I've Never Seen the Goonies

[Terry]

The missus LOVES that fucking Goonies movie.

It looked pretty gay back in the day, thus I didn't bother to see it then. She implored me to watch it with her when it was on telly recently. Saw about 10 minutes or so, decided it in fact WAS pretty gay and left the room.

Not quite sure what that says about the movie...then again, back in the day while all my classmates were going to see ET 10 billion times, I was sneaking in the theater to see Blade Runner instead...never saw ET, never saw the Goonies and haven't regretted either choice.

Not every film Speilberg had a hand in was some sacred nugget, box-office grosses notwithstanding.

Great movie. Remember going to see it in the theater as a kid.

I still like it. Supposedly, there's a scene with a gigantic octopus, but it got left on the editing room floor.

And it has Joey Pants in it.

There is... I've seen the uncut version. If you pay attention, towards the end of the movie when the kids are coming back from the cave, Chunk mentions something about it...

this was a good kid flick in its day, way better than the garbage they put out for tweens these days.

I remember my mom took me to this and I had somehow not seen any previews. Maybe the only movie I ever went into totally blind. I kept waiting for the goonies to jump out and start killing people. And they never did.

I downloaded it and tried to watch it last week, but got bored as fuck and turned it off. Oh well. One thing that impressed me, though, was little Cory Feldman's acting. He was as talented kid.

Personally, I prefer the NES game...
