A Little Lebowski Goes a Long Way
My son talked me into watching The Big Lebowski last night because it was on Netflix. That is two hours of my life I will never get back. What a waste of time. I didn't laugh once and felt assaulted by the bad language and just general stupidity of it.
Yet, because it is a Coen movie, I gave it the benefit of the doubt that there was more there than my first viewing. However, I won't be giving it a second one. I don't have the time. There were no normal people in the film except the waitress in the diner and the Mexican nurse.
On the positive side, it seemed to be a remake of The Big Sleep if Humphrey Bogart were a stoner. There are a lot of parallels in the plot, mainly its convolutedness. As someone wrote on the IMDB reviews, there's a reason it's a cult classic--what kind of people are in cults, anyway?
