"That must be exhausting" as a response to nihilism is one of my all time favorite quotes.

Checking in to say that I'm a big fan of The Big Lebowski.

All the performances are perfect and the dialog / character interactions are so well written.

I'll go one further and say it's my favorite movie, period. It's holds up fantastically over time, too.

I had a friend tell me once he didn't like the movie. When I asked him why he said "I'm just not a bowling fan."

Not liking the big lebowski should be grounds for deportation. We need to toughen up our immigration and citizenship laws.

Anyone who doesn't like the Big Lebowski is out of their fucking element, and possibly named Donny.

The early threat scene really made me appreciate the Dude as a character. "Its down there somewhere, let me take another look."

The first time I watched TBL I thought it was okay. The second time I watched it I thought it was genius.

This reminds me. Kingpin is such a highly underrated movie. Bowling translates to film superbly.
