Stand By Me
So finally I got to share one of the best movies of all time and space with my boys. I was afraid that watching it again for probably the 543rd time would make me like it a little less or that watching it through the boys eyes would change it. It didn’t, it’s still an awesome movie. Yes I know all the words at one point in my life my niece and I could go almost half the movie without missing a line and that was even when we weren’t watching it. I did refrain from saying them along with just to keep Yacko from getting annoyed and leaving. I was surprised to see that Wacko liked it better than Yacko. But than if it’s not a sports movie it doesn’t rate on Yacko’s scale. I did cringe at all the swearing, constantly reminding the boys they couldn’t repeat what they heard, yet at the same time I know firsthand this is how 12 year old boys talk when adults aren’t around. Heck this is how 12 year old girls talk when parents aren’t around. The most enjoyable part of rewatching Stand By Me is the memories this movie brings. That trip to find the body was one that I will never forget. And being chased by the train, I swear I lost ten years of my life….. No not those kind of memories. The ones from having seen it. I wont admit to my age when I first saw it in the theater but I do clearly remember the day. It was a Sunday. I went to it with a friend after my niece’s birthday party. Mostly I have fond memories of watching it and quoting it in strange places or at secret times. So if you haven’t seen it or you just want to watch it again let me know. I’m up for number 544. Oh yeah, Corrina - Screw you, I got it!!!!!
