Also, somehow movies like this are infinitely watchable for me. I can watch The Big Lebowski over and over, in 5 minute bits, or in its entirety, and it really doesn't get old for me. Most movies (not all) do. I think this movie is really stupidly intelligent, or intelligently stupid, and I love that. Very entertaining for me! | ||

The Dude: Dude. The Big Lebowski: Huh? The Dude: Uhh... I don't know sir. The Big Lebowski: Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? Isn't that what makes a man? The Dude: Hmmm... Sure, that and a pair of testicles. It's a nice little philosophical/sociological inquiry on gender. | ||

I have no idea what your fucking problem is. Seriously. The movie is brilliant. Fuck. Go watch LotR again I guess or something. Fucking nerds. Yeah, you fucking nerds. Get the fuck off Team Liquid.net, the home of the TeamLiquid Star League and #1 source for Korean professional e-sports coverage. Why don't you dweeby four eyes go visit www.discoverychannel.com instead of stinking up this place. | ||

On the other hand there is so much worse out there you can't be too critical.. I guess if I had been younger when I watched it, stoned and in company I might have found it hilarious. Wow. Guess you're a retard then. Everything you just described the movie as being is diametrically opposite to what it actually is. Completely original composition although there are some borrowed things in it as all art has, deep in the sense that they are doing tons of little genius things, the story line is brilliant. Go read some more completely straight-forward best-seller bullshit idiot. Or no wait, read a book that makes you feel smart because it is a book that smart people read. Sorry, but you are so absolutely completely wrong about this and to casually dismiss a piece of great art with some superficial analysis is insulting. In general, I think it would be pretty safe to say you don't know shit about movies, and have no sort of artistic sensitivity, learned or innate, with which to appreciate the movie. Or at the very least, accurately identify and express why you did not like it. What I am driving at -- the thing that galls me about your post is that it has a sort of pseudo-authoritative air to it, like you actually know something about, or have an appreciation for, film or fiction in general, which you obviously do not possess. | ||

It's just a really really funny comedy I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like it I laugh throughout the whole thing whenever I watch it. The part with the ashes and where Walter jumps out of the car nearly killed me. | ||

I like that this one has no real formula to it, and no real point. I'm not saying the idea of a kind of "go-nowhere" originates with this movie, but I think it is a great example of how such a thing can come off so well.

It's one of a few movies that doesn't get old to me. To those who watched it once and didn't understand it, I don't know what to say but to try watching it again, you might catch something you didn't in the first. | ||

Did you have to buy a new TV afterward? micro, I think there's many different types of Lebowski fans. Some are total potheads, some are angry douche bags. Personally, I don't think on the whole the story is that great but like Inky said, it's filled with tons of little brilliant segments if you pay attention to them and watch them over and over and over again. | ||

No I was being serious, if you name some movies you did like, and some other movies you disliked, it might become apparent that you just don't like comedies, or that you only like michael bay movies. I just really don't understand how someone can dislike the big lebowski, it's so awesome on so many levels. | ||
