the clock scene is overhyped as hell and film bros ignore the importance of the apple scene bc they're afraid of the homoerotic undertones and i WILL die on this hill!

Martin Scorsese when he learns about Goncharov (1973)

i hope that the popularity of goncharov convinces people to watch mikey and nicky, which is a movie about two mobsters who are so close to having gay sex that at one point john cassavetes' character has sex while peter falk's character takes slow drags of his cigarette and watches. clocks and the passage of time are potent motifs. the only friends from childhood they have left are each other. they hold each other close and brawl in the streets and the betrayal at the end is so slow and inevitable it feels like watching a dentist wash their hands and put on their gloves before coming to pull out your teeth. it's literally just like my favorite movie goncharov

This is a significantly better Trek edit of @beelzeebub's Goncharov poster, but I couldn't help myself on this version

Goncharov

Yeah sure. This is a goncharov post now

the “tumblr community invents a whole mafia movie apparently directed by martin scorsese with an official soundtrack, movie posters, screen caps, and all enough to make one question if that movie really did exist at all like a mandela effect” was not part of my 2022 bingo card

are y’all fucking serious right now?? a trailer AND fanfics?? forum threads and meta analysis?? and wtf is up with ebay like WHAT are you selling my dude?? the idea? the joke??

It’s performance art. We are proving that we can, in fact, change the world.

surprised to see a movie like Goncharov getting so popular on the website that found the moral nuance of steven universe to be unmanageable

yeah that's fair

Very interested to see how tumblr’s usual introduction-adulation-cancellation cycle plays out vis-a-vis Goncharov.

Okay, since nobody asked I will explain further.

Typically, a piece of media can only sustain popularity on tumblr for so long before users begin pointing to its flaws as proof positive that it’s morally bankrupt to engage with said piece of media at all.

Watching Goncharov’s upswing in popularity makes me wonder if it’s cracked the code to circumventing this phenomenon entirely. It may be the perfect piece of media for tumblr as its very nonexistence allows it to remain truly flawless and therefore uncancellable. I guess only time will tell.

Not dying a hero or living long enough to become the villain but a secret third, more hilariously stupid, thing.

Goncharov broke containment.
