This movie was majorly panned when it came out. I remember loving it in the theater and not understanding why it wasn't getting props. It was so obviously genius. Plus, there is much music nerdery therein. How about the eagles rant in the taxi. Unbelievable.

"What kind of car does the Dude drive?"
anyone?
It's brownish, rust colored.
ha ha, leads.
Same as Starsky and Hutch and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law: the Almighty Ford Torino.
Lil' dude exotica question: Which LP is that Henry Mancini track that plays during the mansion scene from? Lovely strings'n'latin action right there.
"Lujon"
Well, I know that's the name of the song, but I was looking for the Mancini LP it first appeared on. Thanks to a google pointer to O-Dub's blog, I just found out it was "Mr. Lucky Goes Latin".
The Dude: These are, uh... Brandt: Oh, those are Mr Lebowski's children, so to speak. The Dude: Different mothers, huh? Brandt: No. The Dude: Racially he's pretty cool? Brandt: [laughs] They're not literally his children. They're the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers...
three pages of comments and not one mention of creedence tapes??
The Dude: Do you find them much, these, stolen cars? Younger Cop: Sometimes. Wouldn't hold out much hope for the tape deck though. Older Cop: Or the Creedence.
anyone ever hear about the planned Jesus Quintana spinoff movie??
Latest is a comment made by the Coens in the July 2004 issue of Empire magazine: "John [Turturro] wants to do it. We could call it The Passion of the Jesus, so now would be a good time.

I have long held that like the Phillip Marlowe books that the film is in homage to, the main characters(and certainly some of the brief ones as well) from the Big Lebowski are strong enough to base more adventures on. While it could easily be a huge dissapointment, another episode in the Dude's and Walter's life could be fun. 2 hours of The Jesus....the mind reels.
oh man i just remembered another favorite part, when the porn business guy jots down a note on his notepad while talking on the phone. when he goes to the other room, lebowski shades in the notepad in pencil to reveal what the message was..and its a naked dude..and he keeps the paper in his wallet only to be discovered by that sherrif dude that kicks his ass. awesome.

I bought the "unofficial soundtrack" on the Lebowski Fest site a few years back. Here are the links. Pardon the various glitches & skips as this has been played to death. The soundbites & what-have-yous more than make up for it. If you want a thorough copy, you can probably still get one for 5 bones or clams, to use the parlance of our times. Enjoy!

It's brownish, rust colored.
Walter Sobchak: Dude, this is a league game, this determines who enters the next round robin. Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
Smokey: Yeah, but I wasn't over. Gimme the marker Dude, I'm marking it 8.
Walter Sobchak: [pulls out a gun] Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
The Dude: Walter...
Walter Sobchak: You mark that frame an 8, and you're entering a world of pain.
Smokey: I'm not...
Walter Sobchak: A world of pain.
Smokey: Dude, he's your partner...
Walter Sobchak: [shouting] Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules? Mark it zero!
The Dude: They're calling the cops, put the piece away.
Walter Sobchak: Mark it zero!
[points gun in Smokey's face]
The Dude: Walter...
Walter Sobchak: [shouting] You think I'm fucking around here? Mark it zero!
Smokey: All right, it's fucking zero. Are you happy, you crazy fuck?
Walter Sobchak: ...It's a league game, Smokey.

"Is there a Ralph's around here?"

did anybody buy or download the soundtrack?
not one Credence song on it.
i wish they'd have put The Monks on there, too.
favorite subtle lebowski moments:
Dude slapping the roof of his car to Bad Moon (this is pretty much mandatory if this song comes on and you are in a car)
Eating In & Out Burger to Oye Como Va after getting his window smashed out (I kill YOUR fucking car man!!!!)
Autobahn
