Drank 'Caucasians' while watching "The Big Lebowski" tonight

[Zomby Woof]

A friend of mine nicknamed me Walter, because I look and sound like John Goodman's character. I also get shushed by waitresses just like he does in the movie. :-)

Love the Coen brothers, and this movie. I am a fan of Jimmie Dale Gilmore too, who has a cameo as Smokey, the guy who Walter pulled a gun on. (The similarity ends there, I hate guns, lol).

1. Is a White Russian a Caucasian?

Never heard of that drink.

Sounds good, and what do you think of Miller's Crossing?;)

[Zomby Woof]

2. yes, same as a White Russian

He uses both terms in the movie, lol. It's coffee-flavored, so I love 'em.

I loved Miller's Crossing. They get the details down pat in their movies.

The only one by them I haven't seen yet is "Intolerable Cruelty", and the only disappointing one was "The Hudsucker Proxy", which they admitted was not to their liking either. But the effort counts.

3. Big Lebowski is one of their funniest movies

It's way overproduced IMO, but hilarious.

"Careful man there's a beverage here".

I love Coen brothers' movies. Love White Russians too :-)
:toast:

14. But the whole overproduced Busby Berkeley Musical Number

thing is priceless, esp. "What Condition My Condition Was In" with the whole Valkyrie Bowling getups, Saddam as the bowling shoe guy...

4. FREE COUNTRY!!!! just drinking my coffee

Walter is the greatest

[Zomby Woof]

10. that scene is me!

Griping about civil liberties and drinking coffee, as is my right! :D

[tridim]

5. I'm maintaining a fairly strict drug regimen

to.. you know.. Keep my mind uhhh.. limber.

[demgrrrll]

6. Wasn't there some line about the rug making the room? Nihilists.

Damn I do love that movie. Sam Elliot was great. The dude
abides.

[absyntheNsugar]

8. The rug held the room together so well

was the line

Classic!

[catzies]

11. "Pulled" the room together.

Sorry for the nitpick. :)

[opiate69]

20. Actually...

the rug "tied" the room together....as long as we're nit-picking..:)

[Zomby Woof]

22. yep!

It was even funnier when Walter said it at the bowling alley.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

7. "How are you going to keep them down on the farm

when they've seen Karl Hungus?"

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. "8 year olds, dude."

[Susang]

12. Careful

Just don't admit to getting drunk!

<ducks>

[Zomby Woof]

18. lol, Susan!

I didn't get drunk, just enough to get into the groove (I am a geek who will match drinks with movies - like drinking Capt. Morgan's while watching "Pirates of the Caribbean").

I am quite sure I have never posted drunk on DU, and if I had, it never occurred to me to proclaim it. I mentioned the drink only because of my movie/drink match quirk. :-)

[Susang]

21. You're not that much of a geek

Or if you are, then I am too, 'cause I match my cocktails to fit the entertainment all the time! Rum for Pirates of the Carribean, Champagne and/or Vodka for AbFab, white russians for Lebowski, etc. I call it good menu planning! :-)

13. Jimmie Dale Gilmore

is one righteous fellow!
Dig the Coen brothers too.
i drank lots of coffee last night and watched 200 Motels.
you were in my thoughts, of course. :loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

15. thank you!

I saw "200 Motels" at a midnight show once, back in the 80's. If I was in your thoughts because of that movie... :crazy: It's beyond description! :D

Glad you like JDG too. :loveya:

16. My 20 year old nephew saw that movie...

...visited me a couple of days later with a bottle of vodka, a bottle of Kahlua, a pint of cream and a dream.

After a few hours he launched a spectacular display of projectile vomiting off my porch.

The moral? Don't emulate cool characters in movies until you're old enough to pull it off.

[Zomby Woof]

17. hahahaha!!!!

So much for his budding career as The Dude. :-)


:puke: <---- your nephew

[Bat Boy]

19. Yeah, he's pretty much the anti-dude.

I tried to stop him, but remember when you were twenty and got an idea stuck in your head? Nothing could've pulled him off the tracks once he became convinced he was cooler than the train.

It was one of those "stand in the corner and chuckle knowingly" moments for me. I love those...

[skrunch]

23. Und why aren't you listening to "Autobahn"?

And where the hell's my copy of "Logjammin'"?
