The plot is overly convoluted and ultimately unimportant. It's really more about watching The Dude and Co. get into various wacky situations.
The one scene that really sticks with me is The Dude and Walter emptying Donny's ashes out of a Folgers' can into the wind
And the wind blows it right back in their face
I've seen it all and I still don't know what happened
Besides that Sam Elliott narrated and was badass
Some may complain "The Big Lebowski'' rushes in all directions and never ends up anywhere. That isn't the film's flaw, but its style. The Dude, who smokes a lot of pot and guzzles White Russians made with half-and-half, starts every day filled with resolve, but his plans gradually dissolve into a haze of missed opportunities and missed intentions. Most people lead lives with a third act. The Dude lives days without evenings. The spirit is established right at the outset, when the narrator starts out well enough, but eventually confesses he's lost his train of thought.
I didn't say it was a bad thing
Just that I had no clue what really happened
It's like, they piss on his rug, and then Walter dives out of the car and shoots up some bystander's vehicle, and then the thing with Donny's ashes, and SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNY, and then the end
And it's fun as hell
But I have no clue what the fuck happened
Just clarifying in case someone started shrieking like I thought that the wandering plot was a bad thing
Not at all
I like that it's really just a bunch of wacky shit strung together by his quest for a rug
OK watch Rocky and then Rocky IV and watch the rest later
Back to the Future it's been too long, and I've never seen Godfather
Finish Superbad and then watch those two Rocky movies
Rocky IV is my favorite
Swordfights it gets so much better right after that
Seriously everything from that party on is pure gold
My friend Dave and I watched it so many times
Our standard greeting became "Hello...Mindy"
There are lots of threads to chat in. This thread is about the comic and the newspost. It is not the crazy funtime bullshit thread.
Does WW really need to be on topic? Is this a rule handed down from on high? I mean it seems like a very natural progression to go from talking about the comic to branching off into related areas of interest.

I take it posts like "gabes eyes panel 1" and "wow comic" also aren't cool for these threads?
I have an actual question though, I don't think anyone talked about it. The comic mentions a dongle as an anti-piracy device. Uh. What the hell is this referencing? I've never heard about some attachment that prevented (or attempted to) piracy.
A piece of hardware you have to connect to your computer in order to run certain software. Mostly used with expensive corporate software like CAD back in the day.

Quark XPress used to have one of those things back in the day. You connected it to the printer port and then connected the printer cable to it.
Yeah my mom used to do that. Mom loved the dongle.

My girlfriend has always had this weird fixation with dongling me, we tried attaching it once and I have to admit the power-exchange was interesting, but I don't think it's something I'm really compatible with.

I have seen most of it though, but missed just enough that I have no idea what happened during it
Besides that Sam Elliott narrated and was badass
what I saw was pretty amazing, I thought I had missed an important scene or something
it's just about a dude who wants his rug replaced

But I have no clue what the fuck happened
I missed the very beginning
so I came in having no idea why they were doing any of this

They pissed on his rug
It tied the whole room together
there are a great many films that are required viewing that I've just never gotten around to
Any rocky movie
Any Back to the Future Movie
Any of the Godfather movies
And I need to finish Superbad.
Back to the Future it's been too long, and I've never seen Godfather

I guess I'll get it off of Netflix now that I'm done making myself watch Superman Returns.
Though I've only seen up until he was putting beer in the laundry detergent bottles.
