		<description>When I first saw this film I thought it was the best way back then. I&#039;ve always been a Coen brothers fan - I never understood how people didn&#039;t enjoy this film.</description>

		<description>Nice post, Eva! And indeed, The Dude&#039;s influence is still spreading... For an account of the traveling circus that is the annual Lebowski Fest (now in it&#039;s ninth year and probably coming to a city/bowling alley near you!), check out these &lt;a href=&quot;http://thetravelersnotebook.com/notes-from-road/in-search-of-the-real-dude-notes-from-a-lebowski-fest-past/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Notes from a LebowskiFest Past&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a news anchor for a major TV station in a major market.  My producer, a senior writer and me can break tension at any moment in our busy newsroom with a pithy application of a Dude-ism.  It has gotten to the point that others pause in their work to hear lines from the movie quoted back -- as yet another Lebowski discussion takes flight.  This has led to greater appreciation of this film among our colleagues -- even those irritated by our habits.  The Big Lebowski is truly a remarkable film.  And I know I still don&#039;t get it completely.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s funny that my Dad worships this movie. He literally quotes it back and forth with his work friends and they bust up. 

It&#039;s like watching my generation quote Dave Chappelle skits. 

Great movie, great article. 

I wonder what would happen if everyone had the balls not to care about anything...</description>

		<description>I can remember the first time I saw the Big Lebowski...I was like WTF is this? But each time I watched it afterwards I felt a stronger understanding of each of the characters - finally getting each clever quip or joke.

For me, the beauty of this movie is certainly not just the Dude, it&#039;s each and every character...it&#039;s how incredibly well the Cohen bros portrayed theoretical characters from our real lives that we all feel we&#039;ve seen or heard about at one stage or another, and orchestrated it all to a story line that just barely seems to make sense. But it&#039;s a story line that importantly allows each character to show his/her true colors.

For people who love spending a day sitting in a cafe on a busy street or plaza people watching, you know the same people who would love to take a walk in a completely different type of neighborhood on the other side of town for nothing more than the enjoyment of analyzing the people, their local freaks, and local culture - this is your masterpiece.

&quot;If you will it, it is no dream.&quot;

If you are a huge fan, there is a great book written by some Lebowski fanatics, in which they interview each of the actors from the movie. John Goodman straight up says this was the role of his life. The book is titled &quot;I&quot;m a Lebowski, you&#039;re a Lebowski. Life, The Big Lebowski and what have you.&quot;

Last comment, I sincerely think there should be a new award at the Oscars. One for the best cameo. John Turturro absolutely deserves it for &#039;Jesus.&#039;

- and btw more recently, Tom Cruise def deserves it for his role in Tropic Thunder.

&quot;All the dude ever wanted, was his rug back.&quot;</description>
