Favorite Movie:
The Big Lebowski


Least Favorite Movie:
Twister

The Talented Mr Ripley


Most Overrated:
Flawless (not because of him though)


Most Underrated:
Hard to say... When a Man Loves a Woman Can't even remember that he was in that one, but I like the film.


Favorite Line:
Hard to say. It's mostly how he says it, not what he says. But I think it's hillarious when he as Brandt in The Big Lebowski says: "Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her. Very free-spirited"
after Bunny having offered The Dude a blow job.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but
now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
