Dreaming.In.Reality

So yesterday I finally got to see Return of the King. Hoollleeee crap. So sad, and so amazing at the same time. Out of all 3, it was the one book.. that while watching it, it was everything that I expected with the book and how it would appear. Of course, another of the sad parts of it, is that there is no more. I cannot wait for the extended version this fall.. and then probably next year the OMG HERE’S THE SUPERDUPER 80 HOUR EXTENDED VERSION boxset.. you know it’s coming! how long can you sit on your couch? I don’t know how people did Trilogy Tuesday! I barely survived the 3 and some odd hours of just RoTK.

So in light of seeing Sean Astin yesterday, I forced K and Marc to watch The Goonies last night. God I love that movie! Though at the end we watched the Cyndi Lauper video for The Goonies R Good Enough.. .and wow.. I can honestly say I DO NOT remember that thing being that messed up*L* OH and I thought that the “new” Orc leader in RoTK, looked like Sloth.. which was another reason I wanted to watch the Goonies.. No one can resist Sloth’s theme as he shouts out HEY YOUUUUU GUYYS!

So I did some looking on IMDB and this is where the kids all are today.
