The Goonies sequel rumor rears it's ugly head again

How many times do I, and just about every true Goonies fan, have to say this: DO NOT MAKE A SEQUEL, Hollywood. And, for that matter, DO NOT REMAKE IT EITHER. (My preemptive strike on that one since they're starting to remake beloved 80's movies like Footloose and Red Dawn). Goonies is beloved because it defined our childhoods, and because it still holds up today. I don't know a single person who wants to see grown up Mikey and Brand and their children going on a crazy Goonie adventure. I mean, even Sean Astin has said he doesn't see it as a good idea.

Don't do it!

I'll need to track down an issue of this magazine

Empire Magazine did a Goonies reunion for their 20th issue, getting the entire cast as well as Steven Spielberg and Richard Donner together for an interview. You can watch the video here. Corey Feldman is as obnoxious as ever; Josh Brolin and Kerri Green actually got to speak; and Sean Astin got to finish something he was trying to talk about on the DVD commentary but was interrupted by assface Feldman.

I don't know how I feel about this

Somehow I missed this article last month about the probability of The Goonies becoming a musical, and I'm a little bothered. My reasons are threefold: (a) I generally don't like musicals; (b) I generally don't like musical theater and (c) I really, really wish people would just leave The Goonies alone and let it stay a perfect classic of my youth. Now, does this mean that if the Broadway show happens that I will boycot it? No. Of course I'll go see it, if only to confirm my opinion that it's a bad idea.

The good news: it seems like all talk of a sequel is finally out. Thank God. That would have been a nightmare.

OH MY GOD!

I need these sneakers! My birthday is in November.
