      No one seem seems willing to follow the plot. Side characters appear and disappear, everyone has their own agenda. The plot is a frustrating exercise in trying to unravel the plot until we give up and say, “Fuck it, let’s go bowling.”
      It’s funny how both Lebowskis want to use the Dude for different ends, but for similar reasons: he’s a bum and a loser. The Big Lebowski wants him as a fall guy, Maude wants to be impregnated by someone easily dissuaded from taking responsibility.

    Jeff Bridges comes from a acting family. The Bridges family is very well known in Hollywood. His grand father and all his brothers were all actors.

    My favorite Coen Brothers movie is O Brother Where Art Thou. It's a great movie with a great soundtrack. It's probably one of their biggest commercial successes. It stars George Clooney, and John Goodman appears in it. I also liked their underrated movie, The Ladykillers, starring Tom Hanks. It's a remake of a 1955 Alec Guinness/Peter Sellers movie. Sam Elliot plays Virgil Earp in the great western film, Tombstone, but he's had a long career with a long list of films and tv shows. He's probably just as well known for his mustache and deep voice as for his acting.

    Hi Dawn,
    Great reaction - as always. Here's the deal...
    ••••
    ••Bunny left to go away to visit friends without telling anyone.
    ••The German Nihilists learned of it somehow, and used the occasion of her disappearance to pretend that they kidnapped her and to try and extract a million dollars’ ransom from the Lebowski who lived in the mansion.
    ••That Lebowski, her husband, didn’t really want her back. He has no money of his own, so he used the circumstance of what he thought was her kidnapping, to steal the money from the charity trust, for himself. The Charity trust overseers, including Maude, would think that the money went to get Bunny back. But, the money would be used for himself. There was no money in the briefcase that wheelchair Lebowski gave the Dude, to begin with.
    ••Bunny owed money to Treehorn, so Treehorn was motivated collect that debt, so he had the Dude visit him, because he thought the Dude could lead him to it. He had the Dude drugged so that Treehorn could have his thugs search the Dude’s apartment.
    ••••
    There’s a lot of things you EXPECT to happen in the movie, but don’t (nihilism)…
    •Bunny was never kidnapped.
    •No one had their toe cut off against their will.
    •Donny wears many bowling shirts, but always with OTHER PEOPLES’ names on them - never his own name.
    •The Dude is never actually seen bowling, not once.
    •NO MONEY is ever exchanged between any two parties (Maybe with the exception of the check for 69 cents, that the Dude writes to the Supermarket.)
    •The Wheelchair Lebowski, doesn’t actually have any money. He disburses it on behalf of the real owners.
    •Since Wheelchair Lebowski doesn’t actually have his own money, HE is not actually the generous philanthropist he presents himself as.
    •Vietnam never relates to anything we see in the movie, even though Walter constantly talks about it.
    • ‘Shomer Shabbos’ translates to ‘observing the Sabbath.’ It means observing the Mitzvot (Commandments) associated with Judaism’s Shabbat. Walter views himself as taking the observance of the Shabbat restrictions seriously, but he actually doesn’t - in two different ways:
    - The overriding idea behind the Commandments, is that the person makes G-d, and observing G-d’s ways, into the center of the person’s life. (You’re allowed to break the restrictions of the Sabbath, but only in a true emergency that is likely to involve life-or-death.) When The Dude threatens Walter, “Come pick me up, or I’m off the bowling team,” that is not a life-or-death emergency. That Walter comes to pick up the Dude, moves the plot of the movie along, but it also demonstrates that Walter has made bowling and the tournament into the center of his life, not Judaism and not obeying G-d’s Commandments.
    If it were otherwise, Walter would have said, “My life will be more difficult if you’re not in it, and it will be a major blow to not compete in the tournament, but I don’t break the Sabbath for something that’s not a life-or-death emergency.”
    - Observing the Commandments is supposed to help produce a person who can control himself, and who embodies ‘Loving-Kindness.’ (Also, you can’t be happy, if you don’t have self-control). Walter is the exact opposite of such a person: He’s continuously out-of-control, filled with anger, and is almost always one inch away from losing it: screaming, shooting someone, or beating people up. He waves the ‘I observe the Shabbat’ thing in peoples’ faces, as part of his identity, while being the opposite of who G-d wants a person to be (the G-d he is supposedly doing these things for; he is an angry, out-of-control piece of work), and giving a bad name to religious Jews and Judaism: He’s the only way-out-of-control person you see in the film, and he’s also the only person we see, who makes a big deal of being ‘Shomer Shabbos’ .
    It wouldn’t be unreasonable for an ignorant person to associate the two things. (“If this is what the religion is all about, I’m staying the f__k away from it and all people connected with it.”)
    (I understand that 'Walter' is based on a real person, and the above may not have been what the Cohen Brothers intended (they wanted to create memorable characters and funny situations with layers, which they obviously did.) I'm merely noting it.)

    @nathanwood1561 Год назад +1

    So, the way you get your bowling ball to curve:
    There's a polish that you apply to your ball to keep them shiny and capable of moving very fast down the oiled lanes that keep the pins at the end of them.
    When you stand with the ball, your arm is kind of at a 45 degree angle and your palm is flat up holding the ball. On the approach you swing the arm back and forth in a pendulum motion for moment. Each lane has sets of arrows on them. You aim for those usually and not the pins. If you release the ball with a straight release, it should head pretty straight, sometimes with a slight curve. You want to hit the pins not quite dead on, aim at clipping the first pin but hitting the second row of pins. When you want the ball to curve, you have to aim a bit differently, but you rotate your hand when you release the ball instead of pushing it straight on. When you rotate your hand, the ball will have spin to it and if you can do it right the wax+oil+spin will get your ball to do nice and beautiful arcs.

As where the bull and some of the cows will be used for breathing. So steers are castrated male cattle… P.S. You did ask the question not conversation I typically have lol..

    A steer is a castrated bull, usually raised for beef. Sam Elliott, the cowboy narrator, mispronounces tuchis as tookis. Tuchis is Yiddish for ass, bum, backside, "darker than a black steer's tuchis."
    Jeff Bridges, the Dude, is one of America's finest film actors. He has been in over 90 films and TV shows. The son of actor Lloyd Bridges (the guy in _Airplane!_ who guessed he picked the wrong day to quit smoking, drinking, amphetamines, sniffing glue), he started acting as a child on his father's popular TV show, _Sea Hunt._ Jeff Bridges has received Oscar nominations for seven of his films, winning Best Actor for _Crazy Horse_ (2009). A cult favorite film of his is _The Fisher King_ (1991), which also stars Robin Williams.

    The long pinky fingernail is a drug reference. The idea is you grow your pinky fingernail long for dipping drugs out of a baggy, like cocaine or heroin. Famously there is a picture of Carrie Fisher in _Star Wars_ that shows her with an obviously long pinky fingernail. When it was pointed out to her she was confused. She admitted to being a _total_ drug addict at the time, but didn't use her pinky fingernail for that. (Carrie Fisher fought drug and alcohol addiction for much of her life.)

    Jeff Bridges is also in the Coen Bros brilliant western TRUE GRIT. You can see him being young and beautiful in THE LAST PICTURE SHOW (a tragic, beautiful film) FAT CITY (also tragic and beautiful), and the one that's maybe closest in tone to this, WINTER KILLS, a crazy paranoid thriller that's also very funny.

    I lived with a dude who had that car. We called it The Tank. One night for obvious reasons it remained parked at a certain Chicago bar. I was the lucky guy who answered the phone when the police found it. You gotta understand, Sparky was...unique. Explaining to the cops that most of the (damage) was not honestly (vandalism) should have been my audition clip to the frickin UN. I had a drink after that. Walked a mile in the snow both ways to have a drink. If you ever are anywhere that is not Chicago, then you're allright. Hell envies that place.

    The jellies were Jeff's own shoes; White Russian is a mixed drink that is the Dude's beverage (vodka w/Kahula w/creme & ice); the mustachioed gent - who narrates - is the great Sam Elliott and yep he's in STAR IS BORN; steer is a male cow basically cattle; Jackie Treehorn is the porn producer of the 'Logjammin' ' video. Jeff Bridges is a truly amazing actor - I recommend the following to see his range THUNDERBOLT & LIGHTFOOT (w/Clint Eastwood - his 1st Oscar nomination too); STARMAN; THE FISHER KING & FEARLESS off the top of my head. I knew you'd love this film.

    This movie is kind of an homage in some ways to the old film noir classic, The Big Sleep, a Raymond Chandler story. The plot was so convoluted that Chandler entirely lost track of several characters and plot lines in the book. It didn't matter in the movie because of the iconic and sizzling acting and chemistry by Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall along with the rest of a talented cast. You can kind of see the plot elements of a noir type mystery but it's definitely given the Coen twist. To me The Dude is as much of an existential street philosopher as anything else. Lol.

    1) A steer is a bull (male cow) that has been castrated. It's typically done to make for faster growing and more tender beef. If it's done to make animals for farm work (in the 19th century) then it's call an ox, rather than a steer.
    2) What did the doctor do? The doctor simply checked the Dude for "unpleasant diseases," in preparation for his use as a personal "sperm donor" for Maude.

    32:01 It's called Hooking, you basically rotate your hand just as you release the ball and the slick of the lane will cause the ball to spin in the direction perpendicular to which it is traveling, and depending on how you do it and how buffed the lane is, the spin will overcome the initial motion and cause the ball to curve back in the other direction...most all pros use this technique because as a matter of physics, you want to hit between the head pin and the next pin to the left or right, and you want to hit that gap straight on, so you need to curve the ball to hit that sweet spot...yeah, I used to play in a bowling league, and my favorite trick to do was see how far I could hook the ball to just skim the edge of the gutter but have it curve back to hit a strike...if you are familiar with pool or billiards, they call putting spin on the ball "English"...when you hit the cue ball off-center to make it ricochet in a particular way...
    Now that I think about it, there are many similarities between billiards and bowling...they are both basically math/physics games with little actual physical effort required...though a billiard ball may only weigh ounces and you only really have to hold the cue-stick, a bowling ball can be anywhere from 8-20 lbs...Personally, I used a 13lb. ball...my mom used an 8lb. ball and though I had much more practice, she did almost as well (Even after back surgery!)...but when I tried her ball, I thought I broke the lane the first time because it was so light and one of my fingers got stuck and I threw it half-way down the lane before it hit the ground...bowling is a nuanced sport, but one you can play just as well casually as professionally...again, just like billiards...
