If, like me, you sometimes grade games on the number of Cyndi Lauper remixes in their soundtrack, then this free game may just be for you. The Goonies 20th Anniversary Edition is a fan-made game for the 2006 Retro Remake competition (whose website is being camped at the moment). It's like the PlayChoice-10 version from my childhood that resided in a Mexican restaurant in my hometown. ('sup Taco Tico?) Thankfully, it doesn't include the confusing first-person corridors from the NES version of Goonies 2.
You know... That's one movie sequel I would like to see from my childhood. Make it with Sean Astin and his kids and get Spielberg and Richard Donner involved and it could be good. There have been rumors about this, but who knows...
I've also been re-enjoying It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. What a great show! I watched the episode entitled "Hundred Dollar Baby" last night and I couldn't stop laughing. Maybe I was just in a good mood, but I don't often laugh aloud that much. I also like the fact that it moves along at a good clip and I feel like I get more out of twenty-two minutes with it versus other shows with the same time constraints. While It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia isn't quite as shocking as I remember it (desensitized much?), I'm quite glad that FX is continuing to produce the show. I just wish Fox would have been that gracious with Arrested Development or ABC with Pushing Daisies...
I've got the Blu-ray version of Dexter season 1 in my Netflix queue, but I'm not so sure about it. If it wasn't for Michael C. Hall, I probably wouldn't bother at all. Frankly, other than Little Miss Sunshine (which is coming out on Blu-ray in February), I'm not too interested in anything in my queue at the moment. I went through a sort of Asian phase recently with Chungking Express, Oldboy, and the Last Emperor. I didn't like Chungking Express at all and the Last Emperor was okay (albeit very long), but I thought Oldboy was fantastic. To me, it has elements of Memento and Fight Club in it and I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised by the film. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
I am considering watching Firefly again since it's now available on Blu-ray. I really love that show, but the factual accuracy of having no sound in space just irritates me! Somehow that just makes it seem fake. I'm also not sure if it's worth a look on Blu-ray since I don't remember it being a very visually appealing show... Still Nathan Fillion is awesome and so are cowboys in space.
Well, that's the brain dump for now. Hopefully February is a more exciting month than January.

But can't you argue that with every space film/tv show whatever to ever be produced?
What are we talking about? The silence in space? Firefly is the only show I know that's had zero sound in it's exterior space shots. EVERYTHING else I can recall has laser sounds and engine hum and whatnot. Sounds better to me. I choose entertainment over actuality in this case.
lol yeah I thought you were saying the opposite. I get it now ;)
