JP's a good dude for all intensive porpoises. He just needs to watch the movie a few more times to get it.
Strong men also cry, sir. Strong men also cry.

Gonna be hard to keep JPL down on the farm now that he's seen Karl Hungus.

I finally watched it.
I swear I'm not trying to troll or anything but holy crap....I do not get how this film has become cult favorite. I guess it's supposed to be a comedy, but the only time I cracked a smile was when Donny's ashes blew back on Jeff Bridges...and even that scene you could see a mile coming.
This effort by the Coen Brothers is weak imho....just a bunch of eccentric characters in a lame and unoriginal kidnapping storyline. I imagine that had I seen it when it came out in 98 when I was much younger, "maybe" I would have thought it was entertaining....but to watch it now, it's just barely entertaining and only good for one the one watch...and hardly that. I really wanted to like it....while I didn't hate it, I could have easily done without seeing it.

You gotta watch it 3 times to even get close to understand whats going on in that film. Give it 2 more spins.
All of the quotes like this are dumb as shite and don't give the movie credit...
It was hilarious the first time I saw it

I think what that quote really means is regardless of how funny it is on the first go round, subsequent viewings get funnier.

Wait, I thought that was Lebowski, the old man, man.
Posted on 3/5/14 at 1:42 pm to The Sad Banana
It was Lebowski. Brant's mannerisms in that scene were perfect though. So over the top solemn.
Posted on 3/5/14 at 1:45 pm to Peazey
Your right I had it mixed up. For some reason I thought Brant was consoling Lebowski.
But now I remember Lebowski was being the typical dickbag that he was justifying that he was crying and still strong.
God I love this movie so much

It becomes like a fine wine, only better with age and multiple viewings. I had the same reaction, but gave it a chance a year or two after initial viewing again, and now it's one of my favorites.
Maybe that'll be the case here.
eta: I just went to lunch with a buddy of mine that like all of you, thinks it's one of the greatest movies ever and can't figure out how I didn't love it. He also agreed that's it's probably a multiple watch movie to fully appreciate it.

Other than the "You're killing your father, Larry" scene, the first time I watched it I didn't laugh that much. It's one of those movies you have to watch over and over and it gets more hilarious each time.

You forgot to ridicule me in your post for not thinking it's hilarious. It's ok if you want to edit.

The Dude: Yeah, and five fricking 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 fricking dog. Going to her fricking synagogue. You're living in the fricking past.
Walter Sobchak: Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax...You're goddamn right I'm living in the fricking past!
