Owen Cooper is riveting as a suspected child killer in Netflix's harrowing drama. But how does he compare to the greats?

a simple expression of love for each other

Nov 23, 2023 | wilw.medium.com | Wil Wheaton

While I was cooking the cranberries, Ryan and his wife were behind me, preparing our turkey. Anne and Nolan were in the living room, reviewing the short list of "things Wil forgot we needed" which was only 2 items this year, a new family record. The spray of orange oil as I zested the peel into the sauce was bracing and wonderful. I looked up and just took in, for a few seconds, the love and the joy all around me.

Names and other details have been changed. In the summer of 1981, my friend Jenny, who lived next door, had a friend from Northern California visit for a couple of weeks. Her name was Candice, and she went by Candi. She was my first - and biggest - childhood crush.
My sister and I were abused and exploited on the set of The Curse. Our parents did not protect us.

Jul 16, 2023 | wilw.medium.com | Wil Wheaton

After Stand by Me, everything changed. The attention from entertainment journalists, casting directors, and especially teen magazines came pouring in. The movie was a generational hit, beloved by critics and audiences alike, and every single one of us could pick anything to do next. River's parents and his agent got him Mosquito Coast, with Harrison Ford, as his next movie. I also auditioned for the role, but I knew even then that River was going to book the job.
Time Enough At Last

Jan 31, 2023 | wilw.medium.com | Wil Wheaton

The phrase "you have too much time on your hands" came across my event horizon, as a response to a silly thing I did to amuse myself. I've heard this for my entire life, and every few years, I write a post like this about it. This is a slightly edited version of my response to the person who said it. I doubt very much you mean to be hurtful when you say this. It's just a silly thing you say, like "tell us how you really feel". It doesn't mean anything, it's just a little joke. About that.
