I Read A Lot About How Stranger Things Is Scary. I Dont Really Find Stranger Things Very Scary, Its Not

https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangerThings/comments/8hjawu/spoilers_stranger_things_has_been_the_most/

I read a lot about how Stranger Things is scary. I don’t really find Stranger Things very scary, it’s not like The Babadook or The Conjuring. For comparison’s sake it’s about as harmless as something like the level of Horror in the film Daybreakers. Daybreakers had some mild jump scares but it’s mostly a character piece. The real monsters are Charles Bromley and Bromley-Marks Pharmaceuticals.

The same can be said for Stranger Things. The demogorgon and the Upside Down are minor window dressings to a larger character narrative. Brenner, Owens and Hawkins Power & Light are more terrifying because they are preying on childhood fears and distrust and the fear of the unknown in the adults.

TV Ect.

Well, so far the Fall 2018-2019 network tv season is looking even worse than last season. It's hard to top seriously gimmicky shit like Alex, Inc., 9JKL and Me, Myself & I. It reminds me of the horrible failures of the TGIF line up before it finally died.

No wonder most of what I watch is on Netflix, FX, Viceland and IFC.

A searching love Is a precious thing Easy to spoil And so hard to give in to The blame is shared When we meet half way Desire is real It's a path to be taken Even sleep can turn cruel When your heart's confused Whether we spend our lives together Or we never see each other again I'll always celebrate The times that we both knew Baby your love is here Is mine with you?

I am, Samuel Mello Medeiros, Brazilian-born Portuguese of choice and Italian of passion! I've just launched a product on Kickstarter.com site, which like all ingenious things it is simple, cheap and brings to life the old analog cameras. I'm Back - It is a digital back for 35mm film cameras, which by design that I patented can be used in most 35mm cameras, both the Reflex as those rangefinder. Motherboard uses a raspberry pi zero (or others) and an 8-megapixel camera module.

Me: I wonder if I could convert this vintage camera in the garage into a digital one? I’m sure it involves a Raspberry Pi and some complicated modding...

The internet: I’ve got you.
