Watched The Big Lebowski last nite with Manuel and Monkey Boy. Knew nothing about it beforehand except it was by the Coen brothers. And that was good enough.

Hilarious.

With Jeff Bridges as The Dude, John Goodman as always-angry Nam vet who observes the Jewish Sabbath on principle (his ex-wife’s faith, so…) and Julianne Moore as a rich, artsy type with the high-European accent, going around purring lines like, “Do you have difficulty saying Vagina?”

Hilarious, man.

Then there was this one scene in the bowling alley, where this skanky looking guy in purple tights and gold jewellery (who had flashed an eight year-old girl before, the pervert) was demonstrating the most cringing style of bowling ever.

I just went, “Jesus.”

Then the camera went to close-up on his bright, curly, sparkly nametag: “Jesus.” J-Dawg reached over to shake my hand as I shook my head in disbelief. Man…

(It helped that later the Dude did the same.)
