Did an interview with the creators a few weeks back: http://www.indyweek.com/indyweek/two-brothers-funnel-their-nostalgia-for-eighties-era-durham-summers-into-new-netflix-series-stranger-things/Content?oid=5051936

I feel so alone, haha. I don't get it. It's a weak (and shameless) mishmash of Spielbergian 80's cliches with a Tangerine Dream soundtrack (plus nostalgic radio hits, of course) and I'm wondering...what am I missing?? It feels like a hundred bad movies on VHS. Is that the appeal? I'm sincerely baffled.

Any opening credit sequence montages that you liked?

Hard nosed female protagonists that you like. Go.

Would the Whiplash script have beaten Birdman?

Sounds like "Ascending" is the wrong adjective.

Guys- the movie may horrendous or whatever- but let's not make fun of filmmakers still trying to create original content. In a world where derivative garbage like TAKEN or SAFEHOUSE does huge numbers at the box office, let's support movies that actually have ambition. That are trying to give us something new. Rather than flawless films- like TAKEN, like SAFEHOUSE- that trot out the same played garbage.

I guess we need to start getting coverage from the DPRK.

It's hard to find a more dangerously misguided director on the planet than Oliver Stone. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oliver-stone-planning-doc-russian-747366

On Castro-- he's an interesting character. Many Cubans hate his rule, but many others, more so a broad swath of Latin America, look at him, even if they don't agree with all his policies, as a hero of sorts for giving America's govt the finger for last however many decades. This little guy on a little island, standing up to the biggest empire in the world. I think that's more of what Stone was admiring. His standing up to the U.S. government.

Unsure if I should be really excited about the Fargo FX series or somewhat wary of it. Great cast and pedigree, so hoping for the best. Big fan of the film.

I watched the first hour last night on screener. Billy Bob Thornton is awesome, Martin Freeman is okay (hard not to be listening for his accent to break), and the plot takes some serious TURNS. The show is good enough to be really exciting, and a very interesting idea to take an existing film and set a TV show within its world, without using the characters or story, just the themes. Huge potential, hope it keeps it up.
