$\"blog$ <\/a>We watched The Goonies as a family last night. 30 years after it first came out and the film still holds up. My favorite thing about this movie is that it\u00a0celebrates faithful participation in a community that is vulnerable to those with money and power. The goal the kids are chasing isn\u2019t the means to escape their\u00a0lowly station in life through some kind of achievement or upward mobility. The goal is to be free to live, free to survive. The goal is to be able to stick together as a community, to embody important virtues along the way, and allow the unjust powers to show their true colors as they\u00a0become displayed on your\u00a0own body. The Goonies is an effective critique of the corruption that ensues when wealth is concentrated in the hands of only a few.<\/p>\n

We had a good time watching the film. Here are a few interesting Goonies facts:<\/p>\n

$\"blog$ <\/a>1) Director Richard Donner wanted an authentic reaction from the kids when they saw Willie\u2019s ship for the first time, so they didn\u2019t get to see it until it was time to shoot.<\/p>\n

2) One-eyed Willy\u2019s head was an actual human skull.<\/p>\n

3) In the scene when the kids escape the Fratellis and are reunited with their parents on the beach, some of the actors\u2019 real parents were present along with several crew members.<\/p>\n

4) The film, which took five months to produce, was shot almost entirely in sequence, a rare feat in filmmaking.<\/p>\n

5) The late John Matuszak, who played Sloth, had been a former first round draft pick and an NFL defensive linesman for the Oakland Raiders until 1981.<\/p>\n

$\"blog$ <\/a>6) The model ship seen sailing at the end had a miniature R2-D2 hidden on the deck.<\/p>\n

7) The film, which took five months to produce, was shot almost entirely in sequence, a rare feat in filmmaking.<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0The song that Jake Fratelli first sings to Sloth and then to Chunk before he\u2019s captured is from an opera, Giacomo Puccini\u2019s \u201cMadame Butterfly.\u201d<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0The movie shot almost entirely in Astoria, Oregon.<\/p>\n

10)\u00a0When Data falls from the cave ceiling, he screams \u201choly s-h-i-t!\u201d because the actor promised his mother that he would not curse in the film.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
