Rumors of Goonies II: Never Say Die (The Reunion)



Will there ever be a sequel to the timeless cult classic, The Goonies.

Director and writer, Spielberg and Donner, have been debating with Warner Brothers for over 2 decades now on whether or not they ought to make a sequel to Goonies. It was close to happening in 2009; Sean Austin and the actors who played the characters, Data and Chunk, all reported that it was a sure thing when asked. But now, the idea has returned to the idea cloud.

The bottom line is that WB executives want to push something 2nd-rate through production, but those who still have close feelings for the original don't want the sequel to ruin its memory. And we all know, that is a very easy thing to do.

This sequel to the '80s flick was supposed to find the original stars of the first film reuniting 20 years later (along with their kids) to solve a new mystery.

As for me, even though I am terribly fond of the original film, I'm rather glad they aren't going to go through with it. (It would be kind of weird to see a grown-up Chunk do the truffle Shuffle.)

Do you want a sequel? Or No? Leave your opinion in the comments box below.

p.s. A funny bit of trivia is that two years, in 1987, after the release of the original Goonies, "Goonies II" was released, in video game form.

    Oh man, that is a great picture, I can't believe how different they all look! I can't believe that was really made 20 + years ago. I'd probably rather they don't remake it as well.

    No-go on the remake. Let's cherish the memories, and remember Sean Astin for his best role: Samwise. Or potentially the little boy in white water summer.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...

Song Analysis: Your Blood by Aurora

Do You Recognize the Melody? When I first listened to Aurora's 2023 hit single, " Your Blood ," I was immediately reminded of " Lovefool ," a 1996 classic from fellow Scandinavians, The Cardigans. I assumed they were both singing about unrequited love, but I realized they told different stories as I spent more time with Aurora's work. Background Interview with the Artist In this article, A Matter of the Heart , Aurora gives listeners a glimpse into the meaning behind her hit single, " Your Blood" .  In summary, "Your Blood" reflects on the loss of heart and empathy in a world driven by rationality and profit, exploring themes of pain, empathy, and interconnectedness.  Inspired by a letter written by  Indigenous activists from Brazil , Aurora's album,  What Happened to the Heart?,  questions humanity's reliance on mind over heart, highlighting how decisions driven by logic rather than compassion lead to suffering, both for the Eart...
