Time to Over-Analyze These Amazing ‘Mad Men’ Season 6 Promo Photos

By Julia Pugachevsky on

After a barrage of posters, trailers, and cast interview videos that have told us basically nothing, the release of Mad Men‘s official Season 6 is a bit of a relief. The pictures only hint at what’s to come, through the poses characters strike together, but there’s still plenty to notice. Don and Megan’s relationship still seems to have some spark to it; Betty and Henry’s, not so much. But it’s Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce’s newest partner, Joan, who stands out most of all, resplendent as an Egyptian queen in blue and gold. We also see her and Peggy together in one photo, which makes us wonder whether the two of them will be conspiring again this season. Let the over-analysis begin! … Read More

Photos of Famous Actors Recreating Legendary Scorsese Scenes

By Judy Berman on

Martin Scorsese has been all over the news lately, for both his well-received HBO documentary on George Harrison and his first 3D movie, Hugo, debuting at the New York Film Festival. So it makes sense that Harper’s Bazaar has dedicated some space to celebrating “The Age of Scorsese,” with a set of fascinating reminiscences of Marty from Jodie Foster, Tom Cruise, Steve Buscemi, and a slew of other boldface names. The article is accompanied by a set of uncannily accurate recreations of the most memorable scenes from Scorsese’s biggest films, with new actors taking over legendary roles. See Chloë Moretz (who stars in Hugo) and Keanu Reeves take over for Foster and Robert De Niro, and other great surprises, after the jump, and watch behind-the-scenes video from the shoot at the Harper’s Bazaar website. … Read More
