    The guy who wrote that film is spiritually a maternal great uncle of mine

    Moby-Dick

    Is that the try-works? The image of the fire from the stacks is the one that stuck with me the most. Seems that's where all the encyclopedic bits are supposed to lead.

    Adam Lehrer

    I'm sure you guys know more about his background than me but I read this the other day and have been thinking about it a lot. Makes me think of John Berger in his ability to spin off brilliantly into thundering social critique on the back of what begins as seemingly innocuous. Any other writers...

    the psychosis of night shifts

    I'm convinced night shifts driving a cab for uni students in 2021 drove me psychotic. Fucked my sleep schedule up permanently which magnified the weight of the various interpersonal crises I dealt with in the subsequent 6 months in a way that certainly did not help my judgment. Looking back at...

    The Mad Men thread

    He's on the money, I watched it again last year. Ginsberg's whole schtick is being a savant who eventually has a full breakdown parallel to Don's

Here's a funny example of those same relics trying to be relevant with a...

    The Mad Men thread

    Yeah the coke ad really seals it as a slow burn horror, something like the end of The Shining. The women as a collective are monumental. Don's second wife is, in a completely heterosexual way, iconic.

    The Mad Men thread

    Both shows majorly shift around that spot, so you'll be rewarded for persevering. Mad Men's best seasons are 4 and 5

    The Mad Men thread

    As you all may have guessed from my avi, I was going to do this eventually. Mad Men is unfortunately the best work of television and the end of the medium, an American Ulysses to Twin Peaks: The Return's Finnegan's Wake. I'm on my 3rd time watching now and am halfway through season 4, just...
