Barechested Jeff Goldblum?


Can anyone provide any insight into why this shot was included in the movie? I don't get it???😐

reply

Eye candy for the ladies most probably.

WEIRD CANDY FOR WEIRD LADIES!

Did they ever ask any ladies??? I'm a lady and I definitely could've done without it.

reply

But you could have done with it too

reply

Just barely. Sometimes I have to throw up a little in my mouth.🀒

reply

Not into the fellas are ya ? I agree it was out of place

reply

I'm into goodlooking fellas. I've always found Jeff to be rather creepy, especially in that shot. Otherwise I very much enjoyed him in the role.

reply

There’s a few interviews of Jeff explaining that shot. He said he figured the character would be injured/delirious on pain meds, and possibly suffering from some kind of fever, so he decided to unbutton his shirt. And evidently Spielberg never objected.

reply

I get an unbuttoned shirt, but why the weird Greek godlike pose and the camera zooming in? Someone definitely wanted us to think he was sexy! I'm starting to think Spielberg may be a little gay for some of his actors...πŸ€”

reply

methinks the lady doth protest too much

reply

LOL true. Lady, enough! No Jeff Goldblum for you!

Sorry for that guy Enrique.

JK aside, Ian Malcolm in the first Jurassic Park was kind of a saucy, flirtatious guy. So he has that flamboyant aura, if you will, in any condition he is in. That's how the character feels overall, in my humble opinion.

reply

Like I said above, I enjoyed his character, I actually wish he had more scenes. But that shot was just so weird, especially when I saw it on the big screen a few years back. I just have to cringe and laugh at the same time.

reply

You're not into dudes, i get it. But this is Jeff Goldblum! Even a rock would split in half lol

reply

I'm totally into dudes! What are you people going on about???

reply

That's good to know. So, how you doin'? :)

reply

That depends. Show me what's under your shirt first.😊

reply

LOL, uhm, this wasn't expected, see, uh, this is chaos theory.

reply

You're right. He shouldn't have unbuttoned his shirt, but unzipped his pants as well!πŸ˜‹

reply

Without it we’d never have the absurdity of this moment:

My eyes!!!😡

Because you touch yourself at night.

reply

Sure, but not to the image of Jeff Goldblum and certainly not if he's barechested.

reply

What do you picture then?

reply

Well, you, obviously...tied to a chair with a ball gag on and forced to watch St. Elmo's Fire on an infinite loop while I stand behind you using my whip every time you appear to fall asleep.

reply

Well i've lost my boner.

reply

Liquid....you're talking to a guy. It's pretty obvious. So go cool down.
