- 10 Geeky Movies to Raise Your Kids On [Wired's GeekDad blog] - Does everyone but me love "The Goonies?" The Coreys gave me the squicks even as a child.

Yes. You're the only person in the world who doesn't like Goonies. /isolating tactics
ReplyDeleteNo, Liz, you're not alone (although it may just wind up being the two of us). There are a lot of stupid flicks that I have an adolescent attachment to, but The Goonies certainly isn't one of them. I never understood the appreciation.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the Goonies either.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that Real Genius didn't make the list -- when I was a proto-geek, I lived for finding an early-entrance program like that. When I visited Simon's Rock and PEG at Mary Baldwin College in high school, there were no lasers or steam tunnels.
Now every time I make popcorn on the stovetop, I hear "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" while it's popping.
Chalk up another anti-Goonies. Even if I was 24 when it was released.
ReplyDeleteOOOOHHHH, Real Genius!!!!! Love, love, love.
I'm so glad I'm not the only non-Goonies fan in the world. We should start a club!
ReplyDeleteOur kid is going to watch goonies with just me then. GOONIES IS THE BEST AND YOU ARE ALL WRONG! WRONG!
ReplyDeleteNot a Goonies fan, though I know a lot of people who are. I generally just change the subject whenever it comes up.
ReplyDeleteI *love* Real Genius, however.
