Viewing Notes
Saw this as part of a movie that mc chris was showing, as he does when he comes into town for a concert.
I LOVE The Goonies. It has a special place in my heart from my childhood and because of that I find it hard to find any faults with it. I’m blind to them, for sure.
Before the movie chris had instructions for us as an audience to help make it an interactive showing. Anytime Chunk shows up we had to cheer for him like we had been waiting for the movie to get back to him because he really is the star of the film. Then, anytime Data said anything you turned to the person next to you and made comments about how racist it is. Then, thirdly, anytime there was kissing or romance scenes you had to make noise like you were disgusted or it was ewwwwy because every kid knows that stuff is gross.
Not only did this make for an extra fun show (albeit the most talky one I’ve been to at the Drafthouse) but it did help point out to me just how DAMN racist the Data character was. Though, in the big picture despite him being a characature, he’s an equal to the kids, helps them evade the Fratelli’s several times and had doting parents.
Love the Goonies! They never say die!
