Huh?
My mom doesn't let me watch TV, she says it will rot your brain.

The whole propping the door shut with the chair and a 2X4 thing was hilarious!

Jesus may be the funniest character ever created!
Cohen brothers rock.
The movie is full of classic lines:
"Hey, mind if I do a J?"
After reading the ransom note: "Bummer"
"Look, let me explain something. I'm not Mr. Lebowski; you're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. That, or Duder. His Dudeness. Or El Duderino, if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing."
"Saturday is shabbas. Jewish day of rest. Means I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't ****ing ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as **** don't ****ing roll!"

Good flick...
I've applied much of the Dude's philosophy to my
own life...and enjoyed things a whole lot
more ever since...
definitely in the top 5 of greatest pieces of american cinema in my book...
Walter Sobchak: You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.
The Dude: Yeah, but Walter--
Walter Sobchak: Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon--with nail polish.
Walter Sobchak: I'm saying, I see what you're getting at, Dude, he kept the money. My point is, here we are, it's shabbas, the sabbath, which I'm allowed to break only if it's a matter of life or death--
The Dude: Will you come off it, Walter? You're not even ****ing Jewish, man.
Walter Sobchak: What the **** are you talkin' about?
The Dude: Man, you're ****ing Polish Catholic--
Walter Sobchak: What the **** are you talking about? I converted when I married Cynthia! Come on, Dude!
The Dude: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah--
Walter Sobchak: And you know this!
The Dude: Yeah, and five ****ing years ago you were divorced.
Walter Sobchak: So what are you saying? When you get divorced you turn in your library card? You get a new license? You stop being Jewish?
The Dude: It's all a part of your sick Cynthia thing, man. Taking care of her ****ing dog. Going to her ****ing synagogue. You're living in the ****ing past.
Walter Sobchak: Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax-- YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I'M LIVING IN THE ****ING PAST!
my friend is obsessed w/ this movie...i think its kinda gay..alright though
bustin the apex goove daily
The movie was good but not worthy of hero-worship, in my book. Poor Steve Buscemi.
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
FIGHT CLUB IS UNBELIEVABLY BETTER THAN ANY MOVIE IN EXISTENCE.
What would you liked to have done before you died?
Funny thing is, while I was on the east coast, I never believed that In -n- Out was a real restaurant. I thought it was a spoof. Suffice it to say when I moved to California I was in for a shock.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine...Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been....
havent seen it, but the DVD is @ my pad
Ever since I watched that movie, I always bring a long cleaning cloth with me when I go to bowling alleys.
does in -n- out food taste good? i have never heard of it either
hahah anyone remember hot -n- now? 25 cent burgers all the time!
If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank. --W.A.

thumbs down on fight club here
has he seen it? what do you thing? of COURSE he has seen it...and i think it is an awesome movie...definitely way better than TBL, imo.

The big lebowski is lame. Its an excuse to watch a girl jump up and down naked on a trampoline. At least in fight club they have a purpose.

Ummmmm.... I'll have to get back to you on that....
What would you liked to have done before you died?
here's the thing...
i noticed this while watching the royal tennenbaums...and my 2 friends and i were the only ones laughing, some people need to be spoonfed...see rushmore and TBL for more proof.
and don't get into the "fight club is so deep..." argument, because the 'depth' is a shoddy bite on buddhism and existentialism...i enjoyed fight club, i won't lie, but it didn't do anything for me.
Not only are different movies for different people, but those two movies were completely different in every aspect of their nature. So don't even try to argue which one is better. You may have prefered one movie over the other, but you can't really say which is a "better movie." They both had their pros and cons. The Big Lebowski is not just a black comedy about some crazy bowling addicts and Fight Club was not simply a commentary on Buddhism and Existentialism. They may not be the deepest movies out there, but they may be much more than you think.
The Big Lebowski is one of my favorite movies!
Walter: OVER THE LINE!
Smokey: Huh?
Walter: I'm sorry, Smokey. You were over the line, that's a foul.
Smokey: Bullpoop. Mark it 8, Dude.
Walter: Uh, excuse me. Mark it zero. Next frame.
Smokey: Bullpoop, Walter. Mark it 8, Dude.
Walter: Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.
A priest, a paladin and Varimathras walk into a bar...
one of my largest regrets in life was waiting until after college to finally see this movie. i thank slutzy for helping me finally see the light. wonderful movie.
and i'll concur with aglio on rushmore and royal tannenbaums. both outstanding flicks!
blurt blurt blurt
wow, now youre saying im stupid because i dont like the big lebowski and think fight club is better? oh yeah, i saw royal tenenbaums too. thought it was funny. i managed to laugh here and there when i could delve deep into the buddhism and existentialism and nihilism and christ like figures.
What would you liked to have done before you died?
ummm, i never said you were stupid...i do think that it's pretty stupid to infer something like that. and if you read on, i said that i like fight club, it just didn't do anything for me...sheesh.Originally posted by zcloydster

it's funny how you use my words in an irrelevant sense to try to poke fun at me as well. your assignment, watch the royal tennenbaums and write me a paper on the existentialism, buddhism and nihilism portrayed in the film. gonna be a short paper my friend.
if you're gonna use my words to rip on me, atleast do it in a way that makes sense.
Yeah, I remember Hot -n- Now. They were the best in my opinion. As far as price was concerned. We used to buy a whole bag, box, whatever of hamburgers and cheese burgers for a few dollars and chow down. It's a shame they went out, but it was obvious they were going to. Never seen the big lebowski. Well, maybe 5 minutes. The scene where the guy bashes up the corvette. I laughed, and cried... lol. I think I will rent it now that you reminded me about it. Thanksdoes in -n- out food taste good? i have never heard of it either hahah anyone remember hot -n- now? 25 cent burgers all the time!

its pretty stupid to think i meant it when i said it was stupid that you were stupid
What would you liked to have done before you died?
gene hackman is the christlike figure. the wilson who plays tennis (owen?) is the nihilist. his brother is the existentialist. and that funny little indian guy is the buddhist (probably could be his religion.) A+.

muahahahahahahahahahaha
i'm done with this conversation
hinduism (the predominant religion in india) != buddhism
neuroticism != existentialism
depression/incestuous thoughts != nihilism
and i ain't even touching the christ/hackman reference
this is stupid...
Jeez, it's a movie. Take it for what it is. There is nothing to be gained or lost by discussing your different approches to understanding the movie. The Coen's didn't write TBL to be picked apart.
