I got about 20 minutes into this movie before I couldn't stand to watch it anymore. I was rooting for the old rich guy in the beginning, though I am told my allegiance would have changed by movie end. The Dude annoyed the hell out of me, though, and I had to stop watching.


I really don't get this. I could watch 2 hours of them just in the bowling alley.

"Who the frick are you, man?"
"I'm a friend of Maudie's..."

Did you think it was overrated like I did the first time I saw it?

And don't get me wrong...it's a good movie. But one of the most overrated ever. And I do admit that part of my thinking for that is how much I had heard about how unbelievably awesome it was before I watched it.

Anytime I hear What Condition My Condition Was In, I subconsciously want to start swinging a bowling ball.

The Dude abides......

"He trashed my car."

That scene where they're riding in the car with no windshield cracks me up.The whole movie cracks me up.

Luckily, I had only heard minor buzz about this film the first time I saw it. I think that was in 98 or 99. I was pretty lost the first time I saw it, but after that first viewing it is really one of my favorites of all time.

The ease of using Lebowski quotes in everyday situations is mind boggling. I sometimes will make random quotes and people I don't even know will chime in with another and we inevitably end up having a fun convo.

The whole scene when the dude meets the videographer and Maude starts talking on the phone and they both start with that laughing--I can't handle it. I always lose my shite. I feel just like the dude does in that scene.

Another great line I say is:
"Papers. My business papers"

Say what you will about the tennants of national socialism, but at least it's an ethos.

Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't fricking ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shite *don't fricking roll*!

You are like a child wandering into a movie. You have no frame of reference. You are out of your element Donnie.

Watch it again. Honestly most people don't get it the first time since they're too wrapped up in the plot. Its one of those films that absolutely requires a rewatch in order to get what is going on. I was the same way when I first watched it, but now its in my top 5 comedies.

Just heard of a drinking game for this. Every time the Dude drinks a White Russian, you drink one and every time he smokes a J, you smoke one

"The story is ludicrous... Lord, you can imagine where it goes from here."

The Dude: Walter, what is the point? Look, we all know who is at fault here, what the frick are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak: Huh? No, what the frick are you... I'm not... We're talking about unchecked aggression here, dude.
Donny: What the frick is he talking about?
The Dude: My rug.
Walter Sobchak: Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!
The Dude: Walter, the chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the frick are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak: What the frick are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
The Dude: Jeez, Walter, I'm not talking about the guys who built the fricking railroad here.
