    I wish I could say I've seen all of The Big Lebowski

    I have seen most of it though, but missed just enough that I have no idea what happened during it

    I've seen it all and I still don't know what happened
    Besides that Sam Elliott narrated and was badass

    The plot is overly convoluted and ultimately unimportant. It's really more about watching The Dude and Co. get into various wacky situations.

    the plot is actually very simple
    it's just about a dude who wants his rug replaced

    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

    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

    Any rocky movie
    Any Back to the Future Movie
    Any of the Godfather movies
    And I need to finish Superbad.

    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

    I thought Superbad looked dumb from the previews, but apparently it turned out to be fantastic.

    I guess I'll get it off of Netflix now that I'm done making myself watch Superman Returns.

    Superbad was definitely hilarious

    Though I've only seen up until he was putting beer in the laundry detergent bottles.

    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.

    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.
