Where was this scene filmed?
Where was the scene,(in the 1985 film Goonies)where they were in the cave with the piarte ship, filmed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingofEV (talk • contribs) 01:57, 8 February 2011 (UTC)


 * There is a huge amount of information online of the locations in Astoria where certain scenes were filmed, but the pirate ship scene is not one of them. IMDB notes that some scenes were filmed on Stages 12, 15, 16 and 28a in the Warner Bros Burbank Studios. I would imagine the cavern was created on one of these soundstages.

The chronology in Zork
Reading the pages about the series, but there's still something I don't get about it. All I know about the continuity and chronology in the series is that Zork Zero takes place before the Zork trilogy. I want to know more about which game takes place when. Could someone be nice and make something like Template:Metroid chronology or Template:Kingdom Hearts chronology in the series page, or somewhere else? And before someone tries to contradict me, yes there is a timeline in the universe. For example, on The open Directory Prject, there are a few pages with lists describing said timeline. However, the lists about the chronology are incomplete and/or unclear. That's why I'm asking about help here, instead. Grey ghost (talk) 09:34, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

EastEnders pays tribute to Coronation Street, but not for the first time
In an episode of EastEnders broadcast in the second week of December 2010, the series paid tribute to its rival Coronation Street by having the character Dot Branning say she was a huge fan of the soap. At the time, the Street was celebrating its 50th anniversary. However, it is not the first time EastEnders has paid tribute to its rival. Coronation Street is referenced in an episode from Christmas Day 1987. My recollection is that Christmas is being celebrated at Pete Beale's flat. Several of the characters are playing charades when Den Watts calls to offer everyone Season's Greetings. He is persuaded to join in and chooses a television programme, which turns out to be Coronatio Street. I have found this which makes reference to it, and as Hilda Ogden left The Street at that time I'm guessing it was by way of tribute to her, but am really not certain. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? It would be interesting to add this fact to the Coronation Street Live (2010) article if there are any references available. I have Googled it, but didn't find a great deal. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:50, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
