The Big Lebowski

The phone ringing thing is part of the joke SC.

"Phone's ringing, Dude"
"Thank you, Donnie"



See, Yoda, this is why you might need to take marijuana for some things. On marijuana, I might be able to appreciate this travesty, because I would be able to lower myself mentally for it. It's boring as Hell sober. I'm not saying it'll be great when I'm high, but it definitely deserves that kind of experimentation.



I'll finish it later... but... when it first started, I thought, okay, not that funny, but might be good anyways. And it did seem like it was going to be okay. It seemed interesting for awhile...and then it just wasn't doing anything for me... and then I started getting mad because I'm thinking, "Why the hell does everyone like this stupid movie? They must be brain washed."

I bought this movie on Blu-ray --- STEELBOOK --- looks really nice. I trusted it to be decent, at least. I'm a Coen Brothers fan. I've liked most of their other movies I've seen.

But this one....

At one point, all I kept hearing in the movie was a ringing cell phone. RING, RING, RING, RING, RING! I could have smashed my TV set.

Completely overrated film. Dullards. All of you are dullards.
Yeh the plot is quite confusing the first time you watch it and it seems like a bit of a mess, but I think it's supposed to be like that. Once you know the story, you can settle down and just sit back and enjoy the characters.

Honestly, I could watch this film over and over again, hands down the funniest film I have ever seen and on its day it could be my all time favourite film.

I was going to reply to your original post with some quotes like "Well that's just like, your opinion, man", "Shut the **** up Sexy", "Sexy, you're out of your element" etc. do you not find these lines funny?

As well as you're killing your father my favourite lines are: he almost cracked - this line is brilliant because you don't here Walter say it but it is implied over the phone conversation with the dude, "Phone's ringing dude", "It's like Lenin said..." "I am the walrus?", "Oh, come on Donny, they were threatening castration! Are we gonna split hairs here? Am I wrong?", "This whole ****ing thing... I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that this ****ing strumpet..." (and the rest of the Vietnam quotes), I'll stop there

Watch it all the way through SC...

Then leave it a couple weeks and watch it all the way through again.


I had to get it on the second take, a lot of people do.



You disliked a movie that stars Steve Buscemi? How is that even possible? Love the fact that you didn't include him in your hate list btw.

I don't think this could ever be that way for me...

It isn't just that the plot is confusing -- it's stupid. A man urinates on a rug and upsets the loser who owns it? Ooooohhhhhh! Golden idea!

The last thing I saw, a ferret was splashing around in his bathtub. Ooooohhhhhhhh! Fun times!

I found the Vietnam stuff stupid.

It's one of those movies that just doesn't work with me. It shouldn't exist because I'm not happy with it.

Well, from what I've seen so far, he really didn't show up in my radar.

I don't think you understand the importance of the rug, it really tied the room together.

... and this guy peed on it.



Where's the money Lebowski! Where's the money Lebowski! Where the fu*king money sh*theeeaaad!

It's a, uh, it's down there somewhere, let me take another look.



I have it on right now.
Of course you do. This is viewing #16,443 for you, isn't it?



All of you who like this movie should be shot dead. Holden Pike, you are brain damaged.

I watched an hour of this movie...

I laughed once. The line, "Oh, don't worry about him - he's a nihilist."

That was it.

The rest...

SUCKED.

I don't think I can finish it.

I absolutely hate "The Dude" character. I was hoping John Goodman would be good, but he was irritating, too! And the plot stinks. And I hate the rich Lebowski character and Phillip Seymour Hoffman's character, too. I hated Julianne Moore's scene!

Maybe I'll give it another chance sometime later, but you people seriously need help if you love this movie.
Give it another chance the first time I watched it I thought it was c**p but it is now one of my favourites

Rodent, the chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the **** are you talking about?

What the **** am I talking about? The Chinaman is not the issue here, Dan... I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dan... across this line YOU DO NOT...

... also, Dan, "Chinaman" is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian American, please.

Rodent, this isn't a guy who built the railroads here...

I am jealous of you now though, you guys make me really want to watch it but I don't even have it on DVD/Blu Ray for some reason, I mean occasionally they show it on ITV4 or something but not so much recently
