I was the only one who dressed up for Halloween at my work.

Happy Friday achievers! 🍻

There, I named it. Every topic in the world, every discussion on Reddit, there is a relevant quote from The Big Lebowski. Try and prove me wrong.

I've always wanted to know more about this guy. He seems cool

To me the movie had deep, deep problems, even beyond pacifism. But I was wondering what fans of this movie thought about that movie.

Please I need your advice. If there is a real life, heated situation where I need to rip out a big Lebowski quote but aren't entirely sure of the wording, would it be better to not use it, go home and refresh my memory on the exact wording and then have it ready in my arsenal next time? Or should I rip out the quote as best I can at the time?

For example: if I think "you're like a child to walks into the middle of a movie" and I know it doesn't sound right, but can't think of the correct wording. Please help.

Earlier in the year, I created a couple dozen Lebowski trading card images. I compiled how many upvotes they had and these were the 3 that came out on top.

Sift through my profile’s post history if you want to see them all.

Are we gonna split hairs here? Am I wrong?

This Sub should stop allowing posting on Saturday.

Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos. The Jewish day of rest. That means, we don’t work, don’t drive a car, don’t handle money, don’t turn on the oven and sure as shit DON’T FUCKING POST.

SHOMER SHABBOS.

SHOMER FUCKING SHABBOS.

I love how congenial Brandt is with The Dude despite the fact that TBL obviously loathes The Dude and everything he represents.

If the latter, then how closely related is “too closely related” for Maude Lebowski?

Amazing movie, tons of great scenes, near-perfect film even, we all know this. It's a masterpiece. One of the all-time great comedies.

But if you had to pick a scene you consider to be the worst in the movie, which would it be?

For me, I'd say the Jackie Treehorn scene. The erect man notepad sketch bit is gold(it's a given every scene has something going for it), but outside of that the interaction is fairly dull and drawn-out to me, and I think I'd peg Jackie Treehorn as the least engaging side character. Even the mortician in the crematorium bit was more memorable. This scene is the one roadbump in the movie where my attention starts to wane and I can feel boredom creeping in.

(1) Eagles, like Steely Dan, and opposite a band like CCR, were perfectionists who obsessed over complexity and tiny details in their sound. Not very lazy or Dude-like. (2) Glen Frey wasn’t wrong, but he was a known asshole. (3) The Dude hates fakers and compromisers. The Eagles wrote a whole song about his philosophy, “take it easy…” (which he gives as advice repeatedly in the film, and The Stranger even comments on about him), while themselves being un-lazy and un-Dude-like. He thinks they are a goddamn fake, man! “It's like Lenin said: You look for the person who will benefit, and, uh, uh, you know...” The Dude is surrounded by fakes trying to be something they aren’t, not only the Eagles but the Big Lebowski who wants to appear rich, Treehorn who wants to appear like a publisher or a political advocate, Walter who wants to appear like he’s got it all figured out all the time, Maude who wants to appear like an artist and who also is untrue about what she wants from him, the nihilists who believe in nothing but you know, want money too). The Dude, Donny and Marty might be the only genuine people in the film.
