I've never understood the appeal of The Goonies. This gal gets a high-five from me and a +2 Cloak vs Creepy 'Geek Girls Must Be Had Sex With' Comments.
Hilarious... I get your stuff via RSS, and I'm thinking as I read the comment: "...and? She's right!"... then I see your comment "She makes a good point"... glad we're on the same page here.
Hells yeah. Monster Squad was one big bag of awesome. Nothing against Goonies (or indeed Lost Boys.) but I've had way more fun showing people The Monster Squad.
Goonies has the plus of actually being a good movie. Don't get me wrong, I love Monster Squad, but I can admit that it's all nostalgia because that movie is really a huge piece of shit. Goonies I could see someone watching for the first time now and still enjoying, but unless you saw Monster Squad when you were 8 you're going to look at it and "what the fuck IS this?"
In all fairness, at least the fatkid in Monster Squad busted out a shotgun at one point (Remember his name? :P), and Frankensteins monster took photo's of Sean's sis in the buff. Nothing that cool happened in Goonies, sirs.
I like both of them, but Monster squad deffinitely gets the edge due to the line..."Wolfman's got Nards." If that doesn't sum up the eighteis, what does??
Goonies has a higher rating on IMDB and about 50,000 more votes for it... Goonies rule.
ReplyDeleteI kinda have a crush on her now.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was some sort of mutant?
ReplyDeleteI want to make babies with her.
ReplyDelete3 words: pinchers. of. peril. Nuff said!
ReplyDeleteSloth could take Frankenstein... no contest
ReplyDeleteThe Monster Squad didn't have a fat kid? What about the fat kid that everyone called "fat kid"?
ReplyDeleteSloth could single-handedly dust the entire Monster Squad.
ReplyDeleteWow, someone scoop her up and introduce her to Mom.
ReplyDeleteSomeone gets a high-five. I'm not sure who yet.
ReplyDeleteFirst off- Sloth was SUPERMAN, hello???
ReplyDeleteAnd secondly, seriously, Goonies had something Monster Squad did not have: CHARM.
'Nuff Said.
Yeah, I'm gonna go with Lost Boys on this one.
ReplyDeleteWow this kinda sounds like the Mighty Mouse versus Underdog argument
ReplyDeleteFrankenstein != Frankenstein's Monster.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.

ReplyDeleteBut guys look at that overbite
ReplyDeleteA fat kid and a retard? She just described 80% of the clientele of the game store I visit.

ReplyDeleteGoonies was okay, but Monster Squad friggin' rocks. What other movie has ever answered the question of whether or not the wolfman has nards?
ReplyDeleteGoonies all the way. It is a classic.
ReplyDelete+Karma to Pixie.

ReplyDeleteThe Goonies are good enough. Just ask Cyndi Lauper...
ReplyDeleteAnd I know have to track down Monster Squad to see what the crap everyone is talking about.
ReplyDeleteTO THE INTERNET!
...Oh, right. I'm already here.
I'm shocked at the lack of references to "retard strength" thus far.

ReplyDeleteI had to link to Buffyfest, because they write about a customer that says something that's made for this blog

Monster Squad girl ftw!
ReplyDeleteMonster Squad's fat kid had a shotgun, I'm giving the edge to them.
ReplyDeletehe wasn't the fat kid. his name ... is horace.
ReplyDeleteThe Goonies win because the 25th anniversary box set comes with a board game.
ReplyDeleteI like both of them, but Monster squad deffinitely gets the edge due to the line..."Wolfman's got Nards." If that doesn't sum up the eighteis, what does??
ReplyDeleteTruer words were never spoken.
ReplyDelete"Monster Squad" is a better movie, so she has a point there. But still...
ReplyDeleteAnd R.I.P. Horace :(
