Any of you Dudes planning to abide?

[LionJim]

its not a movie that aims to answer life’s mysteries or biograph an important point in history. It’s full of funny scenes and is entertaining.

As the Stranger says in his monologue at the end of the movie:
I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners. Shoot. I sure hope he makes the finals. Well, that about does her, wraps her all up. Things seem to have worked out pretty good for the Dude and Walter, and it was a pretty good story, don't ya think? Made me laugh to beat the band. Parts, anyway. I didn't like seein' Donny go. But then, I happen to know that there's a little Lebowski on the way. I guess that's the way the whole darned human comedy keeps perpetuatin' itself, down through the generations, westward the wagons, across the sands of time until we-- aw, look at me, I'm ramblin' again. Well, I hope you folks enjoyed yourselves. Catch ya later on down the trail.

...Say friend, ya got any more of that good sarsaparilla?

It’s possible to go into this movie expecting too much. In my ranking of the Coen Bros movies, TBL isn’t in my top half-dozen. But it’s a trip. I mean, I’ve watched the ashes scene half a hundred times and each time I’m helpless with laughter.

My top half-dozen Coen Bros:
1. Millers Crossing
2. Fargo
3. Burn After Reading
4. No Country for Old Men
5. Barton Fink
6. True Grit

Lebowski has a lot of funny scenes and some story lines that would make for good 30min sitcom episodes. However, as a movie, it is in desperate need of a rug to bring it all together.

It only gets 4⭐️‘s on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB.

I’ve never seen it before. Why should I watch this?

Obviously you’re not a golfer.

Like you, I had seen a ton of snippets of this movie, but had never watched it all the way through, so I decided last night (after a couple of cocktails) to pour myself a White Russian and watch the whole thing.

I gotta say that, although the movie features an all star case and has a few funny moments, there is no discerible plot, and it dragged on for what seemed like forever. I abstained from turning it off because I had vowed to myself to watch the whole thing.

My conclusion: it reminded me of The Blair Witch Project: a movie with a ton of buzz, but which ultimately turned out to suck ballz. I would have rather watched a You Tube special on Tara Reid's botched boob job. (Tara was one of the actors in this movie, and she got off one of the better lines: "I'll suck your c##k for $1,000."))

No plot!! Omg!!
