So what happened to him? Is it old age, the fate that awaits us all? Why has he become such a camp, ineffectual and strangely feline non-entity? Granted, he was funny in Ocean's Eleven for about two minutes.

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.

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."

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?

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.

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.

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)

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.

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

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."

^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.

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.
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.

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.”

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

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.
