I just set up my new home theater (it rocks, thanks for asking), and I christened it with a screening of Stand by Me. This is a movie that made me cry 22 years ago, and guess what? It still does, and I must say that my monster new subwoofer makes that train-on-the-bridge scene totally awesome. It’s compelling to look at the cast and ponder where life has led them all. River Phoenix is dead, of course, and that makes his final fadeout in the movie’s closing moments all the more wrenching. Jerry O’Connell grew up to be fun, successful, buff, and engaged to a gorgeous woman after years of wild Hollywood bachelorhood. Wil Wheaton grew up to be one of the consistently coolest guys in blogland. As for Corey Feldman? I guess he didn’t actually grow up yet. Oh, Corey, Corey, Corey.
