Needs More Goldblum: The Big Chill

Jeff Goldblum plays a tall, awkward Jew (L'chaim!). He is a journalist, a real journalist for People, whose average article length correlates to the length of time it takes to take a crap. He is supposed to be on flight to write about a blind baton twirler, but he postpones it to stay the weekend. But what he really wants to do is open a club. Fuck that shit. He's going to go back to his novel.

Back in college, when everyone was still idealistic (like the friends' plan to buy all that land) was to "go to Harlem and teach those ghetto kids." I guess this is like his girlfriend Annie who still sustains those ideals. But we never see her. Are they still together. He tries unendlessly to fuck around on her. He's after Chloe, Alex's girlfriend, before dead friend Alex (suicide) is even cold in the ground. Of course, his ethos seems to be "everyone does everything just to get laid." So it would appear he's still true to his ideals. Plus we see him unpack a shitload of condoms from his luggage.
