Mod and Admin behavior?

Pistols at dawn, sir!

I'll win. I have truth and righteousness on my side, and I'll shoot you while you're pronouncing "Goonies never say di-URRKHH Thud." Then I'll smugly laugh to myself while throwing away a uneaten Baby Ruth bar.

Funny aside: KidCthulhu can't watch LotR without quoting "Goonies never say die, Mr. Frodo" during all the touching Sam-Frodo scenes.

I'm not left-handed either.

Side note: I'm unreasonably annoyed by the amount of sunlight in those damn caves.

Unless, like Indiana Jones, you reach for your gun... and find it isn't there! You'd then have to go running through the marketplace chased by a short Asian kid with gizmos strapped to his torso, a big lump of a man who can rip your arms out of their sockets like you were a chess playing droid, and a chunky kid bringing up the rear....

Ignominious, that, but a better image for starting a game in media res.

Especially if accompanied by Yakety Sax.

I confess I'm a bit disturbed by the revelation that there are Goonies haters out there, or even in here, among us.

But as long as there are folks who were so touched by the film and all the hope and imagination it brought to us; touched by the fantasy and color and shape it gave to our childhood dreams; touched by the inspiration and power it eventually wrought in our poetry and art--

​

-- I suppose there is yet hope for humanity. Hope for most of us anyway.

That is a hope that not even the coldest of feline hearts, stripiest of pirate shirts, or sharpest of hook-hands can ever, ever take away.

You have to excuse me and Jonesy boy here. We live in a frozen wasteland half a world across where the entertainment in the 80's consisted of following firetrucks and watching the fires...

Sorry, but I refuse to believe that such a horrible concept as [80's in Finland] ever existed. That was just a bad dream.

 

[fba827]

Maybe Piratecat is just jealous that the pirate in Goonies has a) more treasure, b) cooler traps, c) his own folklore legends, and d) a more phallic-sounding name.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

hey, PC what's your opinion on "The Princess Bride" and Holy Grail?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Speaking for myself only: loved MP:tHG, found TPB to be better than average but not great, and classify Goonies as a watch once and smile movie.

Not to mention that those caves go everywhere under that town, and nobody has ever come across them before (well, except for Copperpot and One-Eyed-Willie...)

But...uhm...do not mistake the above comment for anything other than absolute love and adoration of this movie...


Seriously though, I do agree with most of your criticisms of the movie. But, besides the nostalgia of it being a movie I saw in high school, it's a movie I took my wife (then girlfriend) to see when we were dating. So, I've got a bit of sentamentalism wrapped up with it also. She loves it too.
