I want to be Elliott Gould (when he wasn't crap)

I join the Gouldlove.

(xp)

*clicks out of ilx and hunts through giant untidy video pile*

It's not that he was bad, not at all (it does look like I meant that, doesn't it?) It's just ... well geez, this is Elliott Gould! Doing the drunken father-in-law thing? I felt bad for him.

Although not as bad as when he saw Chandler naked, I guess.

ts gould vs bogie vs mitchum

she's terrifying in "dead ringers"

Who else here was completely obsessed with that traumatic episode of Who's the Boss? when Tony saw Angela naked and it was edited all weird?

Wow, I remember the episode -- hallmark of my childhood, without a doubt -- but I don't remember the editing. I'm not sure I've seen it since the show was still on (like, not in syndication).

would certainly make flirting confusing.

yeah for a while I'd just look blankly at people and then point to a bowl of soup

i love elliot gould. the long goodbye is fucking great

is the building that marlowe and the hippie lesbians live in famous?

roger wade is a veritable fount of pompous bullshit, but then he's a bad writer and a drunk, and that's what they're like (actually i've never met one)

otherwise the only bit of really spare business is the cat stuff at the start — which i like — and the malibu gatekeeper who does moviestar impressions — which i also like

the best parts of "Long Goodbye" for me are the multiple versions of the title tune, sung and performed in every manner imaginable (toward the end, by a mariachi band!). again, a facile thing--it isn't funny the second time, but it's awesome the first time.

Best actor ever! Hands down!

I think I agree with you!

Gould, being who he is, would applaud and forgive my change of mind!

How many times and in just how many theatres did you see it Ned?

If this is debatable, please do not let me know.

My best friend's look and style so recalls EG in Long Goodbye that I occasionally call him MARLBORO!

>the loungy guy who plays terry lennox

Former Yankee pitcher (and author of Ball Four) Jim Bouton.

THERE'S GOULD IN THEM THERE HILLS!

GOULDFINGER!

AND IT WAS THIS:

He even makes Donald Sutherland (a pretty decent actor, but no icon)

Sutherland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO good.

"... you'd have to marry Barbra Streisand tho - and, ask yourself this, do you really wanna do that? "

YESSS!!!!!

That Max Devlin thing looks awful, though.

i like the comparison but it doesn't quite work on account of gould's massive jewishness and the mac's massive goyishness. close tho

Movie veteran ELLIOTT GOULD has designed a new line of Nike bags under his real name, Elliot Goldstein.
The M*A*S*H star has been wearing Nike products for years - and now the sportswear giants have decide to honour his commitment by giving him his very own bag line.
And the thrilled star, who turns 70 this summer (Aug08) decided to use the name he was born with for the honour.
He says, "Sometimes Nike will give some of their products to me. I don't endorse them, there's no business and they just asked me if I wanted to design a bag.
"The bag I designed is the Elliot Goldstein 38 - the year I was born. It's just a shlepping bag. It's a bag to carry my gym stuff in."
But Gould admits his new bag is far from perfect: "One of the zippers broke right away. It's a one of a kind bag just like me."

Just Do It.

OMG i want that so bad

It's just a shlepping bag

^^ crazy interview, plus he looks like dennis farina

I brought two pictures with me to New York; one is Letters from Iwo Jima and the other is A Hole in the Head, Richard Ledes’s first picture. So, you know, I need to stay within focus and stay within the frame and just be sensible about all this. But I don’t have any plans. I have a plan to replace my fucking hips. I spoke with Jack Nicholson and told him I didn’t want to see The Bucket List. I’m not a big fan of Rob Reiner. I respect Rob Reiner to some degree but, you know, Rob Reiner, whatever. I just didn’t want to see The Bucket List, it seemed so formulaic to me.

I mean, some of this is awesome and all, but...is he.. senile?

not wanting to see Bucket List is common good sense

It takes some guts to program Harry & Walter Go to New York!

that's it

i'm coming down for california split

oh shit, long goodbye q&a?????

ha, I MISSED THAT!

for Little Murders too!

LM is the one w/ the Onion "afterparty"

i kind of shudder at that

anyway, this is as good excuse as any for a long-delayed nyc trip... if im not broke as a joke by then

so I just shrug and move about life, kinda like a less sexy Eliot Gould.

very excited about this.

i bet you are!

we should have an EG party if i can come

i'm going to have to plan august weekends away around this, esp. if you're going to be coming down.

haha, xpost

what would be a good EG food to eat? besides cat food

lucky charms (or is it trix)? a la california split?

I think it was Lucky Charms.

we should have an EG party if i can come

required: turtlenecks and mutton chops

btw I would recommend advance ticket purchase for the Q&As, even tho BAM will almost certainly have this in the big upstairs theater (maybe 500 seats?) as opposed to the one that usually shows the Cinematek fare.

oh, definitely. those are going to draw big crowds, i assume.

i love elliot gould in the silent partner.

I used to work for Mark Rydell's sister, so I'd like to ask Gould if he was as big a dick as she thought he was.

who's seen Getting Straight or Busting? I haven't, or the Bergman film.

lol at one Harry & Walter show at 9:15.

so jealous of new yorkers right now

do we need to make plans for BAM?

still seriously considering htis.

busting is the one i'm most interested in, i think..

yeah, esp as it's not on disc...

More likely to go to the Little Murders of the Q&As as I've seen TLG at Film Forum last year.

wish I could be there for that. I've seen that film five or six times but never in a room full of other people.

i have only seen the long goodbye out of all of these :x

I know my dad used to watch his doctor sitcom.

who's goin Friday?

ok i scrolled through this fairly quickly but why has nobody mentioned just excrutiatingly how bad he is in 'friends'?

common courtesy?

arghhhhhhh i would fucken love to be there this wknd for this.

anyone wanna fly me down?????? and then back again for california split?

out of town when he's doing the Q+As :(

I want to do him

not sure he'd be into that though

some of us have never seen "Friends."

He was good in Friends in the bit where he loses his glasses and drives through a neighbourhood nativity scene. "The newspapers thought it was a hate crime."

I'm assuming nothing from his last 20 years has topped Bugsy

anyone wanna fly me down?????? and then back again for california split?

In exchange for TIFF credentials? (j/k)

what should I ask EG about Godard quitting Little Murders?

tonight's q&a is sold out, he's doing 2 for Long Goodbye.

so who went? how was?

he's pretty nutty.

the best thing he said was roughly this:

When I went to kindergarten at PS 247 here in Brooklyn, the teacher told my mother that I had some kind of intellience because I was the only kid in my class who knew that he definitely did not know the difference between the right side and the left side of my body.

intelligence, rather

He's philosophical, I'd say. Worked in 2 Streisand allusions w/out saying her name.

When walking in midtown NY w/ Godard while trying to secure him to direct Little Murders, Elliott told JLG that if he was going to produce LM with him directing, Godard had to show up "seasonally" to deal with the US suits. Godard replied that whenever his wife and child asked for his love, he told them to go fuck themselves. Gould: "Well, Idon't think I'm there yet, Jean-Luc..."

He also said he played basketball in boxing shoes cuz he didn't know the difference.

when asked about the differences between Altman and Bergman:
"Robert Altman knew who Dave DeBusschere and Bergman didn't."

haha

"Robert Altman knew who Dave DeBusschere was and Bergman didn't."

fuck, i need coffee

I love how for the first half hour of the Long Goodbye you can't understand a single word Gould is saying, it's just one long grumble.

"Hey, man, that's cool."

It's OK with him

i watched little murders after reading about it in this thread,christ it was strange!

really enjoyed it overall,parts of it were hilarious,although it did sometimes veer a bit too close to a monty python sketch

I had forgotten about the satiric arias (Lou Jacobi as the judge, Sutherland as stoner minister, Arkin as bananas detective, Gardenia on police statism).

When Gould said that prior to his 7-minute one-take monologue he smoked a joint, one on-cue "WHOOO" from audience. There's always one.

Gould: "Well, I don't think I'm there yet, Jean-Luc..."

ha!

Godard directing this would have almost been too much. Keep remembering the Q&A you guys. Someday I'm going to watch the commentary on the DVD.

http://blog.spout.com/2008/08/09/elliott-gould-takes-brooklyn/

Getting Straight tonight.

so I did not detest The Touch at all. A good brief review:

http://www.cinepassion.org/Reviews/t/Touch.html

check out Little Murders, 1971. the best Gould movie ever

watched this last night - pretty good, dragged in a few places and suffers from its roots on the stage, but lots of good performances and one or two really funny monologues. Eeriest thing to me was that everybody in it really LOOKS like a Jules Feiffer drawing (ie, great casting)

(but no way is it the best Gould movie ever! wtf)

apparently he was in the first London On the Town in 1963

The al davis version of the long goodbye poster rules. I ordered one to frame for my bedroom.

ya it is amazing.

amazing ya

ya

amazing.

Busting is a very strange movie - lolz @ Gould and Berretta dancing together while attempting to pass as gay in a gay bar

totally reactionary politics, a young Michael Lerner, many MANY shades of brown...

y'know, Gould's doing his laconic-NY Jewish-smartass routine, Beretta is the hardass - but they're VICE cops, so its not like they're taking down murderous drug dealers or something, they spend most of their time trying to entrap expensive prostitutes and beat up hapless homos while simultaneously bucking the corrupt "brass". the tone is really strange.

B.J. Novak from the Office reminds me of a young Elliot Gould.

And I love the Long Goodbye because it seemed like there were a couple of pointless and languid scenes w/ Gould's character running errands of no importance. More movies need to show their character buying cat food in the middle of the night imo.

^^^ haha yes. love the muzak version of the theme playing in the grocery store

anyone catch the nod to that in wendy and lucy

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3008/2983000060_93a6c600af_o.jpg

watched some more of Busting last night - so weird/goofy. Beretta and Gould spend an inordinate amount of time in a public bathroom trying to "catch a pervert", except it all seems kinda gay... I mean two guys standing in a stall talking to each other, ummm.... then there's the part where they can't get a warrant from a judge because its the middle of the night, so they go to the suspect's house break-in, find some armed hoods, and proceed to chase them into a crowded open-air market. So Gould and Beretta are exchanging gunfire, telling the bystanders to get down and everything but... its like 4 in the morning, why are there all these people at the grocery store? Then Gould lambasts some fellow cops who fail to help by calling them "pigs"!

so wtf

also this movie is very brown

And I love the Long Goodbye because it seemed like there were a couple of pointless and languid scenes w/ Gould's character running errands of no importance. More movies need to show their character buying cat food in the middle of the night imo.

By far my favorite scene in Bullitt is the part where McQueen goes and buys all the TV dinners at the supermarket/convenience store.

Couldn't someone change the title of this forum? when i did a google search for 'the Long Goodbye' this thread came up, I think it's a shame especially since Elliott Gould was never 'crap'- some of his films have been clunkers but who hasn't had those.

no

Corrected: Elliot Gould was never always 'crap'

Godard replied that whenever his wife and child asked for his love, he told them to go fuck themselves

lol

SB alex

Alex replied that whenever his wife and child SB'd him, he told them to go fuck themselves.

i heard he just sb'd them back

watched the silent partner, it's ok. elliot is kinda a blank slate in it, even moreso than usual. christoper plummer is solid and creepy

When not working, Gould spends much of his time studying the Torah. He is a favourite student of some of Los Angeles' most eminent rabbis and a friend of Chabad and the Lubavitchers. "I'm an unorthodox Jew in the way I live but I have a deeply felt reverence for the ultra-Orthodox," he says.

So what does it mean to him to be a Jew?

"I just accept it. My trips to Israel remind me that there you're free to be a Jew and it's great to be free to be a Jew. I like to be free to be what I am. I find that in this world there's very little that I can depend on. There's almost nothing. But I really appreciate - and not to be pretentious - the law, the Torah."

Thanks buzza for posting that link, Elliott is what it means to be a Jew, compassionate, educated, i love that he truly loves Israel.

I know my dad used to watch his doctor sitcom.

^this. the originalE/R. I used to watch with my mom when I was a young kid (ie some time in the late 80s) like, on WGN, or something. First encounter with Elliott Gould, who seemed awesome back then. Had little to no inkling that he was in some great 70s movies then.

Also had little to no inkling that he was in Little Murders, a movie I've been wanting to check out since Dave Sim credited it as the inspiration for the finale of Church and State.

(hope I didn't trivialize your revive, bobo)

hey bobo, i found this article which covers some of the same ground. gould seems like such a great guy.

http://www.midnighteast.com/mag/?p=1697

Anyone ever seen Move, one of his 4 movies in 1970? He's doing a Q&A at "Jew Wave" when they show California Split:

http://www.filmlinc.com/films/series/hollywoods-jew-wave

Hollywood’s “Jew Wave” forever changed the landscape of mainstream American movies and blazed the trail for such Jewish stars of today as James Franco, Natalie Portman, Seth Rogen, and Adam Sandler.

this makes me sad

only thing(s) i remember from Move are Paula Prentiss' boobs

a couple years old, covers some familiar terrain, lots of stuff about The Long Goodbye:

http://thehollywoodinterview.blogspot.com/2009/05/long-goodbye-elliott-gould-remembers.html

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1byABFXyao

holy shit I had no idea Bujold was in Noah's Ark.

He is playing "the gushy, gay neighbor" on the new Fox sitcom Mulaney.

Elliott, George Segal and California Split screenwriter Joseph Walsh yakking nostalgically about all sortsa things with Kim Morgan:

EG: [Working on MASH] sometimes Bob would get flustered. We were fighting the clock and he has got to do it a certain way by a certain time otherwise you go into golden hours. And I remember the scene in MASH — and it was actually around that scene that Sylvester Stallone, who I’ve only met a couple of times, said he doesn’t admit that he was ever an extra in any movie but he admits that he was an extra in MASH. And when I told that to Bob he said, “No. I don’t accept that Sylvester Stallone was in my movie. I don’t accept it.”

[Everyone laughs]

EG: So that day we have a really complicated, delicate crane shot and we’re fighting time for lunch. And, you know, it’s all the surgeons are working triple shifts and we’re talking non sequiturs and there was the script and then we go to lunch. We were at the Fox Ranch out in Malibu, and Bob said to me, “Why can’t you be like someone else?” And I had my lunch on a tray. And he pointed to Corey Fischer, you know, and said, “Why can’t you be like him?” Who was a part of The Committee, an improvisational group that Altman hired. And I shook my lunch, I threw it up and I said, “You motherfucker. I’m not gonna stick my neck out for you again. You know and I know where I come from. I know precision, I know repetition. You’ll tell me what you want and that’s what you’ll get.” And he said, “I think I’ve made a mistake.” I said, “I think so.” He said, “I apologize.” I said, “I accept.” And that’s when Paul Lewis the production manager for Getting Straight came out to meet with me for the movie which was my next picture. And Tarantino said it’s a part of his library. He’s got Getting Straight there.

KM: Yes, he loves that movie.

GS: What had Ingmar seen you in that got his attention?

EG: He had studied … but Getting Straight. He said, when he saw Getting Straight.

GS: I’ll be damned.

JW: Oh, so that’s how Ingmar Bergman came about?

EG: Yeah, also I was really hot. So, you know, I mean …

KM: What was it in Getting Straight that he responded to so much?

EG: He said it was a scene in Getting Straight — there was something where my character was in such a rage. There was just a rage in me. It would almost be like me facing the Tea Party right now, you know. There was just a rage and an insult and Ingmar said to me, “You showed great restraint in that scene.”

JW: Taking an American actor, that was a big deal at the time.

EG: Oh God, yeah, everybody in the universe was up for it. [For The Touch] I almost didn’t do it. I said, but how can I say no. You know, let’s see if I can …

KM: You almost said no? To Bergman?

EG: Well, here’s the deal. I was making a living for my family for the first time. And you know, and I didn’t understand anything. We had Begelman and them but they were in it for what they could get out of it. I didn’t know. I didn’t understand myself. I didn’t know anything about meaning. You know, if I could do something for my family but even then you get to the family. You’re more educated formally than the rest of us, George? Dartmouth, right?

GS: Columbia.

EG: Columbia? I met somebody who was at Dartmouth. I have his card. I like to get it clear.

JW: I’ve got a few dollars on Columbia.

GS: Oh right, yeah.

[Everyone laughs]

EG: So that sort of worked out. But it was tough. Oh yeah, making a living. I don’t know how I’m gonna act with the best actors in the world with Bergman. I mean, Bergman didn’t write scripts like we do with indication of direction; it’s like a novella. I thought, oh my God, I can’t expose my ignorance to that, but I can’t say no. So they had him call me in the West Village. [Does Bergman voice] “Hellloooooo. Little Broooootherssssss.”

JW: What did he say?

EG: [Bergman voice] Liiitttttlle Brottttthhhherrrrrr.

JW: Little Brother?

EG: Little brother. He called me that. And so my hair stood up. And I thought, oh, I can trust me with him and him with me. It’s like I talk to a dog or a baby. And so I came. And, whoa, that was really interesting.

http://lareviewofbooks.org/interview/california-split-40-years-later-interview-elliott-gould-george-segal-joseph-walsh-three-parts

Thanks for the share. It's neat that Gould mentions being in Irma la Douce on Broadway. Somewhere I've got a souvenir program (not a Playbill) from the original run with a couple of photos of him in the chorus.

huh I've never seen Getting Straight

Watched a couple of years ago--didn't like it at all. The film-within-a-film in The Exorcist is almost like a parody of Getting Straight and The Strawberry Statement and other campus films of the era.

GS is complete on YouTube as of two days ago

oh man, that interview is so good. next time i'm in LA i'm going to go to canter's in hopes of running into Elliott Gould.

I know it's the ace deli in Hollywood, was thinking bout it last time

my biggest celeb encounter there was rodney bingenheimer, which is pretty small potatoes, I think

Barely potatoes at all

:( I would love to meet Rodney

feel like he was everywhere i went for a while in the late 90s.

part two! (more Walsh and Segal in this one)

http://lareviewofbooks.org/interview/california-split-40-years-later-interview-elliott-gould-george-segal-joseph-walsh-three-parts-2

Peckinpah said, Elliott. You do read between the lines, don’t you? And I said, Sam, I live between the lines.

"You know that Steffi Graf has quite a tush. I'm just saying it's right there!"

Old Jews Scoping Tush

is The Touch even available? I could barely stand 10 mins of The Serpent's Egg.

It's available to those of us in cinephile cities when programmers schedule it every 5-10 years. Don't take away my last reason for living here.

(there's a $99 VHS on Amazon, go to it)

The hell's your problem the last 24 hours? Did you get holly in your Cream of Wheat?

I HATE CHRISTMETRIUS

fortunately cheap rent is also something NYC's got an abundance of

hahaha what decade

either a very bad joke or you dont know anyone who barely lives here

that joke is still funny. Why, some of my best friends live on the Upper East Side.

thx for mentioning The Serpent's Egg -- now i realize there are TWO Bergman stars in The Long Goodbye's jail cell scene.

part three!

KM: The improvisation continues through the entire film … with the elephant.

EG: Oh sure …

JW: When Elliott rubs the trunk. That was a continuation of what you guys created. Yeah, I wrote almost all the scenes in the movie including all the interior scenes. But the one scene that happens to be my favorite scene in the move, the seven dwarves, I didn’t write it! I said in Telluride, that one scene was my favorite scene, and I didn’t write it!

EG: Yeah, but it’s so the spirit of your script … I remember when Joey first went out to California and a few of us, didn’t we chip in a few dollars to help you get out?

JW: Yeah, I think you did.

EG: And then I got a letter from Joey saying, “It’s really tough out here. It’s really tough to get work. I’ll tell you how tough it is: it’s so tough out here that Bambi is having to do The Yearling.”

I want that on a T-shirt

Well thats what i made it for

Outstanding

a+

would buy

get the shirt mill going for Christmas, i know a college freshman who wd buy

the impetus for this was an offhand comment my wife made about wanting an Elliott Gould t-shirt so I was like sure that's easy and did up the design, but now I'm thinking maybe I should make a bunch. although I have no idea how to do that.

(I don't have a silkscreen print press or anything)

is that cafepress thing still around?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CbduUCvUEAAVRYG.jpg:large

u sellin these homie?

it was so nice to see him in Ray Donovan. and he was awesome in it too.

I'm thinkin about it, maybe make a small limited run but I haven't worked it out yet. this was just the first one.

xp

I would buy the shit our of one

two

I guess I'm torn between figuring out how to fulfill individual orders one at a time vs. printing a bunch in various sizes and just hoping people buy them and I don't lose money

cool shirt!

A thought: You could accept "pre-orders" for a specified period of time, then once you know what you're committed to delivering print them in batches. That way you could economize on the more popular sizes by ordering in bulk.

I'm going to make at least one more for a friend, but all I did was buy a shirt (duh) and take my design to this place on Haight St that does custom shirt printing, which cost like $30. So that plus the cost of the shirt would be somewhere around $40 per, and who's going to pay $40 + shipping for a t-shirt? That seems crazy, but maybe idk the market here.

xp

well let's see if this works

http://www.zazzle.com/shakeyshirts/products

No shirts on sale!

does this work? this website is fucking garbage

http://www.zazzle.com/elliott_gould_tee_shirt-235817597516456131

I'd get one, but with postage and exchange, I'd be up around the budget for Whiffs. Looks great, though.

rented this yesterday, haven't watched yet

dunno what yr spoiler sensitivity is re: the premise, so if there's any don't click, but this is one of my favorite thread titles/OPs: his head is a silver egg

lol

I just watched The Long Goodbye the other day. EG is the best.

OK wait I just saw the Solid Gould shirt. WANT.

I was never able to get my stupid Zazzle profile to work but I can send you the artwork file if you want (I just took it to the local t-shirt print shop)

really? :D Ooh I might even get it on a tote bag or something. It's great.

sure webmail me

looks like the Zazzle thing does work now? idk let me know if anybody orders (or tries to order) one!

I was about to but the color I want is all sold out.

Who? was not v good, unfortunately. Wacky robotman premise aside there's just tons of repetitive exposition, w Gould doing his best to be a suspicious FBI hardass, but the plot is generally inert.

never knew about this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Glimpse_of_Tiger#Film

god, i love stories like this

Warner Bros. reworked the film, changed the lead from a male to a female, cast Barbra Streisand ironically Gould's ex-wife and Ryan O'Neal and it became What's Up, Doc? Said director Peter Bogdanovich, "The only thing we took from “A Glimpse of Tiger”—and I don’t remember it very well—was the idea that the leading character had been to a lot of different colleges. He or she is very well-educated in a lot of different areas. And we put that into Barbra’s character."

WOW.

really, that connection is tenuous at best

i mean WUD? is clearly more of an adaptation of Hawks screwball comedies

have never seen Busting and i can't afford/make this; it's on amaz0n tho

also Peter Hyams makes me wary

http://metrograph.com/film/film/2456/busting

It is interesting, sorta, but the politics of it are super-gross

Gould, Robert Blake and Allen Garfield might be the schlubbiest cast I've ever heard of.

In a one-to-one swap of Blake for Ned Beatty, Nashville wins that round.

the cast is great, but the premise (virtuous vice cops busting junkies, prostitutes, hippies etc.) is very reactionary/wtf

“Harry And Walter...” is a real folly but I enjoyed it. Exquisite production design, great cast and I belly laughed a few times so it gets love. Gould and Caan are fun together and on their own.

Elliot Gould is on cameo and that makes me sad.

Oh wow that *is* sad. Ass-backwards time we’re living in.

gould is a legend and v hottt

i feel like this last point is under appreciated

Not by me!
