I need y’alls help.
I’m catching crap because it was my idea to have a movie night in our neighborhood and play a movie on an outdoor projector screen.
I said we needed to offer a “big kid” movie as we usually do PG movies.
I need a consensus.
Do you think “The Goonies” rocks?
I think its the perfect movie choice.
They are trying to save a town from a country club development, (we live in one.)
Kids cuss.
Pirates.
Broken penis statue.
Indiana jones meets “Stand By Me” coming of age…
How can anyone NOT like “The Goonies?!”
So I leave town very short notice and I didn’t help spread the word about movie night.
It bombed.
It bombed in a special way, that I’m hearing about it in another state.
The failure.
Am I totally not as cool as I am in my head?
I thought I picked the best fall outdoor movie EVER for big kids or am I just so cool that the event bombed because I wasn’t there?
I don’t know. I am guessing the latter. 😉
Do you know how hard it is to pick a movie EVERYONE is happy with?
Meanwhile, miss my blog and talking to everyone and I have lots of new adventures to share when I get home.
PS if you are thinking its not a good idea to say we aren’t home, we have house sitters, dog, gated community, alarm, boobie traps and communicable disease spread by surfaces in our house and nothing to steal. Have at it.
Movie night, yeah, Goonies, okay, cool or not, sure, yeah… Then I get to your postscript and the cats are simultaneously scurrying away from me and running up to me wondering if I’m okay because I’m pounding the countertop in a fit of laughter. Next person that says the internet is a black hole and a useless piece of technology, I’ll be responding, “Well, mostly, yes, but THERE’S ABBIE. Shut up.”
“THAT’S WHAT I SAID! BOOBIE TRAPS!” -Another great line from “The Goonies.” Most of it is true and I will let the “robbers” figure it out. I would never post it if my house were empty but we always seem to be able to get someone to stay. Boobie trap! Boobie trap!
