Mike S tweets The Goonies

Once a week our mad twit Mike S from the Corner of Terror will shanghai The Basement's Twitter account and tweet along to a non-horror movie, all for your Internet pleasure. Cool, yes!?! We think so. 

For his latest foray into film criticism at 140 characters or less, The S opts to revisit Richard Donner's 1985 comedy/adventure The Goonies starring Corey Feldman and that kid who played Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Read on, brave web nerd!

Mike S here to tweet along to #TheGoonies tonight since last night's attempt with #ShortCircuit was such a mess...

The bunks in the jail cell at the beginning of the movie remind me of some of army bunks I've slept on... #TheGoonies 

I wonder what movie is playing on the TV during the opening car chase. Anybody know? #TheGoonies 

And cue THE Corey fucking Feldman- 1980's movie icon... #TheGoonies 

Whenever I see Ke Huy Quan (Data), I can't help but remember him as Short Round, and always hear the "Indiana Jones" theme... #TheGoonies 

#MovieTrivia: Jeff Cohen, who played Chunk in #TheGoonies is now a successful attorney...

You known Sean Astin's face hasn't changed much between #TheGoonies and his role as Samwise in #LordOfTheRings...

I wonder how much Pepsi paid to have their product used at the 06:48 mark... #TheGoonies I also saw a couple of MAD Magazines...

Who here has ever done the "Truffle Shuffle"? *raises hand...* #TheGoonies 

#MovieTrivia: Jeff Cohen (Chunk) had chicken pox during filming #TheGoonies, and you can see the pox scars during the "Truffle Shuffle"...

Rube Goldberg machines are always interesting to watch I find... #TheGoonies 

Corey Feldman always played the annoying smart asses in his movies... #TheGoonies 

I always wished we had an attic like in the movies... #TheGoonies 

You know... I think I have the pirate book that the Brand looks through in the attic... #TheGoonies 

I think we all have that one friend for whom you can do a countdown to chaos upon his touching something... #TheGoonies 

If you were a pirate what would you name your ship? I'd call mine "The Black Kracken"... #TheGoonies 

Cue the villianous businessman who wants to kick families out of there homes to build a golf course... #TheGoonies 

Who remembers watching the Cyndi Lauper video that plays on the TV during #TheGoonies?

How exactly does one commit "Hari Krishna"? #TheGoonies 

Cue a verbal product placement as Chunk mentions "Baby Ruth"... #TheGoonies 

Whenever I watch #TheGoonies, always seem to find Stephanie (played by Martha Plimpton) to be more attractive than Andrea...

What would you say was your "Gooniest" adventure growing up? #TheGoonies 

I was wondering what the hell a rooster was doing crowing during the scene when #TheGoonies arrive at the restaurant... It was my watch.

Anne Ramsey is such a joy to watch in her crotchety, mean momma roles... #TheGoonies 

That is some seriously nasty assed water into those cups... Ick. #TheGoonies 

Strange growling sounds coming from the cellar are seldom good news... #TheGoonies 

Aaaaaaand... Cue... SLOTH! #TheGoonies 

I just noticed that there is a LOT of screaming in #TheGoonies...

#AwesomeLines: "I've had all I can stand, and I can't stand no more!" #TheGoonies

What's your favorite ice cream flavour? Chunk seems to like any and all flavours... #TheGoonies 

I love the "Psycho" like music when they find the stiff in the cold room with the ice cream... #TheGoonies 

I don't ever recall my brother and I drawing pistols while arguing over pizza like these two crooks... #TheGoonies 

I'd like to know where Spielberg got the shirt and pants that Chunk is wearing... They're kinda cool... #TheGoonies 

I love Chunk's lines... "I love the dark... I love the dark... but I hate nature..." #TheGoonies 

The scene with the pips always makes me smile... #TheGoonies 

Am I the only person that cringed when the blender scene took place? #TheGoonies 

#MovieTrivia: During the blender scene, Chunk says his sister's name- which was also the name of Jeff Cohen's real life sister. #TheGoonies

#AwkwardMoments: Trying to calm a distraught woman and coming across a skeleton... #TheGoonies

#HelpfulHint: If you find a string buried under the sand... don't tug on it... #TheGoonies

I... I... I forgot about the scene with the bats... I don't like bats. Really. I don't like bats. *closes eyes* #TheGoonies 

Troy is such a douche... but I knew people like him back in High School, sad to say. #TheGoonies 

And cue the start of that great heroic team of Chunk and Sloth! #TheGoonies

I love how these movies always have the inspiring, heroic, speech to keep the heroes moving forward. #TheGoonies

The 1:07:28 marks displays a very well done example of Product Placement for Baby Ruth. #TheGoonies

#FactOrFiction: The desire for chocolate has been known to give women superhuman strength... #TheGoonies

One Eyed Willy really had a thing for Rube Goldberg machines... #TheGoonies 

Who remembers what their first kiss was like? #TheGoonies 

I'm not entirely sure I'd enter a cave that looks like a skull... #TheGoonies 

Anybody else find it hard to tweet when you've got a cat playing with your ponytail? #TheGoonies 

I look forward to the day when my piano lessons will help me solve a pirate puzzle... #TheGoonies 

#AwesomeLines: "If you hit the wrong note, we'll all 'B flat'. heh..." #TheGoonies

I would've had SOOO much fun during the water slide scene... #TheGoonies 

#MovieTrivia: The actors weren't allowed to see the pirate ship until it was time to film the scene of them finding it. #TheGoonies

Does anyone remember the name of the pirate ship? #TheGoonies 

We all have one friend that you can tell is okay because they're complaining about something... #TheGoonies 

Ow... I think a pair of chattering teeth clamped to my nuggets would be quite painful... #TheGoonies 

Mouth is like a chipmunk storing jewels instead of nuts... #TheGoonies 

"HEY YOU GUYS!" marks the dramatic Errol Flynn entrance of Chunk and Sloth! #TheGoonies 

Awwww... Cue the romantic music and the kiss between Brandon and Andrea after he saves her... #TheGoonies 

I'm guessing the Fratellis didn't figure out that One Eyed Willy loved booby traps despite all of the ones in the caves. #TheGoonies 

Did one of the Fratellis go "meta" when he asked his brother whether or not he saw the movie? #TheGoonies 

I love explosions in movies... #TheGoonies 

Who else was worried about Sloth when he let the boulder go in order to go save his family? #TheGoonies 

#AwesomeLines: "Your voice is actually nice... when your mouth isn't screwing it up..." #TheGoonies

And cue the Domino's Pizza product placement... I wonder how many people felt the urge to have pizza after watching this movie? #TheGoonies 

The richest family in Astoria speech makes me thing of "It's a Wonderful Life"... #TheGoonies 

Ooooo... Pretty sparkly jewels... #TheGoonies 

The shot of the pirate ship sailing away is just a beautiful way to end the movie... #TheGoonies 

With the pirate ship going over the horizon, this week's tweet along comes to an end. I give #TheGoonies a Good!

Tune in to @camethebasement next Sunday at 7 p.m. PST as Mike S. tweets along to another non-horror film.
