He's waking up to white russians, drinks beer in the car, and is smoking all day long. Could you imagine going through this when you're [censored] up the entire time? That is what makes it so funny to me. |

Re: Official Big Lebowski Thread
I love this movie but I still like Raising Arizona a little bit better. Both definitely reward you for repeat veiwings. The one thing about it I didn't really like was the dream sequence. It felt kinda stupid and cheesy to me. But it has some of the best lines ever and great, quotable lines are one of my favoritie things about movies.
I read somewhere that the reason Jeff Bridges wasn't nominated for this role was because he was "too" perfect for it. |

Re: Official Big Lebowski Thread
The Academy skews old and very conservative. A movie about a slacker drunk/druggy is so far out of their demographic ...

[ QUOTE ] The amazing thing to me is that many, many of the bizarre incidents in the movie actually took place in real life. [/ QUOTE ] No it's not. The Dude is based on a real person the Coen Bros. know, but the plot is completely fictional. wiki on TBL [/ QUOTE ] Read the book, seriously. Many of the events in the movie are based on real events, including two middle-aged guys going to a teenager's house with his homework in a baggie to "brace" him about a stolen car. The book's authors INTERVIEWED the kid, and the two guys who braced him. Also based in reality -- Walter is an amalgamation of 3 guys, one of whom being a professor at Southern Cal who compares everything to Vietnam. |

Yeah, but the Big Lebowski is the only comedy movie I've ever seen where it actually gets BETTER every time you see it. Almost any comedy gets less funny because you know what's coming - the Big Lebowski throws so much at you that it's almost comedic overload the first time. [/ QUOTE ] i should have been more clear, this is really what i was getting at. however, there are plenty of movies of various genres that i enjoyed the first time, but am unable to watch a second time/multiple times. |
