What was said about them, by kind

career (3)

  1. career (career context): Jeff Goldblum → Independence Day. Goldblum had two of the ten biggest movies ever at the time and became an unconventional bankable leading man.
    “He's in 2 of the 10 biggest movies of all time at that moment.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Lost World: Jurassic Park · 0:19:17 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)
  2. career (career): Jeff Goldblum → Death Wish. Goldblum in Death Wish: can't see Jeff Goldblum the same way.
    “Any movie that I've never seen Jeff Goldblum the same.”
    The Rewatchables · A CR Month Mailbag! · 0:46:48 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)
  3. career (career): Jeff Goldblum → Benicio del Toro. Goldblum has said he wants to do more with del Toro in a future Avengers film because their characters are brothers.
    “Because they're brothers.”

craft (2)

  1. craft (craft): Jeff Goldblum → The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The Lost World shows why that second-lead model fails when he becomes the lead.
    “And that's why Lost World is not a great idea.”
    Blank Check — Patreon · Guardians of the Galaxy · 1:22:33 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)
  2. craft (craft): Jeff Goldblum → Independence Day. Independence Day divides plot and character responsibility well in a way similar to the Han Solo ensemble model.
    “they were like, Independence Day kind of has that too.”

people (1)

  1. people (people): Jeff Goldblum → Geena Davis. Goldblum's first wife appears in the opening credits and he later ended up with Geena Davis.
    “who he then broke up with and ended up with Gina Davis.”

theme (4)

  1. theme (character reinvention): Jeff Goldblum → Jurassic Park. Goldblum asked to play the scientist as a cool, cocky rock star rather than a nerd, and his performance saved the character from dying as in the book.
    “Can I be the rock star sign?”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Lost World: Jurassic Park · 0:18:26 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)
  2. theme (side-character problem): Jeff Goldblum → Pirates of the Caribbean sequels. Promoting the funny sideline guy to lead fails, as with Johnny Depp in the Pirates sequels, because the commentator cannot also carry the plot.
    “the same thing that happened with the fucking Pirates of the Caribbean sequels.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Lost World: Jurassic Park · 1:13:37 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)
  3. theme (side-character problem): Jeff Goldblum → Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. A host compares the sideline commentator role to Han Solo, who needs to stay off the main plot to earn his payoff.
    “He needs to be the Han Solo yet.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Lost World: Jurassic Park · 1:13:48 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)
  4. theme (theme): Jeff Goldblum → Jurassic Park. The Han Solo model of a handsome second lead who never takes full charge also fits Goldblum in Jurassic Park.
    “Yeah, I think that Goldblum and Jurassic Park is like an underrated version of that.”
    Blank Check — Patreon · Guardians of the Galaxy · 1:22:19 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)

what-if (2)

  1. what-if (what-if): Kevin Kline → Jeff Goldblum. Kline wanted Goldblum's funnier part but was pushed to the other.
    “Kevin Klein wanted Goldbloom's part because he thought it was a funnier role, but they pushed him too.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Big Chill’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 1:23:36 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)
  2. what-if (casting what-if): Jeff Goldblum → Anthony Hopkins. Van suggests Goldblum, a co-star of Pullman in Independence Day, as an offbeat rich guy.
    “I think Jeff Goldblum could have pulled this off in like in a weird, quirky sort of the rich.”
