(Netflix) Stranger Things

So a 7 or 7.5 being "very honest" in your opinion is a blanket rating scope for what everyone else should be rating it?

I don't put number ratings to anything but the way this show captivated me and how it made me feel when I was at that age in the same exact era on top of how
the show is quality from top to bottom makes my opinion much different. Only thing is I'm not labeling my opinion as one everyone should agree with and saying those who don't agree with me are members of a specific sub-culture.

You say your rating is only your opinion but then continue to label others who don't agree with you.

Good interview with the creators of the show on the next season: http://www.ew.com/article/2016/08/31...uffer-brothers

Everyone will be back…Well, maybe.

While some, including EW’s own James Hibberd, have argued the series should be an anthology, the Duffers opted to tell a continuing story in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. Still, the pair toyed around initially with flashing forward a bit before settling on continuing the story in 1984. “I don’t think we ever thought anthology,” says Ross Duffer. “I think we talked like a larger time jump where the kids are older now and it’s a different decade. That’s something we batted around from the very beginning. But for us, there’s still more story here [in the 1980s], there’s still things that are unresolved.” So, expect to see the return of Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Joyce (Winona Ryder), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), etc. “We don’t know about Eleven,” says Ross Duffer. “We leave that up in the air.”

There will be newbies.

The Duffers reveal there are four new characters popping up in season 2. “There’s going to be a lot of new and interesting dynamics that we didn’t see in season 1,” says Matt Duffer. There are nine titles in the recently released teaser, including one called “The Lost Brother.” Could that be one of the new characters?

James Cameron is a season 2 influence.

Just as they modeled season 1 after a movie, they look at season two as a blockbuster’s sequel. “I know movie sequels get a lot of s—, but the ones we look up to aspire to pivot and do something different,” explains Matt. “There’s Temple of Doom, Aliens, Terminator 2. I guess a lot of this is James Cameron. But he’s brilliant. And I think one of the reasons his sequels are as successful as they are is he makes them feel very different without losing what we loved about the original. So I think we kinda looked to him and what he does and tried to capture a little bit of the magic of his work.”

Hawkins won’t be the only setting.

“We will venture a little bit outside of Hawkins,” says Matt of Things’ small Indiana town. “I will say the opening scene [of the premiere] does not take place in Hawkins.”

But we will return to the Upside Down.

The Duffers want to go further into Things’ alternate dimension. “We kinda just peeled back the curtain and revealed a tiny bit of the Upside Down,” says Matt. “So we definitely want to explore a little bit more. There’s a lot we don’t know about the Upside Down at the end of season 1.” Adds Ross: “We obviously have this gate to another dimension, which is still very much open in the town of Hawkins. And a lot of questions there in terms of, if the Monster is dead, was it a singular monster? What else could be out there? We really don’t go in there much until they go in to find Will at the end. So we’ve opened up this doorway, and to us it’s exciting to talk about, like, what else is behind there? There’s a lot more mystery there to be solved.”

Season 2 will be longer than season 1.

For those who thought season 1 was too short, the second installment of Things will be nine episodes — one installment longer than the first. But the Duffers don’t want it to get too big. “We’re letting the story dictate it,” says Matt. “I think if it gets any longer, it gets unwieldy for us. We want to make sure it’s manageable and we want to be able to tell a movie-like story where it’s never treading water. We want it to have the same feel and pacing as season 1. I think if we extend it too much, it will have a very different feel.”

Aside from mentioning hipsters, i didnt label anyone. It was all a reference to an attitude and... rather silly thing we see now.
I said that their bullshit of all or nothing that we see sssoooo often with everything now and this aspect of no middle ground, that something is a 1 or 10, has seemed to bleed over to the average consumer in this case. This use of the idea that "nostalgia" is now on par with writing quality or production quality. Its sad to see this bleed into normal society and those who would otherwise, grade a movie properly based on writing, production, directing, etc. where nostalgia has its role, but does not change someones honesty about the film.

Like it or not, thats simply how i feel. We see it too often now where nostalgia qualifies as 3 or 4 points on a 10 point scale, where 3/4ths of the audience, wont get this nostalgia but will go in with these expectations... then wonder why they dont really remember the flick a week later while some how the movie/show being ranked with Citizen Kane or Jurassic Park or the few movies that stick with you for life.
