15 Problems Only Film Fans In 2016 Would Understand
2. Jeff Goldblum Made You Buy An Independence Day: Resurgence Ticket
If you're honest with yourself, there's probably one reason you bought a ticket to see Independence Day: Resurgence, and that's Mr. Jeff Goldblum.
The legendary star has become something of an Internet meme in recent years, and the marketing for the movie played up to that, milking those eccentric Goldblum one-liners for everything they're worth ("They like to get the landmarks!").
The film turned out to be thoroughly mediocre, but it didn't matter, because they played-up the Goldblum-ness to get your butt in a cinema seat on opening weekend. The movie wasn't a major hit, but largely thanks to the Goldblum factor, it probably did well enough to get a sequel.
