Just to explain the "I Am the Walrus" conversation: The Dude talked about Lenin, the Soviet revolutionary, but Donny understood "Lennon", so he wanted to be included in the conversation and continuously quoted the Beatles song "I Am the Walrus", to which Walter finally exploded and corrected him: "SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNY!

[@raifthemad]

@@Lethgar_Smith You can't have true communism with humans on a large scale, that's why it never works. It does fine within a family unit, and can work in small groups of close people. But as soon as you scale it up to bunch of people that don't even know each other, it falls apart. They have no incentive to not abuse the system to try and grab whatever they can. I should know, I lived in soviet union, EVERYBODY stole from "the state," and the higher up you were the more you stole. The best quote I've heard about communism was "Great system, wrong species."

[@Lethgar_Smith]

@@raifthemad The theory was that communism would be the natural evolutionary end of human economic systems. It was never intended by Marx for it to be brought about by revolution. Human civilization working together to achieve goals that benefit the group rather than the individual is still a worthy goal and using Lenin and the Bolsheviks to say that humans should not even try to help each other is bullshit. I see these comments from you freaks all the time now. "Every man for himself" "helping other people is a waste of time!" "Socialism sucks!"

Roderick Jaynes actually got nominated for an Oscar for No Country for Old Men, and they were so committed to the ruse that they were not going to accept the award for him if he won.

[@mattvsmetaverse]

That pinky nail is known as a "coke nail". I worked in the restaurant industry for about 10 years and met a few folks with one. I'd always look at 'em like "Yeeeaaah?". lol Aside from that, this movie is GOATed for me. So many great quotes. One of my favorites is, "You're entering a world full of pain". Gets me every time. lol Like you said, the chemistry and character development were nuts in this. I had no idea they confirmed a sequel til you said so. I am so here for that. And you can't go wrong with any Coen film, I don't think. I haven't seen one I haven't liked yet. 'No Country for Old Men' is a real standout for me. And even 'Burn After Reading', with Clooney and Pitt was a real pleasant surprise.

[@squidproquo1130]

My grandfather was an electrician and always kept a long pinky nail on himself to use on the job like a tiny screwdriver and for other little things. I myself always have crazy long pinky nails just because they seem to grow faster than my others and tend to break less. So I wouldn't necessarily make the leap that long pinky nails always equals cokehead.

[@mattvsmetaverse]

@@squidproquo1130 lol I'm not the one making that leap. 99% of people seeing that nail are going to denote it as the notorious "coke nail". I didn't make that the case. Just because you and your grandfather are non-traditional cases doesn't make that the prevailing case. I'm not lying to the man, and I never said I endorse it. So, I'm glad that you and your grandfather used your pinky nails for good, but most people are going think it's for coke or crushed pills, because that's why most people have one long pinky nail with 9 trimmed ones.

[@3DJapan]

I had a sort of "90s goth phase" in high school and college and had 3 long nails on each hand (thumb, index, little) for a while. All painted black of course. For years people talked about "that Coke nail". Completely ignoring the others.

[@mattvsmetaverse]

@@3DJapan Like I said, not saying other uses don't exist. You can't hate me for pointing out an existing prejudice for observing the presence of a solitary long pinky nail. I had a goth phase too, I painted my nails black. I also work as a handyman, and do carpentry work, using my nails as tools. It's all irrelevant of the prevailing interpretation. I'm sorry you guys are too soft for not-so-tough truths. I'm not gonna get ganged up on by complete strangers for pointing something obvious out. lol And I'm sorry if you feel attacked for me pointing it out. But, honestly, I don't know you, and I don't know your uses of your pinky nails. Once again, glad you don't use your nails for coke.

The long pinky fingernail is to facilitate the use of cocaine or other powdered drug that is snorted (such as snuff which was popular in the 1800s and early 1900s). Casual users are more likely to use a rolled-up piece of paper or straw, but frequent users would need a more convenient tool to be able to do it on the go. Cocaine spoons are a thing, but that's an additional tool to carry around, letting your pinky grow long would give you a small scoop that's with you always. Painting it shows that this guy is not only a heavy user, but is also completely unashamed of that, in fact, he's proud of it.

Oh yeah, dude, I can recommend you two great movies with Philip Seymour Hoffman. One is 'Doubt', with Meryl Streep and Viola Davis. Great cast, incredible acting, and they all play off of each other's characters. Hoffman is a priest in that movie and Streep is the head nun of a school. That movie seems to fly under the radar for many people and I haven't seen many reactions to it, if at all any. And the movie 'The Master' with Joaquin Phoenix. They're both insane in that film. I hope you check them out man. They're always in my library of movies in case I need to watch them again.

20:18 It's established early in the movie, that Walter is a Vietnam veteran with some type of PTSD. He screams about Vietnam when he's pointing his gun at Smoky in the bowling alley

I still remember the first time I saw this film, it was on VHS in 1999. A friend of mine told me I need to see this movie, that it would "Change my life". Crazy to think how ahead of his time he was. I didn't get it on that first viewing... The more times I see it, the more I get out of it. Very much like "Pulp Fiction". Two totally different stories, but if you really think about it, those films are very similar. There's a narrative running through it, but there's no big payoff. Both films end and that's it. That's what was so interesting about independent films in the 90's. "Clerks" and "Dazed and Confused" were very similar. It was more about the dialogue vs what was happening on screen.

Love anything Coen Brothers! Watching all your videos Mello. Keep it going sir. There are some videos I disagree/don’t see eye to eye to your commentary BUT I still like your channel. PS fun fact.. the scene where Julianne Moore talks about sex and stuff is referenced in a Beyoncé song “Partition” in French. I memorized it haha

There's a lot to dig in to. For example Donny had little to no dialogue because at the time Donny's actor Steve Buscemi was known for playing loud mouthed fast talking characters so the Coen bros made this role for him.

other Coen faves - Blood Simple, early, low budget, tight thriller. Fargo, existential true crime vibe. Oh Brother, scruffy white spiritualism. Hail Caesar, riffs on 50s Hollywood.

Blood simple is such a good movie

Someone actually turned the film into a Shakespearean comedy called "The Two Gentlemen of Lebowski".

Saw it in the theater in 1998. I was 22, and laughed my ass off!
