The Dude: You're not wrong Walter. You're just an asshole. ¶ There are so many choice lines and scenes from The Big Lebowski but the aforementioned gets me every time. Like many things I enjoy today, I didn't enjoy this at first. But it only took a few more viewings for me to get into the character of The Dude. He's the unexpected anti-hero for the 1990s. And unlike Hud, the anti-hero for the 1960s, The Dude has apathy holding him back, not pride. With both, though, you're conflicted, and this is part of the fun. And with quite possibly Philip Seymour-Hoffman's best and funniest supporting role, I could watch this noir riff epic many times a year. ¶ I recently crossed the 25,000 views threshold over on my flickr photostream. I've been grateful for the feedback and inspiration I've found over on flickr.
