That being said, I still love the Don Draper character. Every guy wants to be more like him, but there is probably more bad than good.

After checking out the Titanic exhibit at the Luxor in Vegas the other day, I wanted to watch the movie again so I did so on Netflix last night (recently added!). Amazing how it's been a decade and a half already since women were swooning over a younger Leo and dudes were lamenting the movie's entire "uneventful" first half.

I used to go along with the masculine hatred when I was younger, but secretly always enjoyed the flick. It's just...why the hell couldn't he try once more to find a spot on that plank of wood?!

Also, I feel bad for whomever actually ended up marrying Rose. You know she was mind-boning Jack Dawson for the entire duration of her life.

So if its the same as the exhibit I have been too... Did you die or survive at the end? When i lived in Branson , they had one. You got a card at the front and at the end you opened it. It told you whether you lived or died. I died every F'in time.

Dead. Dead dead dead. My girlfriend lived though. She was a baby who ended up going on to be the last living survivor. I felt greasy being a 48 year old first class passenger dating a third class baby. I mean, third class?!

Mythbusters took this one on. turns out that Cameron actually got this right, that size of broken plank made out of the type of wood it was would not have held both of them. they did figure out that if Rose had taken off her life jacket and tied it around the plank so that it sat underneath, it would have boosted the buoyancy enough so that they might have both been able to fit on. but as neither of them were MacGuyver, i guess they never thought of that

Such is love I guess. Never more than one forgotten life jacket away from the cold, hard depths of misery.

I think the writers could have taken off with this if they wanted but decided to focus the show back on Don.

What I was trying to get across was that she is the heart of the show.l She is the good conscience. She is the opposite of Don and makes him successful whether he likes it or not. She is in the true, pure sense, a Madison Avenue man.

Hey man, well said. Especially around season 2-3, I felt like Mad Men was the story of Peggy Olson, as told through the lens of Don Draper's world. With her moving to a different agency, I'm not sure how much screen time she'll get next season. I imagine she'll be back with Don at some point.

Don Draper is such a complex character, the way they've written for him has fascinated me to no end. They don't pardon his adultery but show us that it comes from a much deeper, deeper place then just a guy looking for a good time. I love flawed characters like him, ones that are not all sunshine and alpha male all the time.

You got my joke though right?

Don Draper is one of the most raging butt holes on television and I love him for it.

Peggy has had one of the better character arcs in television history. I always find myself wondering how she turns out, where she would be in the 70s or 80s and 90s. She's also one of the few characters on the show that you can legitly root for without feeling like a a bad person.

I guess Pete would be #3, I love how he was the only guy that won in season 5, just to make all the other characters miserable years seem so much more miserable.

Transformers and GI Joe the 80's cartoons have been added to Netflix today.

Few good documentaries along with the English Patient and Buried for movies added as well.

I finally found a website that lists every new release, and also has movies that are expiring. It also has a link to each movies IMDB Page and it's Rotten Tomatoes rating. The best website I have found yet and they have a really good twittter account
