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)

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.”

skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 20 November 2015 12:48 (eight years ago) link

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.

Οὖτις, Friday, 20 November 2015 18:26 (eight years ago) link

(I don't have a silkscreen print press or anything)

Οὖτις, Friday, 20 November 2015 18:27 (eight years ago) link

scott seward, Thursday, 18 February 2016 17:16 (eight years ago) link

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.

Οὖτις, Thursday, 18 February 2016 17:20 (eight years ago) link

I would buy the shit our of one

SCROTUS (stevie), Friday, 19 February 2016 13:23 (eight years ago) link

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

Οὖτις, Friday, 19 February 2016 16:29 (eight years ago) link

cool shirt!

μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 19 February 2016 19:07 (eight years ago) link

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.

a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Friday, 19 February 2016 19:19 (eight years ago) link

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.

Οὖτις, Monday, 7 March 2016 21:16 (eight years ago) link

I'd get one, but with postage and exchange, I'd be up around the budget for Whiffs. Looks great, though.

I just watched The Long Goodbye the other day. EG is the best.

OK wait I just saw the Solid Gould shirt. WANT.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 9 January 2017 18:46 (seven years ago) link

I was never able to get my stupid Zazzle profile to work but I can send you the artwork file if you want (I just took it to the local t-shirt print shop)

Οὖτις, Monday, 9 January 2017 18:56 (seven years ago) link

really? :D Ooh I might even get it on a tote bag or something. It's great.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 9 January 2017 18:59 (seven years ago) link

Οὖτις, Monday, 9 January 2017 19:00 (seven years ago) link

The beaver is not the bad guy (El Tomboto), Monday, 9 January 2017 20:08 (seven years ago) link

Who? was not v good, unfortunately. Wacky robotman premise aside there's just tons of repetitive exposition, w Gould doing his best to be a suspicious FBI hardass, but the plot is generally inert.

god, i love stories like this

"Taste's very strange!" (stevie), Tuesday, 12 December 2017 21:30 (six years ago) link

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.
