Oh, but Goonies is straight up not good.
Yeah, see, bon knows what she's talking about.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Yes. Good enough to used as my ASS-WIPE. And then that shit-stained movie can be flushed into eternal irrelevance.

It will be the Truffle Shuffle Kerfuffle.

Goonies is awesome! Pirate Ships! Truffle Shuffle! Josh Brolin! Martha Plimpton!
I had a thing for Josh Brolin and Corey Fledman in middle school, although my best friend and I rented Thrashin' multiple times for Josh Brolin rather than Goonies.
Goonies is sooo much better than Thrashin' (which is a really, really bad Romeo and Juliet with rival skateboard gangs). All my crushes in middle school were skateboard dudes.

Were you a big fan of Gleaming the Cube?

Oddly enough no. I watched it and I liked it but it wasn't Thrashin'. It's a better movie (I'm sure most things are better than Thrashin')
But the romance was the bigger draw. It was easy to imagine the Cutest boy in School* as Josh Brolin's character and slot myself in as the girlfriend.
- He was a skateboarder and he was cute. He had blonde hair that fell in his eyes and was always doing tricks with his board out front and even the preppy girls liked him.
Also once I liked something I tended to go back to it again and again rather than looking for something new. I still do this to an extent, but especially as a kid I'd rather reread the same book or rewatch the same movie than try something else.
