is elliott gould supposed to be hot?

i'm watching an episode of saturday night live that he hosted and i honestly can't tell if i'm supposed to be getting hot and bothered or what.

i'd go gay for long goodbye era gould

ok, give him a shave and i can see how other people might be attracted to him.

i wonder how much chest hair he has. i bet it's a lot.

There are a few years in there where he can't be anything but hot.

you know i'd hit it

he looks terrible in this movie but i love it just the same

I never thought I would feel this way about Elliot Gould. I can't believe anyone involved with Mad About You could be super super hot. (er, in kenan's photo)

the answer to this question is no, but he is

or was i guess

In his prime, he was so hot.

agreed. I'm not sure how some is "supposed" to be hot. Is George Clooney an example of "supposed to be hot"?

The French call this "belle laide", or something that is beautiful but not conventionally "beautiful".

Gould is the fresh prince of belle laide

What's the difference between belle laide and jolie laide? (Yes, I know I could go and find out. But I can't be arsed.)

Actually, I don't think there is one. So hey.

Anyway, umm:

Not sure Stephen Mangan has ever been hot.

Never heard of belle laide, I assume it's the same

I have no idea. I got it off the back of a Bazooka Joe comic.

I saw Stephen Mangan last week at the Young Vic bar; he was no Elliot Gould, I'll tell you that.

California Split is so good, velko otm.

I've had that out from Netflix for weeks, I'm not sure why I haven't watched it yet.

Stephen Mangan looks like Elliot Gould run through a car wash & wax too many times. Gould at his hottest has a Bogart kind of anti-handsome going on.

George Segal is totally hot in California Split, too.

otm!

Marge Simpson would approve.

My best friend resembles and has based his life-shtick on Long Goodbye Gould, but he's married, girls.

Just watched that last wk. Grate movie. Segal makes Gould look dumpy in the male-aesthetics dept., but that's mostly b/c Elliot's character is dressing and acting like a proto-Cosmo Kramer of sorts

has based his life-shtick on Long Goodbye Gould

sad

Elliot Gould is annoying which can be hot if you are into that, I guess.

booo

Was George Segal ever a sex symbol? I can't imagine anyone ever swooning over that guy.

Haha except for tokyo ro as I read above. Ouch.

california split is one of my favourite movies of all time... defly top 5

Do you think of George Segal as a sex symbol though?

i just think of him as a symbol.

I'm going to base my real life schtick on George Segal's character from the Hot Rock, but married, girls.

I'm going to base my real life schtick on George Segal's character from the Hot Rock, but married, girls.

George Segal's character in The Hot Rock was married (to the sister of Robert Redford's character).

i'm going to start a band called gould soundz

he makes my flesh crawl. also he can't act for shit.

gould is the ultimate bro

whoa

he was totally hot + he has a v kind face

d-hoff, i can see it. the woodman, not so much.

the woodman's dance card for the era was pretty impressive, perhaps you should rethink that

every time a shlubby jew gets called a sex symbol an angel gets its wings

Elliott Gould is extremely HOT. I never got the Dustin Hoffman thing.

Short people got no reason to live

i am sort of embarrassed about it but i once sort of got how someone might find woody allen hot on a viewing of Annie Hall. it passed quickly, and that's the only woody allen movie i ever had that thought during, but. anyway, i guess the less said about it the better. he's no elliott gould.

it was during his "right, i'm a bigot but for the left" flirty scene with allison porchnik fwiw.

Someday I'll press my friend J. from high school for stories, as he lived in an apartment next door to Gould while his wife did her residency at UCLA med school in the late 90s. All I recall from J. is that Gould was kind and (if I recall correctly) self-effacing.

is stephen jay gould supposed to be hot?

i say yes

Christ, did Newsweek look that tacky into the early eighties?

that decade of restrained, sober design?!

to bingoloa or anybody who understands above remark - since when was E. Gould involved with Mad About You?? I researched that and couldn't find anything of Gould conncected with that show.

and yes Sanpaku - press you're friend J. about anecdotes of his neighborship with Elliot Gould.

Woody Allen was kinda cute in Annie Hall, he even had a little bit of bicep muscle (!)

tennis iirc

anyway i watched the long goodbye again yday, hungover, magnificent as ever

Terry Lennox: Well that's you, Marlowe. You'll never learn, you're a born loser.
Philip Marlowe: Yeah, I even lost my cat.

“The Silent Partner” is something else.

To OP: Elliot Gould has always been hot, what are you talking about

Elliott Gould is brutally hot

Especially in that bullshit movie with Natalie wood

https://www.cinemacats.com/wp-content/uploads/gifs/longgoodbyebed.gif

"Is" may be stretching matters. He's looking pretty good at 85, but the brutal hotness is more a pleasant memory than present reality.

Editor: You get those photos of Elliott Gould and Grover?
Photographer: Sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked.

truly almost nobody is as hot as Elliott Gould

otm

he was super-hot (as was donald sutherland) but his appearances in friends/ocean's x* sullied it slightly

i mean everyone gets old, it's fine, but those characters were too lame

no way

his oceans appareances was king shit. those goliath glasses & the robe looooll
i even enjoyed the friends stuff!
he’s v funny

he was SO hot in the 70s that the leftover goodwill from that is yet to be depleted

Yes he is so absurd and yet also vulnerable in the ocean’s movies. He rules.

are the photos of him and Streisand while they were dating on this thread? Hottest couple ever.

they are now

i can't fathom one of my first thoughts about "what hampered the oceans franchise reboot" being elliott gould. that's grasping at straws territory at that point.

But also:

shhhuuuuuut the front door
i have never seen those omg

Having just seen The Long Goodbye at a one-off screening at the local Alamo I can confirm.

I think the only movieman who has ever been hotter than Elliott Gould is Toshiro Mifune

This is also hot.

There’s a delightful interview with Gould an hour or so into this podcast.

Yes

He comes off as very sweet in Barbra Streisand’s new autobiography, at least so far (I’m up to early 1964; this book is 966 pages long). They were just friends at first and then she says she noticed the back of his neck was sexy.

what a way to be outed as a pegger

lol

peggee surely

short for margaret but long for elliott

i like how the question posed by this thread, read sufficiently literally, could be asking about god's intention when designing elliott gould. "were you trying to make a hot guy? is that what this is supposed to be?" as if gould was an amateur doodler's scribbled attempt at drawing a hot guy
