We know the four young boys who starred in Stand By Me are Jerry O’Connell, Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, and the late River Phoenix. The surviving three have been touring the United States to celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary.
On a recent stop, they met up with someone who was a major part of the movie, but we don’t know his name or much about him today.
Who was it? Ray Brower (Kent Luttrell), aka The Body, whom they did the long journey to find.
I never thought about him until now. It is to see what he looks like standing up.
I hope that trio have a reunion with the hugest actor in the movie. Who? Andy Lindberg, who played Lard Ass. That Blueberry Barf scene is forever etched into my memory: that and the leech scene.
In 1986, we watched four boys embark on a journey to find a dead body in Stand By Me, but what they found was a friendship that would last forever.
Not only did Gordon, Teddy, and Vern find that, but so did the actors who played them.
In honor of Stand By Me turning 40 on August 22nd, Jerry O’Connell, Wil Wheaton, and Corey Feldman are embarking on another journey. The three men are touring the country and watching the coming-of-age film with their fans.
Yesterday was their first stop in Concord, New Hampshire. Tonight they are in Red Bank, New Jersey. Tomorrow they will be in Lynn, Massachusetts.
Back to the tour, they are traveling by bus to the different locations, and O’Connell shared a video of them together. It was great to see them together again. I have seen Jerry with Wil or Corey, but not with the other two surviving members.
On that note, I picture this is what it would be like if they reunited to attend a memorial for Chris, who we found out was killed at the end of the movie. RIP River Phoenix.
Before Corey Feldman spent Christmas with Gremlins, he spent it giving Santa Claus a McDonald’s gift certificate. How awwwwdorable was the 3-year-old in that 1974 commercial?
Corey Feldman thinks it is still 1985, and he is a big star. But that was 40 years ago. Now, he is a laughable has-been.
You know that. I know that. He doesn’t know that. Therefore, he joined Dancing with the Stars, and I am assuming that he thought he just had to show up for show nights.
I am assuming that because the actor hasn’t shown up for rehearsals, according to his poor partner, Jenna Johnson since ABC announced who was competing on Wednesday. Anyone who knows anything about the dancing competition knows that you cannot do that.
Well, I guess word got back to him, so he finally showed up to work yesterday.
Will a week of rehearsals be enough to help him not be the first one eliminated? Most likely not. And that is probably a good thing for last year’s winner.
Corey Feldman might have starred in Stand By Me, but he has not been standing by his Dancing with the Stars pro Jenna Johnson.
On Wednesday, Good Morning America announced who would be dancing this season, and that was the last time that Johnson saw her partner.
According to Us Weekly, she told fans in an Instagram story on Saturday, “To be completely honest, I actually haven’t seen him since Good Morning America.” Then she explained that he “had some previous work engagements and personal stuff going on.”
What work engagements could he have going on? When was the last time he did any acting? And how much rehearsing does he have to do with his band? So I am not sure I believe that excuse?
I mean, as soon as I heard he was announced, I knew he was not going to spend a lot of time rehearsing. And it looks like I was right.
He better make some time to get in some practice this week because the dancing competition is back on Monday. And it looks like he is not there again today because last year’s winner shared a video after going to the gym today, and he was nowhere to be seen.
He might think he can dance as well as Michael Jackson, but his moves are as dead as the late singer.
