A Little More Thought, Please.

So, I recently read an article. http://www.virginmedia.com/movies/movieextras/top10s/goonies-sequel.php. In this article, they talk about the ever-in-talks Goonies 2, and start speculating about who could play the literal next generation of the Goonies. Which I don't have a problem with...except for their complete lack of imagination, save for one casting choice.

Pretty much every offspring is modeled exactly after their parent (with the exception of Andi). Come on, Virgin, show some imagination! Why not swap the sons of Mikey and Brand, and have Brand's son the smaller but smarter one, and Mikey's son the "meathead"? Why not make Mouth's kid the slight outcast, like Chunk, and have Chunk's kid be the techno-wizard. Data's kid can be the smartass. You can keep the stereotypes, but think outside the box some, for crying out loud.

Makes me wish I wrote for sites like that.

Feel free to comment. So that I may respond and possibly mock and ridicule you. Just kidding. Maybe. We'll see what you say first, how about that.
