Mostly, ...I'm with you entirely, and then some. Mostly, I think the premier for the season was badly directed. There's anachronisms of twenty-first century "entitlement" all over the place. <br /><br />Here's my entry. (If you don't mind me piggy backing on your fabulous blog.)<br /><br />Watching the premier of this season's Mad Men.<br />There are some flaws.<br /><br />I don't like the sado masochistic slapping thing. That's not true to his character, I don't think. I'll look again.<br /><br />I don't like the art and his pitch for Jantzen. I didn't think agencies were trying to be slutty then and the implication feels like an anachronism. I think all the sex took awhile to start to be conscious.<br /><br />Plus the model was way too skinny. They didn't start getting skinny like that til Twiggy.<br />And the Helvetica bold extended... and title case....feels wrong.<br /><br />I miss Sal. They should have hired him. Or at least had the same art people from last season. Sketches, not preprinted photoshop collages.<br /><br />They were all over the map with the Advertising Age interview. The printed piece that you can read in the HD version of the episode does not start out with Don Draper is a cipher. And it is actually written as if it was a real interview, contrary to the dramatized interview we see. Where the interviewer is just mean and has a "chip on his shoulder" in the form of a wooden leg.<br /><br />Poor Sally Draper. It's awful that she's bearing the brunt, but it seems like it's kind of over the top.<br /><br />A lot of the episode seemed over the top.<br /><br />I wanted the cool build up again. We don't have to start in a hedonistic frenzy. There's no where to go.<br /><br />And it sounds like continuity and research were a little weak this episode.<br /><br />>>HERE'S A stolen blog within my blog!!<br />"Jantzen heydey was definitely early Sixties. Stuff was cool, still is. I’m glad the show used an actual company that the viewer could “know” instantly. My own pet reference peeve: Henry and Betty go to the Griswold Inn in Essex, CT for a quick weekend after Thanksgiving. NO ONE was going there from ANYWHERE in 1964. The place served locals and summer boaters only back then. (My family moved to Essex in that exact year) And the rooms at the Gris were VERY shabby (untery VERY recently). No Princess Betty was staying at the Griswold Inn in ‘64 nor ‘74, nor ‘84. Also, Essex is about halfway to Boston from Ossining and there was no I-84 for decades and I-95 was completed in that region a year later (1965). It would have been a hellish six plus hours one way. Uh, uh. Producer must new owners of the Inn who, though natives, have been Los Angles types recently."Kalonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01927207657871736991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777065841212380119.post-78779418793743778482010-07-29T08:57:48.888-07:002010-07-29T08:57:48.888-07:00this comment has nothing to do with Mad Men (altho...this comment has nothing to do with Mad Men (although I love it).

I don't buy it for one minute that Don was unable to see the baby and yes, Betty's husband was going to take care of everything and she and the kids would never need anything from Don. I usually watch the episodes over but after one time, that was enough. Chris is right, the new offices were awful and closed in.

The whole time I was watching the show I felt like I was watching a pilot instead of the first episode of a new season. Everything is new this season and it's hard to find anybody to root for. <br /><br />You bring up brilliant comments about the decor. Don's apartment bothers me to no end. Overall I feel like the writers are trying too hard to keep up with the hype of the show and they took it too far.Jennifer Eolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355725939194563460noreply@blogger.com
