jeff goldblum momentarily redeems vanity fair [tidbit]


Vanity Fair is a generally reprehensible publication specializing in all things overpriced and otherwise fatuous, BUT - it does have one worthwhile monthly mini-pictorial feature dubbed "In Character" starring some or other recognizable actor. Last month's, with Jeff Goldblum (http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2009/04/proust-valentino200904), featured an awkward teenage boy, a flirty middle-aged dad and then another awkward (although differently so) teenage boy. Look, kids, acting is fun! 

[ps - take a good look at this picture. Who'd have thought that Jeff Goldblum would have made a suitable casting choice for Todd Haynes' Bob Dylan tribute I'm Not There?]

Also:
Whoopi Goldberg (kudos to the Barbara Walters)
John Malkovich (can you imagine a less likely construction worker?)
John Leguizamo (umm...only one of these three situations is even mildly humorous)
John Goodman (this man has a face like playdoh...who's out there casting for a basketball coach?!)
