Things you didn't like about SBM...



No movie is perfect so I thought it would be fun to hear what everybody disliked about the film.

There are two lines that I absolutely hate.
1. "STOP IT!" After the leeches. Gordie looks like a demon child
2. "That's it you're ass is grass" Not really sure why but it just makes me cringe. I don't think his acting was very good. Charlie Hogan I think it was.

Anyone else?

At the end where narrator Gordie tells what happens to each of the characters, I'm surprised Gordie and Vern didn't keep in close touch, especially since Gordie literally saved Vern's life on the train tracks.

I think it was just laziness on the screenwriters part. I haven't read the original story but I know both Vern and Teddy are also dead by the time the story is written. As I recall they both died in their late teens/early twenties.

gordie and chris's relationship got a little too much gay in a few scene
