Unpopular opinions

I have the #scoop you guys!

A persons preference of breakfast vs lunch can heavily be explained by the overall quality of food they eat. That is, someone who spends more time/money or has a bigger opportunity to eat high quality foods will prefer lunch over breakfast. That's why I think the bigger city folks who have a lot more good food options are going to end up pro-lunch while smaller city people might be pro-breakfast.

It's easier to make a fancy breakfast than a fancy lunch, and if food options are limited, lunch and dinner can become somewhat repetitive and boring, while breakfast is more unique or whatever. So I can see if you live in a place without a ton of monte ethnic and experimental food, you might prefer breakfast over lunch.

luckily, you're moving to a small town with shit food options in a month or two and can let us know if this is true

I think Jon Hamm has improved his acting significantly since season 1. He's also funny as hell when he does comedies, so I don't buy that argument that Hamm is an average actor at this juncture.
 
Mad Men can be mad boring. The kids on the show - Sally, Glen, Bobby - are pretty plastic actors too.

I could understand people doubting Hamm's acting chops early on. Now that he's shown up in a lot of different things and it's pretty clear he's kind of a cornball in real life, his work as Don/Dick is brilliant.

By the way, here is a clip of 25 year old Jon Hamm on "The Big Date."

??

also, yes re: the baseball movie; though that looks more like a function of the movie itself.

Happens frequently with kids in multi-year shows. They change a lot over 7 years, and end up being pretty average. The funniest is when they turn out to be ugly.

He is perfect as Don Draper. Doesn't seem to be very flexible though.

ETA: Agree with Ph, Sally is pretty awesome. I haven't watched the current season but up through last year she was good.

i just love the idea of awkward jon hamm bombing an audition
 
sometimes i wonder if bad or average actors got to where they were in their careers strictly on their DONGS or TITS

LOL that video. Hope she got a look at his groin region to make the choice a bit easier.
 
I saw more of it a few weeks ago. He didn't get picked by her or the next girl to pick.
