn, it will be interesting to see what’s on the other side of the darkness.

I liked all the Betty stuff this episode, which is the first time that’s happened in a long time. I still get very uncomfortable when she’s on the screen. “Betty! Don’t go into that house, Betty! Don’t cook goulash in that dirty pot, Betty!” I thought her leaving the violin and dying her hair was a nice touch and did a lot to make her seem less like a terrible person and more like an actual person.

When Don first bristled at the rearrangement of furniture in his office for his photoshoot, the friend I was watching the show with said in a sign-songy voice, “Don doesn’t like change!”, and we laughed a lot because Mad Men can be very heavy-handed sometimes, but I still love it because at least it’s trying to do something interesting, I think.

Finally, Peggy rules shit and yeah, that new stairwell/second floor make the office look super great.

I hate when someone else is Toad in Mariokart, but I think Yoshi is a close-enough second choice.

Oliver was terrible but he didn’t make the show terrible. That would be basically everything that happened in season 3.

Father Time, I like your music! My first reaction is that it sounds like Interpol if they were still good. Thanks for posting it for us to listen to and good luck promoting it and stuff – I am part of a college radio station and we would probably play it sometimes if we got sent a copy (ooh, NOW look who’s all selfpromotiongum).

The obvious answer:

And he’s a lawyer, LADIES.

The best part is how in the paragraph before the spoiler, someone is quoted as saying, “Obviously we hope they keep the spoilers to themselves as our US fans may not know about… well, you know what!” and then go on to clarify what that means, as though it were more likely we’d run into Michelle Obama and trick her into telling us the spoiler rather than read it on the internet (I mean, it was spoiled for me by looking at gifs on some Downton Abbey Tumblr page! The internet is everywhere!)

The first and only time I got punched in the face was a couple years ago, when I was a victim (?) of a failed mugging. It was not a very good punch and I did not insert myself into this situation, so Vincent Kartheiser probably would not think I am a man. Sorry, VK.

There were a lot of grandparent-aged people at the showing of Perks of Being a Wallflower I attended a couple Saturday ago. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. High school never ends.

It is, but only if you give up. Don’t ever give up, badideajeans.

I’m excited for House of Cards! The original show is pretty crazy and I think Kevin Spacey could be a good American version of Urquhart. Plus Kate Mara is pretty (blahblah).
