Die hard fan of this movie. Gould’s absurdist take on private eye Philip Marlowe is infinitely rewatchable. You could make a drinking game out of keeping tabs on the number of matches he strikes to pound cigs.
Also I’ve never seen a more realistic representation of a single dude with a cat

maybe my favourite Robert Altman movie - based on a Raymond Chandler book, Elliot Gould plays legendary PI Phillip Marlowe as he lounges around 70s California looking for the answers (and his cat). Impeccable character and plot writing that tastefully unfolds itself at a medium pace. Absolutely must watch for fans of Inherent Vice.

I watched it sometime last week. It’s been eating at me ever since. Elliot Gould walks through a feverishly shot world with a cool that permeates in my head. With dialogue that is messy and mesmerising and characters that walk the line of plausibility and absurdity, Altman's LA is hedonistic dream. Him and Gould make being an out of place loser a lot cooler than it is.

Elliot Gould cussing out the cops drunk as hell on the beach after that fake ass Sean Connery with the leg enhancement surg. drowned himself in the ocean is one of my favorite things in movie history.

Going online used to be an activity you sat down to and then could get up and walk away from. Now it’s some kind of panopticon that we ’re connected to almost 24/7 that requires our constant availability and can demand our attention whenever it wants. We weren’t meant to be this online!!!!
