365: The Big Lebowski

1998 movie

Rating: 20/20

Plot: Jeff Lebowski, a bowling slacker better known as "The Dude," has his rug urinated upon by a Chinaman which sets off a whirlwind of an adventure involving giggling artists, his seed, kidnapping, severed toes, double crossing, recreational drugs, lots of White Russians, a pomeranian, Jesus, theft of a car, a kid flunking history, a ringer, the Vietnam War, nihilists, known pornographers, a million dollars, and lots of bowling. But not The Dude. You don't get to see him bowl.

Seriously. He doesn't roll a single ball throughout the entire movie.

I just watched this again the other night and I agree on your flawless rating.

Did you do Stroszek? You should.

'Stroszek' is my favorite movie. Well, it is when I'm not telling somebody that 'Lebowski' is my favorite movie.

I just read this article about Bruno S. from 'Stroszek' in the New York Times. Interesting stuff.

Have you seen the 'Kaspar Hauser' movie with Bruno?

When I think of scenes from this movie, I start to laugh out loud. An 18.
