RE: “Jeff Goldblum’s Psychosexual Power” [Film, June 22], Megan Burbank’s erotic contribution to last week’s film section—a section that, for one beautiful week, was devoted entirely to the life and works of Jeff Goldblum.

Yes. And I appreciate the commitment of the Mercury film section to Jeff Goldblum. (I might have also had a thing for Rick Moranis.)

What a delight to see the back half of this week’s Mercury transform into a Jeff Goldblum lovefest. I too have made it through all these years with generous helpings of the ‘Blum. But I was sad to see his most amazing work omitted from your critique: [The 1980 TV series] Tenspeed and Brown Shoe. Not only did Goldblum do voiceover in his inimitable style, his character was a nerdy accountant who knew karate and dreamed of being a private dick. Awesome! Oh, and Ben Vereen was in it too.
