What better way to celebrate Hump Day?

I'm pretty stoked. Tomorrow I am going to see Goonies in the theater. Yes, you read that right. Goonies. In the theater. How sweet is that? There are a couple theaters here in town that are running a "classic movie season" (my guess is that they're trying to boost business - this is a pretty good way to do it, if you ask me). *The shows are on Wednesdays only, and the tickets are $5. Not to mention, this theater has THE BEST POPCORN OF ALL TIME. Seriously, Goonies for $5, plus a 32 oz coke & killer popcorn? What's not to love about my Wednesday nights these days?

*If any of you locals would like theater/showtime information, give me a call or shoot me an email and I'll get it to you. I'm going with some friends from work, but if any of ya'll would like to join us, you're more than welcome.

Shut Up! I wanna come....

Yeah, I know... I thought of you guys when I found out they were doing it. It's at our favorite theater. You know, the one you used to go to in your pj's - where I had my momentous "gee, I wish I had a catheter" moment. Good times. I'll miss you tomorrow. :(

I so want to go take Kelly to this. This is his favorite movie. Every time I ask him what he movie he wants to watch it's either "Goonies" or "Dumb and Dumber." Go figure. I can recite most of it, which just adds to the fun in his opinion. Will you please email me which theater is doing this. Thanks for the info. I'm so excited.

I might have to take Adam to this, he loves Goonies.

I AM a Goonie... If you can quote the entire movie, you're a Goonie too!

Tell One-Eyed Willie hi from me.

P.S. I always wanted someone like Data around. He was way ahead of his time.

Girls, the movie was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC! Oh my gosh, I laughed my fool head off! (More so than when I watch it at home, because I was so darn giddy to be seeing it in the theater.) Oh man, I do love that movie. The bad news, for those of you who didn't make the show tonight, is that they're only playing the flashback films on Wednesday. So, if you missed the show tonight, you've missed it this week. They'll be doing a different movie ever week for the next 18 weeks. I will, of course, be keeping you posted via the blog. (At least, for the movies that I love.) Just a heads up - next week is Casablanca (sigh), and the week after is Princess Bride. Mark your calendars - more details to come.

I have never seen Goonies. Tragedy.
Princess Bride, however, is one of my all time faves! Love that show!
...stop rhyming and I mean it! Anybody want a peanut?...
...bye boys, have fun storming the castle...
...my name is Indio Montoya. You keeled my father. Prepare to die...
Hehehehe. If I weren't trapped in hell (you know what I'm talking about), I'd go pull it out right now. Alas, will Tuesday ever get here?

Beal, I cannot wrap my mind around you never having seen Goonies. Dude, it's one of the quintessential 80's movies. I mean ONE OF THE BEST. We'll have to see if we can download and watch it when we're on the cruise. It's freakin awesome... you'd LOVE IT, I know!
