hii!
give me some shows to watch please i've rewatched stranger things 3 times this summer, i need a new show T-T
i'm into shows like stranger things
-thriller
-horror
-but with humor and humorous main characters :))
do any come into mind T-T
Hi! Okay so first of all I know many many more books than shows or movies so if you're ever looking for book recs as well, I'm your person! 😂 that being said, here goes:
The Haunting Of Hill House (only horror, nothing funny but definitely recommend it)
Good Omens (only funny but VERY funny)
Pretty Little Liars (I know, sounds main stream but there's a good balance of creepy and humor!)
Desperate Housewifes (same as Pretty Little Liars regarding the balance of funny and thrilling)
Dead To Me (dark humour, not a thriller or horror but I'd say definitely the right direction)
None of these are like Stranger Things tbh but I'm going all Amazon Algorithm here telling you "you might be interested in these" 😂
Feel free to add to this! 🖤
And because I can't shut up about books, here are some books I'd definitely recommend reading if you love Stranger Things: The Sun Down Motel (Simone St James), The Night Shift (Alex Finlay), Small Favors (Erin A Craig; THIS ONE IS SUPER CREEPY I LOVED IT), When We Were Worthy & The Things We Wish Were True & This Secret Thing (Marybeth Mayhew Whalen), The Cheerleaders (Kara Thomas), Home Before Dark (Riley Sager), the A Good Girl's Guide To Murder trilogy (Holly Jackson), The Burning Girls (CJ Tudor), The Lie Tree (Frances Hardinge), Dark And Shallow Lies (Ginny Myers Sain), Don't Tell A Soul (Kiersten Miller)

Picking a New Profession for Every Boring NBA Commentator
JESSE DORSEY
JUNE 12, 2012
The NBA, and basketball in general for that matter, is an incredibly fast-paced, yet methodical game that it's hard to really find a commentator that's worth much in terms of not over-doing it and not being so boring that it's hard to concentrate on anything but the squeaks of the shoes on the court.
The latter, unfortunately for the following people, is definitely worse than the former. At least with an over-excited commentator there are laughs to be had.
A boring commentator is just that, a guy (or girl) droning on-and-on about this and that with no regard to whether anybody cares about what he's saying.
That's why I've decided to take a look at the worst, most boring commentators and analysts around the NBA and reassign their lives.
We need to make sure that everyone is doing the job that's right for them, so it's time to give everyone who is in the wrong job their correct job.
Magic Johnson: Outlandish Baseball Owner
In case you've not heard due to having lived in a barn over the past few months, Magic Johnson has recently purchased, as a part of a group, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What Magic Johnson needs to do before the people completely turn on his utterly dull, uninspired and completely useless role with the ESPN crew that bores the bejeezus out of us all season long is turn into the next Bill Veeck.
For those of you who don't know who Bill Veeck is, he's one of the most iconic figures in baseball history, pulling some of the best stunts imaginable to improve the way the fans watch the game.
Among other things, Veeck hired 3'7" Eddie Gaedel to play for his St. Louis Browns. The little man was only allowed one at-bat before the MLB outlawed his use, the man having a strike zone so small that it seemed impossible to pitch to him.
Veeck went on to put together all kinds of promotions, giving away free balls, free pickles, free hot dogs, free lobsters, free ice cream, free pigs, chickens, eels and ducks.
Magic needs to turn himself into one of the most visible, entertaining baseball owners in all of the MLB.
Jon Barry: Basketball Camp with His Brothers
Jon Barry should be thankful that Magic Johnson sits next to him to be more boring than he is, but he's still an uninteresting, dull member of ESPN's NBA Countdown.
What Jon Barry needs to do is collect all of his basketball-playing family members, all of whom got a fraction of the talent that their father had, put them all in the same location and open up the Barry Brothers Basketball Camp.
Once the camp starts to take off, they can start putting together basketball training videos and cheesy commercials to go along with the videos, something that would benefit more people than forcing them to see Barry go on and on about nothing every time ESPN hosts a basketball game.
Shaquille O'Neal: Reality Show
Shaq is in the wrong situation for people to enjoy him on television. When Shaq is funny, it's spontaneous, unscripted and, above all, awkward. However, with him a part of Inside the NBA, he's got very few of those moments.
What we need is to get Shaq a reality show, either one where he just lives his day-to-day life as a giant doctor-policeman former basketball player, or one where they send him here and there to do this and that.
Giving Shaq a reality show not only gets the big mumbling, uninteresting man off our beloved Inside the NBA, it also puts him in a situation where he'll potentially thrive and have people reevaluate their opinions of him as a television personality.
Doris Burke: Craig Sager's Outfit Wrangler
Doris Burke is a maddeningly uninteresting commentator when she's on the microphone. In fact, the only time when she's remotely bearable is when she's the sideline reporter at games, which sucks because even the best sideline reporter is a useless part of a live sports broadcast.
So, in order to keep her somewhat involved in basketball, I'm making her the personal assistant to Craig Sager, who is a noticeably better (yet still useless) sideline reporter.
Her only job with Sager is going to be to keep notes on his outfits, make sure he doesn't wear the same color combinations too close to each other and, overall, make sure each outfit is more outlandish than the last.
Dave Pasch: Stick to His Day Job…Announcing Football
This photo is a worst nightmare of sorts. What we've got here is Dave Pasch, a boring, sometimes used play-by-play man for the NBA on ESPN working alongside Jon Barry, a color commentator with nothing to add and no insight to give.
Dave Pasch has been an interesting decision at times for the NBA game. What makes him a good football announcer, the somber tone, the drawn-out pauses to let the game take over rather than his words, is also what makes him a terrible basketball announcer. There's a certain rhythm that comes with commentating basketball that he just doesn't have.
So, all Pasch really needs to do is stick to his job commentating for the Arizona Cardinals and then doing college and Arena Football, the NFL and the Little League World Series, places where his pace is more fitting.
Matt Devlin: Branch Manager of a Paper Company
I hate to discredit Matt Devlin, because he seems like one of the nicest guys a person could ever encounter, but Devlin is awful as an NBA commentator.
If you're not the over-excited, constantly wound-up type then it's best to be somber and let the game flow through your lips and to the viewer. Don't try to do too much, but don't try to leave too much silence.
Devlin's problem is that he is too slow and methodical for the majority of the game, but then he tries to work himself up for the excitement in the final minutes of a game, leading to situations like this, when he had no idea that the game was over.
Aside from that, Devlin seems to have awkward in infinite supply. Devlin's well-meaning awkwardness always seem to throw off a Michael Scott vibe, making me think that he'd be a perfect manager for a company in paper sales.

More Than a Sport; A Family
Welcome back to my fifth and final blog post. With all my posts relating to the wonderful sport of basketball so far, I feel that it is only right that I finish it off with one more post about the sport. I want to talk about how to the NBA is a family, and once you are a part of that family, it will always be within you. Obviously, the players are the greatest part of the sport, however there is so much more to the fan that is watching the game at home. There are the magnificent commentators throughout the game, the hilarious pre and post-game shows, and even the referees are a part of the family of the NBA. The NBA has always been phenomenal in treating members of their family who have illnesses with the upmost respect.
Craig Sager, who was an interviewer and broadcaster in the NBA for decades was diagnosed with leukemia towards the end of his life. In his final years, the NBA allowed him to interview players courtside during the NBA finals, a chance that he has never gotten in his career with the game. He was filled with so much passion and love during those interviews and even the players expressed their gratitude for what he has done for the sport over his time. He was so passionate in how he conducted himself over his career in the NBA that the NBA itself implemented a reward to go out at the end of each season named, “The Sager Strong Award.” This reward is presented to an individual who has been a trailblazer while exemplifying courage, faith, compassion, and grace. His memory will live on forever in the sport of the game.
Referees are also a part of the family that the NBA will go to extreme lengths to make sure they are taken care of. Sadly, the sport had a referee pass away recently due to cancer, and the NBA made an emotional announcement about the purity and love of this man’s character and that his family will be taken care of and looked after. This is something that I feel that the NBA does better than any other sport really. If you are a member of their family at one point, you can consider yourself always a member of the family. That have set up different insurances and programs to help their retired players stay healthy while maintaining their incomes. They will do the same with referees that have retired as well. They want to make sure that the people who have made this sport as big as it is today is being taken care of for as long as they wish. The NBA even gives a few free tickets to each player that is currently on the roster. They do this to ensure that they can get their parents or their close friends in for free and not have to worry about the expenses of a ticket. I love the fact that the league is always taking care of everyone that is involved in the sport. They will let the players’ parents and children go back into the locker room with them with no problems at all, and they can stay late with the team or show up early to the facility if they wish. There are so many stories over the decades about how the league has completely gone above and beyond in taking care of their players and staff and just consistently dedicated to making everyone feel that they are a part of the family. The NBA is the perfect example of how sports bring people together.

Mr. Harrigan's Phone
4 ud af 5 aldrende læseheste
Gymnasieeleven Craig (Jaeden Martell) tjener lommepenge ved at læse klassiske romaner som "To byer", "Lady Chatterleys elsker" og "Forbrydelse og straf" højt for en svagtsynet milliardær (Donald Sutherland). Der opstår et stærkt venskab mellem de to, og den unge mand introducerer det 21. århundredes velsignelser for den aldrende aktiespekulant med en iPhone, der giver ham direkte adgang til børsnoteringerne. Da mr. Harrigan dør af et hjertestop, giver Craig ham iPhonen med i kisten, og han sender en besked til ham som en sidste hilsen. Stor er hans overraskelse, da sms'en uventet besvares, og der begynder at ske mystiske ting og sager ... Mere skal ikke røbes her. Det er Stephen Kings kortroman af samme navn, der er dramatiseret og iscenesat af John Lee Hancock, kendt som instruktør af bl. a. "The Blind Side", "The Founder" og "Saving Mr. Banks", og det er en af de bedre King-filmatiseringer, der efter min mening helt eminent fanger forfatterens stemningsfulde stil og skildringer. Der er overnaturlige elementer, ja, men de er under stram kontrol, og hovedvægten er lagt på forholdet mellem de godt castede personer, samtidig med at Kings (for en gangs skyld) velkonstruerede plot stille og roligt afvikles med god suspense. Anbefales varmt og kan ses på Netflix.
