The Big Lebowski
 

Ok, I loved Fargo, and saw The Big Lebowski in the theater when it came out back in '98 and thought it was alright, but didn't really think it was "all that". Anyway, Entertainment Weekly ran a story about it around a month ago, so I decided to rewatch it tonight. What a great movie! I'm so glad I rewatched it. It was so good. It's SO worth rewatching if you just sorta enjoyed it the first time.

Alright, back to your "would you hit it" threads. Sorry for the break.

The Big Lebowski is one of the few movies I have watched repeatedly - it cracks me up everytime. I mean, I don't know how to adequately express what I want to say...

This about sums it up - "The Big Lebowski (The F*cking Short Version)":

That rug tied the whole room together.

Great clip! It's like around 4:20 around here - but in the A.M., of course when is it not 4:20 here...

So one more short parting clip:



Don't hate - relate! :thumbsup

Redshoe turned me onto that movie. I think I've watched it about 30 times at his house now. Classic movie.

Hey, we got a beverage here!

Definatly one of the best movies ever made!

I was totally cracking up at that line.

Find the recurring line in this clip that has been used quite a bit on GFY over the past two years...

Definitely one of the best random ass movies.

All my kid's friends in high school referred to me as The Dude.

I bought it a few years back.. Be a good one to watch tonight :)

Somehow that doesn't suprise me! :winkwink:

I had a few caucasians this afternoon by the pool.

Baddog does sorta look like the Dude...

Baddog dude, I'm The Dude...you're the Dog - it's in our nicks.

Blond Treehorn Thug: [holding up a bowling ball] What the fuck is this?
The Dude: Obviously you're not a golfer.

I got the HDDVD version of it for $13 a while back. It looks amazing.

Going to watch it this coming weekend!

My favorite comedy of all time

one of the best movies

I saw it some months ago... a great movie!

The Dude abides.

One of Goodman's better roles :)

The Big Lebowski - the biggest crap ever, I watched it the other day for a first time and was thinking of starting a thread here

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, the biggest pile of shit, no, actually calling this movie a pile of shit is a compliment, this is what they call "push demand" - when people are brainwashed over and over again that something is really good they start believing it (Diesel jeans another great example)

the only way to like this movie is if you 4 year old, stoned, drunk, and have one ganja cigarette in your mouth and another one sticking out of your ass!

And they even call it a comedy? That's not a comedy, that's a fucking WMD, you can kill thousands of people with boredom!!!!!

Flawless movie!

I'm like you, liked it when I saw in theatre, watched it over a few times a year later and love it more everytime I watch it now :)

Great flick!

Funny you'd mention it today... I caught a great little bit about "The Dude" on NPR's "All Things Considered" earlier...

Definitely worth the 8 minute listen:

Truly awesome movie

Definitely! :thumbsup

Goodman has a great working relationship with the off-the-wall "Big Lebowski" director brothers, Joel and Ethan Cohen - he also appeared in the Cohen Bros. films "Raising Arizona", "Barton Fink", and "O Brother Where Art Thou".

I've been a fan of John Goodman ever since I saw him in David Byrne's "True Stories".

With the right script, he is a brilliant character actor, good at both comedy and drama, and able to bring pathos to any character he portrays...

It's too easy to find stuff to quote, which make is nearly impossible to narrow it down.

That's why I just pay my homage via my avatar (both here and on our customer board).
