Here are a collection of graffitied Mad Men subway posters. If I were to graffiti one I’d draw the guy falling into a wedding ring. And then I’d write, “This season, everyone stays faithful and does a good job in general!” -Gothamist
Fred Stoller, TV writer and actor and our favorite guy on Dr. Katz, has written a book for the Kindle about the year he spent as a staff writer for Seinfeld. It is titled My Seinfeld Year and it’s only two dollars! WHOA! -Amazon
Top Chef was renewed for a 10th season. That is so many seasons! Congratulations, Top Chef. I’m sure Gabe was very happy to hear this news, so congrats to him too. Would you like to try out to be on this season of the show? Here are the dates and locations for when you can do that! -THR

Would you like to submit one of the many Hunger Games haikus you’ve written to Movieline in order to try to win a trip to the premiere? Here is my, NO STEALIES: The Hunger Games-es / That is a movie and book / I am almost sure -Movieline
There’s a chance there’s going to be a Back to the Future musical. Why not, right? SOMEONE’S gotta make money off of that thing. -Deadline

AMC has confirmed that Mad Men will return on March 25, beginning with a two-hour long episode. WHOA! That’s as long as a movie! Though Jon Hamm will not direct it, as was previously speculated. But he will direct the second episode! -NYTimes
Drunk Ron Swanson is certainly not a bad way to spend a little bit of your time today. -DrunkRonSwanson
Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary on Downton Abbey, is working on releasing an album with her onscreen mother, Elizabeth McGovern. An album of MUSIC! TO LISTEN TO. I wish I could make a Downton Abbey joke but I’ve only seen the first two episodes of the first season. But pretend I made a good one! LOL. -Telegraph
Remember the episode of The League where Taco talked about his idea for Neckflix, like Netflix but for ties? Well, a company is doing that for real. And they’re saying that they didn’t get the idea from The League. Which seems reasonable to me, TBH. There are lots of sites that do things like that! NECKFLIX! -WarmingGlow
A supercut of inappropriate “woo”ing on Saved By The Bell. Yes, of course, why not. -OHYST

An animated GIF from the new Tim and Eric movie. -Vulture
FilmDrunk says this is the most insane surf footage you’ll ever see and on the one hand it’s like, sure, this is definitely some insane surf footage, but on the other it’s like, WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT IS THE MOST INSANE SURF FOOTAGE I’LL EVER SEE? You know? I just don’t want the search to be over. -FilmDrunk
I guess Lindsay Lohan crashed some Golden Globe parties yesterday. That makes sense! Why didn’t they just invite her, though? She seems like a lot of fun. -Dlisted

Melissa McCarthy says she won’t do a Bridesmaids sequel without Kristen Wiig. WHOA! Boom goes the dynamite. But maybe they can just get a whole new cast? And Elizabeth Olsen and Britt Marling can be in it? And also I can be in it? AND ALSO ANNIE CLARK? Holy moly this is going to be a great movie! -Vulture
Megan Mullally confirmed that the Party Down movie is being written and everyone is on board except for Jane Lynch, which is exciting, but I will honestly never believe that is going to be a real movie until I am watching that movie. -TheHollywoodReporter
Alec Baldwin is back on Twitter! THANK GOD! Finally, SOMEONE to ask vague political questions and talk about Starbucks. -TheDailyWhat
Jon Hamm was on Doug Benson’s “Doug Loves Movies” podcast on Friday and confirmed that Mad Men would be returning on March 25th. That’s great news! I wonder if Don will sleep with someone other than his fiancee in the first episode of the new season and I wonder if anything will ever matter or anyone will ever evolve! ARGH! Conflicting feelings about that show! -DougLovesMovies
James Franco wrote an article for Deadline about how Andy Serkis should have an Oscar because he’s “essentially Che Guevara in chimp form”??? I don’t know. This one’s YOUR crossword puzzle, guys. -FilmDrunk

Hey so remember yesterday when we were all so grossed out about those people on the Dutch TV show eating each other? Well, apparently it was all a HOAX! To raise awareness for organ donation? What? -WarmingGlow
Another person said something about how there is a possibility that some day next year or in the somewhat near future someone may put a pen to paper and begin writing a Flight of the Concords movie! -ComicsComic

Remember in the Petting Zoo post last week how there was that lizard who played a bug-crushing game on an iPad and it did a great job? Well, here is a frog doing the same thing. I don’t know if I’m upset at the lizard or the frog or both or neither. -TheDailyWhat
Here’s Jon Hamm on the set of Mad Men, LADIES. I can’t wait ’til that comes back. I hope in the new season everyone is going to be happy and nice to each other. -Celebuzz

Here is Paul F. Tompkins narrating “How the Gingrigh Stole Christmas.” A soon-to-be holiday classic, I’m sure. -FunnyOrDie
Here is a tiny, happy video about how nice it is to give people you love presents. It’s maybe made by the TV show Yo Gabba Gabba? Something like that. It has something to do with that show, I think. In any case, it is very cute. Watch it! -TheWorldsBestEver

How Matthew Weiner Plans To End Mad Men

Kelly — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:20:43 +0000

Mad Men‘s fifth season is almost here, thank goodness, after a wait that has felt like DECADES. Actually I’m lying about what it felt like because I’ve only recently gotten caught up on the last season of Mad Men, so it hasn’t really felt very long to me. And you know, even THAT was a lie because I still have two episodes left. I just cannot stop lying! I’m a real MAN, right? Like from the show? Just a bunch of terrible liars. Anyway, please, let’s get on with it! Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner recently talked with Grantland about the fifth season, and about how he sees the show eventually ending. Oh perfect, FINALLY we get some answers! About the ending of a show! That will happen in a few years! And if you’re thinking, “Hey, there’s no way he’s actually just going to straight-up tell them how he plans for the show to end because who would ever want to know about how a show they really like is going to end, this is probably safe to read,” well, STOP THINKING THAT! He straight-up tells them, pretty much! Here is a non-spoiler version, from Grantland:

When asked if he had an end point in mind for Mad Men‘s seventh and final season, Weiner answered in the affirmative: “I do know how the whole show ends,” he told us. “It came to me in the middle of last season. I always felt like it would be the experience of human life. And human life has a destination. It doesn’t mean Don’s gonna die. What I’m looking for, and how I hope to end the show, is like …

AHHHH, STOP! I can’t believe you were just going to tell us like that! I can’t believe you DID just tell us in the article that we all would have seen it if I hadn’t stopped copying-and-pasting when I did!!! Matthew! So for those of you who are itching to get a peak at the ending of Mad Men, you should have at it. For the rest of us, would you like to discuss some ways that Mad Men is definitely NOT going to end? Just to get this horrible spoiler taste out of our mouths? Great, me too!

The Muppets are going to be guest hosting Monday Night Raw on October 31st. So that makes sense and I guess keep your regular DVR settings and we’ll all talk about it November 1st! -WhatCulture
Ryan Gosling was on Conan last night and discussed a number of unbearably endearing topics, like Disney World cat barracks and hoping his Drive character will be someone people “go as for Halloween.” A regular cutebot from the planet Melty Heart, this guy. -MediaMarket
Guess who the only person in the world who calls Lenny Kravitz “Leonard” is? Guess? It really makes sense so don’t think too hard, just the first person who comes to mind. -Dlisted
Taylor Lautner cried while watching Breaking Dawn I guess but who can even blame him. Movies are sad sometimes. Sometimes you just have to cry at them. -TheSuperficial
Not to make everything I ever say about Ryan Gosling these days, but have you guys seen the interview where he says he’s going to quit movies to make babies? That is a little weird but also very cute and also “sign me up” – everybody. -FilmDrunk
“Real time face-swapping technology.” This is weird, watch it. -TheDailyWhat
Guys, the New Girl theme was put online today and it is so bad! Oh my goodness. I don’t know why any of Zooey Deschanel’s friends don’t tell her to just please stop singing. Does she have any friends? What is going on with her friends? -Vulture
Which movie do you think Brad Pitt wants as his legacy? FIGHT CLUB? It’s not Fight Club, spoiler alert. -Movieline
Ooh, here’s an article about why everybody loves old-timey sexism and how you can get your fix, even without Mad Men. -Salon
I guess Glee premieres tonight. Are you going to watch it? You should watch Parenthood instead. Or go to Mr. Coconuts. I’m not sure if Glee and Parenthood are on at the same time but maybe you didn’t watch last week’s Parenthood and you should probably catch up before you watch this week’s. -Celebuzz
Ooooooh, click on this one if you’re ready for some VERY GOOD Blair Witch related news. -HuffingtonPost

Duh Aficionado Magazine: January Jones Is One Of The Worst People On Earth

Gabe — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 21:30:28 +0000

January Jones has always been pretty questionable. Like, she’s good on Mad Men, I guess, and she’s very good at HAVING A NICE FACE. But she was awful on Saturday Night Live and even worse in X-Men: First Class, so she might not actually be that good at acting. And then you just hear stories about her that make you think, you know? First of all, she used to date Ashton Kutcher, so, gross. Then there was the time when she crashed a car into a house and called Bobby Flay. And the story about Zach Galifianakis telling her to “be fucking nice.” It’s also just weird when people are pregnant with secret babies by mystery fathers who are reportedly married. But all of those things while certainly hurting her case for not being the worst are nothing like this new smoking gun of awfulness. TV Guide today posted a quote from Jared Gilmore, the little boy who played Bobby Draper on Mad Men, offering some advice to whomever takes on that role in the next season (via Vulture). Your honor, if I may approach the bench:

“Be careful around January [Jones]. She’s not as approachable as the others. She’s really serious about what she does. Everyone else is so nice.”

UHHHHHHH. Houston, we have an asshole! Let me put it this way: when you are being badmouthed by CHILDREN in the press you are a HORRIBLE PERSON. The end. I rest my case. Case closed. Sustained. Overruled. Bailiff. That is nuts! And you just KNOW that the thing about her being “really serious about what she does” is what she said to him in some disingenuous, limp-wristed apology after she made him cry on set for the 100th time. What a fucking goblin! She probably didn’t even save anyone’s life on 9/11. You guys, I hate jerks so much, don’t you!?!
