A REMADE OF "Stand by me"

STAND BY ME. Reboot 

The Legend of the '80s Reboot: Is Stand By Me Returning?

​STORYTELLER’S NOTE: The following information is based on circulating industry rumors and whispers. While the details are intriguing, none of this has been officially confirmed by the studios. Read with an open mind and a proper sense of wonder.

​There is a whisper traveling through the grapevine tonight, and if it’s true, we are looking at the return of a legend. Rumor has it that a reboot of the quintessential coming-of-age classic, Stand By Me, is finally in the works.

​But there’s a massive twist.

​Forget the 1950s and the search for a body along the train tracks of a bygone era. The word is that this new journey will be set in the 1980s. It’s a bold move—shifting the nostalgia from the world of Gordie Lachance to the neon-soaked, bike-riding era that the original film actually debuted in.

​The Feldman Factor

​Perhaps the most shocking part of the rumor is who is sitting in the director's chair. Corey Feldman—the original Teddy Duchamp—is rumored to be partly directing the project. Having someone who lived and breathed the original "lightning in a bottle" moment could be exactly what a project like this needs to keep its soul.

​The "Perfect" Gamble

​The production is reportedly hunting for a $20 million budget, with filming rumored to begin in 2027. However, the lead director and the green light are still up in the air.

​The word behind the scenes is that this movie will either be the greatest reboot of our generation or a total failure—there is no middle ground. Because of that, the backers are being incredibly cautious. They are holding out for the perfect script, the perfect writing, and a perfect cast of four boys who can capture that raw, believable chemistry we all remember.

​Final Thoughts

​Could a 1980s-set Stand By Me actually work? If they get the casting right and keep the heart of Stephen King’s story at the center, it could be a beautiful homage to friendship.

​What do you think? Would you be in favor of this reboot, or should the classics be left alone? Personally, I think if it’s done right... it could be something special.

​That’s all the research I could find for now. Stay tuned for more updates as the rumors develop!

I visited my friend at Her Grave.😢

There I am at her grave. I placed a sunflower and pink bear there🐻💓. I wonder if other people visit her grave? 

I wounder have everyone forgotten her death? I have not seen flowers. I know it was tuff on her family.  A car wreck  low speed she died the other car driven my 78 year old woman survived with out injury. 

She was my friend. My coworker.  After she left working there she would come by the mall when I was working

She gave me her phone number.    I called her once we talked about  work  because she quit that job. Three days before her death. I had a strange feeling  that something going to happen.  But I didn't call i wanted call.  Something said Call her just say hello 👋  increasingly for the 3 days before death

That feeling increased.I'm just call her and just say hello.  I did not I didn't want to bug her. She often came into work after she quit.  And stop by and say, how are you doing? And then we talk for like minutes. Then you go on her way. I figured next time should you just stop in and say hello.

I should have called her.We never spoke again.

TRYED OLD YAKIMA CHINESE FOOD PLACE

I had not been to the Golden Wheel restaurant in downtown Yakima in years—about 30 years. I had the Kung Pao beef with egg rolls. I was the only one there. I was going to take a picture of my food, but I was so hungry! 

It was a large plate of food, and my bill was really reasonable. I should have taken home the leftover vegetables, but I didn't because I knew I would not eat them. Not to say they weren't delicious, but I ate all the tasty meat and a lot of vegetables, but I am not going to heat up leftover vegetables. Does that make sense? 

So if you're ever in yakima, why not go to the go on wheel for lunch or dinner. The service was excellent and the waiter wes really on spot.

THE GOONIES

 

• Budget: The film's total budget was approximately $19 million. This figure encapsulates various production costs including:
  
  
  • Salaries for Cast and Crew:
    • While specific actor salaries aren't publicly detailed, it's known that child actors in the 80s typically didn't command high fees. However, the presence of established actors like Anne Ramsey and Joe Pantoliano, and the involvement of Steven Spielberg as an executive producer, would have contributed to this budget.
    • Director Richard Donner's salary would also be a significant portion of this.
  • Production Design and Sets:
    • A substantial part of the budget went into creating the elaborate sets, especially the pirate ship (The Inferno) and the numerous booby traps. J. Michael Riva, the production designer, worked on making these sets visually impressive, which included building a full-sized pirate ship model.
  • Special Effects:
    • The Goonies required practical effects like animatronics for characters like Sloth, and various mechanical effects for the traps and the ship's final scene. Industrial Light & Magic was involved for some special effects, contributing to the cost.
  • Location Shooting:
    • Much of the film was shot in Astoria, Oregon, which involved location fees, logistics, and accommodations for the crew. Some scenes were also shot in Burbank, California, on Warner Bros. soundstages.
  • Music and Soundtrack:
    • The film's score by Dave Grusin and the use of popular songs like Cyndi Lauper's "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" would have added to the costs, though this might be less significant compared to other aspects.
  • Marketing and Promotion:
    • While not part of the direct production costs, marketing, including the music video for the theme song, would have been funded by this budget or additional promotional budgets.
• Miscellaneous Costs:
• This includes everything from costumes, props, transportation, catering, insurance, and
• other operational expenses during the shoot.I 

I Love this movie!

Will  Goonies New Treasure  be made a reality?  With all the actors and directors that have past away year my year it becomes  more unlikely.    

Do i want it?  That's tuff call. They should have done sequel in the 80s   You ever wondered if the coast guard intercepted the Treasure ship of on eyed Willy? 

So guys Im Sorry.

So I haven't posted a personal message in a while. My situation wasn't like it is today. When I moved to a small town—so small, there were no traffic lights—two main streets ran through town.

I was in town for the first time ever. That year is when I started a friendship. I was not alone anymore. It was then I met my best friend, Allen. He introduced me to rated-R movies on VHS. *Stripes*, I remember that one. If you know, you know. All of the *Friday the 13th* movies.

We had our bikes and tunnels and sticks. We had adventures and occasional trouble with the law. Nothing big. Then I made friends with his friends. His mom kind of adopted me. I was over there more then my house. And of course we had Nintendo!!  

 We really enjoyed the outside video games were for when it was to cold outdone.

What is Gain of function mean?

Gain of Function (GoF) Research: Summary

Definition:

Gain-of-function (GoF) research refers to experiments where genetic modifications are made to an organism to enhance or introduce new functions, often to study the biological mechanisms of diseases, improve medical countermeasures, or understand pathogen evolution. In the context of virology, it often involves altering viruses to make them more transmissible or virulent, which has sparked significant debate due to biosafety and biosecurity concerns.

Purpose:

Understanding Pathogens: GoF research helps in understanding how viruses might evolve, mutate, or adapt in ways that could lead to pandemics.

Medical Advances: It's used to develop vaccines, antiviral drugs, and other medical countermeasures by studying enhanced versions of pathogens.

Risk Assessment: By modifying pathogens, researchers can assess the risk of natural or human-induced changes in pathogenicity.

Controversy and Regulation:

Safety Concerns: The primary concern is the potential for accidental release from laboratories leading to outbreaks or pandemics. There's also the risk of misuse for bioterrorism.

Moratorium and Pause: In 2014, due to biosafety incidents, the U.S. government instituted a moratorium on funding certain GoF research on influenza, MERS, and SARS viruses. This was lifted in 2017 with new oversight guidelines.

Oversight: Various bodies like the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) in the U.S. and international organizations provide oversight and recommendations for managing risks.

Key Points:

Ethical Debate: There's an ongoing debate regarding the balance between potential benefits (improved disease prevention and response) and risks (accidental release or intentional misuse).

Historical Context: The term "gain of function" gained notoriety after experiments in 2011 involving H5N1 avian influenza, leading to discussions on whether such research should be published or conducted at all.

International Variations: The approach to regulation and ethics of GoF research varies globally, with some countries having strict oversight while others have less defined policies.

Current Status:

Policy Development: There's continuous work on refining policies to ensure that GoF research is conducted safely, with benefits outweighing risks.

Public Perception: Recent events, like the COVID-19 pandemic, have heightened public and scientific scrutiny, particularly around research that could lead to enhanced potential pandemic pathogens (ePPPs).

Summary of Key Benefits and Risks:

Benefits: Potential for new vaccines, understanding pathogen evolution, and preparedness for future pandemics.

Risks: Biosafety breaches, biosecurity issues, ethical concerns about creating potentially dangerous pathogens.

Sources:

This summary draws from various discussions and analyses on the topic, including:

National Academies' workshops on the risks and benefits of GoF research.

Policy and ethical considerations from academic reviews.

Public discourse and regulatory responses to GoF research. 

The star-spangled banner.

 

The Star-Spangled Banner:

"The Star-Spangled Banner" was inspired by the events of the War of 1812, specifically the Battle of Baltimore, which included the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British forces on September 13-14, 1814. 

Author: Francis Scott Key, a lawyer and poet, wrote the lyrics. 

Inspiration: Key was aboard a British ship negotiating for the release of an American prisoner when he witnessed the attack on Fort McHenry. Throughout the night, he observed the bombardment but saw that the American flag was still flying in the morning, signaling the fort had not surrendered. This sight inspired him to write a poem he originally titled "Defence of Fort McHenry."

The Poem: Key wrote the poem on September 14, 1814, and it was published in newspapers on September 20, 1814. The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song, "To Anacreon in Heaven," which was composed by John Stafford Smith. 

Adoption as National Anthem: It wasn't until over a century later that "The Star-Spangled Banner" was officially recognized. On March 3, 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a congressional resolution that made it the national anthem of the United States.

Das "Star-Spangled Banner" wurde von den Ereignissen des Krieges von 1812 inspiriert, insbesondere von der Schlacht von Baltimore, die die Bombardierung von Fort McHenry durch britische Streitkräfte vom 13. bis 14. September 1814 beinhaltete.

Autor: Francis Scott Key, ein Anwalt und Dichter, schrieb den Text.

Inspiration: Key war an Bord eines britischen Schiffes, das über die Freilassung eines amerikanischen Gefangenen verhandelte, als er Zeuge des Angriffs auf Fort McHenry wurde. Während der ganzen Nacht beobachtete er das Bombardement, sah aber, dass die amerikanische Flagge noch am Morgen wehte, was signalisierte, dass das Fort nicht kapituliert hatte. Dieser Anblick inspirierte ihn zu einem Gedicht, das er ursprünglich "Defence of Fort McHenry" nannte.

The Poem: Key schrieb das Gedicht am 14. September 1814 und wurde am 20. September 1814 in Zeitungen veröffentlicht. Das Gedicht wurde mit dem britischen Lied "To Anacreon in Heaven" vertont, das von John Stafford Smith komponiert wurde.

Adoption als Nationalhymne: Erst über ein Jahrhundert später wurde "The Star-Spangled Banner" offiziell anerkannt. Am 3. März 1931 unterzeichnete Präsident Herbert Hoover eine Resolution des Kongresses, die sie zur Nationalhymne der Vereinigten Staaten machte.

Stjärnspangled banner:

"The Star-Spangled Banner" inspirerades av händelserna i 1812 års krig, särskilt slaget vid Baltimore, som inkluderade bombningen av Fort McHenry av brittiska styrkor den 13-14 september 1814.

Författare: Francis Scott Key, advokat och poet, skrev texten.

Key var ombord på ett brittiskt fartyg och förhandlade om frigivningen av en amerikansk fånge när han bevittnade attacken mot Fort McHenry. Under hela natten observerade han bombardemanget men såg att den amerikanska flaggan fortfarande vajade på morgonen, vilket signalerade att fortet inte hade kapitulerat. Denna syn inspirerade honom att skriva en dikt som han ursprungligen hade titeln "Försvaret av Fort McHenry".

Nyckeln skrev dikten den 14 september 1814 och den publicerades i tidningar den 20 september 1814. Dikten sattes till tonerna av en populär brittisk sång, "To Anacreon in Heaven", som komponerades av John Stafford Smith.

Antagande som nationalsång: Det var inte förrän över ett sekel senare som "The Star-Spangled Banner" officiellt erkändes. Den 3 mars 1931 undertecknade president Herbert Hoover en kongressresolution som gjorde den till USA:s nationalsång.
