  • FANS START THEIR OWN #BirdBoxChallenge.

    FANS START THEIR OWN #BirdBoxChallenge.

    Fans inspired by “Bird Box,” Sandra Bullock’s Netflix horror hit, have started attempting something called the #BirdBoxChallenge.

    The task requires participants to attempt to do things blindfolded like Bullock’s character in the film.
    There is a slight difference: In “Bird Box,” characters wear the blindfolds as protection against an unseen force that seemingly takes over people’s vision by manifesting their greatest fears.

    In the #BirdBoxChallenge, people wear the blindfolds in hopes of going viral.

    The hopes of going viral are the hopes of BIRD BOX makers and NETFLIX, who are seeking newfound ways to keep the social media virility alive for the movie.. 
    45 million people watched, we are told…
    ….Got to keep up those numbers at NETFLIX..

    Midsummer nights dream! STRANGER THINGS confirmed for July 4

    Don’t want to tell you I told you so .. but I told you so! * Or maybe just friends privately. Can’t prove I told anyone so * … Summer time stranger things on the way. Freedom on the Fourth of July!

    Netflix has released the first key art and a video for the third season of “Stranger Things,” with the latter announcing the new season’s launch on July 4th 2019.

     The streaming giant made the announcement via a clip designed to look like a local Hawkins, Indiana television affiliate.

    The new season’s tagline is: “One summer can change everything.” And with the news comes beautiful and mesmerizing nostalgic image to coincide with the July 4 theme.. The teaser is appropriately New Year’s-themed, featuring archival footage of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve from 1984: As the ball drops in Times Square and 1985 dawns, things take a turn toward the Upside-Down just as the clock is about to strike midnight..

     The program has been brought to you by the STARCOURT MALL..

     The screen also serves up the following “scene,” which appears to show someone accessing an entity called “Lynx Corp.” and running the program “SilverCatFeeds.exe”..

     

     And now the wait to summer begins.. Born on the Fourth of July in 1985!
