Twitter in Focus: David Harbour

by tonyd on August 17, 2016 at 12:33 am

Hey Bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die!  Today’s contestant is the Police Chief on Stranger Things, David Harbour.  Let’s see what he’s tweeting.

@DavidKHarbour

August 14th:  “Impressive feat.”  (RE:  I’m watching for the 6th f’ing time. I can’t stop. I’ve seen it more times than has punched someone.)

Ah, the early 80’s.  When punching someone and breaking into a place didn’t get you shot.

August 15th:  “Mrs. Bourque, I hope your husband keeps his promises. please don’t embarrass Chris in front of his lady.”

Of course!  More chief in Season 2.  Who else is going to punch bad guys?

August 16th:  “That’s it! Hopper’s running as an independent!”

Yeah, but he’s an 80’s independent so his theme song is going to be something from The Smiths or The Cure.

12 hours ago:  “Ugh, rough night last night. Couldn’t get my daughter Nige to bed til 1am cause she wouldn’t stop talking about ST”

That’s pretty cool.

3 hours ago:  “Height and weight a bit off, but flattered I remind you of a Mohawk tiger bunny dog Pokemon. Now go catch will”

For some reason, no one can catch Will.

1 hour ago:  “Guys, it’s ground demogorgon. It’s not real steak. Stuff’s dirt cheap after the whole Hawkins lab thing…”

Gamey and also evil.  The best kind of burger.

24 minutes ago:  “Physicist Brian Greene is deconstructing our series. Holy upside down. I’ve tried to read his book like 12 times.”

Neat!

22 minutes ago:  “Oh schnapp! The talented, the handsome, the well spoken young ladies and gents.”

I’m wondering if he gets more time in Season 2.

Okay, let’s rate David’s tweets.  Pretty genuine stuff.  I would like to see it during shooting next season.  Bet there will be all sorts of behind-the-scenes stuff.  I give him a 9 for Mustness, a 7 for Insanity and a 10 for Style.  That’s an overall score of 8.6, which I’ll round up to 9.  Follow Hopper.

And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email me here.

Where to Pokémon Go? Village of Glen Oaks, NJ

Area:  Veterans Memorial Park Walking Trail

Town:  Village of Glen Oaks, NJ

Drivability:  No

Gyms:  One

Stops:  10-12

Setting:  Park

Spacing:  Loop

Activity Times: Mornings, Nights, Weekends

Welcome to the new review column, Where to Pokémon go?  As long as I’m playing this game, I might as well review some of the hot spots for catching Pokemon.

Located across from the Shop Rite and a plaza of stores and next to a police station and municipal building is the Veterans Memorial Park Walking Trail.  The great thing about this trail is that it’s on a loop, so you can just keep walking it as the stops constantly reset.  The park used to close, but I went there on a weeknight and it was still open at 9:30pm.

It’s more of a fitness park, so the trail is meant for joggers.  There are memorials on the park benches (where the stops are located).  And there are stations to do extra exercises as well as basketball courts.  Parking is behind, on a street.  Across the street is residential, so be aware if you get some looks from the locals.

The gym is located at the end of the park nearest the police station.  The area sometimes hosts carnivals and other events in the summer, so be aware if you’re dropping in from out of town.  There’s no water near by, so most of the Pokémon were land based.  There are no conveniently located vending machines or anywhere to get a drink, so bring something to hydrate.  This summer is brutal!  Stop in the Shop Rite across the street, something always spawns in the parking lot.

Two to four lures were active when I was there at night.  I’ve heard from other locals it’s pretty busy in the mornings and on weekends, but be aware there were a lot of locals going there just to exercise.

I give Veterans Memorial Park Walking Trail 7.5 out of 10 keggers.

Binge Watch: Stranger Things

by tonyd on August 13, 2016 at 12:38 am

Remember the 80’s? Well, now you don’t have to. Stranger Things, on Netflix, is eight episodes of every 80’s movie you can possibly imagine. It’s 1983 and there is a secret government experiment going on near a small, little mid-western town.

When one of four friends (Dungeons & Dragons players) mysteriously disappears and a strange girl with powers appears, a big mystery starts to unravel. The show features such 80’s icons as Winona Ryder and Matthew Modine. Ryder, in particular, shines at the determined mom. But the true stand outs are the kids.

I’ve already contacted attorneys for the Duffer Brothers stealing my early teens. It’s just that good. The look, the music, the feel, the monsters— It’s the show everyone’s talking about it. Don’t miss the first season.

Stranger Things is on Netflix and I give it 10 keggers.
