Back in 1985, the Goonies took over the big screen, and they have won the hearts of kids ever since then. That is why the love of the movie will never die.
So over the weekend, Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Ke Huy Quan, Keri Green, Jeff Cohen, and bad guy Robert Davi reunited to honor their late director Richard Donner.
Seeing them all together makes me wish they would finally make a sequel. This way, us, kids at heart, can feel like kids all over again with them.
Josh Brolin is a girl dad, which means that he is their model. So when Westlyn Reign, 3, and Chapel Grace, 1, want to do something to him, he is going to allow them to do it.
He might play the tough guy Thanos on the big screen. But at home, he is a big old softy who gets to wear his locks in tiny ponytails when they want to do his hair.
He looks beautiful. However, they should have done his beard too. Then he would be perfect.
Although, any dad, who lets his girls do that to him, is perfect in my book!
Now that Josh Brolin’s daughter is 2, it is time for Westlyn Reign to learn how to use the potty. Therefore, her dad showed her. Instead, of him teaching her by sitting on his toilet, he got down to her level and sat on her plastic throne.
It is moments like this that Barbra Streisand turns to her husband, James Brolin, and tells him, “He is your son, not mine.”
But for me, it shows that he might play the villain in the Marvel Universe, but at home, he is a big old softie.
Josh Brolin and his wife Kathryn spent Christmas Day in the hospital. That is because they welcomed their second daughter together and his fourth child.
Chapel Grace Brolin came into the world at 6:20p. Her name is as beautiful as she is, so how did her parents come up with it? “Everywhere we have traveled the one place Kathryn and I always found a great solace in were chapels. Not being particularly religious but a God feeling has heavily inundated our lives and chapels have always been sanctuaries where we felt connectedly free to gives thanks,” Brolin wrote. “Chapel Grace is, to us, a manifestation of that celestial feeling that was always felt as we meandered and knelt.”
Brolin has two adult children, Trevor and Eden, with his ex-wife Alice Adair, while he and Kathryn have another daughter, Westlyn Reign, 2.
Next week, The Goonies turns the big 3-5. In honor of that anniversary, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Ke Huy Quan, Josh Brolin, Kerri Green, and Martha Plimpton reunited today to talk about the movie that still has a giant cult following.
So much so, Adam F. Goldberg dedicated two episodes from his sitcoms to it. One on his Fox show Breaking In and the other on his ABC comedy The Goldbergs. You can say he is a huge fan. How huge? He revealed, “For the last 9 years I’ve been secretly writing PART 2 for fun. It’s my masterpiece. I even had a big meeting scheduled with Richard Donner… canceled ’cause of the lockdown! THE GOONIES 2 WILL happen when life resumes. Promise!!!”
If anyone could write a sequel that is loyal to the original, it is him. I hope Donner takes that meeting as soon as he is allowed to take meetings again. Who doesn’t want a Goonies 2? And who doesn’t want it from someone who really idolized the original film?
I know it is a little premature, but let’s all do the Truffle Shuffle in honor of this most excellent news.
