Stand By Me

Today I re-watched the film "Stand By Me" and I happened to watch it on the very day that it takes place. I wasn't meaning to do that, it was just a funny coincidence. Technically, it takes place over two days.

It's still a great movie.

I watched it when I was almost as young as the kids in the movie and now I've watched it when I'm about the age of the adult in the movie. I remember being a kid and thinking how sad and unthinkable the ending is. Now that I'm an adult, it's even sadder because it's not unthinkable.

Magic with The Roots

The Roots are always good for a tremendous reaction shot. I'd like to see an entire act with them. The venue would need really great fire exits.



Here's a previous appearance which elicits a similar reaction.
