Stranger Things at the Mall

the local paper had a jokester say that PLDT (the common internet provider) would overload on July 4 when everyone in the Philippines started streaming Stranger Things.

Well, it didn't shut down and we watched part one and two last night... which is mainly about the kids becoming teenagers, and the mall, and El growing up and learning to shop (with a note about how the mall is destroying the shops in the city center).... Except for the rats, not much about monsters yet...

the main problem is if you didn't watch season one and two, you might not realize El has magic powers or the other teenage angst subplots with the main characters.



We will binge two more episodes tonite since we do have a family netflix subscription and using Ruby's computer can watch it on my large screen TV.

Stranger Things is big here: and they are even holding a "Fun Fest" showing it at the mall in Manila:



PLDT and Smart will be showing it in a Manila mall for those who don't have Netflix subscriptions (or don't want to wait for the film pirates to put it on a DVD to sell in the palenkes).

Open and free for everyone, the Stranger Things Fun Fair at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium will transport you to Hawkins, Indiana during the summer of 1985, with themed booths that let you complete an adrenaline-pumping mission to defeat the Demogorgon into the Upside Down for a chance to win awesome prizes!
Smart Elite – Laura Lehman, Curtismith, Ava Daza, Paolo Valenciano, Katarina Rodriguez, Alyssa Gibbs, and Gabs Gibbs. will dive headfirst into the fun by visiting the ‘80s carnival on its first day! Bring your family and friends to the four-day fair, and race against time to look for all of Dustin’s belongings at Dustin’s Toy Museum; dress up in the best ‘80s looks in the Glamorama booth; answer riddles at the Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Shop; and shoot down villains at the Slingshot Revenge Shooting Gallery.
