Beloved 80s adventure movie The Goonies<\/i> turned 30 last week. That’s a milestone you probably didn’t know or really care about, much like how you missed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/i> movie<\/a>‘s 25th anniversary in March.<\/p>\n

But it was a big deal in Astoria, Oregon, the small northwest town where The Goonies<\/i> was filmed. Over the weekend, Astoria welcomed over 10,000 fans<\/a> (more than their total population) to take part in a weekend of meet-and-greets, panels, and other Goonies<\/i>-centric events. The big draw this year was a screening at John Warren Field, a high school athletic field featured in the movie that will soon be torn down<\/a>. Fans also participated in the “One-Eyed Willy Treasure Geocaching Hunt,” which is about as crudely modern as a Goonies<\/i> remake would probably be.<\/p>\n

We love when people care way too much about their favorite pop culture, and we’re sad that we missed The Goonies<\/i> anniversary. Only one year left to plan for the Short Circuit<\/a> celebration!<\/p>\n

You can also always check out The Goonies<\/i> from our collection for a belated celebration (HU DVD 3576<\/a>).\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
