I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish.

"MARK IT ZERO", screams a gun toting Walter to his bowling opponent, who Walter claims stepped over the line by mere centimeters. Begrudgingly, the "zero" is marked down and Walter, very calmly & innocently, puts his gun away and says, "It's a league game", with a complete belief and justification for his over the top action.
This is the theme of the very funny film, "The Big Lebowski". It's an over the top film where bad guys pee on rugs, innocent people get faces shoved in toilets, women have their pinky toe (with green nail polish) cut off, where a pederast named Jesus tries to win a bowling title, Sam Elliot is the narrator, and Donny is always told to "shut the f*ck up".
The Coen Brothers are to thank for this huge cult hit. Their star, the dude, is quite possibly the laziest man in the world and is desperately trying to be reimbursed for his pee soaked rug. He is then thrown into a world of 2nd rate porn, fake kidnappings, nihilist, dinky biting marmots, Walter's constant Vietnam War rants, and an eccentric painter wanting his baby. It's no wonder the dude's diet mostly consists of white Russians and marijuana.
All the characters are memorable and gel excellently with one another, despite their major flaws and idiosyncrasies. Props to John Goodman and Jeff Bridges for their portrayals of Walter and the Dude. They made a great match together with their constant bickering and flinging of F bombs. Also to John Tuturro for being on screen less than five minutes, yet capturing one of the most funny and memorable character in a long while.
I was expecting more from the DVD, such as behind the scenes, or a directors/actors commentary. None of that was included. Hopefully one day, but in the meantime it's a pleasure to sit back and watch this funny film over and over.
