    Wil Wheaton was in Toy Soldiers, a movie about a boys school being taken over by terrorists. Also stars Sean Astin. It’s not too bad.
    The older brother gangster getting a tattoo carved into his arm is Casey Siemaszko and he was in Young Guns and recently a character in Red Dead Redemption 2.
    The blond guy in the older gang is in Summer School and Planes Trains & Automobiles.

I ran over with a bunch of water and gatorade and put it out. Spoke to security. Went to work. Got a call from Viper Room management that night thanking me and giving me free entry for life.

    Stand by Me (The Body) and Shawshank Redemption were both part of the same collection of short stories, and they're loosely tied together. The Ace character (Kiefer Sutherland) does four years in Shawshank in one of the other stories.

    Great reaction video. I would have picked a few other important/funny/emotional moments to show, but I guess that's a matter of taste. I feel like you left out some of the major lines/jokes. For example the newspaper in the beginning reading "Attorney Christopher Chambers fatally stabbed" and the goodbye moment between Chris and Gordie near the end where Gordie (as the narrator) tells how Chris became a lawyer and died trying to break up a fight (which we also see him doing a few times during the movie). The moment in the junkjard when Gordie tells Teddie, Vern and Chris to shut up and they respond with: "I don't shut up, I grow up and when I look at you I throw up." And then Gordie finishing it off by saying: "And then your mother comes around the corner and she licks it up." And of course the final line of the story Gordie wrote: "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"
    I would like to know how those moments made you feel.
