File under FWIW:
As I recall, the tagline for the X-Files was: The Truth Is Out There...

I don't recall who in the movie (if anyone) uttered that line, but I do recall the ads.

A similar movie line that I have always enjoyed was in "The Empire Strikes Back" when Luke Skywalker boasts to Yoda that he is not afraid, and Yoda replies in his distinctive voice: "You will be. You will be!"

Just can't let all of this talk about The Fly pass without mentioning the original with Vincent Price...a real classic! 'Course, they didn't have the special effects then, but still...

...confusing millions of audience members worldwide, who were expecting him to say, "Be you will. Be you will!"

...thus ingniting the catch phrase, "Yoda, yoda, yoda..."

Have not seen him in anything lately, WW, - not since Jurassic Park or Independence Day - but he is starring in a TV movie next Wednesday on NBC. Believe it's called War Stories. Here's your chance to get a Goldblum update.

set me straight if you disagree. With where he's come to be. Sounds like the beginning of a song to me: Set me stra-a-aight if you disagree; with whe-e-e-re he's come to be... (Hey, I didn't say it was a GOOD song!:-)

Has anyone seen him in anything very recently in which he seemed to have developed?

Check out "Igby Goes Down", particularly if you enjoy black humour. Goldblum, Sarandon, and a McCulkin(!) are all joys to watch.
