3 things I noticed...

sorotomotor@reddit

The Dude's sayings are repeated from things other characters have said.

PRESIDENT BUSH: This aggression, this aggression will not stand.
THE DUDE: This aggression will not stand, man!

WALTER: There's no fucking reason his wife should owe money all over town
THE DUDE: She owes money all over town

MAUDE: ...nor that she has been banging Jackie Treehorn, to use the parlance of our times.
THE DUDE: ...a young trophy wife, in the parlance of our times

BIG LEBOWSKI: By God sir, I will not abide another toe!
THE DUDE: Yeah well...the Dude abides.

Where is the fucking money, Lebowski!

enaud@reddit

That's the Coen Brother's trademark comedy style, they do it in a lot of their movies

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Any suggestions as what to watch from coens?

[-]

enaud@reddit

All of them https://www.imdb.com/list/ls062175275/

O brother where art thou? The hudsucker proxy and Fargo are all good examples of the offbeat, throwback writing that we are discussing here

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Super helpful thank you! I've never seen either! I'm going to try and find now, thanks ❤️

[-]

enaud@reddit

What are you doing on reddit then?! you have some movies to watch!

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Watching No Country for old men right now! I fkn amazing so far!! At the part the pitbull chases Brolin down the river.

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

OMG!! My late moms favorite movie! Oh man I hope I can find it and watch it as an adult lol that's Coen bros?

[-]

prof-p00py-butt@reddit

No Country for Old Men, Fargo, Hail Caesar!, and Burn After Reading. You gotta feed the monkey!

[-]

PotusChrist@reddit

Hail, Ceasars! is such an underappreciated gem

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Ok Burn after Reading is gold! I'm the only person I know who likes it, facists lol

[-]

billster_ny@reddit

AUTOBAHN: We going to cut off your Johnson The Dude (to Larry): We’re gonna cut off your dick

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Who me? Im a woman lol am i doing something wrong? Are we only allowed to share one-liners?

[-]

tophlove31415@reddit

They are teasing you because the things you noticed have been noticed and brought up in this sub before.

Personally I think it's great when people watch movies intently (especially ones like this with great messages). You noticed something new for you, which I think is cool. Who cares if its already been posted here. I'd rather see somebody's excitement over this movie and their new thoughts than watch a circle jerk over a photo that looks vaguely like a vulva.

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Oh im sorry about that, ha! At first I wasnt even sure this was a reddit for the Dude! Some weird,.completely irrelevant posts made - or maybe that was just the shit ads to ruin any good day. I've watched the movie half a dozen times lately so all these little things are coming to light, my thinking about this case has become very uptight!

[-]

Dr_Middlefinger@reddit

Oh please, dear?

For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint.

[-]

Key-Contest-2879@reddit

“Who cares if it’s already been posted”?

She can fucking UNPOST IT!!!

[-]

Analog_Hobbit@reddit

Unfortunately. Sometimes we will get an actual discussion.

[-]

fishbone_buba@reddit

But it’s pretty rare. It’s mostly a sub dedicated repeating one-liners for fun or uploading photos depicting the vaginal form. That one fireplace in particular.

But yeah, well, that’s just, like, my opinion, man.

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

The one liners have made me laugh over and over again! I'm a true joy addict, I wish there were 10 big lebowski movies, but it wouldn't be as pure and valuable!

[-]

laaazlo@reddit

They made me laugh to beat the band as well.

O Brother Where Art Thou doesn't have the same cult following as TBL but it's one of my personal favorites, if you haven't seen it

[-]

fishbone_buba@reddit

People like that reform. Hey, maybe we should get us some!

[-]

CaptainMurphy1908@reddit

Do you find the female form offensive?

[-]

fishbone_buba@reddit

Does it make me uncomfortable?

[-]

Rondo27@reddit

Are we going to split hairs here?

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Lol,.hey I tried. I feel like people who 'get' this movie are my kind of people, friends are hard to come by in my little world lol 😆

[-]

Key-Contest-2879@reddit

Yes, sadly standards in movie bantering have fallen.

jose_elan@reddit

'Who the fuck is this guy?' is a one liner from the movie.....everything is a fucking travesty with you man.

[-]

Dave-1066@reddit

Were you listening to the film’s story?! Then you have no frame of reference here. You’re like a child who wander’s into the…

[-]

blueElk_@reddit

Your not wrong, you are just an asshole.

[-]

2wheelsThx@reddit

We never know for sure what Maude's doctor friend, who is a good man, and thurrah, did to The Dude to make him so happy on his drive home. Other than, ya know, uh lower his shorts, man.

[-]

Clear_Water2089@reddit

Maude wanted a baby. I've always assumed the Dude was checked for swimmers.

[-]

The_Bisexual@reddit

I always assumed the Dude received the good news of good health.

[-]

2wheelsThx@reddit

Yes, yes! That is my thinking, too, but what exactly did the good doctor, ya know, "do"?

[-]

AdhesivenessNo1216@reddit

I always thought the Dude’s STD tests came back clean

[-]

Clear_Water2089@reddit

Dude got milked. 🤣

[-]

v_allen75@reddit

My theory is that dude isn’t actually on the team. They are two man teams

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

OH!!!!!

[-]

Wildcat_Dunks@reddit

It's Donny who wasn't on the team. Donny was just an imaginary frenemy that Walter concocted to cope with the trauma he suffered in Nam. The Dude understands that Walter is fragile and indulges Walter's need to berate his imaginary friend in order to feel like he has control in an uncertain world.

[-]

v_allen75@reddit

The mental gymnastics required to make this theory work nullify it for me

[-]

Wildcat_Dunks@reddit

You know, fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, limber.

[-]

v_allen75@reddit

I’ve found a hole in my theory that “unresolves” a hole in the plot. The hole that’s the only valid argument for Donny not existing.

[-]

amarap16@reddit

Jackie Treehorn’s thugs swapped clothes between visits to the Dude’s house.

jessewoolmer@reddit

One of the most fun little hidden gems I recently discovered is that when Maude plays Bunny's porno film, Logjammin, the movie is distributed by "**Warner Home Video**", which is NOT a porno company, but rather a major Hollywood motion picture studio (it's the home video division of Warner Bros). **Logjammin box pic**

The Big Lebowski was distributed by Universal Pictures, Warner's biggest rival. The Coen Brothers putting a WHV logo on the porno flick was very subtle dig by the Coen Brothers that Warner's movies are akin to cheap, sh*tty smut.

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Interesting! Are there any other Coen movies that rival the Big lebowski?

[-]

jessewoolmer@reddit

IMO, all of their movies are incredible. Unlike a lot of directors who tend to focus on one genre, the Coen Brothers are pretty versatile. Their movies range from comedy to noir to thrillers, and any mix thereof.

Personal favorites of mine, in no particular order; are The Big Lebowski, No Country for Old Men, Fargo, Inside Llewyn Davis, True Grit, Raising Arizona, and Burn After Reading. To be honest, they’re all great. But if you haven’t seen the ones I mentioned above, start there.

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Best comment ever!! Thank you ❤️

[-]

SomeWatercress4813@reddit

I grew up with O Brother Where Art Thou and it's so so good. Raising Arizona is high up there too. And Fargo of course.

[-]

Claymore_79@reddit

Lotta ins and outs, dude.

Jack Warner. Jackie? OMG.

[-]

Key_Country3756@reddit

It’s true standards have fallen.

[-]

UnWiseDefenses@reddit

Which one's Battlefield Earth?

[-]

_WillCAD_@reddit

We never see whether Da Fino figured out where Bunny was and told her parents.

We never found out why Dude hates the fuckin' Eagles, man.

We never saw whether Dude got another car.

We never found out what happened to the real ransom money (it's assumed TBL stole it but never confirmed).

We never found out where Dude gets his money.

[-]

ChokeOnDeezNutz69@reddit

An earlier script had the Dude being the heir to the creator of the rubix cube. But it didn’t make the compromised later drafts. The Coen’s felt it was better left untold and open to interpretation

[-]

melodeath31@reddit

But then again, I happened to know theres a little lebowski on the way. I guess thats how the human comedy keeps perpetuating itself. Westwards the wagons across the sands of time...

[-]

mandiblesofdoom@reddit

You're rambling again

[-]

ChemistryBig4484@reddit

It doesn't make sense that the bag they threw was "a ringer for a ringer". I mean, why wouldn't the dude have looked in the briefcase when he got it to verify that the money was in there? It doesn't make sense. The story is ludicrous.

[-]

gattboy1@reddit

When and where did Walter snag an Uzi? He was Pacific theater his whole time, it can be assumed, and that’s strictly a Med cruise souvenir.

[-]

gattboy1@reddit

We’ll never know what Jackie slipped into The Dude’s Caucasian.

Only Cosby knows for sure, I’m told.

[-]

leducdeguise@reddit

The J falling on the counter from the Dude's pocket as he takes change out to pay for his coffee in the family restaurant

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Omg no way! I will have to look for that lol

[-]

Over_Sand7935@reddit

Yeah I've missed that too.

[-]

leducdeguise@reddit

New shit has come to light for you, Dude

[-]

Danimal1002@reddit

The Dude hates the Eagles, man. The song playing during the Jesus montage is an Eagles’ song… in Spanish.

[-]

Marlbey@reddit

That's not a Pomeranian.

[-]

dcbluestar@reddit

Or a marmot.

[-]

mclms1@reddit

I still jerk off manually , jerk off.

yyz505a@reddit

Of course you do

How you gonna keep ‘em down on the farm once they've seen Karl Hungus?

[-]

CowPrestigious8447@reddit

Pretty sure Larry stole Dude's car. He's got evidence man. We know it's his fuckin homework!

[-]

DreadoftheDead@reddit

Shut the fuck up, Donny

[-]

vhmike@reddit

I like playing "Where's the J" while the Dude reads the ransom letter while in seclusion with the Big L in the west wing. Slight editing inconsistency there.

[-]

marbotty@reddit

No funny stuff

[-]

BrilliantWeb@reddit

I think we know Larry stole the Dude's car. How else did his homework get in there?

I would have liked a little more of DaFino. Wandering daughter job.

[-]

maloside@reddit

From his homeless teacher's bag/pocket

[-]

TuckerThaTruckr@reddit

The check the Dude writes in the Ralphs is dated 9-11-1991

[-]

maloside@reddit

foreshadowing the next bush aggression, and the towers which did not stand (a chance)

[-]

prebsol@reddit

and The Dude is in every scene.

[-]

Calitexutamonter@reddit

In his dream, Maude bowls the dude.

[-]

rounding_error@reddit

We never see Walter's home. Unless he lives in his shop.

[-]

caddy45@reddit

I love when he’s trying to get change to pay for his coffee and he has a roach in with his change he throws out on the counter.

I applaud the level of detail put into the movie, It is so on brand that the Dude have a roach in his pocket.

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

💯!!!

[-]

Lazyboyn97@reddit

Am I misremembering or does he roll in the dream sequence?

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Time to watch again lol!

[-]

KarlPHungus@reddit

Here's one. I just noticed this on my last watch. Maude is the only person who calls The Dude "Mr. Lebowski, Jeffrey," etc and he doesn't correct her.

[-]

sdavidson0819@reddit

I think he does try to correct her once, but she either doesn't hear/understand or pretends as much. Fuckin interesting that he doesn't insist on it

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Ya I think he's overwhelmed but the nudity lmao

[-]

Key-Contest-2879@reddit

Well, she is his fucking lady friend.

[-]

Flora_Screaming@reddit

She's not his special lady friend, he's just trying to help her conceive, man!

[-]

pm_me_flowers_please@reddit

Don't be fatuous, Jeffery.

[-]

Ok_Television9820@reddit

Everything with Walter is a travesty.

[-]

blaspheminCapn@reddit

Am I wrong?

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Calmer than you are.

[-]

blaspheminCapn@reddit

Smokey my friend, you're entering a world of pain.

[-]

BikeChi1976@reddit

Dude never got his rug back, which is all he wanted in this whole mystifying story

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Right! Well they just pissed on it, i dont think they took it. Or do you mean the new rug from Big mr. Lebowski

[-]

the_uberdork@reddit

The team rolled their way into the semis. And Walter freaked out when the dude threatened to leave the team. I think we can assume the dude is a worthy adversary.
Larry's homework was found in the dude's car. Make of that what you will.
What are you, a fucking family counselor now?

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Lol!! I just think it's fascinating how this movie was written. Curious if there were facets of the storey that didn't make it to screen.

[-]

Zestyclose_Ad4631@reddit

the Dude never rolls a joint

[-]

Optimal_Tangerine_67@reddit (OP)

Interesting!!!!

Historical_Boss_1184@reddit

Shit, man, she ratio’d herself

[-]

imaginatipo@reddit

Obviously you’re not a golfer.

[-]

Flora_Screaming@reddit

The one that always got me was the 'Brother Shamus' line. I know Lebowski is supposed to be a kind of homage to Raymond Chandler but I'm sure hardly anyone watching would know that a Shamus was a detective back in those days. It's a funny line but probably wasted on most people.

[-]

billorphus@reddit

Jesus is smuggling a salami in his pants when he goes to let his neighbors know he's a pederast! Check out as he's walking through the gate!

[-]

GFAM_VF_NWI@reddit

The end of this scene....

A notable subtlety....

The foreshadowing of this pair, alluded to in Dude's car as we see the cops finally responding to Smokey's toe slipping over a little, by Walter who is clearly calmer than Dude - post-contientious objector says: "We got O'Brian and Quintana next week - should be pushovers..."

That kraut at the league office knows I'm Shomer Shabbos....

Salami man comes in hot....fucking pederast....

HEY! HEY! WHAT'S THIS BULLSHIT? WHAT'S THIS DAY O' REST SHIT? I DON FUCKIN' CARE!! IT DON'T MATTA TO JESUS!

You may fool the FUCKS in the league office, but you can't feel Jesus. Liam and me, we gonna FUCK YOU UP. SATADAY! Next Wednesday instead.

WOOO! YOU GOTTA DATE WEDNESDAY, BABY!! (humps the air walking away)

Immediately following Jesus' air hump ( Baby!!!) Liam gives us what I call the "push-over" ... He looks nervous but emboldened and trying to Milk Toast for the Jesus' Salami as he looks at Jesus then the fellas smugly, and as Jesus gives the most dramatic air hump Liam just ever-so -gently shifts his weight as if he considered mimicking Jesus but pussed out. .. I think they rehearsed it and while that creep can roll his hips ....O'Brian was a pushover
