...throws his coffee cup at the Dude, it never fails to make me laugh.

I know, that's not right.

"The old man said I could take any rug in the house..."

"Eight year olds, Dude."

is all one needs to say.....I'm cracking up now just thinking about John Turturro in that scene.

"That creep can roll, man."

the preferred nomenclature."

Or "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!"

And "Say what you want about National Socialism dude; at least it's an ethos."

I may be misremembering that last one.

John Milius is a writer/director who graduated the same time as Spielberg and Lucas.



He wrote Dirty Harry, Apocalypse Now, a ton of others, and was almost run out of town for writing the original Red Dawn.''

The documentary was great, check it out if you like that sort of thing. Caution, he is a repuke (sort of) and very non-PC, so there's that.

When I posted it the other day, my favorite line was:
"Dude, the Chinaman is not the issue."

If I were to post it today, my favorite line would be right after Bunny Lenbowski said:
"I'll suck your **** for for $1000"

Dude: (Walking away with Philip Seymour Hoffman, he looks back at Bunny & says)
"I'm going to find an ATM machine"

Besides The Big Lebowski, I especially liked No Country For Old Men...Barton Fink, and Fargo..
I've seen these all at least 25 times.

"What do you need that for Dude?"

You might be surprised how often that line is useful. Or maybe it's just me. Maybe I need to do a little self-examination. Not what I intended when I started this post.

I mean, Ben Gazzarra was Jackie Treehorn AND Brad Wesley! MANY actors go through their entire careers without ONE "defining role."

MAN
Hello Dude, thanks for coming. I'm
Jackie Treehorn.

INSIDE THE BEACH HOUSE

The Dude is looking around at the '60's modern decor.

DUDE
This is quite a pad you got here,
man. Completely unspoiled.

TREEHORN
What's your drink, Dude?

DUDE
White Russian, thanks. How's the
smut business, Jackie?

TREEHORN
I wouldn't know, Dude. I deal in
publishing, entertainment, political
advocacy, and--

DUDE
Which one was Logjammin'?

TREEHORN
Regrettably, it's true, standards
have fallen in adult entertainment.
It's video, Dude. Now that we're
competing with the amateurs, we can't
afford to invest that little extra
in story, production value, feeling.

He taps his forehead with one finger.

TREEHORN
People forget that the brain is the
biggest erogenous zone--

DUDE
[font color="red"]On you, maybe.[/font]



He hands him the drink.

TREEHORN
Of course, you do get the good with
the bad. The new technology permits
us to do exciting things with
interactive erotic software. Wave
of the future, Dude. 100% electronic.

DUDE
Uh-huh. Well, I still jerk off
manually.

TREEHORN
[font color="red"]Of course you do.[/font]

Is this your homework, Larry?

Is this your homework, Larry?

Is this yours?

Is this your homework, Larry?

Dude, we know it's his fucking homework. Where's the money you little brat?

Probably the funniest part of those scenes with Larry is that Larry never says a word the whole time

.... but I take comfort in that ....

It's good knowing he's out there, the Dude, taken'er easy for all us sinners .... "
