answer: What is "The Goonies", Alex

And the question?
Well, let me preface this by saying you never know when you'll learn something new.
Just like you may think you're going to learn something at a university talk, but you may not.
Let's begin with that latter part, shall we?
I had been looking forward to the faculty lecture at Armstrong. Titled "Popular Ideology: Notes Toward An Investigation", it proposed to investigate the effect of media on our thoughts of the world. Specifically, this talk, which was open to the public, drew folks in with the following question: "What does 'Hunger Games' have to do with world hunger?"
As far as I am concerned, the talk was a major fail.
First, it failed to mention that specific movie even once. You cannot entice with a tidbit and then never follow through, especially in such a setting.
Second, the young man, Chris Cartright, professed to trying to show off his vocabulary...but had read many of his quote-laden slides to us, rather than address his thoughts concerning those quotes.
Third, he also intimated that the general public would have received a very different lecture from him, with a less-educated verbiage.
So, he insulted his colleagues, the students, and the public who were in the audience, as well as not truly covering the topic.
That's too bad.
Let's hope his "investigation" will bear fruit. His proposal has merit, but not his approach. He was making the data fit his hypothesis, rather than using the correct method. To wit, first make observations to determine any pattern which may exist, then state the hypothesis which may account for that pattern, followed by the design of the objective experiments (data-gathering). Finally, the determination is made of whether the conclusion supports the hypothesis.
When addressing the issue of ideology, which is the imaginary relationship between people and the real world, a huge database must be utilized.
I wish him success, but he should refine what he is seeking to find. His investigative foray is too wide, making it too blunt to punch a hole through the darkness and into the light.
Now, on to the fun!
As I am sure you know, "The Goonies" was a beloved children's movie of 1985. A group of kids of varying age live in a town slated for destruction in the name of progress. All they need to save their homes and their way of life is a bit of good luck...and a lot of good fortune!
Along the way the children meet a variety of "grown-ups", i.e. adults, some good, some not so.
Same as in real life.
Imagine that!

Now, consider the question: What movie featured an opera singer as a bad guy and a former footballer as a good guy?
Honestly, I never would have guessed the correct answer, had I not read the fun movie facts on the Lucas' silver screen last night!
Robert Davi, trained as an opera singer, really did know how to sing that bit from "Madame Butterfly"! As Jake Fratelli, he was a cultured criminal who liked to mix music with his work. Very funny!
John Matuszak, a former defensive end for the Oakland Raiders, paid homage to his roots with the T-shirt his character wore. And which role did he enliven? The gentle monster-man, Sloth Fratelli, dropped on his head one too many times by his bad mama.
So, now you know!
