If you thought Don Draper getting off an airplane in slow motion made for an exhilarating teaser trailer for Mad Men's final season, this new clip ups the ante by including more characters while still saying absolutely nothing about what's to come. Even the tagline – "It's all up in the air" – is about as delightful and frustrating as any "Next week on Mad Men…"
This clip keeps the airplane/travel theme going, showing Megan Draper exiting a cab at an airport (where's she going?!), Betty Draper Francis blowing smoke...

Not everything about Mad Men is retro in the latest teaser for the first part of season 7. The clip shows the Mad crew slo-moing through an airport in an era where air-travel still represented a certain amount of luxury — but the accompanying song comes from British soul singer Alice Russell, who hadn’t even been born when Don and Roger were still ogling stewardesses flight attendants. The song, “Let Go (Breakdown),” is hardly a year old. (Will it irk Matthew Weiner that Russell’s tune was already co-opted by The Blacklist? Yes. Yes it will.)
Still, “Let Go” does capture...

AMC has released a new promo for Season 7 of "Mad Men," and like several other pieces of its marketing campaign, it's heavy on airport imagery and helium-light on anything related to story developments.
The 30-second spot, set to "Breakdown" by Alice Russell and first posted at E!, is essentially a video version of the cast photo shoot. Megan (Jessica Pare) is still getting out of a cab; the guy in the greenish suit behind her still kind of looks like Lane Pryce; Betty (January Jones) is still smoking at the curb; Don (Jon Hamm) is still on that Twa stairway.
One new wrinkle is the first appearance in any of the promos of Pete (Vincent Kartheiser). You see him here at the ticket counter, his tie and lapels widening with the approach of the '70s. There's also a new, vague, air travel-related tagline, "It's all up in the air,...

Megan gets out of a taxi. Peggy carries a suitcase. Don stands on top of the Bluth mobile stair-car. Okay, so maybe the last part isn't exactly true, but dreaming is about all we can do when it comes to the latest season of "Mad Men." The new teaser trailer (posted below) sheds very little light on what's to come in season seven of the acclaimed AMC show, but its airplanes seem to be a focus. Perhaps Don has closed a deal with someone a little bigger than Mohawk? Maybe he's traveling more with his new found "freedom." We'll have to wait until April 13th to find out, but for now, enjoy the musical stylings of Alice Russell's "Breakdown" played over some pretty pictures of our favorite ad men (and women). ...

Here's another inscrutable Mad Men teaser, with various characters at the airport, moving in slow motion to Alice Russell's "Breakdown." Is everyone breaking down? Are they there to see Don off? To greet him as he arrives? Or is everyone heading out on his or her own journey? And where's Joan? This promo combines the previous promo of Don on the stairs of a plane with the psychedelic color palette of the season seven poster, so now we know … even less about what the new season will include. Vagaries aside, at least this promo captures that glassy-eyed confusion one gets when seeing signs for arrivals and departures: Wait, I am arriving at the airport, you think for a second, before you realize your true purpose is to depart from the airport, and so you follow that arrow instead. Thank you, Mad Men promo department, for portraying that aspect of...

U.K. singer Alice Russell is on our radar. We first heard the singer on Los Angeles NPR station, Kcrw. Thanks Anne Litt! The rich soul singer can growl, belt and caress a lyric like no one we have hear since the likes of Amy Winehouse, with rounded Adele flourishes and earthy Vesta Williams touches. Russell brings her distinct sound with a U.S. tour, kicking off Oct. 5 at The Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C. Her new, raw album, To Dust, evokes love lost and won. And if you really like what you hear, here are her tour dates. Oct. 5 - The Howard Theatre - Washington Oct. 6 - World Cafe - Philadelphia Oct. 7 - Highline Ballroom -...
