Finally got around to watching The Goonies. Man, the mid-80s really sucked.

I watched it again as an adult, and I realized that in some of those scenes, especially when everyone is talking quickly, their speech is totally incoherent. And Spielberg (for whatever unfathomable reason) never bothered reshooting, or overdubbing those scenes with recordings of coherent speech. It was such a lazily made film, it was almost like one of those made-for-TV movies. But no, somehow it became a cult classic for kids who saw it when it was new.
