That was fun. Love the movie. I saw an interview where Jeff Bridges mentions getting a fan letter from someone who came up with a theory that Donnie is Walter's imaginary friend. Bridges found this notion compelling and went back and watched it as if that were the case. He said he never really realized that outside of the scene where his car get's stolen he never interacts with Donnie, never speaks to him directly. Jeff Bridges said that if you stayed with the whole Donnie's not real theme that could be the Dude being sarcastic with Walter since he's not looking at Donnie when he speaks. The heart attack and ash spreading scene's were the only problematic moments for the theory but if you wrote them off as figments of Walter's imagination it works. Try it. Watch the movie with the premise that Donnie only exists in Walter's somewhat tortured mind, it lends a unique, Beautiful Mind sort of perspective to the film. Then think about how he could actually get the Dude a toe. 🤔

[@sumego5795]

Yeah, I saw that interview too. It’s out here somewhere. Those two scenes, ashes and heart attack, throw it off. Nice theory - and I bet the producer Coen is kicking himself for not thinking that through.

[@zyxmyk]

i love this movie as much as anybody. I'm turning 70. the Dude is somebody I could have hung out with and partied with. I want to point out one thing. He's much nicer than the hippies I knew (and knew quite well). e.g. when his nerdy landlord says, "I got the space for my dance sequence. I'd love it if you'd come and take notes" the Dude says, "I'll be there, man." AND HE ACTUALLY SHOWS UP. Most of the hippies I knew, even if they agreed, would likely not show up and, in fact, not even remember the whole interaction Lebowski is a nice guy, a good person. that's one of the reasons this movie wears so well when you watch it for the seventh time

[@andychisarick6879]

You missed a couple...biggest theory about Walter is, he WAS in Vietnam where his best buddy was named Donnie. Donnie gets killed, Walter suffers PTSD, & the fact is Donnie is never actually 'in" the movie. Check it out- nobody actually talks to Donnie except Walter because Donnie isnt there! It's just Walter talking to his dead friend. When you watch the movie w/ this thought in mind it changes the tone of so many scenes Talk about a cool concept...also, more trivial but cool, Walter can't call a foot foul on Smoky. No bowler can ever do anything of the sort. If your toe hits the line while bowling, a little laser thing is tripped, a red light flashes, a buzzer goes off, & the shot doesn't count. It's universal, every bowling alley everywhere, been around forever

I wonder if Jeff Bridges ,in part, was inspired to come up with the "human paraquat" line due to the influence of Los Angeles disc jockey, Pat "Paraquat" Kelley, who was on the air in the seventies at radio station KMET 94.7. Of course, I might be out of my element.

[@57hound]

Sure that could be why. OTOH, if you were a stoner back in the ‘70s, which Bridges was, you would have been very aware of paraquat. The marijuana eradication program using paraquat caused a lot of fear and paranoia among stoners back then. I don’t think it actually kept anyone from getting high, but it was a concern that was brought up often.

watched this movie so many times.. i was hoping for an explanation as to why in the scene where brandt is showing the dude all of mr lebowskis awards and hes describing the lebowski little achievers, his line was "with out the necessary means for a necessary means for a higher education". like why did he repeat himself like that? im watching it on netflix right now i just cant get over that, am i just missing how it makes sense or was that just overlooked ?

I did not know that the actors were given creative freedom to replace their dialogue for the TV edits, making John Goodman a genius for coming up with maybe the most iconic line replacement of all time.

Fact 31: The Dude lives in the complex right across the street from my lift in Venice. They put lights in my building and left a total mess. You can see my orange BMW R80GS parked outside it during one of the exterior shots... from the limo (I think).

When it comes to The Big Lebowski I thought i was an “Ekspert” like Karl Hungus, but turns out I learned some facts about the movie; like 10 out of the 30 were new to me. Abide people!

The check for milk dated 9/11 and in Matrix, Mr. Anderson's ID has a 9/11 date. Hmmm. Going back, or sideways, have other Coen Bros. films had that date in them?

overdub of the car smashing the best! haven't seen in years. At one point he says something about the oregon trail

Here's another fact. Jesus has his own 'Stranger' who appears once in the film - Sam Elliot dressed in the same purple bowling outfit as Jesus.
