I tend to like these "types" of films (whatever they are)... I loved Donnie Darko and Napoleon Dynamite to no end.

Saw nothing appealing in The Big L. /shrug

try sticking with Napleon Dynamite. That overhyped movie is nice and slow...no in between the lines, metaphors, similies or allegories...just plain non-interpreted stupidity.

Jesus Quintana: You ready to be f*cked, man? I see you rolled your way into the semis. Dios mio, man. Liam and me, we're gonna f**k you up.

The Dude: Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Nihilist: We believe in nothing, Lebowski. Nothing. And tomorrow we come back and we cut off your chonson.
The Dude: Excuse me?
Nihilist: I said
[shouting]
Nihilist: "We'll cut off your johnson"!
Nihilist: Just you think about that, Lebowski.
Nihilist: Yeah, your wiggly penis, Lebowski.
Nihilist: Yeah and maybe we stomp on it and squoosh it, Lebowski.

I thought it was stupid the first time I watched it. But the second time, I simply laughed my ass off. The movie is like a fine wine - better with age. :)

Those Germans crack me up EVERY time. :)

not sure i got it 100% right, but it still makes me smile and laugh when i think about that part of the movie. Although, jesus cleaning his balls is very funny too. I have played a drinking game to this movie that is quite rough. Take a drink every time they say "dude" and drink a white russian every time the dude drinks one. If you have a tolerance and want to get smashed...do it to every swear word. That makes it almost as bad as the Top Gun call-sign drinking game :x

Great movie.

The OP should stick to humor that's aimed at a, well, "more simple" audience.

Yeah because bowlers getting drunk, high, and dealing with kidnappers the way mentally retarded people would is above me.. yeah, that's it. I DID find it funny, you misphrased your little zinger there, I just didn't get the whole popularity of it.
