always the first star that I find; you're my satellite

I finished watching Hannibal Season 3 with commentary. Now I just have to hope that we get a season 4 someday. I mean, Community got their #sixseasons, is four too much to ask??

In the commentary, Bryan Fuller talks about how Siouxsie Sioux wrote Love Crime specifically for the finale. So I had music on the brain when I went to bed...

...little did I know this would lead me to dreaming about HANNIBAL: THE MUSICAL! Starring me as Will Graham. And...

...wait for it...

I sang Anything For You to Hannibal at the end.

Yes, thank you. I am insane.

In other, non-Fannibal news, we started watching Stranger Things on Netflix. We're only two episodes in but I am enjoying it. It's like someone put all your favorite 80's movies into a blender. And I'm kinda fine with that - I think I prefer it to the reboot. There are SO MANY homages. So far I've seen 'Jaws', 'E.T.' (SO MANY E.T.), 'Poltergeist' -- plus the classic trope of the "broken home", the mother trying to get by without the father.

We also discovered Better Off Ted and we've almost binge watched the whole thing. We actually started watching Stranger Things to slow us down because we realized we have less than 10 episodes left of Ted. Another brilliant show totally advertised WRONG. So sad I missed it the first time around.

I finished my audiobook so I got to listen to music on my way to work today. My iPod was behaving very well, shuffling lots of good sing-along songs for me. Here's a sample for you - happy listening!

Guster - Satellite

MIKA - Emily

Travis - Writing to Reach You

Whitlams - Fondness Makes the Heart Grow Absent

I keep hearing that Stranger Things is like "THE 80s!" but what it is actually about, lol?

It's a horror show, though I'm a complete chickenface and it didn't give me nightmares or anything.

It's hard to explain without spoiling, but there's a whole lot of supernatural stuff going on, and children/people go missing... It's really worth watching.

Like thistle_chaser said, it is hard to explain without giving away the surprises. But it has a spooky vibe, similar to the movies it is paying homage to.

I LOVE BETTER OFF TED

We're four episodes into "Stranger Things" and really enjoying it, too. It's very 80s and just a really engrossing story. The young cast are great!

I remember loving Better Off Ted when it first aired, but that's all I remember. Heh.

You know, I still haven't watched the third season of Hannibal. I think my brain keeps going NO NO NO to watching it, since once I'm done with the season, it'll be over and there will be no new episodes left...

Ha! HANNIBAL: THE MUSICAL would ROCK! Your brain has spiffy ideas. :D

I'm glad you're liking Stranger Things! Agreed about it being a mishmash of 80s movies, but I was 100% fine with that, too.

I love Better Off Ted!

Stranger Things sounds so intriguing.

I really need to get on this Stranger Things bandwagon. I have heard nothing but good things about it!

Stranger Things is all good things 80s and Stephen King and just...it is all the best things!! There will be Silent Hill later. You will see what I mean in a few episodes!

I've not listened to any of the commentary for Hannibal... I should do that eventually.

YES to Stranger Things! I loved it so much! Surprise hit of the Summer for me!

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

YES listen to the commentary, it is fantastic! I learned SO MUCH!

Just finished Stranger Things, WOW, SO GOOD! I can't decide if I want a second season or not...I will miss those characters but I don't want them to screw it up!

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

I'm with you on season two of Stranger Things. We're getting one so I'm just hoping they do something equally amazing. Fingers crossed!
