#is because the 1970 audience mostly wasn't ready for it

[imp-furiosa]

If I were to venture a guess (and I’m about to), the attempts to standardize and catalogue Goncharov will kill it. Doing that begins to close it off. Trying to say this or that idea is accepted “canon” makes it feel less like a space you can play in and make stuff up. Maybe I’m wrong on that, but it certainly sours me on the thing to see people iterating the same ideas and not spinning so many new scenes and things that just obviously couldn’t all fit into a single film.

And like it may not die as a meme and the big stuff will still get out to a wider audience, but it’s less inviting for new people to come in because rather than just looking at a poster and thinking “what would I want to see in a 1970 gangster flick?” and making something up that fits that, there’s this feeling, this obligation, that you’ve gotta work with the “canon.”

So this is your call to buck the observation that we’ve collectively made a movie that reduced its homoeroticism to subtext. The meme’s like 5 days old. My favorite scene was the car sex scene that woulda fit in the Titanic except it’s Pacino and De Niro steaming up the windows and Scorsese shows Al jerking of Rob until he cums on their fancy suits.

#goncharov #unreality #I'm 100% serious #starting now and for the next week #go back to just the poster #forget all the so called estbalished canon #and make up a super fucking gay movie #and the reason it was universally panned and forgotten #is because the 1970 audience mostly wasn't ready for it #and the gay sex obviously got it a rating that kept it out of theaters #and mostly just refuse to base anything on a canon #nothing has to make sense #even in your own conception of the movie #you can insist that in goncharov the lead dies #and also that he is the only survivor in the end #and these contradictory and impossible takes can coexist #katya can be married #and single #and gay #the best thing about goncharov is possibility #and these posts pointing to resources establishing limits and canon and whatever #ruin that
