Jerk Alert! News of the Goonies sequel has sent me into a frenzy. This joyous information has awoken this blogger from his hibernation, and I'm about to blow. To quote Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction, I'm like, "super fly TNT, I'm the guns of the Navaronne!" This is nothing like the sacrilegious remake of Footloose. It isn't even akin to the crappy remake of Willy Wonka. We're talking about the original cast members, and all the original players. Forget for a moment my recent diatribe on the fact that we don't invent any new intellectual properties anymore, because I'm talking about GOONIES. So here are my favorite GOONIE moments. Feel free to sound off in the comment section below!
Number 5: Either Andy lost weight, or she didn't come up in the bucket...
After a moving speech by Mikey, the gang decides NOT to take a ride up Troy's bucket. Too bad for him.
Number 4: That's what I call modern art...
Amidst the chatter and bickering in the attic, Mouth finds a moment to spread some love while rummaging through the "rich stuff".
Number 3: Sloth loves chunk (Need I say more)
Perhaps the most misquoted line from the film, this was a touching moment where two outcasts found each other. Sloth, you complete me.
Number 2: "I want to know everything..." "Everything?!"
Aside from taking a "doo doo" a la Chapelle in the back of a theatre, this deed finishes a close second place.
Number 1: Hey you Guuuuuuuuuys!
Here's to saving your friends with a little panache.

Oh man! Not only a great movie to a young generation, inspired by adventure, but also a fantastic package of hidden messages so the adult viewer also can enjoy the movie just as thoroughly. I say nay to the sequel.
Ahh yes! Welcome back
