Anyone here see "Stranger Things". If you love the 80s, you should see it.

Captures a lot of 80s movies genres.

1. I have it on my watch list.

My best friend says it rocks.

[Iggo]

2. I'm on episode four.

Tell me it picks up soon.

[Avalux]

5. Stick with it, you won't be disappointed.

Just don't expect all your questions to be answered at the end.

[Iggo]

14. I guess I meant episode three.

So I started watching again today and MAN! did it pick up!!!

[onehandle]

3. We watched the last two last night.

Whoever these 'Duffer Brothers' are, they hit the flavor just right.

4. I've watched it twice. Love it! Can't wait for the second season.

The intro music and graphic are great (I usually fast forward through with most series I watch). The story, the characters, the acting....superb. Absolutely wonderful nod to the 80's.

7. Loved it, can hardly wait for next season.

Twin Peaks meets H.P. Lovecraft, with a touch of X-Files.

8. One of my favorite parts was PUDDING CANS!

I remember those little cans! I remember you could cut your tongue if you tried to lick the can all the way around the top.

Haven't thought about pudding cans in a long time!

9. Loved it!

So much of the current horror/scifi these days is hopeless, gross and just plain cruel. Then again, there's a lot of simplistic corn in that genre from the 80s. Somehow this series was able to take everything wonderful from that time and make it feel fresh and intelligent.

I'm going to watch it again come October because I like to watch scary stuff in October.

[Laffy Kat]

15. Watching it.

Love that kid, Dustin!

[Orrex]

16. One episode to go, but I don't understand the hubbub

It's good and it's fun and it's entertaining, but the online explosion about it doesn't make sense to me.

What's behind the frenzy?

[aidbo]

19. I watched it and liked it. I think the hubbub is mostly due to the nostalgia factor.

Nostalgia for the 80's and 80's type movies.

[Orrex]

20. Yeah, that's probably it.

Funny that a lot of people who complain about the lack of originality in Hollywood are totally on board for this retro pastiche.


Great avatar, by the way!

[aidbo]

21. re: the avatar - Thanks.

I had to do a little minor photo editing on it because the image I found originally had... what looked like.. parts.

You can see what I mean from this image from the original game.



I actually had the game when I was a kid. It was pretty bad even by that time's standards. I never forgot it though.

[demmiblue]

24. Have you seen the documentary?

[progressoid]

17. OK, I'm half way through.

I like it!

[sarcasmo]

18. Happy it was picked up for season 2.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

22. Yes. I have watched season 1.

I liked it.
