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

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)

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?

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
