Volume 1 of the soundtrack coming Friday. Volume 2 coming the following Friday.
- Not sure how the soundtrack will hold up without any visuals personally.TOMMYxGUNN

I watched the first two but I think that will be it for me. It's way too much on nostalgia and not enough story. I don't have an interest in any character aside from 11.

- when you listen to a album, do you listen to the first 2 tracks and they regard the rest rubbish and trash it?severian
- Took me less than 2 songs to know Celine Dion isn't for me. So you're saying you have to experience everything in its entirety to know if you like it?zarkonite
- Take that back!Raniator

- I wanted a set so bad when i was little. I had no friend though. So I got a 'home' one and put a big antenna outside the window.ArmandoEstrada

loved the whole thing up until the interrogation scene in the final episode, seemd so ham fisted...like a bad 80's movie, but i guess that was the point.
Loved the stop-motion monster, nice touch.
I think the story was pretty weak overall but the nostalgia factor more than made up for it. Just felt cool to be taken back to childhood.

perfectly captures that 80's vibe
- This intro looks so much like something Greyscale Gorilla would do, totally awesomeGeorgesII
- Reminds me of the Halt and Catch Fire intro, which was also an '80s period show, and an excellent one at that.

- This first season had me at this music and this building typeface animation - so unbelievably good, simple, but such a excellent nod to the 80s.brandon_phillip

not a big fan of creepy stuff... is it scary?
- no, not in the least bit scary lol - its full of kids and kids could happily watch it. it's pretty much a horror spoof, not a real horror.fadein11
- it's a bit creepymonospaced
- The creature is creepy. Especially for kids.ETM
- It's basically like a PG rated movieyuekit
- If your kids watch shit like transformers movies or Men In Black then they'll be OK with this. Maybe just one or two little nightmares.microkorg
- If you think ET is scary then yes.BK

"Stranger Things was rejected by 15 to 20 networks before landing on Netflix
The summer’s breakout sci-fi series almost didn’t happen"
"most studio executives are very bad at their jobs."
- this happens all the time. the guys who did SAW were rejected time and time again here in Australia... took it to LA and made their USA millions instead.inteliboy
- If you only look at successful films, you'll find these stories. But nobody talks about the thousands of rejected scripts that eventually got made and bombed.nb

For those curious about Stephen King book cover references:
Matt Duffer: When we were developing the title sequence, I think we sent 30 paperback covers to the people who were making the title sequence. I think 20 of them were Stephen King. We made a little notebook to help sell the show when we were pitching it and the cover of it was aesthetically modelled after a Stephen King book. I think we literally took the Firestarter paperback and put a picture of a bike on an empty road.

tv shows are slowly killing movies, lots of people around me say they kind of dont want to listen to movies anymore.. everyone wants tv shows.
- Sad but trueApeRobot
- hard to beat the good ole 2 hour format though. And this although good does feel like TV a lot of the time.fadein11
- 2 hours is super short and we dont have time to really get into charaters' mind and psychology.Bennn
- erm - the hundreds of classic films of the past may be evidence to the contrary. And let's face it this isn't about characterisation is it?fadein11
- watching 80 hours of Breaking Bad is a lot of time to get into the characters mind and psychology, no 2 hours films can beat that. Its mathematics.Bennn
- I'm not saying movies sucks. :) its just, different.Bennn
- yeah of course its different but you said TV is killing cinema... it really isnt - it just can make more money in the long run which is what its all about.fadein11
- cinema has been pronounced dead so many times and always comes back and its far from dead now anyway.fadein11
- and tell them they should watch and listen to movies - it can be so dull just listening lol. (sorry)fadein11
- yeah 'listen' is a bad french to english translation, my bad ;)Bennn
- i know - sorry.fadein11
- you better be sorry! ;PBennn
- Front page material.ApeRobot
- Yeah fuck movies!yuekit
- Most TV becomes formulaic and predictable, breaking bad was guilty of that like a mofo. A lot of deus ex machina used to move the plot forward. In a movie theyzarkonite
- would have tightened the plot to keep it focused and moving forward.zarkonite
- IE: Walt would go into killer mode, snap out of it become the uncertain persona and create a deadly problem and it would get solved with his smart persona.zarkonite
