Oh you poor thing… do you want to blog about icepick Joe? You used to love blogging about icepick Joe…

Y'all!! It's the painting from the Cafe scene in Goncharov (1973)! It's the one you can see over Goncharov's shoulder when Ice Pick Joe is wrapping up leftovers for the cats. I found it in an antique shop the other day, and at first I couldn't figure out why it was so familiar.

On the one hand it sucks that the artist is unknown, but on the other hand it's so fitting to have the shot dominated by the work of an anonymous artist when Goncharov is caught up in the peculiar realization that he knows very little about Joe as a person. That flash of Joe's characterization beautifully underlines the fact that we know so little about Goncharov's inner life that it's easy to wonder if there's anything there to know. I'm so curious if that was a deliberate choice or if it was just a bit of serendipitous set-dressing.

WAIT IS THE REASON ICE PICK JOE KEEPS OFFERING SARDINES TO PEOPLE IS BC HIS ONLY REAL FRIENDS ARE HIS CATS SO THAT'S HOW HE'S USED TO SHOWING AFFECTION BC THAT'S SO SWEET BUT ALSO SO SAD

I don't belive Icepick Joe dies in Goncharov. It's very clear that he's home taking care of his cats (witness the bandaged hand petting them. Clearly not the neighbor he's friends with.).

You just can't kill a guy like that.

But I also think there were plans to make a smaller budget prequel or sequel. The "Crime Wives" 'zine from 86 dug up some amazing staff storied.

I notice most people seem think Ice Pick Joe got his name because he likes to kill people with an icepick and not because he was given an icepick lobotomy at the age of 9.

Patchka Lives

Since this seems to be a trend now where we all explain what our favorite Goncharov moments are, I feel I have to bring up the fact that even with everyone in this movie who dies, and there is a lot, from Goncharov himself to Sister Theodora, despite all of this carnage and death, Patchka is alive and well and living with Sofia and Katya at the end, playing with a ball of string that one of them bought her as a little kitty Christmas present. My heart just explodes every time I watch the sapphic cut of the movie. This cat has seen terrible things, has been a party to acts of suffering and misery but now, like her new owners, she can retire from that life.

It does make me wonder about the rumor that in the director’s cut this might just be the last fantasy of Sofia as she dies but thankfully I will never have to know for certain because Scorsese is so insistant that none of his films have director’s cuts, even the ones that obviously do.
