"Stranger Things 3" Behind-The-Scenes Facts That'll Blow Your Mind

It looks like BuzzFeed wet to a Comic-Con panel and put the answers on a nice little facts page.  I like the last little fact, that 40 million people watched Stranger Things 3 in 4 days. I was one of those.  How many people would sit and watch a basically an 8-hour movie in one day?  Well, it's nice to be able to pause and take breaks while watching, 'cause it was worth every minute of it.

Stranger Things Season 3 Easter Egg

Want to call Murray Bauman?  Remember Joyce Byers giving Murray's phone number to the FBI?  (618) 625-8313?  Give it a call and you get this;

Hi! You have reached the residence of Murray Bauman. Mom, if this is you, please hang up and call me between the hours of 5 and 6 PM as previously discussed. Okay?! If this is Joyce, Joyce, thank you for calling, I have been trying to reach ya. I have an update. It’s about, well, its probably best if we speak in person. It’s not good or bad, but it’s something. If this is anyone but my mother or Joyce, well…  you think you’re real clever, getting my number, don’t ya? Well, here’s some breaking news for you. You’re not clever. You’re not special. You are just simply one of the many, many nimwits to have called here, and the closest you will ever get to me is this prerecorded message. So, at the beep, do me a favor and hang up, and never call here again. You are a parasite. Thank you and good day!

One of the small things that make lie more fun. 

I can't wait for season 4! 

I also see books out now for Stranger things.  I don't know if these are new or not but I gotta at least try one.

Stranger Things 3

The Strange Things series has not disappointed me, that's for sure.  I just binge watched the complete Stranger Things 3 and it was great.  I can't say which season I liked the most but this 3rd season really is worth the 8 hours sitting in front of a TV.  No spoilers here but there are internet stories saying that there will most definitely be a 4th season.  I can't see it going past 4, especially the way season 3 ended, but they did leave it open for another.  Let's hope so.

Netflix really comes up with some great and original programming.  This 3rd season of Stranger Things should be full of awards.  Best show, best actor (Millie Bobby Brown), and best supporting actor (either Winona Ryder or David Harbour).

ElectronPlayer on Linux / Ubuntu 18.10

I got a wild hair to check the Ubuntu Software Installer to see if there was a Netflix play that I could install and watch Netflix without using chrome and I found a program called ElectronPlayer.  It list Netflix, YouTube, Twitch, and Floatplane.  All I can tell you is that so far it is a full function Netflix player that played the Highwaymen perfectly, with subtitles.  No Hulu support, which for me would have made it better but It's nice to have the player. YouTube needs no introduction, Twitch probably doesn't need an introduction if you watch gaming videos, and Floatplane is pay for view.  Floatplane had three categories and one of them was Linux videos from what I could tell and I don't want to pay for those.

As for The Highwaymen, it is a good movie on Netflix starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson about a couple of dis-banded Texas Rangers hired as Highwaymen to find and Kill Bonnie and Clyde.  It's a good movie with lots of familiar faces.  It's well worth the watch.  

As far as ElectronPlayer goes, so far the program is worth the price (free).
