While promoting Rudy Coaches a Baseball Team, Sean Astin told MTV that a Goonies sequel is “an absolute certainty” at this point. The movie would likely follow the adventures of the original Goonies’ kids and shamelessly exploit the fond memories of an entire generation. Strong DVD sales of the original are cited as the primary reason this idea is even on the table, effectively laying the blame for this inevitable disaster squarely on the fans. With Anne Ramsey long dead and the looming prospect of a CGI Sloth, hopefully someone with some sense realizes this is a bad idea before it’s too late. Or that Konami already made a ‘good enough’ sequel.

Later: more knee-jerk reactions and unwarranted scorn.
