Stranger Things is gonna be great!

This show sounds cool. It will take very little effort for it to be better than Super 8.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Those first three have such heart.
Super 8 does not.
Can't speak to AG.

Obviously, I disagree.

I'm not sure what you'd think of American Gothic. It's nothing much like the other things I listed. The X-Files is the closest. But it's bizarre.

I've been exposed to very little Gaiman, but haven't liked what I've seen. I think he's really talented, it's just not for me. My disappointment in Super 8 is documented elsewhere on RM.

NO! I always wanted to watch it, though. I've heard so many great things about it.

I don't remember too many specifics about it at this point but I remember that I used to like it a lot.
