The Goonies 2: Will it be Funny to See a Fully-Grown Man Truffle Shuffling?
Then buzz it up

Do we really need to see a grown man truffle shuffle?
That’s the question that has been buzzing around in our heads for the past few hours after news that there’s a distinct chance that the Goonies 2 film, rumoured for so very long, is actually in the early stages of real, bona-fide production.
And if the sources are to be believed, this isn’t a case of The Lost Boys 2: Straight To DVD And Missing The Point Of The First Completely - this is something Warner Brothers want to actually try and get right.
So how do we feel about that? Well, I would say we have mixed emotions.
See, everyone remembers The Goonies - it’s one of those films that everyone claims as their own, or that everyone claims defined their childhood in some way.
Kind of like Stand By Me, but with less River Phoenix. It just had a huge effect on so many young lives, older lives, middling lives and lives that came about later on - it’s a timeless classic. We’ll admit to that. We will - see? We just did it.
The fact that there have been rumours floating about regarding the possibility of a Goonies sequel for so long is sure to get anyone’s hackles up and turn them into the defensive wall of fury, angrily denying that anything will come about from any of this.
And we would never take that away from you - please feel free to shout, scream and generally be twits in the comments section below.
But when you pick up on news that says Warner Brothers are pushing the sequel as a big-budget blockbuster (and remember, this is the studio that released The Dark Knight, officially the best film ever), you start to take notice.
In fact, a source close to the project has told Moviehole that a team of writers are already working on a script and that some of the actors from the original film will be involved.
So how do we feel about the real prospect of a Goonie sequel? Well, taking such a cherished childhood memory and giving it a massive makeover, bringing the sequel to a whole new audience and churning millions of dollars into it could just result in this situation: you sit in the cinema, the film starts, it’s one and a half hours comprising of nothing but a turd staring back at you, steaming away on screen and stinking up the theatre.
You cry.
Your heart is broken.
Your childhood is ruined.
You lose all respect for Corey Feldman… wait - is that possible?
Nevertheless, hecklerspray awaits with baited breath for any further news on the matter.
When the movie does eventually come about we’ll be sure to decry it, lambast it and generally rip on it. Because let’s be honest here - we want it to be good, but there’s little chance The Goonies 2 will be anything more than fecal matter on a stick.

I hate to be “that guy” but in this scenario, the word is “bated”–one waits with “bated” breath. As in abate, withold, abstain….not baited as in lure, load, etc.
Also, a new Goonies could be all kinds of sweeeeeet!

now that’s intimidation.

This would be sooo cool to have a GOONIES sequel! They have to bring back the original Chunk and Data for sure or I ain’t goin to see it! They we’re the most Unforgettable characters of them all. Hopefully Josh Brolin will do it again if he ain’t too big of a “moviestar”.

How can you justify saying that, just because Warner made Dark Knight (which let me tell you, was not the best movie ever made, people just had to see and say “oh my god, heath or however the fuck you spell that idiots name), goonies 2 is gonna be great!?!?
It’s like comparing different sony products and saying that just because sony made the bravia… you get my point no?
Goonies was a cornerstone in adventure movie making. Yes, there have been some great adventure movies since, but to try create a sequel will do nothing less than ruin the original.
Go fuck yourselves Warner.

An easy way to remember it is Haim = Ham. He got fat.
Feldman = Mouth.

Too bad all the actors are way too old and some have died. This is a terrible idea.

Dont lambast it yet.It looks like there really seriouse in making Goonies 2 a success but dont expect it to be better then the original.They will never capture that again it was a one time deal which is what i thought the Goonies was anyway since it took them over 20 years to finaly decide to make a sequle.They should have done this 2 or 3 years after the original when the was still white hot.
August 15th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Im hoping it will be good anyway for the sake if pissing on my and everyone elses childhood again like they did with Indi and other 80s sequels.Ill be rooting for them to get this one right anyway as a fan.I was about 8 when Goonies was released so im about 4 years younger then these guys.And millions poorer.

Is it funny to see a full-grown man truffle shuffling? I’ll let you judge for yourself. This is a video of DC radio host Chad Dukes doing it to pay off losing a weight-loss bet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxGXXozQhnw
