Sloth Loves Chunk

What’s better than staying home to watch that worn-down VHS copy of The Goonies that you’ve owned since you were in short pants? Why, watching it with a mess of strangers in the open air, of course. All month, the Pilgrim Center, a group dedicated to improving the Westport community, has been showing free movies at 7:30 p.m. at Gillham Park (38th Street and Gillham Road), along with live music and a fun activity related to the feature. Tonight, the flick is the 1985 kiddie action classic starring Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Martha Plimpton and Joe Pantoliano (Ralphie from The Sopranos). But before Chunk starts doing the truffle shuffle and Data breaks out his “pinchers of power,” KC’s own Wild Women treat the audience to some hot jazz action. And in keeping with the theme of kids hunting for One-Eyed Willy’s pirate booty, the Pilgrim Center has organized a treasure hunt for the youngsters. See pilgrimcenterinc.org for more information.
