This week’s Flashback Feature: The Big Lebowski

tt0118715_largecoverIf your name is Will Albritton, please look away. Okay? Alright. This film is only okay. It’s not bad, not at all! I just think it’s not deserving of all that the hype it receives. Not that we got that outta the way, you should go out and check it out tonight and then come back and let me know what a big fool I am and the lack of taste in film I possess is nil. Wait, did you say go check it out? Where is it playing tonight? Funny you should ask: as we mentioned here before, I lied. The Flashback Features are here to stay for another run and The Big Lebowski is the jump off tonight. Same place (Edwards Theater @ Riverpark), same price ($5), different time (the films now begin at 9pm for this entire run). Although there won’t be an official Dumb Drum Gettogether for this one (my liver needs a break, yo!) that should stop you from heading out and joining your fellow Lebowskiphiles out there tonight and here’s the trailer to get you ready.

  1. I think this film is much better than OK. But I’m not a Lebowskiphile. And unfortunately I’m working so I can’t make it to the screening tonight

    1. I saw this at first run in the theater. I own it on DVD. I was planning to go watch it tonight, but have a headache. If there was going to be a gettogether, I would probably change my mind.

      I agree with Bryan. What!? This movie is much better than okay. The Busby Berkely-esque musical section slows it down a bit, but that section is still cleverly crafted. You will most likely find yourself quoting lines from the movie for weeks and years to come.

      “That rug really tied the room together, did it not?”

      The Coen Bros. always seem to have their casting spot on. These actors pop up so many of their films, yet they are different characters in each one.

      I am a big fan of Barton Fink and Miller’s Crossing.

  2. “Yeah and maybe we stomp on it and squoosh it, Lebowski.”

    “They’re not literally his children. They’re the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers.”

    I might just have to watch this at home. The best quotes have to be censored on here.

  3. I was still in Beehive mode. I guess I forgot where I fucking was.

    Bunny Lebowski: I’ll suck your cock for a thousand dollars.
    Brandt: (CHUCKLING) Wonderful woman. We’re all, we’re all very fond of her. Very free-spirited.
    Bunny Lebowski: Brandt can’t watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred.
    Brandt: (CHUCKLING) That’s marvelous.
    The Dude: Uh, I’m just gonna go find a cash machine.
