But I hope my wrongness is mitigated by the fact that The Sound of Music was one of the few movies I'd seen before age 13, which is when I moved to the US and discovered that OMG THERE ARE STORES WITH LIKE THOUSANDS OF MOVIES AND FOR JUST A FEW DOLLARS YOU CAN TAKE THEM HOME AND WATCH THEM AND THE MAGIC IS YOURS FOR A BRIEF SPAN OF TIME. And within 2 years, I'd seen every Rogers-and-Astaire movie. [And yes, I feel as if that paragraph I just wrote sounded similar to something that Jennie would write. Also, The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle is unjustly underrated.]Kitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08020166064056573242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109551.post-65137975818214581202010-10-28T17:56:16.279-04:002010-10-28T17:56:16.279-04:00You love The Goonies?

There! <br><br>Then you can go see the house where they were getting evicted from because someone was supposedly going to build a golf course there and realize that there is no way in hell that a golf course would ever fit in that oddly shaped piece of land because there's too many roads and streets in the way but it doesn't matter because there are a bunch more Goonie sights to see and they are all fun. <br><br>Plus Kindergarten Cop was also filmed in Astoria so you can stop in front of the school on your way out of town and scream, "It's not a tumor!", at the top of your lungs.<br><br>Also, it's near the beach. So that's nice too.sprizeehttp://sprizee.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109551.post-33699959622272891192010-10-28T18:04:07.321-04:002010-10-28T18:04:07.321-04:00Joe needs to see The Goonies.
