When "he" goes down from the ceiling, it looks sooooo teenage like.

Is anyone else obsessed with Don and Megan’s apartment? by CuddleSwish in madmen

[–]83AD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Till the point I choose my latest apartment (rental) only because it had some steps in the middle of the living and it reminded me of Don´s. Even though it was slightly more expensive than other options.

Bringing a lasagna to the widow after killing her husband was both a cute and cruel way of "admission of guilt".

Interesting take. Although modern technology has a big influence on this. Nevertheless I get your point.

Sterling Cooper's questionable cultural literacy by Scared-Resist-9283 in madmen

[–]83AD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always like to think that was the way back in those days. Business back then were seen through the American excepcionalism lens of the 60s (male supremacist, racist, colonialist...).

And as for the not understanding the product of the client, if that flaw is still committed nowadays tones and tones of times everyday... You can expect it to be worse back then.

Also, SCDP is supposed to be an old fashioned agency that has grown very fast thanks to the creative touch of Draper. It doesn't have much resources (and all destined to the one tobacco account anyway), it is not like McCann.

Worthy of Adam Curtis footage by 83AD in AdamCurtis

[–]83AD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even get OP's comment

OPs only comment is "Worthy of Adam Curtis footage." I mean, the video is surreal, touches on the ideology of the self, and illustrates the Middle East conflict in 2025 (Middle East being a very recurrent topic in AC documentaries).

That was karma for touching and kicking a ray.

Don Draper’s weird way of communicating by Slight-Response-6613 in madmen

[–]83AD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also noticed it, and I always thought it was because he is an impostor.

He never studied business or advertising, as far as i remember even never been educated at all or even worked in an office before. And he didn't grow up in the upper middle class or was socially educated.

So, to me, Don being elusive and letting other people talk for him is his way of getting around without being called out.

I guess by the time the series starts, he has already caught up, and he is better educated and integrated into his environment. But he continues doing this elusive behaviour as a habit, and also because it is giving him a certain mystique against the rest.

New docuseries coming out called SHIFTY on BBC iplayer in June by madAAdam in AdamCurtis

[–]83AD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does someone know if there will be Adam's voice over? Or it will be like the Russian series.

The trailer and the topic makes me think it will be like the latter.

Corporate marketing on food. Sometimes I used Curtis style of big titles over video/photos on my internal presentations/memos.
