Did anyone else watch Preacher?
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I did, Dana. I really liked it--the visual style was incredibly appealing to me and the three leads were all great, I thought.
Some movies/shows have created a vital world that, for some reason, just makes me want to live in the screen--not necessarily in the STORY, but in the mood and the image. Desperately Seeking Susan did that to me when it came out. The French film Diva. Mad Men sometimes did it. It's entirely beyond analysis--I just want to consume the feel of the onscreen world. Preacher does that to me as well. Does this happen for anyone else?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Does this happen for anyone else?
Absolutely. I never understood why people called Blade Runner a dystopia - I totally wanted to live there.
Also wanted to live in the worlds of Northern Exposure, Pushing Daisies, Mad Men...

Yeah, me, too. This happens with books even more often. When I was a teenager I wanted to live in Charles de Lint's worlds.

It was bugfuck crazy, usually in a very entertaining way. Not having read the comics, the finale episode was a huge Holy Shit.

I just started Mr. Robot today. I have not read anything, just heard so many people say how good it is and I could not resist Rami anymore.
I am 2 eps in and I feel like I am being Fight Clubbed. I hope not though.

That's funny, I also started Mr. Robot recently and am about two episodes in.
(Also just started Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.)

I started Mr. Robot with the current season. It's good at this point (although I definitely had to go online for backstory). Is it available on Hulu or suchlike? I'm not seeing it on Netflix.

It's exclusive on Amazon, which you might surmise from the product placements they have on the show.

Sweet! I have Prime, so that works out perfectly. Thanks, Tom!
