Easily one of the best celebrity puff pieces ever. I'm not a Goldblum superfan or anything, but he's always at least good in stuff, even Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

his Portlandia cameos are the stuff of comedy-acting legend in any right-thinking canon

More to the point, a slow-building tide of stories about Goldblum -- I've noticed scattershot comments over the past couple of years -- is reaching a crescendo; a slew of threads and comments today from a variety of figures. Roxane Gay shared a second hand note a couple of weeks ago, and Nicole Cliffe's thread a few weeks back is worth noting:
oh boy did I come home to a lot of emails from women w J*ff Goldblum stories— Nicole Cliffe (@Nicole_Cliffe) October 16, 2019
Along with her follow-up thread today:
The Woody Allen thing sucks, but I want to make sure you know that it is NOT what brought JG on my radar, that was two *very* emotional women last time I was in Los Angeles, followed by a lot of private correspondence when I mentioned it publicly.— Nicole Cliffe (@Nicole_Cliffe) November 7, 2019

I don't understand the Jeff Goldblum *thing*. Like, he was good in The Fly, he was funny in The Tall Guy, he was a diversion in Jurassic Park (in that he kept you from realizing what a piece of shit you were watching until it was over), he was competent in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (a very good movie that he did nothing to fuck up)...but this idea that there's something innately cool, or funny, or smart, or sexy about him? It's fucking baffling.

i like him in stuff and i know lots of people who find him sexy.

I don't understand the Jeff Goldblum *thing*.
He's essentially a comedic actor with a relatively small bag of acting tricks, but with good timing and delivery. As a 'dramatic' actor, he has a nice, light touch, but he is not in his proper element. His characters, no matter how central to the plot, are always throwaways or lightweights. He'd make a very amusing Hamlet, but the story would cease to be a tragedy, because he'd be much too shallow to be tragic. He'd be an impossibly bad King Lear.

He is a great dramatic actor in the Fly imo

He‘s got the sophisticated bachelor thing down, but a lot of it codes as creepy and slyly lecherous. He’s fun to watch, but I don’t get the “sexy” aspect. Unless schmoozey swinger is your type.

The Big Chill was a bad movie. Not because it was about boomers, but because it was a shallow mediocrity with a good cast and high production values.

i get why he has a cult, he has a strange fey presence that nicely ironizes poses like the centerfold shot in JP. i think it should be weaponized for villains more but i think that about everybody.
