If it's clear and yella, you've got juice there, fella!

My girlfriend thinks I'm weird for having Goldblum at the top of my "I'm not gay, but if I were…" list, but just look at that last photo. How the fuck does a 64 year old man look that good?

He's the pull-out king.

I know it's a pretty crucial point to the movie that they're a one-hit wonder band, but Dance With Me Tonight and Little Wild One are great songs.
