Natacha and I watched the Goonies this past weekend. She’d never seen it, and I hadn’t in probably 20 years, so I felt it my civic duty to buy the DVD (on the cheap) and let her experience the wonders of One-Eyed Willy, the “truffle shuffle,” young Joey Pants, and Corey Feldman in a Purple Rain t-shirt and Member’s Only jacket.
Yeah, so she didn’t like it.
The movie may not be as good as I thought it was when I was ten, and maybe it’s the nostalgia talking, but I don’t know… I think they’re still good enough for me.
I could have done without all the close-ups of that retard, though.

We were trying to eat supper while watching it, and Sloth slobbering all over that fat kid almost put me off my fish taco.
I make my wife watch a sloth montage before we do it so I look really good by comparison.
Nostalgia or not, the Goonies rock. I especially love Corey Feldman's speech about the wishes in the wishing well.
See this one? This was my wish. And it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back.
Kids grow up just too darned fast these days, don't they?
How can one not like Goonies? *shaking head*
