Goldblum contains multitudes, but why? What does he mean? Actor, pianist, husband, father, style icon, meme. The guy primarily plays jazz music these days, but is more famous than ever. Whenever it was, you’ve probably noticed that Goldblum has become one of Hollywood’s most enduring actors, someone who only seems to grow more famous, more heralded, more beloved through the decades, even though he’s always followed his own, strange muse. When did you first encounter Jeff Goldblum? Maybe as a deranged killer in his 1974 screen debut in Death Wish? Maybe as a cynical journalist in 1983s The Big Chill? Or a brilliant if egotistical scientist-turned-fly in 1986s The Fly? Perhaps as the wise-cracking skeptical mathematician in 1993s Jurassic Park? Or maybe you’re not a film buff but noticed his face as part of one of the Internet’s earliest memes. ![]() ![]() An irreverent yet deeply researched biography about the always offbeat, suddenly meme-able, and wildly popular actor ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But Katherine questions her aunt’s plans when she gets to know Jonathan Foster, a handsome medical student and strong Christian who is determined to protect the poor and vulnerable in London’s East End. ![]() Her overbearing aunt insists she must secure a proposal from a wealthy young man who is in line to inherit his father’s title and estate.

As much as we love the later additions (like the revert, which is due in a future DLC pack), we were perfectly content with the usual assortment of flip tricks, grabs, grinds, and manuals. ![]() ![]() That’s due in part to the inclusion Pro Skater 2’s manual move to all the Tony Hawk 1 levels, which allows for extremely long combos. But our skepticism proved unwarranted – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater still feels as buttery smooth as it did in 1999. Gameplay mechanics over a decade old often feel, well, old. The 2012 remake contains seven levels from Tony Hawk 1 and 2 in something of a best-of compilation, but Tony Hawk 1 came out 13 years ago and the gameplay has been left almost completely untouched. For that reason, it’s best to approach Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD cautiously. While it can fill you with a nice little fuzzy feeling, too much can lead to fruitless reminiscing. Funny thing about nostalgia, though: it’s a bittersweet fruit. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now he's a powerful, vengeful ghost and he has plans for Jake.
