In 6 minutes, Stand By Me starts on AMC.

Suck my fat one, you cheap dime-store hood.

"How do you know a Frenchman has been in your backyard?"

"Hey, I'm French, OK?"

"Your garbage can's empty and your dog is pregnant."

"Didn't I just say I was French?"

It's strange watching this to think that Vern goes on to become super-cool Tripp McNeely, while his Billy Tessio goes on to shoot Lt. Tony Rodriguez on NYPD Blue.

Lard ass! Lard ass! Lard ass! Lard ass!

In 1986, or whenever this movie came out, I wonder what the odds would have been that the fat kid would become the biggest star of the four leads.

From chubby nerd to drunken, chick-banging frat boy Tripp McNeely...

Marrying Rebecca Romijn is even more impressive.

Trodding in Uncle Jesse's old stomping grounds... always a dangerous prospect.

I was watching it a few years ago when somebody told me Vern eventually turned into Cushman on Jerry Maguire. THAT is a transformation.

Yeah, Uncle Jesse and Chachi Arcola are both in the hall of fame in that category.

I think calling him the "biggest" star is damning with faint praise. And the only reason it's true is because River Phoenix is dead.

Jerry O'Connell is a major tool and a 'B' list actor at best.

It is impressive that he got with Rebecca, though. I have to give you that.

Yeah, he's B-list. Feldman is D-list, although he's actually done very well for himself doing voices for cartoons. I couldn't tell you the last thing Wil Wheaton was in and obviously Phoenix is long gone, which is unfortunate, because I think he would have become one of this generation's best actors.

Agreed.
