In 2009, Tony and I went to Comic-Con. Josh Brolin was there to promote a new movie. As the panel moderator announced his name, the crowd chanted loudly, “Goonies! Goonies! Goonies!”
His movie No Country for Old Men had recently swept the Oscars, and his role in Milk had earned him a nomination the following year.
Mr. Brolin stepped onto the stage and shook his head at the thousands of nerds chanting “Goonies!”
“Win an Oscar,” he grumbled as he sat down and unwrapped the hershey’s kisses sitting on the table in front of him, “But it’s always ‘The Goonies’ with these guys.”
