Posted on June 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

John Slattery’s Emmy-nominated performance as the pompous Roger Sterling on Mad Men has led to a number of film roles for the 48-year-old actor: He’s turned up in Reservation Road , Charlie Wilson’s War , and — more recently — in The Adjustment Bureau (out on DVD next week), playing a supernatural, crisply-suited agent named Richardson who’s responsible for breaking up two fate-defying romantics (Matt Damon and Emily Blunt). Movieline caught up with Slattery to discuss filming The Adjustment Bureau , wariness about Roger Sterling knockoff roles, and the breakneck pace of directing Mad Men .

5 Simple Improvements That Could Have Changed The Adjustment Bureau From Good To Great

Posted on March 6, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s a pain to waste your time watching a bad movie, but how much more frustrating is it to watch an okay movie and realize how much better it might have been with just a couple tweaks here and there? The Adjustment Bureau was, as the President might say, likeable enough — an intriguing concept, congenial stars, and a cool look to the whole thing — but as Roger Ebert says , it’s “a smart and good movie that could have been a great one if it had a little more daring.” So what are the five easy ways that The Adjustment Bureau could go from DVD recommendation to a must-see-movie?

5 Other Necessary Mad Men Tumblrs

Finally, internet memes even a lout like Roger Sterling can get behind. We’ve mentioned Sad Don Draper and Pete Campbell’s Bitchface , two Tumblr accounts devoted to capturing the hilarity of certain Mad Men screenshots, captioning them, and sometimes photoshopping them to reference pop culture. But there’s still a slew of Mad Men characters waiting for their chance at viral glory, and we’ve got five in mind for those who care to develop these sorts of things, along with three scenes each to get them started.

Cast and Crew of Mad Men Singing ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ Just As Awesome As You’d Hope

Posted on April 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Here’s the funniest thing you’ll see all day: the cast and crew of Mad Men doing a spoof of the Ann-Margret classic, “Bye Bye Birdie.” Apparently — or at least according to the info section on its YouTube page — the video was done for creator Matthew Weiner, likely at the end of season three. Things to take note of, beyond that shot of John Slattery in a ginger wig: the joy on the normally joyless face of January Jones; Jon Hamm cutting a rug; Rich Sommers (Harry Crane) possibly naked; and Elisabeth Moss fiddling with her Blackberry. Also: Robert Morse, looking as sprightly as ever. Watch after the jump and prepare to spend the rest the day with “Birdie” stuck in your head.
