Last night's Mad Men was pretty great. Especially if you like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Do you post at Gawker?

Sometimes.

That recap sucked.

I just found it hilarious to read a takedown of that recap and then see the user ID "heyzeus".

Jacob Clifton has pretty much always written that way. Seems to have difficulty organizing his thoughts into paragraph format. TWOP's archives are still up, so you can go read his recent "True Detective" recaps for a taste.

For everybody else, if you want to read heyzeus getting cranky about bad prose, go here

Hi, I'm heyzeus, and I've been outed as a serial commenter/crank.

PS There are too many states these days. Please eliminate three. PS, I am NOT a crackpot.

Anybody planning on watching the new 24? I can't tell if it's going to be any good based on the commercials.

I of course did. But I'm a 24 addict. I've seen each episode of the 8 seasons 4 times each! The first time was with a good friend when we did a 24 marathon of the first 6 seasons when I was introduced to it. Then I saw it once each with my ex's. It's a highly addictive show. Last nights episodes were quintessential 24.

A character on Fargo just found the buried money from the movie Fargo and that is laaaaaame.

[JL21]

It didn't bother me (actually, I liked it), but other things have. There's a scene early on where the sheriff is in bed with his wife and it's almost 100% the same scene that Margie had in the film with her husband, but gender-reversed. I wasn't a fan of that at all.

Still, I'm 100% on board with the show.

What I didn't like tonight...

[SHOW]

Malvo tormenting Stavros with the plagues. How in the hell could he have known about his devout faith? Or am I missing something from a previous episode? Even if he knew that Stavros is so devout, he wouldn't have known why.

Then again, I'm also trying not to take the show too seriously. At this point, it's a fun dark comedy made by people who love the Coens as much as I do.

[thrill]

Presumably the wife told the boyfriend who told Malvo about the god is real incident and he went from that.


I still like the show. I just revere the movie.

[go birds]

i liked the movie tie-in personally.

it's been a minute since i've seen the movie so i can't remember if the money was ever found/recovered?

nice lil throwback imo for us movie fargo fans.
