positive · AI labelView post →So The Big Lebowski is the best Coen Bros movie, right? Are we in agreeance on this?
positive · AI labelView post →THE BIG LEBOWSKI (1998) *Watch 5 A movie full of chaos and absurdity (of the best kind) I like how Deakins leans into his background in naturalism. It grounds the film and makes the stylish fantasy sequences even more wonderous "Let's go bowling" Yes, let's

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the great and underreported tragedies of the 20th century was that the Coens couldn't get Marlon Brando for The Big Lebowski. He would have been so insane in that movie he'd make John Turturro look normal. It would have killed.

neutral · AI labelView post →John Milius is 82. Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski was partly based on the Coens' friend, the mercurial & brilliant Milius, thus creating one of the greatest movie characters ever. 'This is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.’
neutral · AI labelView post →The one gripe I have with The Big Lebowski is that it makes my well-earned dislike of Eagles feel like an affectation I picked up from a movie, as opposed to something I learned just from listening to their shitty music.
neutral · AI labelView post →THE BIG LEBOWSKI: removed from its strange mid 00s cult, it remains one of the smartest movies about film noir conventions and the dream-like qualities of the Detective Novel. Everyone forgets how strange it is. Jeff Bridges has never been hotter.

positive · AI labelView post →One of the hardest laughs I ever had in a movie theatre was when 3/4 into the runtime of The Big Lebowski the Dude says to Walter “You’re not even JEWISH!”
positive · AI labelView post →I jus thad a conversation with a friend about the film The Big Lebowski and it's connections with the collapse of the American Left in the early 90s. No reasons they should know this but I've noticed recently that all that meaning is striped out of a lot of people's understandings of that film.

[via](https://www.tumblr.com/ofimaginarybeings/809459103940395008/the-big-lebowski-joel-coen-and-ethan-coen-1998?source=share) >The Coen brothers’ movies are usually more in the vein of Billy Wilder’s acerbic satire than the affectionately loopy take on the varieties of human eccentricity you find in Preston Sturges’s films. But *The Big Lebowski* somehow manages to have touches of both Wilder and Sturges, with the latter,…
neutral · AI labelView post →Something younger generations will miss entirely is that The Big Lebowski was a period film. Released in 1998, it was set in 1991, which was an entirely different era, a fuck-ton of history happened in the 90's, man. Just ask, like, any Eastern European.

positive · AI labelView post →A thing I really admired about that film is how it's sort of two wrapped in one. You have a mostly very funny, slapstick stoner comedy alla The Big Lebowski whenever DiCaprio is on screen and then a hard eyed thriller when Infiniti is on. It allows what is ultimately a very serious film to breathe

neutral · AI labelView post →Like a quarter century ago The Big Lebowski was notable for having more instances of the word “fuck” than any other movie, and now, a salty episode of The Bear, on basic cable, can basically match it.

positive · AI labelView post →Got on a Coens kick last night and rewatched THE BIG LEBOWSKI, a movie I still enjoy a lot, but unfortunately for me I've seen it so many times that I don't really experience it as a movie anymore, more just a stream of memorized one-liners. Sometimes wish I could neuralize myself and see it fresh.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think if you’re a critic in 1998 seeing the new Coen brothers movie coming off of Fargo, it’s perfectly understandable that you don’t know what the fuck to do with The Big Lebowski. We can’t always know these things right away in the moment.
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatched The Big Lebowski, & you forget how perfect it is. Killer lines, killer visual gags, killer performances, killer soundtrack, deconstructing both noir and masculinity. The Coens are just incredible, every layer of every film constructed with equal care and craft. The Dude abides.
