I just finished the 8 part miniseries Stranger Things.. :
My announcement earlier in the week about starting this series was more than likely not too smart.. I think I said it was a great show and it is but there are a few things that could be said as well.. It seems like if you watched shows like Poltergeist and E.T. and Alien (the alien popping out of the chest scene but not really in this show) as well as any number of other far out shows, you get why this is a pretty good show.. Episode 6 in which... Hold on here.. The sound track music wise sounds like Tangerine Dream did it.. Or one of those that were in the band when they were doing soundtrack work could be doing this.. Mostly Christoph Franke or Johaness Schmoelling or especially Paul Hasslinger since he is doing a shit ton of soundtracks now.. But it wasn't any of these guys.. But they made an appearance in the show, their music did.. Episode 6 in which Exit was played in the later half of the show.. Makes sense, the show was supposedly about the mid 80's era.. the end came and went and ****SPOILER ALERT*** (of sorts) if you ignore the final minute or so of the show it's wrapped up in a nice bow.. There is no need to sequalize it.. But as you might know there is a season two so... There you go.. Very good show and if you have seen episode one you likely have seen the whole show in binge watch form.. Yeah it's that good...
Have you ever started watching a show and thought to yourself.. (self) I've seen this before... Such was the case with The Road..:
While I even took precautions to preview it a little I wasn't sure even though I had rated it.. (that thing you do to let your voice be heard about how good or shitty a movie is).. I rated it from seeing it before but even still I rewatched it.. It's a good movie.. About the end of the world.. Was by nuclear annihilation (?) or something in the realm of the Earth just gave up and sent everything into a death spiral.. No zombie apocalypse here, just people dying of life ending.. Watching the trees fall because they just do when it stops living.. We join our couple as the are making for the coast to be... Somewhere else.. Constantly searching for food and water and reason to live... The movie is shot almost entirely in a sepia/colour filter that make colours be gone.. A dismal future it is..
Jane got a gun.. A shoot em up western.. Sometimes its just fun to watch a western movie..
A Life Less Ordinary.. Watched this oldie from '97 (hard to say that is an oldie) and it's a bit romcom but strangely good.. I dozed a bit through it... Good movie though.. Strange but fun..
I watched the bronco game.. in an earlier post I said that Sanchez would get the start at the beginning of the season but he likely wouldn't be the starter for very long especially if he went back to his old ways.. Well he didn't even make it to the first regular season game.. Last night was game three of the preseason and that is dress rehearsal for the regular season.. And that meant Trevor Seimien gets the start and showed why.. He looked relatively good and then Paxton Lynch got the second half and Mark Sanchez got to dress up but not take a single snap.. What that means is he will likely get to play in the forth preseason game.. It will go Trevor for first posesion then Paxton for the rest of the first half, then Sanchez for the rest of the game.. Denver will likely shop him around if they can.. Dallas needs a QB severly.. though there is no need to trade, cutting him will get the cap space and get their draft pick back.. it was conditional to him making the team.. that may not happen.. What will happen this season?? trevor will start the season as the starter.. Pax will get work during games sort of like preseason but a platoon effect won't happen.. Kubiak doesn't seem like the type that likes to play alternating QB's every series.. He likely will bring Paxton in in the second half if the game is a semi blow out.. How will the season go?? I'm thinking the super bowl is still in range, the defense is great, the offense could be better this year than last year but it depends entirely on what the QB does, if he (they) manage the game then things will be fine.. But if they are depended upon to win the games it might not happen.. The division is tougher this year mostly because the QB position is an unknown in Denver.. If Trevor is the man then things will look a lot like last year.. The defense could end up scoring a lot of points or being the reason why Denver wins games.. Just like Last year.. Defense wins titles.. Give me a defense and an ok offense and I like our chances.. Denver versus any NFC team in the super bowl... I like our chances.. Stay healthy guys.. Tall order...

P.S. Having to read through all that and there's a Post Script too??? Yes.. Well after all was said and done I looked at a video that was left from the Stranger Things trailer and so I opened them.. Here is a video with the 80's references I was talking about.. :
And then a true ****SPOILER ALERT***** video as the guy gives a full synopsis of the show so if you haven't seen the show and plan to DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO... And if you have then watch and get some of the questions asked.. Also if you need incentive to watch the show, watch this but be warned the series is 8 shows long so he pretty much spoils the plot completely. :
Be warned this pretty much gives it all away.. )
P.S. +=+
Added because I don't want another entry.. Here...
Fifty facts.. 46 and 47 were combined so I'll add number 51 Tangerine Dream and the fact the entire music score sounds like them.. Very dreamy sound of the opening segment music, very Tangerine Dream Like... )
