His answers are like jazz piano, it never starts where it should, goes real weird then modulates to something even weirder then resolves in a satisfying way, even if you land far away from where you thought you would be.

That’s an oxymoron.

[@leolindberg]

It's funny how Stephen asks seriously "Do the pants know that they will be thrown out?", like an adult trying to make a connection with a child as if they have the same amount of imagination, and like an unimpressed child Jeff says "Wtf they don't, know they're pants" XD

[@NoUploadJustComment]

The look on Stephen's face when he almost went with the peanut butter on apples phrase was hilarious.

[@TheMulToyVerse]

I would 100% watch a Jeff Goldblum decluttering show. Not a hoarders-type show as it would be 3 seasons long for 1 home, but a decluttering show for sure I hope they film that remote for LSSC… that would be an amazing treat. I think I’ll ask for that for Christmas I’m also convinced that Jeff actually has almost no clothes of his own and that most of his wardrobe is designer loaners Jeff is the Hollywood version of the large great Craig Sager. I still remember Kevin Garnet verbally dismantling his suit on air 🤣

[@jeffgoldblum5201]

Hey! Thanks for your comments... But feel free to let me know the areas you think I'm not playing the character so well. I'm open to criticism

[@serendipityshopnyc]

Jeff Goldblum has the most creative answers for sure, especially to the sandwich and fruit questions.

[@user-ms3jz7ub7n]

Who thought Jeff should have received an Oscar for The Fly? Or at least a nomination. His slow transformation from man to monster was terrifying and brilliant.

[@flowersfromh-evanlakshmi7577]

Wow I can’t believe he didn’t receive an Oscar or nomination I assumed he did until I read your comment.

[@helenl3193]

Yeah, he was robbed. Definitely should've been nominated, but the academy always looks down on certain genres - horror, sci-fi/fantasy, non-white/non-English language films, and comic movies for example. Maybe the only way to fix that would be to add genre categories, but just imagine how much longer the ceremony would be then! Personally I'd prefer it to lose the perceived relevance it had both in pop culture and in the industry. It's always been a deeply flawed endeavour, designed to pat themselves on the back and help market the films and the stars and directors, rather than an accurate marker of excellence in the field - it doesn't even acknowledge huge groups of professionals in the industry, even now!

[@christophermerlot3366]

@@helenl3193 For the most part I agree with you. It bothers me that the only thing resembling a horror movie to ever win Best Picture was a mediocrity in Silence of the Lambs. As for non-English films, that's called Best Foreign Picture which covers non-English language made outside of the USA.
