Day 23
Reflections on: Magic(1978)
- On paper this movie should be great: written by William Goldman (who among many other things wrote The Princess Bride (1987)), directed by Richard Attenborough (“Welcome to Jurassic Park”), starring Anthony Hopkins, Ann-Margret, and Burgess Meredith. All these people are great, yet the movie is about a ventriloquist puppet named Fats, thus it is bad.
- The most unbelievable part of the movie is that Anthony Hopkins’ character, Corky, becomes famous with his ventriloquist act and that people think Fats is “cute” and hilarious! What universe does this take place in?!
- Ann-Margret is excellent as a lonely, middle aged former-cheerleader. Of course she plays her younger teen self in a flashback (see above) because she’s Ann-Margret and that is allowed.
- Burgess Meredith is perfect as a high-powered entertainment agent (who is somehow still working at age 80?!) with an endless supply of cigars in his blazer.
- Anthony Hopkins doing cheesy ventriloquist schtick is bizarre to watch! His “Fats” voice is weirdly high pitched and nasal. When Fats is “meddling” the score plays grating harmonica music. GET OUTTA HERE, FATS!
- This mostly takes place at some Catskillls lakeside cabins during the off-season. The costumes are almost entirely cozy knits in autumnal colours. It was worth watching almost just for the clothes!
- A terrible portrayal of… Dissociative Identity Disorder I guess?
- This could have been funny and scary but sadly it’s neither.

My Friend Jeff (The Jeff Goldblum Painting Song)
A weekly sketch by Cheeky Moon. Music by Matt Cornah (Cobley).Several years ago, three friends and I pooled our money to purchase the original oil painting of Ian Malcolm: From Chaos. This loving tribute to Jeff Goldblum was painted by John Larriva for “The JP Show”, brandonbird’s people-only Jurassic Park themed exhibition, and has since gone on to modest internet fame.
The original now lives in Australia, where it’s routinely exchanged between owners (often in a public place) in a tradition affectionately known as #TheGoldblumTransfer.
The number of owners has since expanded to five through marriage and will soon reach six through the miracle of childbirth. There is talk among the soon-to-be parents of taking it into the maternity ward.All in all, purchasing a lavish oil painting of Jeff Goldblum is a life decision we can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.
More Info
You can follow the further adventures of The Goldblum via this tumblr, via fellow owner rivaldojo, or simply by searching for #TheGoldblumTransfer on your social network of choice. It also makes regular cameos on our weekly comedy channel, Cheeky Moon Productions.If you, too, would like a little Goldblum in your life, please support the artist and purchase a high-res print.
