Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Looks like TNT will be re-running a couple of episodes of Leverage starting next hour.

Art Crawl!!!

AMC confirms that Mad Men won't be back 'til early 2012.

Yikes.

“Not dead yet!”

Just saw that, sumi-- AMC wants to axe two actors to save money, lop two minutes off each episode for more commercials, and also incorporate product placement, which-- how in HELL are they going to manage that in a 60s-set series is beyond me.

I was almost hoping that AMC would cancel it and maybe HBO or Showtime or STARZ would pick it up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I wonder what kind of product placement they have for Breaking Bad. Sudafed?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

They did a nice job with the Heineken product placement on Mad Men, but I imagine that takes a lot of effort.

“Not dead yet!”

BMW's been one of their big commercial sponsors but it wasn't a car I imagine a lot of people were driving around in during the 60s, with the emphasis on buy American.

And how many products exist now in a similar fashion to how they did in the 60s? They've got Coke and maybe stuff like Kraft Mac n' Cheese.

The bottom line, however, is I just can't see Matt Weiner compromising his vision of the show to try to shoehorn in products. But what do I know? I suspect the attempted axing of two actors might be of greater import.

And I would appreciate it if the writers would cease making the female characters such asshats. Truly.
