32 Candles and a Groonie

November 12, 2003

You might not have heard of this yet, but accord­ing to E! Online the movie “Six­teen Can­dles has been granted a birth­day wish–a sequel.” That’s right, Sam Baker and Long Duk Dong will return in a sequel to the hit 1984 movie star­ring Mol­lie Ring­wald and Anthony Michael Hall.

In other news, direc­tors Steven Spiel­berg and Richard Don­ner have report­edly pur­chased the script to the sequel to Goonies (1985) and MTV(Music Tele­Vi­sion) reports that Goonies 2 will reunite the orig­i­nal cast.

The MTV arti­cle men­tions that “the new group is called the Groonies, because they hap­pen to live in a town where [Data], the Chi­nese kid, lives … and he’s got an elec­tron­ics repair shop and all the kids hang out at his shop. He has this Chi­nese accent and he calls the Goonies the Groonies, and so the new kids call them­selves the Groonies.”

Fur­ther proof that Hol­ly­wood is out of ideas.
