According to Facebook, today is the actual day the Goonies from the Goondocks had their adventure into the underground of Astoria, Oregon. I just happen to have watched the film (hey, what else do you do when you're sick, you watch movies!) just this past weekend and I never get tired of it.
The film is one of those movies you always remember. It is up there with Indiana Jones, E.T., and a bunch of other films that I love.
I hear there may be a sequel brewing but, somehow, I doubt it. Do we really need another adventure with them? Don't get me wrong, I would love one to be made, but I also have that feeling that the magic would just die on the vine. Perhaps not.
Well done, Goonies, and I hope to get to the 25th anniversary in June of 2010. Never say die!
