Mad Men's News and Notes 5.12.14


How about a completely unorganized list of notes for your Monday? I knew you'd be excited.

  • I must be one of the mindless masses because MAN, do I love Mad Men. The show is coming to an end this season and I am going to be one sad, white hipster. Roger Sterling is one of my favorite television characters on any show ever. (And Ginsberg is quickly on his way to second.)
  • Although, as I type this, things are getting weeiiird.
  • It's so odd that you could consider this a golden age of television for the quality of the scripted shows, while at the same time there is more garbage on TV than ever thanks to all the reality junk.
  • Space Cops t-shirt: coming
  • 7 Space Cops episodes: coming
  • Seven!
  • I dreamed the first two acts of a feature film this weekend. All of it. Val Kilmer was the lead, Mark Wahlberg was the villain-turned-ally. It was weird. And probably not great.
  • That led to maybe the most guaranteed-to-succeed idea I think I've ever had. A television show. Too bad I don't have the rights and too bad we aren't actually in the biz. If anybody knows Shane Black, I have a goldmine for him.
  • Well... It looks like Ginsberg can't be second favorite, eh?

Wealthy benefactors, we're still accepting large cash gifts to pursue creative nirvana. Tomorrow is the season finale of Agents of SHIELD, so stop by for the recap and any secrets that only the nerd can decipher.
