the fleetwood mac of actors?

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

second only to warren oates in my book

Christine McVey

"i wouldn't go out with YOU if you were elliott gould!"

mac's massive goyishness

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."

^^ 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?
