    Mad Men

    I only remember the mention of it in the beginning of the season after the miscarriage. Now that was a plot point that lead nowhere (it just helped at creating contrast with the mistress I guess).

    Am I wrong or was the decision by Megan and Don to not have children together happened off screen (possibly between season 5 and 6)?

    It's a funeral for their ratings possiblyI am pretty sure swiss televison is not overjoyed to have paid huge TV rights only to see all the swiss players ousted after three days along with some crowd favorites such as Nadal and Tsonga. I don't know about you, but there are not that many Murray...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    About Buckley's video: I disagree with one of his point: waging the console war is not (only) about feeling defined by the console you own and feeling attacked when someone attacks the console of your choosing, it's (also) about caring about the video games as a medium and since the different...

    Day 3: Seed-ageddon or how the bottom half of the draw does not look so tough anymore. Sadly I only get to see some of the afternoon matches and the last set of the Federer match but: - Darcis could not play because of his shoulder: Kubot goes through. - Hewitt faced an on fire Brown...

    Mad Men

    The thing is where you see deception and facades and manipulation, I see someone who went to New York from Canada to become an actress, found an entry level job to survive while doing castings and classes, did not make it as an actress, fell in love with her boss, grew interested in copy...

    What's the story behind your Rerolled name?

    EQ name for an Iksar female. It was meant to be Sylia, but at the time there was no support for non-Qwerty keyboard so it accidentally became Szlia (z and y are switched on swiss keyboards along with punctuation being in different places). When I noticed the mistake after a couple of hours, I...

    Mad Men

    Let's conveniently forget that Megan never misrepresented herself and that she is, in fact, good at everything she does. What an abominable flaw! Oh and Iannis said "But Don can do better for himself even if that is just himself." I'll concede it's not the same as saying he deserved better.

    Routine (fps horror/stealth/scifi)

    There is a bit of an Echo Night Beyond vibe. Sounds good.

    I like the fact Megan made one dubious, yet understandable, decision over the span of three seasons and suddenly she is a terrible terrible person. Surely, Don who makes five of those decisions per episode deserves better!

    I am watching Blake against De Bakker and the dutchman is blowing a gasket: Blake is pummeling him. Winners from everywhere, all the time, hardly any unforced error. 6-1 6-3 for Blake at the moment.

    Trailer for what could be the best martial arts movie of all time

    From Jackie Chan I also recommend Twin Dragons for some kung-fu comedy with crazy use of sets and props. From 5:45.

    Trailer for what could be the best martial arts movie of all time

    This list is incomplete! The Lady Hermit from 1968 is not in it! (I noticed that trying to establish my Shaw Score... but it's very difficult because some of these movies are memorable, but others... not so much!)

    Hingis had no power, but she had a great hand and a tennis I.Q. off the charts. You don't win 5 grand slams in single and 9 in doubles by accident. Her spiritual successor is Radwanska, not Wozniacki. The heiress of this tradition is Belinda Bencic who just won the junior event at the French Open.

    The other day on Tennis TV they were showing the qualifications of 's-Hertogenbosch. It caught my eye, because there was a swiss player being televised: Stephane Bohli. The guy is an ok tennis player, pretty complete game, but if he has a great quality or a big weapon I have yet to discover it...

    The Last of Us

    I was a bit disappointed in Uncharted 3. It has its moments, but it felt too much like they slapped a story on top of a bunch of set pieces to artificially tie them together (that's probably also how they worked for N?2, but it flows better). Some of the set pieces are great though, but some are...

    Miami Herald stole my fire because I was about to say the trailers looked like a mix of Watchmen and Tree of Life while the movie was a mix of Avatar and Transformers. To be fair, there are bits and pieces that are pretty awesome, chiefly the flying fight between Zod and Kal-El (but also a...

    Well it was super windy in Eastbourne and Vesnina handled the condition a little better and played the important points better, so Hampton lost on an unflattering scoreline. Oh well... Mahut won the title against Wawrinka in the Netherland. First career title at 31, first final since 2003 or...

    A single note on the WTA: Jamie Hampton is awesome. I saw some bits and pieces of some of her matches at the French and it made me want to see more and boy I was not disappointed. She is playing in Eastbourne at the moment and reached the final after going through the qualifications. On her...

    Nah... you can't sell a machine based on a set of requirements and then suddenly totally change these requirements after selling a bunch of them. It would lead to a class action.

    At least it was not the blow out that was feared, but Duncan will be haunted all his life by this missed layup, unless he somehow finds his way to another final and win it.

    Trailer for what could be the best martial arts movie of all time

    I must say I am not a big fan of the Bruce Lee movies, so I was trying to find a good example of a great martial art movie from Hong Kong that is older than Bloodsports. Truth be told, a lot of the classics by Chang Cheh are very campy after all these years and even John Woo's homage to his...

    Emma Watson's Queen of the Tearing

    Knightley's performances for Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Anna Karenina) are just stunning. I was a little less convinced but still very impressed by her performance in Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method (the grimacing was a bit much for me, but it produced a feeling of unease that...

    Emma Watson's Queen of the Tearing

    I only saw Emma Watson in The Bling Ring (oh and in a two lines part in My Week with Marilyn) and I was not overly impressed by her acting (that's an euphemism, but the nature of her character and/or Coppola's direction might be to blame).
