Can anyone explain The Big Lebowski to me?

Jan 08, 2016 12:34

Really. I watched it, last night, for the first time.

I really don't understand what the actual point was. Let alone if there was even closure to - what I think was - the main plot point ( Read more... )

real life: it goes all the way to 11, fandom: i love music, real life: the family is crazy!, daily: friday, real life: dork moment, real life: -really- not a drinker, real life: to do or not, real life: am i gilligan or the skipper?, fandom: i love movies, music: rcpm, real life: my brother's just a lifeguard

I've never seen it either. I don't get the appeal, I don't have any interest in watching it, and I feel like all the people I've known IRL who love it are kind of d-bags, so yeah... no interest in it.

I will give that there were two or three funny moments. But, generally, it was just a lot of F-bombs and naked women and Jeff Bridges in Jellies.

I kinda wish I could #1 unsee, and #2 hadn't wasted the money buying it.

Especially after my brother said he really didn't care about the movie. THEN WHY DID YOU ASK ME TO BUY IT, DUMBASS?

I didn't get that movie either. There were only two things I enjoyed about it, and they were Steve Buscemi (I loooooooove him, and he's the only reason I watched the begin with. :P) and the part where John Goodman smashes up that kid's car because he's just so OTT there I can't help but laugh. The rest of it was just weird, though. :P

I would love to be able to unsee naked!Julianne Moore. And WTF was the point of John Tuturro being there? It made no sense, at all. LOL

The point is... bowling.

Actually even the Coen brothers state the plot is unimportant.

psss sorry for popping in randomly. Apparently visiting your journal once is reason enough for LJ to tell me when you've posted a new entry?!

LOL Well.. that's more than I knew yesterday. :)

No worries ♥ LJ.. constantly bewildering us since forever. They probably changed a setting in the infinite goal to become Facebook.

Reasons people like the movie. I'm ambivalent.. finally watched it a year or so ago. It was entertaining but eh.

I'm afraid I'm just going to have to watch it again. Just wish I could edit out all the naked women, because MEH.
