I really do have the best job in the world. Â It’s true. Â At least that’s what I thought when I got a call from the to photograph the 25th anniversary of the filming of the movie Goonies. Â You remember this movie…Â pirate’s treasure, bank robbers, Sean Astin and the scary yet ultimately lovable guy named Sloth who kept eating all the Baby Ruth candy bars. Â Well, even if you don’t remember it, at least 16,000 other people do and a few weeks ago they all descended upon the town of Astoria, Oregon where the movie was filmed. Â The 3-day event was packed with bus tours, trivia games, movie museums, costume contests..enough stuff to keep me perpetually glued to my “Goonie Weekend” schedule guide.
I spent a fair bit of time snapping away at the autograph signings…watching Corey Feldman endlessly plug his band “Truth Movement” and the-now-slim-and-somewhat-foxy Jeff Cohen (the dude who played Chunk) shamelessly flirt with me and coyly repeat over and over, “Don’t judge me! Â Stop judging me.”
Fans waited in line for five hours to have cast members sign autographs, their hands clutching old VHS tapes, action figures, and even a Goonies board game, for the actors to scribble on.  One guy had driven all the way from Buffalo, New York (granted this guy was wearing a pfizer viagra 100mg latex “Sloth” mask) and another group who had flown in from France…France, people!
This was some serious Goonies business and though I loved the movie I couldn’t quite figure out what it was that had elevated it to cult status. Â Endless childhood? Â Endless possibility? Â Whatever the case, it was pretty awesome to see so many folks unashamedly geeking out and throwing themselves headfirst into ridiculousness.
And that is something I can always respect.
