Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

I haven't even seen it Mick, is it worth a watch? I'm a bit like General Maximus on these things.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

I enjoyed it from the first episode - It was a time warp back to the 80's for sure as that is what era the story is set in.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

It is really really good if you are into your nostalgia like I am. Wynonna Ryders character did my nut in in season 1 and they did a great job of showing why in the honest trailer.

I can't recommend it enough. If you haven't seen it pick a day now while you are off over Christmas because you'll want to watch season 1 in one day....................................and when you have finished you'll thank god that you don't have to wait for season 2 and you'll either stay up all night watching season 2 or save it until the next day.................................so set two days aside now.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Can't wait for this!

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

me neither, I am actually quite annoyed that they have announced it now knowing we have still got to wait half a ****ing year for it. :mad:

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Yay! Almost worth the Netflix sub on its own.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Great news, thanks.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Agreed, one of their best series :tu:

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

A bit of a tease for you. My new issue of SFX has come through the door and got me excited. More often than not I am disappointed with the covers because I expect something big to be on it for the relevant month like The Avengers and they go and put something like Red Dwarf or Dr Who on it instead which don't do anything for me at all.




I posted this trailer a few months ago in the TV Schedule but in case you have missed it here it is:

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

We’re late to the party ... family’s working it’s way through season 2 at the moment. Loving it. :D

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

yup, I was the same. I didn't watch season 1 when it aired because I was too busy with other stuff and I heard nothing but good things about it. About a month or so before season 2 aired last year a friend at work was absolutely hyper about it and came running up to me wanting to talk about it because she assumed I would have seen it. After listening to her go on and on about it I came home and watched all of season 1 across two days. I am glad I was able to binge watch it because it is so good that I don't think I could wait a week between each episode. I thought season 2 was even better than season 1 and I couldn't wait for it once I had seen season 1. I remember having a whinge back in January when they announced the season 3 premiere date because I hate being teased. I have had to wait 6 flipping months!

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Excellent, only 7 more sleeps :D

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

can't wait, if it wasn't for Wimbledon I would plan to watch the whole season on Friday for pure emersion and pleasure. I think I am going to try and do it on Sunday.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Finished it last night. I really wanted to binge watch it and stopped myself. I forced myself to watch one episode per night to keep the goodness going and it is killing me that it is over. I wish there were twice as many episodes and they did a 16 episode season. I thought this season was excellent and loved how the core story has developed plus what they did with the characters. In terms of my realism factor, the Mall was amazing.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

My kids keep breaking out into renditions of the Neverending Story :D

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Yeah that was fantastic, it is a great song to sing along to and i had the biggest grin on my face when they started singing. They built it up so much that i was cringing at what they were going to do but it turned out perfectly.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Did you catch the post credit scene on the last episode?

Sets up a 4th season nicely.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Yup

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Loved it, I'd say it was even more entertaining than the first 2 seasons. Also thought the nods to all those classic 70's 80's and 90's movies were neat.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

yeah it really was absolutely superb, I hope it wins something at the Golden Globes because they really deserve an award for it.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

I couldn't resist. I am racking my brains and I can confidently say that out of all the tv episodes and series I have seen this year that that is my favourite scene (and I am including GoT in that as well).

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

I have had that song stuck in my head for over a week. I didn't really like it the first time around!

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

I love it, i cant stop watching that clip i posted above

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

I daren't click on it! :banghead:

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Go for it. It has got to go down as one of the best moments in tv history.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Its nothing special, just a (short) rendition of Never Ending Story.

Personally I could quite happily skip it, I dont care for musical spots in any show.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

the thing which makes it so great though is that not only is the song and performance so good but the way the other characters react to it as well. I was happy and smiling for Dustibun and Suziepoo and laughing at the rest of them.

Not oficially confirmed yet but...

Stranger Things Season 4 To Shoot This October

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

I assume you mean fact it starts shooting, season 4 was confirmed a while ago.

Re: Stranger Things 3 coming July 4th 2019
 

Yes, should have been clearer.

Re: Stranger Things
 

Re: Stranger Things
 

Well no surprises there, it was obvious at the end of the last season that Hopper was alive.

Re: Stranger Things
 

I am going to have to go back and watch it again because I thought they killed him off.

Re: Stranger Things
 

He was standing next to a device that had the potential to connect back to the location of the USSR’s own Upside Down experiment in Siberia, when it blew up. There was a post-credit sequence at the very end of the last episode, back in Siberia, where they had a captive demagorgon, and the dialogue makes reference to “the American”. So the means to transport Hopper out of harm’s way was there, and the conclusion suggested he had in fact survived.

From a production point of view they’d have been daft to have killed him off, and they clearly know how bankable he is as he’s the subject of the one snippet of footage released so far. It was the right call if my kids’ reaction to the teaser is anything to go by.

Re: Stranger Things
 

The fact there was no body shown, indicating he could have been sucked through the portal. As well as the post credit scene in Russia, indicating they had an American captive, was enough for me to suggest he was alive

Re: Stranger Things
 

cool, I thought it was a strange move to kill him off because he was a main character and such a good one at that. The series definitely would have been diminished in his absence. What will be interesting now is to see whether he portals back or has to do it the old fashioned way and fly :) I wonder if Eleven's power evolve and she can beam him back.

Re: Stranger Things
 

A few reports I have seen also mention a fifth season.

Re: Stranger Things
 

Yeah, the last interview i read with the Duffer brothers said that they had planned for a 5 season story arc and given the success of the series they are obviously going to get it.

Re: Stranger Things
 

Re: Stranger Things
 

Just a teaser and it quite literally is a tease because it is still so flipping far away:

Re: Stranger Things
 

Yep, sometime in 2022.

Re: Stranger Things
 

Re: Stranger Things
 

I can't wait. It feels like it has been so long since we last saw them that I feel like watching it all again from the start.

Re: Stranger Things
 

Likewise. I watched “Super 8” with my boys the other week, said to them it was the inspiration behind Stranger Things, and it really was. They lapped it up. It filled the Stanger Things gap.

So if you have kids that like ST, that haven’t seen it, point them in that direction.

Re: Stranger Things
 

Re: Stranger Things
 

Yassssss

Re: Stranger Things
 

Season 4 (nine episodes) is being released two parts, on May 27th and July 1st.


As mentioned elsewhere, its been renewed for a final 5th Season.

Re: Stranger Things
 

They had might as well release it weekly

Re: Stranger Things
 

As a rule, Netflix dont do weekly releases.

Re: Stranger Things
 

AFAIK they don’t do weekly drops of their owned content at all. They only do it where they have international rights to something that’s being dropped weekly by its home network in the US (like Snowpiercer is at the moment).

Re: Stranger Things
 

I know but the way they are dropping Stranger Things in two halves over the dates they have specified pretty much works out to one episode per week.

Re: Stranger Things
 

Get over it!

Re: Stranger Things
 

Just watch one per week then. :sleep:

Re: Stranger Things
 

I think i will i retain some measure of consistency in watching the season. Having already waited 2 years, it is going to kill me watching 4 or 5 eps and really getting into this new season and then having to wait an additional month for the rest. It will be torture. Now i am thinking about it i think i am just going to wait till the second half comes out in July so i can watch them all in one go. It will tough because everyone is going to be talking about it but i think it is going to be the best way to watch it. It is great being able to watch them at your leisure. You think "just one more ep" and then you get to the end of the episode are like "omg i need to watch the next one".

Re: Stranger Things
 

You can do that but you know for a fact that there will be a huge midseason cliff hanger. Do you want that ruined for you?

Re: Stranger Things
 

Re: Stranger Things
 

This month's issue of SFX. A fantastic feature including a sticker sheet and a full size poster:

Re: Stranger Things
 

The first 7 episodes of season 4 will drop on May 27th.
The final 2 episodes will drop on July 1st, but will be almost 4 hours long (about 2 hours each I guess).

Re: Stranger Things
 

Here's the timings of each episode.

EPISODE 1: 1hr 16min
EPISODE 2: 1hr 15min
EPISODE 3: 1hr 3min
EPISODE 4: 1hr 17 min
EPISODE 5: 1hr 14min
EPISODE 6: 1hr 13min
EPISODE 7: 1hr 38min
EPISODE 8: 1hr 25min
EPISODE 9: ~2hr 30min

Re: Stranger Things
 

Wow, so even the shortest one is over an hour, and episode 9 is as long as a Marvel Film !

TBH, I dont exactly understand why they have done this, surely they could have just split it into slightly more (shorter) episodes.

Re: Stranger Things
 

Anyone else go “whoa” “oooh”. Etc. went it all went a bit Evil Dead?

Re: Stranger Things
 

Well I finally got to watch the last episode (2.5 hours is just nuts).

Overall, it was pretty good, and tied right back to explain a lot of the beginnings.

Nicely set up for the final season (2023 I assume).

Re: Stranger Things
 

I thought it was great but I had to look twice when I saw the length of the finally episode.

Re: Stranger Things
 

Looks like a judge in Florida likes it too.:D:D:D
