Which most nearly describes your thoughts on this Coen Bros film?

I am all over The Big Lebowski
I like(d) it well enough, but the cult-film enthusiasm for the movie spooks me a bit
Didn't care for it all that much
I hate it with a cinematic hate
Just too many f-bombs

No, look. I do mind. The Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this will not stand, man!

This film is always good for a laugh; make it grand for me.

Walter, face it, there isn't any connection.

Oh, not as I experience it  8)
hm, never went to public high school or middle school?

Public jr high and high school.  Back in my day (the Upper Devonian) almost none of my schoolmates used any such word.

     My reaction was that it was somewhat funny, but not a great film. When I watched it again I noticed more that I liked about it. The Coen Bros. sometimes seem to be trying harder to make a point than make an entertaining film. Almost everything that happens involves a satirical presentation of things that mostly escape notice (micro-satire). The story is not important because all the little distractions are the story.

BTW, the 30-second trailer is an f-bomb-free zone  8)

It would pretty much have to be, wouldn't it?

You and your mates were regularly beaten up on the playground, weren't you  ;D

I'll take a look at it, but you know, I'm really have a hard time trying to imagine how they managed to find 30 seconds of dialogue without the F word.

Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion, man.  8)

Similar experience to The Big Bruckner, perhaps?  ;)

Exactly...and The Big Beethoven.

Could be you're just the wrong generation, Corey. But give it another try. On second or third viewing your meh might begin to have a relationship with some boundaries.

nah, Karl grew up on another planet. The inhabitants there were friendly and didn't have any arms or legs..... or eyes!

or souls, or teeth, or soles, or shoes, feet, mouths, brains, stomaches...... they were odd, anyways.....

I've heard the meh shrinks with age. ;D But really, I will give it another try. It has been more than a year since I watched it.
