In case you hadn't heard, the city of Astoria, Ore., is celebrating 25 years of The Goonies over the next few days. I just got back from a screening of the film and the premiere of a documentary about its creation. Joe Pantoliano (Francis Fratelli) and Jeff Cohen (Chunk) were in attendance, and Corey Feldman, Sean Astin and Richard Donner are due to make appearances over the next few days. You can learn more about the celebration at gooniesanniversary.com.

I just watched this today. Unfortunately it was on AMC which meant there were a billion house ads breaking up the film over and over again for 1 show and 2 other movies which I won't be watching. Somehow it was wide-screen which pleased me a bit but it was still lacking in curse words.
Shit. See? Even Paizo edits it away.

It was awesome to see the movie in a theater with a crowd of Goonies fans. I don't know if I'm going to make it to any of the other events, but I might ride up to The Goonies house tomorrow just to say I've been there. I picked up a commemorative brass doubloon as a souvenir.
I've seen people who traveled here from as far away as Germany, Milan and Norway and pretty much every hotel here is sold out. Also, according to the interview Richard Donner did for the documentary, Goonies 2 is going to happen. He didn't say when, but he did say it was going to happen.
