The Big Lebowski

ComedyCrime

Jeffrey 'The Dude' Lebowski, a Los Angeles slacker who only wants to bowl and drink White Russians, is mistaken for another Jeffrey Lebowski, a wheelchair-bound millionaire, and finds himself dragged into a strange series of events involving nihilists, adult film producers, ferrets, errant toes, and large sums of money.

    The three greatest movies based in the cities I've lived in the longest are The Big Lebowski (Los Angeles), Pig (Portland) and the X-Files movie (Dallas).

    One of the great and underreported tragedies of the 20th century was that the Coens couldn't get Marlon Brando for The Big Lebowski. He would have been so insane in that movie he'd make John Turturro look normal. It would have killed.

    John Milius is 82. Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski was partly based on the Coens' friend, the mercurial & brilliant Milius, thus creating one of the greatest movie characters ever. 'This is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.’

    The one gripe I have with The Big Lebowski is that it makes my well-earned dislike of Eagles feel like an affectation I picked up from a movie, as opposed to something I learned just from listening to their shitty music.

    THE BIG LEBOWSKI: removed from its strange mid 00s cult, it remains one of the smartest movies about film noir conventions and the dream-like qualities of the Detective Novel. Everyone forgets how strange it is. Jeff Bridges has never been hotter.

    I jus thad a conversation with a friend about the film The Big Lebowski and it's connections with the collapse of the American Left in the early 90s. No reasons they should know this but I've noticed recently that all that meaning is striped out of a lot of people's understandings of that film.

    Something younger generations will miss entirely is that The Big Lebowski was a period film. Released in 1998, it was set in 1991, which was an entirely different era, a fuck-ton of history happened in the 90's, man. Just ask, like, any Eastern European.

    A thing I really admired about that film is how it's sort of two wrapped in one. You have a mostly very funny, slapstick stoner comedy alla The Big Lebowski whenever DiCaprio is on screen and then a hard eyed thriller when Infiniti is on. It allows what is ultimately a very serious film to breathe

    Like a quarter century ago The Big Lebowski was notable for having more instances of the word “fuck” than any other movie, and now, a salty episode of The Bear, on basic cable, can basically match it.

    Got on a Coens kick last night and rewatched THE BIG LEBOWSKI, a movie I still enjoy a lot, but unfortunately for me I've seen it so many times that I don't really experience it as a movie anymore, more just a stream of memorized one-liners. Sometimes wish I could neuralize myself and see it fresh.
