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

It certainly didn't harm Elliott's career

elliott gould was NEVER crap.

I think I agree with you!

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

Can I be Elliott Gould now??? PLEASE!

Saw that one in the theaters. Ah, memories.

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

Elliott Gould was pretty embarassing in The Big Hit. Or at least embarassed.

btw, if you haven't seen The Big Hit, see it now. loopy.

Just sell your soul to Bill Cosby and you can be!

Elliott Gould plays the same slightly bemused, slightly offended, somewhat laconic dude in every goddamn picture ever. He may be miscast in roles, he may pick shitty scripts from time to time, he may be distracting, but it's impossible to say he's crap, because you either have to discount everything he's ever done or say that he's great in everything.

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

(no one tell girolamo that it's very debatable)

This thread keeps reminding me of that Simpsons where the teenaged Barney is told "I wouldn't go to the prom with you if you were ELLIOTT GOULD!"

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 20:11 (nineteen years ago) link

I saw Gould outside Roseland a few years ago, looking very confused in the midst of a pre-concert Hole crowd.

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

I was TOTALLY WRONG about something on this thread!!!!!

AND IT WAS THIS:

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

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

How good is LITTLE MURDERS??? (thanks milton)

SO good.

I can't stand Donald Sutherland or Elliot Gould, but at least Sutherland was in a good film or too (and Kiefer was in Freeway and uh nothing else, but YEAH Freeway.) What a crappy pair of actors.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 22:30 (eighteen years ago) link

sutherland = hotchie motchie. they just don't make em like that anymore.

― jody l'anti-vierge (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 22:32 (eighteen years ago) link

sutherland can either be icky or TOTALLY HOTTT

I like Gould. And I even, once, liked Cosby.

That Max Devlin thing looks awful, though.

Question: Was Elliot Gould used on the sample on a DJ Shadow song?
If so, do you know what it was a sample from?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 23 June 2005 08:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Gould made the most of his teeny role in "Bugsy."

The Goulden Age by J. Hoberman

Gould recently tried to turn [Sid] Caesar on to Sacha Baron Cohen, but the older man couldn't deal with Cohen's vulgarity. Gould rhapsodizes over the Marx Brothers—"If Duck Soup were made today it would be recognized as an improvisational masterpiece"—and recalls his friendship with the elderly Groucho. Once "when I was in my long-hair-and-overalls period, I changed a lightbulb over Groucho's bed. He said, 'That's the best acting I've ever seen you do.' " Asked if he sees himself in any younger stars, he answers "Adam Sandler" without pause.

Could one make a case for Gould as the seventies' Robert Mitchum?

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd like to hear it! :o

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:35 (seventeen years ago) link

cuz they both played latter-day philip marlowe?

― s1ocki, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link

no, that wd make them both the '70s Mitchum. I know Bob smoked a little weed, but c'mon.

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Look at his eyes. Mitchum smoked a LOTTA weed.

― Oilyrags, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Laconic, self-effacing, indifferent to niceties like "good' and "bad" scripts, only nominated once for an Oscar, underrated, re-discovered icon.

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
