Nostalgia is such a disease dude. The finite nature of art underscores its beauty and whimsy, if you love something let it die!

Reposted from Film Updates

A sequel to ‘THE GOONIES’ is moving forward at Warner Bros after 40 years.

Potsy Ponciroli is set to write the script.

They already did one anyway and it rips.

kingofcatastrophy.bsky.social•8 days ago

They should bring back the original cast, but make it about their kids or something

Goonies 2: Still Gooning

it has like a zero percent chance of being any good. Why do we keep doing this

Nostalgia is a disease bitch

hikeandbikempls.bsky.social•8 days ago

Also music. Can a music fest even exist without RHCP/Weezer/Pixies headlining?

nogoblins.bsky.social•8 days ago

Bars

Everything now is marketed towards people in their mid-30s who break down crying at Disney World.

i have a pitch for this!
first of all sloth is dead obviously and mouth is also dead but he overdosed.
mikey is washed up and won't stop talking about how "down there it was our time....OUR TIME"
also chunk is a billionaire and a bastard

Literally who asked for this.

danalmont.bsky.social•8 days ago

As a boomer who constantly hears how “we had the best music”, I heartily agree.

terijianbearheart.bsky.social•8 days ago

I mean, it was pretty good though to be fair.

liquidnougat.bsky.social•8 days ago

They should start making sequels to paintings

donkeykonga.bsky.social•8 days ago

They keep rebooting shit to pander to the 80s and 90s kids and I’m so fucking sick of it. A couple reboots made a lot of money so they said “fuck it” and tried reviving every big blockbuster from the past 40 years.

Do we really need more Jurassic Park movies? Do we really need Ghostbusters on Ice?

kbenjaminstone.bsky.social•8 days ago

We don’t want it. The people they are pandering to. I vaguely remember those ghostbuster movies coming out. There were two, right? Aside from the one from 2016 fuck I don’t care

donkeykonga.bsky.social•8 days ago

There was another Ghostbusters movie last year

kbenjaminstone.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah that one went totally in and out of my head. I almost, almost saw the one before that because some the reviews weren’t bad but honestly I wasn’t there for the concept during the first movie. I was there for the crew shenanigans.

Have no desire to see Stranger Things kid go fight more ghosts.

Counterpoint: The Goonies was such an amazing movie about a bunch of kids saving their town and we need to have that kind of childlike adventure now more than ever because the world is horrible and scary. Teaching kids that they can make a difference is important.

isat.bsky.social•8 days ago

Counter-counterpoint: that doesn’t have to be the goonies. Make an original childlike adventure, blaze a new trail, have fun with it

realitydysfunction.bsky.social•8 days ago

But I want to hear chilling slow rendition of we are the world and then a distant "Hey you guys" as the trailer cuts to black

lakedistrictcamp.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's going to be rubbish. Snow flakes and transgender data

mlyp.bsky.social•8 days ago

what if instead of the Goonies it was called The Gooners and it was about finding One-Eyed Willy's collection of woods porn idk is this anything

birdrespecter.bsky.social•8 days ago

this would be better than whatever dogshit they come up with

mandatoryusername1.bsky.social•8 days ago

If not for Disney copyright law this could be canonical

lalonguedurayofsun.bsky.social•8 days ago

do they know we can just watch the old movie

katarjin.bsky.social•8 days ago

Try something new Movie Executives...please something new and not for everyone.

electrichead.bsky.social•8 days ago

I NEED to live in a world where things can die. I hate this shit.

mollymachinist.bsky.social•7 days ago

Genuinely one of the worst parts about this is that a Goonies inspired Star Wars show JUST came out.

abysswalkintall.bsky.social•8 days ago

And the first Goonies is honestly not very good

goodtruthboy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Its still so awesome that "if you love something let it die" was the core theme of Logan and then not only did they bring Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine 5 years later but Logan's writer-director went on to make fucking Indiana Jones 5. Nothing ever ends anymore!

thelitespeed.bsky.social•8 days ago

I can't wait for the moment in the movie where the new kids are about to die, then the old cast slo-mo show up and save them before making a joke about how old they are

kingsigy.bsky.social•8 days ago

During my showing of the new Captain America (the irony of it being based on nostalgia isn't lost on me), there were so many trailers or legacyquels that I started to get depressed. How the hell is something like "The Accountant" a movie people where clamoring for a sequel to?

morrisnormal.bsky.social•8 days ago

Nostalgia is a drug that people get addicted to. It's overrated tbh, if you’re gonna destroy your life for a brain thing heroin is a better high

sonicsean34.bsky.social•8 days ago

Some things can work with a late follow-up but The Goonies is such a finite film I can’t think of any way to do a sequel, particularly a late sequel

ratchetfox.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's almost certainly going to suck, and probably diminish the original in the process, like the beetlejuice sequel that no one asked for and.. seemingly wasn't very good as it's already vanished.

amullinstx.bsky.social•8 days ago

Dude, you said the one word Goonies NEVER say

lindsguist.bsky.social•8 days ago

The world does not need a movie starring contemporary Corey Feldman.

ninkendo.bsky.social•8 days ago

Also Potsy Ponciroli? What the hell is that?

jeffreyparties.bsky.social•8 days ago

Unfortunately, The Riffler, Goonies never say die

begging someone, anyone, to make a new thing

(also praying for disney/marvel/star wars to never make another thing ever again)

hollywood is dead and we have killed it

osmote.net•7 days ago

Imagine being so incurious that you think culture peaked when you were eight or whatever fucking yikes

greymoure.bsky.social•7 days ago

They should cast all the same actors that played the kids. It's now a midlife crisis comedy

olivemoon.bsky.social•7 days ago

Idk how much we all have to say stop doing sequels and reboots for Hollywood to fucking listen no one wants this!!! Have an original thought for once God damn it!!!

banalplay.bsky.social•8 days ago

They need to at least keep the villains as the banks and investors buying up all the real estate.

moonsnailmusic.bsky.social•8 days ago

Surely that couldn't be the case in the modern Pacific Northwest?

banalplay.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's weird how the 80s despite being the era of Reagan and 'greed is good' managed to be more aware of where the problems stemmed from. Any movie that didn't indulge anti-Soviet psychosis had either banks or polluters as entities needing to be defeated.

moonsnailmusic.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think one factor is that the 80s Evil Yuppie was just a generic business guy whereas the modern Evil Yuppie is a tech shithead, unlikely to criticize themselves or their target audience on the streaming platforms they control

bewilderedowl.bsky.social•8 days ago

yeah, if you tried to make a musk pastiche the villain in your movie, you'd absolutely get death threats.

morrisnormal.bsky.social•8 days ago

On the other hand, these people have such terrible media literacy they probably wouldn't notice the parallels

bsore.bsky.social•8 days ago

this is the first venom movie and that’s why it fucking rules

zetsubo.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm always saying this except like "Enough fucking Star Wars please"

thedanklark.bsky.social•8 days ago

On one hand I agree, but on the other a lot of the cast became lifelong friends and have been talking about wanting to do a sequel for decades now so I can’t be too mad if a bunch of them come back.

shitpost.gay•8 days ago

this movie is gonna be so fucking bad

thedimpsler.bsky.social•8 days ago

Let’s make a sequel to the movie about the ephemeral joy and whimsy of youth and how all time you spend is precious- Movie executive covered in suspicious white powder five minutes before abusing his child bride
