OH! And Kerry Green, who played Andy and also starred in "Lucas" with Corey Haim, Charlie Sheen, and Winona Ryder, got out of acting a few years after Goonies and became an art student. She's only recently started taking roles again, including a turn as a young mother on "ER".
I remember that octopus scene, too. I think the televised version also had a scene of the boys buying supplies at a drugstore and looking thru Mad Magazine, a point referenced later when Mickey figures out the trick of folding the map in on itself. And I think they do mention the Goon Docks, maybe right around the time the developers show up. Something like "they're gonna tear down the Goon Docks." Maybe. I don't know.
Johnny Cat, I too had never realized that was Josh Brolin. I did always wonder why Josh Brolin looked so familiar...
Random bit of gossip. It's fairly well known that John Astin (TV's Gomez Adams) married Patty Duke after she'd given birth to son Sean, whom Astin adopted. But it's a little unclear who Sean's biological father is. John and Patty dated in 1970, but she was also dating Desi Arnaz, Jr. Desi's mother, Lucille Ball, disapproved of the relationship and told her son to end it. On the rebound, Patty married rock music promoter Michael Tell, whom she barely knew. That's when she became pregnant. Patty later insisted her marriage with Tell was never consummated, and she believed Astin to be the real father, though the media tried to link Sean to the Arnaz clan, a rumor that was fueled when Desi Sr. visited Patty in the hospital just after Sean's birth in February of '71.
I'd like to point out a bit of misinformation in the lead-in to the article. The poster summarized a few of the facts from the article, including the tidbit that "you would have to walk for seven hours to burn off a Super Sized Coke. Seriously." Actually, the full article states that seven hours of walking would burn off the calories in a Super Sized MEAL consisting of a Coke, Big Mac, and fries. The soda alone might take you 2-3 hours, depending on the kind of exercise you engage in and your resting metabolic rate.
I'm all for pointing out the cause-effect relationship between high calorie foods and weight gain, but don't spread inaccuracies by ineptly paraphrasing your own post.
When I was in Dublin, a tour guide told my group that Leo the Lion was "discovered" at an Irish zoo. After being filmed for the MGM titles, he lived out a long and happy life as a national symbol in the Dublin zoo. You can still see his little house.

Ahh, Hollywood.
