Chandler is an author (and one could throw in Hammett and Cain and others, as well) who begs to be improved upon. Just like Bogart did with Huston and Hawks for the first two, and Wilder did for the last, the Coens were able to refine a rather crude, churlish character and adapt it into a relatable, contemporary story, while maintaining all the necessary noirish atmosphere.

​@@Hexon66yeah, agree. This is kind of a re-imagining of The Big Sleep', with a bit of Maltese Falcon, both Boggie, Chandler and HH, and Wilder(assuming Billy?) although made the archetypal noir (Double Indemnity) I think this has more in common with Sunset Boulevard. Would love to see a reaction to Barton Fink, one of my favourites, but everyone has their own when it comes to the Cohen Bros. Which is probably why they stand out as great film makers, so many good films.

So, about Donny getting told to shut up constantly.....in the Coen Brothers's previous movie (Fargo) Steve Buscemi played a character that the audience complained talked too much. So they went back to this script which they had already basically finished and crowbarred in the Donny character that does nothing but get told to shut up, then invited Buscemi to play the part.

The reason for Walter constantly telling Donnie to shut up has to do with a previous Coen Brothers movie, Fargo. In Fargo, Steve Buscemi's character talked constantly. So the Coens gave Buscemi, who played Donnie, almost no lines. So every time Donnie started to say something, Walter told him to shut up.

If you need to describe the film, you can tell people that the Coen Brothers basically took the archetypes of old noir films and turned all the tropes on their head in order to make a satire of American culture and character types. I love the fact that the role of a hardened savvy private eye gets thrown onto The Dude, an aloof stoner that just wants to get his rug back and bowl with his buddies. And the one time he employs an archetypal private eye move and finds out what Jackie Treehorn was writing on the pad, it just winds up being a drawing of a dick. This movie is one of a kind.

Then, I considered it the quintessential 'shaggy dog story' and I could embrace it for it's wild, chaotic nature, and it's become one of the movies I quote most.

Part of the beauty in Coen Brothers' movies is the minute attention given to detail. Some examples have already been posted here, but I've always liked the cassette tape with the bowling tournament audio on Side A, and just the name 'Bob' on Side B. He's punched by Maude's thug and goes into the first dream sequence with the flying carpet. The music throughout the dream, is what's playing on cassette as he wakes up. 'The Man in Me' by Bob Dylan, which is also the title track.

I'd add, that title 'The Man in Men' is intriguing also, in that I've always interpreted the characters of Walter, Donnie and The Dude as representative of the id, superego and ego. Walter being the impulse, Donnie being (shouted down and ineffectual) moral center, and The Dude left to negotiate the world under such conditions as 'ego'.

What is great about Walter's character, is that he is wrong about everything except the kidnapping.

Cannot read people at all, but he swears he's right about them. It is amusing, but only at a distance so that one does not cringe hard enough to get a backache.

Private Eye Philip Marlowe in the '40s and '50s, like "The Big Sleep", "The Long Good-Bye", "Farewell My Lovely", etc. Marlowe was always harassed by cops, getting beat up, or drugged by bad guys, and even rousted by his own clients. I'll also recommend an early Jeff Bridges film where he co-stars with Clint Eastwood in THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT (1974).

This movie is very hard to explain. At first you think it's a bowling movie, but you don't even see the main character bowl a single game. Then you think it's a stoner movie, but it's not, because the only character smoking weed is the Dude. So you think it's a mistaken identity movie, but then you realize Jackie Treehorn's thugs actually know "which Lebowski he is, the deadbeat Lebowski". I think the closest movie I can compare it to is Fargo, another Coen Brothers movie which is really good too, but the dark humor in that movie is a little hard to recognize. The Big Lebowski has a dark humor but upon watching it the first time you won't catch it. This is why this movie is VERY rewatchable because you have to see multiple times to get the humor, and that what makes this movie a timeless cult classic.

He lived with him for about a year to figure out how to embody him. Just so you know what kind of a guy Hunter was, when Johnny first arrived at his house, Hunter lured him into the bedroom in the basement that would be his and locked the door. There was a cigarette on a table in the corner and a lighter and ashtray all laid out for him. Then Johnny noticed the "table" it was sitting on was a box of real TNT.

I've watched MANY movies and the Coen Brothers are in my top three directors of all time. Fargo is a must. Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a tradition in my family every Thanksgiving. Intolerable Cruelty was amazing. True Grit was a great remake. Burn After Reading is hilarious but I've only seen it once. Hail Caesar! was ok. Not great but decent.

FYI, that was Kenny Rogers (who was a massive mainstream country pop music star in the latter half of the '70s and '80s, with occasional singles into the late '90s) singing that acid rock song during the hallucination that ended with "The Dude" running from the police cruisers.

Another thing that I rarely see commented on is the fact that a good deal of The Dude's dialogue is just repeating things he heard other people say earlier. From a George Bush speech on the radio up to and including the threat to cut off someone's Johnson.

That's true, and I think it's very thematic to the film. The Dude doesn't really have any original thoughts, he can only regurgitate what is around him. Notice his inability to convey any new idea in the limo.

Other great Coen brothers films to see; Raising Arizona, Fargo, Hudsucker Proxy, and my favorite, Miller's Crossing.

Not many people talk about Miller's Crossing when recommending Coen movies. It is one of their best but takes a couple of watches to comprehend the plot.

I HIGHLY recommend "Fargo". It's got some darker humor but is a similar story of a crime that gets way out of control. Starring William Macy, Frances McDormand, Steve Buscemi (who played "Donnie" in this) and some other actors you may recognize.

Now I suggest the romance movies that she presented including Overboard (1987), Blast from the Past (1999), It Could Happen to You (1994), Fools Rush In (1997), The American President (1995) and Return to Me (2000). #MoreRomanceMoviesForAddieCounts

Also, I was hoping Addie would get to be a Poppies presenter this year, so I'm glad to hear this revelation. It'll be another thing to look forward to when I finally get enough free time to watch it later this week.

I wouldn't say Larry's place on Radford is _near_ the In-N-Out, but it at least gets you in the right part of North Hollywood. It's at least a half mile away.

The Cohen Brothers have a brilliant knack for creating cult classics like this. Definitely check out Raising Arizona and O Brother Where Art Thou.
