Goonies of the Caribbean Mash-Up

This is a cracking mash up of The Goonies and The Pirates of the Caribbean. I think it works really well.
What do you think of it?

The Goonies are dead.

Richard Donner has given confirmation that the Goonies sequel is dead again. Apparantly most of the original cast were up for it and the latest script had the original members kids going off on an adventure. In my opinion that fact makes the sequel not happening a good thing.

Donner tells Variety that the most recent attempt “simply didn’t work out.

“We tried really hard, and Steven (Spielberg) said, ‘Let’s do it.’ We had a lot of young writers submit work, but it just didn’t seem to call for it,” Donner explained, “I’m in the process of trying to get it done as a musical on Broadway. Wouldn’t that be great?”

In answer to Donner's last question I would have to say "No!"

What do you think of the news? What about a Goonies musical?
