I met the Dude today. After his car was burned by the nihilists, he took to riding a bike around town. He has taken to fishing for and selling lobsters along the coast, but today he was headed to meet a friend, probably Walter.

Of all the people to meet him too...
It's so funny to think that that movie was based on a real person and real events. Although not all of them happened to the same person, kind of like Jesus.

Yeah, that guy Jeff Dowd really is The Dude, you can look it up.
RB, don't know your taste in films, but I'd have to say "The Big Lebowski" is worth seeing.

you know, i see what you mean. although digital video is so crisp it lacks the warmth of film, so it comes off as cold... and shit.

it's really all a big mind joke.
they show old laker games and they look like shit, but we all know when we watched them back in 2000 they didn't look that shitty. they need gimmicks... in about 5 years... they're gonna come up with "new" technology that's gonna blow this current tech out the water... and make this tech look like shit... when as of now we're experiencing it and it looks great.
come on now... think about it.
and i know when it comes to digitalizing shit they can get infinitely better... but in 5 years... THAT much better?

vhs eradicated betamax in the home market (or whatever you want to call it) but betamax is still the industry standard.

Donny, you are out of your element.
Of course that dude was not THE dude that the Dude was based on, but he sure as hell looks like Jeff Bridges as the Dude, doesn't he? I didn't mean that I met the real guy, just a guy that looks like the guy in the movie.
When I asked him if he was ever told he looks like Jeff Bridges, his response was, "the Dude Abideth" hahahahahahaha
p.s. RB - see this movie.
As a matter of fact...Lebowskifest is coming to town in May. They're having a screening at the Wiltern $15...I'm going for sures. Who's down?

also, the story I posted with the picture was a complete fabrication, mixing facts from the movie and facts I gleaned from this guy in our conversation. Not so much anything real having to do with Jeff Dowd.

i have missed all the Lebowski Fests (i think there was only one in LA a few years back..?) I wanted to go to this one, then i realized the "all the white russians you can drink" did not mean there would be an open bar, it meant you would pay $8-10 bucks for a really shitty watered down drink
the 8 year old guitarist that will be playing before the screening might push me to go though...

yeah yeah go! I just want to see the movie on big screen. I live like blocks from the wiltern..

My one flaw.... and I hate to admit it cause its a black mark on my Cinefile status... I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT! There I have admitted it. Every time it comes around, and I know about each time, something always comes and and bars me from attending (for 10 years). I even thought of renting it (but I need the big screen for this- I will not sell this one short). Have seen all other Cohen Bro films and love 'em.
Duderina, I am down for the May showing. Cant wait to pop my cherry!

yes. awesome. I think I may I think I might post a ride for this tonight.
Dakendzy, I envy you. Seeing this movie for the first time on big screen...
Also, both Jeff Dowd and Bridges have been known to show up to these things.

@RB fucking fascist.
...the final is open book/open note, and theoretically I can have the exam written out before the actual exam and if that happens, I can go.
and you, of all people, need to see this movie, simply so I can start telling you to shut the fuck up.
