I've still never seen Goonies. I know S. did, though.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

TO TH LEFT because The Goonies R Good Enough.
Yes. Good enough to used as my ASS-WIPE. And then that shit-stained movie can be flushed into eternal irrelevance.

Suck it, Chunk.
I will do the Truffle Shuffle and you will regret it SO HARD.
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.

I'm about ten years too old for Goonies (it came out after I was out of college), but it's a pretty impressive showcase of young actors who went on to do good work as adults.

Because the new thing might not be as entertaining, and there are precious hours wasted on inferior entertainment.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Airborne! Seth Green in a pageboy hairdo! And rollerblading.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Also too old for Goonies and never saw it, but anything that adds to Cyndi Lauper's discography can't be all bad.
