MAD MEN - "The meaner you are, the more I like you" 1.12

[PeterElz]

An impressive scene how honest and romantically a man translates his admiration for a woman and Joan's cool collective response is what makes these scene even more intriguing. Mad men is superb in showing complicated and loving relations between men and women and Christina Hendricks is one of the beautful female archetypes portrayed in it and an important reason for it's success.

Paul blew it by blabbing about Joan, and she told him so.

I want to see a Mad Men 2010. Whoever is still alive from those characters observing today's generation of dumb***es - in advertising. Is Joan a revered elder stateswoman (survivor) of the industry by now, getting her picture taken with a rap artist at the Grammys?

[adhfan75]

Paul Kinsey and Joan? lol! Never would've put those two together.

[Bluestockings31]

I'm still hoping she leaves her douchebag husband and gets back with Paul. He seems to be the only guy she's ever been with who truly respects her.

I love this scene so much. There's a lulling spark to it, it's so intimate and serene. Perfectly creates the feeling of being buzzed and calm and being with someone that you feel comfortable with. The wide shot of them dancing is very endearing and romantic.

I think what I like best about it, though, it that it's not some huge, important moment in the narrative. The show wasn't trying to lead into a relationship for them or develop anything, really. It was just a lovely moment between them.

[levilisko]

good acting... but i guess drama is not for me

[golddustwoman83]

Maybe I just don't remember the finer points of the scene with Paul's play, but why is Joan mad at him here? What did he blab about (re: the "you have a big mouth" remark)?

[blacknosugarnocream]

He blabbed about them being together and there was nothing worse for a woman's reputation (then or now) than for a man to tell all. *lol*

[godnlenora]

joan a mean girl when it comes to men and joan and paul make a nice couple.

[mpjrdldn]

Do you think Paul has any idea that she was seeing Roger?

[godnlenora]

joan a tough cookie when she with the guys.

[argtunu]

She's a lot meaner to him in season two!

[jaspermatty]

I love his apartment-fantastic mid-century modern!

[argtunu]

You mean the office? Or his apartment we see in season two?

[Beatlescutie93]

She's got my dream body.

[kendrablake]

ditto

[cdelitocdelito]

This show is great. Season two is really good, but season one was so incredible. Man, I'm so impressed with it. Great idea for a show period.

[Eleazar73]

Saw him in Fifth of July, with Jessalyn Gilsig, Parker Posey and Robert Sean Leonard a while back.

He played the Jeff Daniels character, if I recall.

[msmadgirl]

Thanks for the notice - the title was correct, but I typo'd the description!

[devincigirl]

its actually scary how much he does look like orson welles

[kikifruity]

This scene really was fantastic. I really like the dynamic these two have--I hope they explore it more next season.

[captain07234]

He does look like Orson Welles, if they ever do a movie with Orson Welles as a character they've got the actor.

[hollywoodliberal]

ah... I like these two.

[laurenisalltherage]

What a great scene.

[mshades]

An excellent scene!
