Jeff Goldblum is so underappreciated. He carries every scene he is in with his quirkiness.

I was re-watching Jurassic Park and this thought dawned on me:

He has almost ALL the iconic lines and He steals every scene he is in

Then I starting realizing he had a similar impact in Independence Day and stood toe to toe with Will Smith back when Will Smith was actually Will Smith.

He steals every scene in these movies:
The Life Aquatic
Thor: Ragnarok
GOTG 2
The Fly
Earth Girls are Easy
Silverado


To Jeff Goldblum

Is he?

Outside of his supporting roles in some Wes Anderson movies, his filmography looks completely irrelevant since 1997.

I disagree. Every role is just Jeff Goldblum playing the same character (himself, basically) complete with the same timing and same mannerisms.

I agree. But what does that have to do with him stealing every scene he is in (in an already great movie which kinda proves my point)

At most, he's a bit player in "Silverado" and hardly stole any scenes in it.

His best work in my opinion was the remake of "The Fly", other than that, I think he's just "MEH" at best in most roles.

Like already mentioned, he's Jeff Goldblum in every part he plays. He's certainly no Christian Bale who becomes that character and immerses himself in the role.

So, straight to insults. Figures for a guy who adores Jeff Goldblum.

You seem upset. Does this happen to you?

Not a fan. He is annoying to me. I haven’t watched some movies because he acted in them.

I remember enjoying his portrayal of the a-hole in Igby Goes Down, starring a younger Culkin brother. Haven’t seen it a decade or so, so not sure it holds up.

Jeff Goldblum sings about Sensuality.

Youtube

Nick Lutsko's channel rocks...a little strange though. His Alex Jones, Trump, Elan Musk, Pizza gate, and Kanye songs are fantastic / hilarious / sometimes genius.
