Re: Stranger Things (New Netflix Original Series)

finally finished. thought the second half was worlds better than the first. spent too much time on the "mystery" of everything early on as a slow build

acting was pretty poor but whatever. thought the resolution was satisfying enough

didn't think it was as good as advertised since I think a lot of the appeal was the nostalgia factor (of which I have absolutely none for 80s sci fi)

    Aside from Wynona (who you could tell me they chose only outtakes for final cut and I'd believe) who did you think struggled in the acting department?

    I loved the kid's performances but to each his own.

    I guess I thought some of the cheesy 80's acting was pretty much the point. The acting was incredibly true to the time period that the entire show is a homage to.

    Yeah I loved how dumb/aloof the parents were. They were essentially there to illustrate that the kids had parents. In no way integral and ignorant to the crazy shit their kids were up to.

    Loved that aspect.

    I think the parents played perfect 80s parents. No reason to go in the basement to check on the kids because they are just down there playing their magic game, no reason to worry about them out on their bikes because they are somewhere around the neighborhood and will be home in time for dinner.

    when i hear people older than me talk about their childhoods that's exactly what it sounds like

    Agreed - it was a perfectly paced, perfect length binge miniseries. Thought almost everything, save some of Wynona's choices, were executed perfectly.

    Yeah I agree she does that well when it's called for. She was just more often than not at 11. Hell I would be too, so I guess I can forgive some of that.

    i think the more we saw of the monster the worse it looked.

    the upside down never really lost it's "scare" factor for me. I thought it was great

    I agree about the monster. The first few episodes when you only got a glimpse of it was the best. I think the spookiest part of the whole season was when they got the image of Barbara sitting on the diving board and the creature was standing behind her. That was awesome. Wish they had left it like that. The mystery was great.

    the mystery always has to come out eventually though (jaws, cloverfield, etc). When the shark attacks the guy in the rowboat it was far scarier than when 75% of his body was in the boat eating Quint. (sorry, spoliers)

    The scariest scenes where the ones you didn't even really see the monster, like with the lights flickering or the monster starting to come through the wall

    wasn't referencing anything in particular in my post. was just making a general statement about horror films. Stranger Things did a great job at building suspense.
