LTTP[?]: Scorsese's "Goncharov" (1973)

[Spring-Loaded]

This movie has been blowing up recently. A quintessential Scorsese mafia movie.
Anyone else seen this?

 

[NinjaScooter]

No because it's not real?

 

[Spring-Loaded]

What do you mean? What do you mean items 'not real?'

 

[Teenage Fansub]

Is this some dumb ARG?

 

[NinjaScooter]

That's a picture of DeNiro from godfather part 2 🤔

 

[Leona Lewis]

Greatest mafia movie ever made?

Can't argue with NetBoots, I guess.

Is this Millennial humor or Gen Z humor that I'm not finding funny?

I was guessing you had to follow the numbers in the name and the symbols somewhere.

Is it worth trying to get the joke?

Tumblr humor

Cybill Shepard not getting an oscar for this one was criminal imo

 

[fontguy]

iirc the busboy was played by a young david duchovny. i wanna say it was his first film.

 

[PirateHearts]

This was one of the first things I watched after Netflix switched from discs to streaming back in the day. It was fine I guess.

Nobody talks about Hackman's character but he carries it

It was fun watching it evolve on tumblr but it's such a tumble joke, in the way that like "thanks for the gold kind stranger" is to Reddit that I'm not sure if it's worth trying to dig into at this stage hah.

I suppose it really depends on how much the concept gets you initially. This sort of ridiculous shit is 100% my brand of dumb internet thing so I'm a bit biased.

yes

but get this...it's complete fiction, all of it.

 

[lazybones18]

Well, it's not as bad as the unfunny Morbius jokes but it's still dumb

 

[Kuro]

I still have my betamax copy. I still can't believe that talking monkey was well received by The Academy.

This is like 2014 era Tumblr humor that somehow surfaced in 2022. And 2014 Tumblr humor is like the missing link between millennial and gen z humor as the platform's main demographic at the time spanned between young millennial and old gen z, so both really.

 

[BRsomebody]

Literally every person I know has been posting this incessantly on Tumblr I thought I was safe here

 

[duckroll]

This thread makes me feel very old and sad. :/

Damn kids.

 

[makonero]

Did anyone ever see the direct-to-vhs sequel from the 90s? Goncharov Unloaded I think it was called? Starred Anthony Clark from Yes, Dear?

 

[SteveWinwood]

this will never be funny

 

[Sabretooth]

FYI Goncharov came out in 1973 OP

 

[eXistor]

Did people actually fall for this *very funny* meme?

 

[AlgusUnderdunk]

I heard it was adapted from a work by Vladimir Nabokov.

 

[collige]

 

[Fevaweva]

The thing is that it doesnt even stylistically make sense to be a Scorsese film from the 70s.

 

[Persephone]

always makes me sweat when a tumblr meme breaches containment to Era. also the meme isn't funny. some of the fanart is cool I guess

Amazing. The meme has been redeemed by Disco Elysium of all things.

 

[Small Red Boy]

I thought of making a thread my self after its renaissance! It's a great movie, love the boat scene.


The meme is funny on tumblr because is nice to see all ppl play along, but it is funny here because it wouldn't work AND because we get to see a lot of ppl complaining about jokes.

 

[supkid]

I have the shoes

 

[Funkybee]

I dont understand this thread's replies..
Is this movie worth the time? Did not know its existence.

 

[TheLastOfPizzaCrUSt]

Looks like a Rockstar game cover from the 360 era

[meowdi gras]

Can't help wondering what the author of Oblomov has to do with any of this? 🤔

The Fake Scorsese Film You Haven’t Seen. Or Have You?

Tumblr is obsessed with the mafia film “Goncharov.” The problem is it isn’t real.

www.nytimes.com

Tumblr cinephiles have a new favorite movie this week. It's decades old, so maybe you've already seen it. It is called "Goncharov" and stars Robert DeNiro in the titular role as a Russian hit man and former discothèque owner. It takes place in Naples, Italy. Cybill Shepherd plays his wife, Katya, and rounding out the cast are Al Pacino, Gene Hackman and Harvey Keitel.

The 1973 film, billed as "Martin Scorsese presents," has everything: murder, a love triangle, homoerotic undertones, a striking original score and a dramatic final scene that film buffs have been debating for years.

There's only one other thing to know about "Goncharov." It does not exist.

Click to shrink...

This film was made up by a Gen Z tumblr user, and it's now taken the internet by storm. Linda Carter and a few other older celebrities are making jokes about having gone to the film's "premiere".

The concept is really well done, it feels like it would be right at home during the New Hollywood movement of the 1970s, which is when film directors like Martin Scorsese, Sam Peckinpah, Francis Ford Coppola, Sidney Lumet, and John Schleisinger found their success. I'd certainly watch it!

Produced by Martin Scorsese / Directed by Matteo JWHJ 0715

Cast:
Robert De Niro
Harvey Keitel
Al Pacino
Gene Hackman
Cybill Shepherd
John Cazale
