jeff goldblum again

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Today I was assured by one of my colleagues that "everybody on the floor agrees" that I look like Jeff Goldblum. I get this about once a year. Actually, it was much more common in the early 90's when Goldblum was quite active (and my hair was longer).

Goldblum's been turning up less frequently, of late (which is a pity, because he's actually pretty good) so the comparisons have been tapering off. Tellingly, my colleague Sayama-san told referred to Goldblum as "the actor who uploaded the virus to the alien ship." Meaning, in the unspeakably bad movie Independence Day. I guess everyone's forgotten about the Fly and Jurassic Park?

P.S. Thanks to Satoi-san for pointing out that I'd mis-identified Independence Day as Armageddon. I've no idea how I could have mistaken a scintilating, multiply-award-winning masterpiece with a ludicrous piece of crap... oh right they're both stupendous crap!

Also, Mari reminds me that I'm also told I look like Abe Hiroshi, below.

Meh, I dunno. Here's me, and the boy (courtesy of Mari, my Pentax *istDS, and my favourite lens, my SMC 28mm f/3.5).
