[froodle]

Feedback Friday!

[froodle]

It's Friday, Eerie fans, and it's a great time to look back on all the sweet fanworks you've created over the years. Why not revisit some sweet artwork, admire someone's crafting efforts or leave an appreciative comment on an uploaded video?

FULL MOON CHALLENGE

[froodle]

It's a full moon tonight, and that means it's time for our monthly Full Moon challenge. As usual, you can incorporate this challenge however you see fit - tell us tales of madness, shifting tides, werewolves, lunar goddesses, whether the moon landing was real or fake or simply a mass hallucination.

NATIONAL GARLIC DAY

[froodle]

It's National Garlic Day - we know Mars is probably helping keep a lot of Eerie's garlic farmers in business, but what about the rest of the town? Explore it in fanfic, in artwork, or just let us know your headcanons for how Eerie marks the occasion.

What, no "Eerie, Indiana'?

— Mega (@Megamaniaco) April 19, 2019

I actually came here to say "Eerie, Indiana" also teens experimenting with weird stuff was the entire Plot of "Strange Days at Blake Holsey High". Alex Mack was a book&tv show. Weird stuff happening, Teens & Military Did It is not a unique enough plot to claim anything.

“Kessler alleges Stranger Things is based on a feature film script titled The Montauk Project — set in the New York town in which he says is home to "various urban legends, and paranormal and conspiracy theories."”

Dean Friedman at Oran Mor, Glasgow

[froodle]

Hailed by critics and fans alike as a one of the finest songwriters of his generation, Dean Friedman has achieved legendary, pop-icon status for chart-topping hits, Ariel, Lucky Stars, Lydia, McDonald’s Girl and more.

Following last year’s sold-out, 40th Anniversary Tour, Friedman returns to the stage armed with a stunning collection of his insightful and compelling, true-to-life ‘story songs’ – songs of pathos and humor that deal with family, friends, neighbors, work and the seemingly trivial, yet ultimately essential stuff of everyday life.

In addition to his familiar radio hits, album releases and touring, Friedman composes and produces music soundtracks for TV and film, including the music to the hit Central TV series BOON, NBC’s Eerie Indiana, Nickelodeon’s Nick Arcade and the indie horror classic, ‘I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle’. He’s also published a respected tome on the art and craft of songwriting titled, ‘The Songwriter’s Handbook’, based on songwriting workshops and songwriting masterclasses he’s conducted at universities and music conservatories around the world, including L.I.P.A. (the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts).

A consummate entertainer, Friedman will be performing solo, on guitar and keyboard, featuring songs from throughout his four-decade career, including familiar, radio hits and fan favorites, drawn from his eight studio albums. Invite family and friends and join Friedman for an evening of powerful, poignant and hilarious songs about the ordinary and extraordinary lives we share.

Date: 3rd August 2019 7:30 pm

Perez Hilton on the Stranger Things lawsuit

[froodle]

OK, this is definitely a twist we didn’t see coming…

Remember last year when we told you the Duffer Brothers were getting sued by a filmmaker who claimed they ripped off his idea to make Stranger Things?

Well, that case is moving forward despite the Duffers’ best efforts, and that could be bad not just for them but for everyone who loves the show.

Here’s the basis for the guy’s case:

Charlie Kessler wrote a film called Montauk about military experiments in Montauk, New York.
He claims he met Matt and Ross Duffer at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2014 and pitched the idea of a TV series version to them
Later the Duffers used his ideas to create their show, which they sold to Netflix
The Duffers did use the name Montauk for their initial pitch of Stranger Things and intended it to be set in the town of Montauk, NY instead of Hawkins, Indiana
The Duffers using the name Montauk would be a smoking gun… except it’s a real place.

Kessler didn’t invent a town full of “various urban legends, and paranormal and conspiracy theories” — Montauk, NY really exists and has been inspiring science fiction stories with its lore since the ’80s. The Duffers claim they tried to write a film about the town as early as 2010.

Frankly, the ideas Kessler says he put forward to the Duffers in their 2014 meeting sound too generically sci-fi to us; they make it sound as similar to X-Files, Eerie Indiana, Eureka, and Haven as to the final product of Stranger Things. We mean, no upside-down, no nostalgia, no Stephen King or John Carpenter or Steven Spielberg homages with telekinetic girls and kids on bikes.
