Uhhh, not by a longshot. I like Kingpin, of course, but the humor requires the bare minimum of thought. Can't really call it clever, which is what I like about Farrely Bros.


Big Lebowski is an incredible flick for what it is--noir meet hippie satire. As much as I love it, I've never had a desire to attend a Lebowski Fest.

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

That's interesting man. That's fucking interesting. You see, you just didn't fucking get it. Also, Kingpin is an entirely fucking different kind of comedy. You're out of your element.

To put it into perspective, the audience WALKED OUT when it was screened at a film festival. They were offended into missing a work of genius, AND THAT'S PART OF THE FUCKING JOKE!

Forget about the fuckin' toe. You want a toe? I'LL GET YOU A FUCKIN' TOE!

Would you just calm down, man?

Walter calms down when they cede the point. You must've seen the "world of pain" coming.

The Dude: You're not wrong Walter. You're just an asshole.

Walter Sobchak: Okay then.

Everything's a fuckin' travesty with you, man!

We all have our downfalls.

Beyond pacifism?

I voted for Mccain.

Well look at our situation with those camel fuckers in Iraq.

I liked the movie, i appreciate the characters and Lebowski's totally contrasting attitude in it (which was hilarious), but I just don't get why people love it SOOO much. Maybe it's better if I get not-sober and watch it again.
