If I had a nickel for every time I heard about a Goonies sequel being planned, I’d have about 57 cents (after taxes). And now, the rumor mill is churning again.
[Side-note: why are rumors produced in a mill? To be honest, I’d imagine them being made in a factory if we’re going to be venturing in the metaphor department. And don’t get me started about why metaphors are stored in a department.]
But I mean, seriously, it’s time for the people who are behind these rumors to give me a straight answer. Because as a loyal Goonies fan (yea, I have a poster in my room), I feel entitled to the truth.
Therefore, I call for the producers of this rumored sequel to come forth and provide diehard Chunk and Data fans with information!
Then again, I can understand how this would be difficult if the rumors are baseless. If in fact there is no movie, then there will be no producers to stand up to my challenge. It’s very tough to disprove a rumor after all.
Therefore, I call for Sean Astin to come forth and oblige me. For those non-Goonies out there, Sean Astin plays the protagonist in the film I’m talking about. And if anyone can solve this mystery, it’s Mikey himself. For those non-Goonies out there, Sean Astin’s character was named Mikey. I really think that he would be “good enough, for you it’s….good enough!” For those non-Goonies out there, that was a reference to the Cindy Lauper – you know what, for the non-Goonies out there just go and watch the damn movie!
And that’s what I think about the death penalty. Take it or leave it.
In other movie news, the holidays are coming up and I want these two things: A DeLorean that I can pimp out identically to the one seen in Back II the Future and Michael J. Fox so that I can pimp my DeLorean out while driving around town (and through time) with Marty McFly. For those of you non-Back-II-the-Futurers out there, screw you.
Sorry, that wasn’t really movie news, but here’s some: We Like Dragons is in the early stages of production for a live-action feature film involving the troupe. I can’t really say what it’s about, when it’ll be out, or much else right now, but I can assure you it will be absolutely boss.
Boss is one of those words that only come out of douche-bags’ mouths. Except for that rare occasion when you use it in a sarcastic way to make fun of people who use it in everyday conversation. Other words and phrases that fall into this category: phat, fo sho, fo rizzle (or fo drizzle if it’s raining), snap (as in “Oh snap!”), word (in context), tight (definitely in context), dissed, rage, hella, and the list goes on.
And while we’re on the subject of words, does anyone agree with me that it sounds pretentious when anyone uses the word “pretentious” in casual communication? I surely do, but perhaps you do not.
Stop me, I’m rambling! If I had a nickel for every time I caught myself rambling in this blog, I’d have enough money to pay someone to come up with better blog material than “If I had a nickel” jokes.
Anyway, the blog stops here! Well, it stops a couple sentences down. But remember to listen for news about a Goonies sequel and of course, for the official WLD motion picture, which is not a rumor and was not produced in a mill. Or was it produced in a mill?
Also on the horizon are new sketches being posted and maybe even a new music video for loyal, techno-loving fans.
And don’t forget to vote for We Like Dragons on November 4!
