Dr Gloom 22142 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The girl who plays 11 is future star material. I haven't seen a performance that good from a kid since Natalie Portman in Leon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22142 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I made the misfortune of watching the original Harry Potter movie with the family recently. Makes you appreciate good child acting. It was unbearable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Finished stranger things. Best bit was when your boy rang the science teacher creased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 It's proper creepy as well. You'd be shitting it if you watched it on your Tod.Fell asleep watching it last night and woke up just as the end titles were running. Those alone were enough to fuck with my mind when I went to bed.

Alex 35568 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Finished it last night. Guessed the ending but I would imagine a lot of people did. It didn't diminish my enjoyment though. Great series. I've also read they're making a second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6782 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I hoped they would have a different setting for season 2 - but apparently its going to be a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22142 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Finished it last night as well. Best bit of telly I've seen since Breaking Bad, I reckon, which is saying something because there's never been this much quality TV drama about.

Happy Face 29 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Side by sides with a lot of the film references    I also enjoyed the trunk shot when the sherrif was shown the bear trap and other tools. Bit meta that one as Quentin Tarantino has used it so much it's seen as his trademark, but other films use it too, (80s films like Mad Max and Goodfellas). i think the makers were making more of a nod to him (renowned for his own pop culture references) more than any film that might have done it before him.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on you HF. Just kidding, it's an 80s film in the same way Raging Bull is a 70s film. Think I picked up on lots of those but that was still canny cool. Cheers.

Jill 0 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Only got two more episodes of Stranger Things to go. Â This is where I am. Hoping to get through them tonight after blitzing through 3 last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46016 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I've only watched 3 episodes. After being chief recommender on here too. What a bloke I am, bringing light into all of your squalid lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Finished watching this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it by the end. The first couple of episodes took a bit of getting through for some reason but glad I stuck with it. The young lass who played Eleven was excellent and the sherrif was really good too.

Gemmill 46016 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'd say it took 4 episodes to really pick up. Enjoyed it though. Â I'm 3 episodes into The Night Of, which is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Started Ray Donovan. 2 episodes in. Not been blown away so far, but the standard of TV is so high these days, it's difficult for a lot of things to keep up. Â This seems like a male led version of Scandal where the cleaner upper and his team have personal lives mixed up with professional. Â I'm surprised it's got similar Metacritic scores to Blacklist because I think it's better than that, from what little I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46016 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 It's pretty good actually. I stayed away from it for ages cos it just seemed a bit of a weak premise. It's not a patch on the really good shows you watch, but at the same time it's a cut above the run of the mill stuff you would watch. Â It absolutely shatters any hopes that Sherilyn Fenn might have aged well in season 2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4411 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I started Stranger Things over the weekend. Was getting a bit bored but its heating up a bit now - only seen the first three though. Â I'm trying to think whether that eleven looks like someone else or its just that all lasses look quite similar with skinheeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
