48. Well, with that snow dump heading in our direction and nothing
on VPR but Xmas music {sic}, I think I'll watch TBL this afternoon. Far worse ways to spend the afternoon. Do join me all.

Jeff Bridges is a national treasure. He's not a brilliant actor, but he always, always gives the audience value for money and he can do any role. Like The Dude he abides.

33. It is quite possibly the smartest, most well-written movie ever made.
I'm not joking. It's like reading a well-written novel except you get to watch it as a movie. The way the script references itself works so well. For example, Walter--a gung-ho war vet--rather ironically takes the Dude to task for calling an Asian-American a "Chinaman." (Right in the middle of a diabtribe, to boot). Several scenes later, the "Big Lebowski" explains the loss of his legs as follows: "Some Chinaman blew them off in Korea!"

That's just smart writing. The Coen brothers were geniuses in that movie. Although "No Country for Old Men" was well done, "Fargo" and "The Big Lebowski" are by far their greatest achievements.

37. Most anything the Coen brothers have put out is gold.
O Brother is one that just gets more enjoyable everytime you watch it. Loved Blood Simple and Raising Arizona as well. The rest aren't quite as high up on my personal list, but still great movies to watch.

I still think TBL and Fargo take the cake, however. Those are probably interchangable as my all time favorite #1 and #2 movies.

56. saw Jimmie Dale Gilmore in concert not long after it was released.
at one point during the show someone yelled "Over the line!" which was followed by "Mark it fucking zero" then "you're entering a world of pain"....this continued until the hall was in stitches.

:D

I love the Coens' movies. If you've never seen 'Miller's Crossing' I would strongly recommend that one, too. :-)

75. No situation can fail to be solved by a line from The Big Lebowsky.
Any dilemma, any fight, any argument, any tender moment, anything can be enhanced by a line for that movie.
