I was inspired after watching Heroes to watch The Fly. Yes, the Fly with Jeff Goldblum from the 80’s. The reason is that the Mohinder character from Heroes is a direct replica of Jeff Goldblum’s character in The Fly, Seth Brundle.

The Fly actually holds up quite well since it was made as you watch Jeff rocking the David Copperfield hairdo…well…until he turns into a fly. I hope that is not a spoiler given the name of the movie is The Fly. This was actually one of my favourite movies growing up because it’s just great sci-fi. The first scene of the movie has Seth saying into the camera, “What I’m working on is something that will change the world.” Then he turns into a fly…over the next 90 minutes or so. As my lovely wife had not had the pleasure of watching this movie, I thought it would be a great opportunity to watch her reaction to some of the sci-fi gore in the movie and sure enough…there were some great scenes that made her say, “ZOMG WTF”. Yeah…totally worthwhile if your female partner has not watched this movie.
