Only Wocky would consider a hurt deer to be dishonorable.

 

there's apparently Molly Ringwald groupies who want her to be in season 2 even though she is dead! I mean Nancy's friend with the red hair someone on here I forget who called her Molly Ringwald, I thought that was hilarious! LOL!

 

It was heavily implied that the deer was taking food from humans without paying.

 

according to the Page on Wikipedia she is not dead she is Very much alive why are you saying she is dead laolica randulphi that is upsetting

 

I'm glad I amuse you. Payback for all the times you've amused me.

I recuse myself from this friendship.

Some great quotes from this show!

 

Two chapters down so far and am loving it.

 

Just finished it last night...what an engaging eight episodes that was. Can't wait for season 2.

 

I've ordered volume 1 of the OST

 

did you order it on Blu-ray?

 

Why would he order the soundtrack on blu-ray, Leonard?

 

Watched Stranger Things in the past week - superb series, and one of the best TV shows I've ever seen - period. It obviously helps that I'm an '80's kid, and have fond memories of that era. I actually liked the show so much that I want to watch it again in the next couple of weeks

I was amazed at how well The Duffer Bros. made this not only look like an '80's show, but also made it have the vibe/tone of an '80's series as well. If I hadn't known better, I would honestly have thought I was watching a recently-unearthed & long-lost series from that period:

-The PQ was similar to what you would have seen in an '80's TV series.

- No elaborate editing cuts, etc. like you saw in the '90's - on films/TV shows.

-Amazing '80's new wave soundtrack - just off the top of my head, I remember hearing: Modern English, Joy Division, Duran Duran, and many other great artists/songs from that era.

- The synthesizer music - only in '80's TV series/movies would you have heard a soundtrack like this (maybe early '90's as well).

- The effects were not obvious in your face CGI, but more subtle - i.e., similar to effects you would have seen in an '80's series/movie back in the day.

-Cool details like The Dark Crystal, Evil Dead, and Jaws posters; the Star Wars toys (Millenium Falcon), the kids playing Dungeons & Dragons, etc.

Re: the story, very compelling as well. It seemed like a combination of The Goonies, E.T., Labyrinth, and Alien/Aliens to some extent; it also brought to mind the '80's Twilight Zone & Amazing Stories TV series.

The main "monster" (that wasn't seen that much until the finale) was great, as was the "alternate universe" with the snow, etc.

Eleven was an amazing character! Very impressive acting here; the actress never said much, but conveyed a lot of emotion/feeling through her expressions/body language, etc.

It was refreshing that that the show's writers didn't go with the obvious cliché & have the outcast kid (with the camera) end up with the girl; I was slightly surprised that they had the jerk bully kid have a change of heart & get the girl at the end - but, again, it was nice to see a non-predictable ending here.

It was also a nice touch to have Winona Ryder & Matthew Modine as stars in the series, since they were well known '80's teen icons back in the day.

 

Watching Stranger Things made me go back and reread the great 1980 Walter Abish novel: How German Is It.

I wish the title of the series had been "How 80s Is It" That would have been perfect.

 

jonathan is the ****ing worst

 

We decided to watch the first episode yesterday, since the weather was interfering with normal TV, and I ended up watching the entire season. The premise and execution are excellent. I have always enjoyed stuff like The Goonies and E.T. which were clearly an influence on this and I am technically a product of the 80s, so it shouldn't really be any surprise that I like it.

 

Was anyone else getting annoyed when that kid kept dropping the Falcon?
