That dude was in the Wayne version too I think and I don't really know what his deal was supposed to be
he was insane
I think it was trying to highlight the brutality of territory life
It contrasted with how the city had law and courts and such
Out in the wilderness the only value in a life was in how much a person's individual body parts were worth
We were talking about the guy who made animal noises

My thought was "When did LeBeef kill a fucking bear?!"
And then Rooster answered my thought with, "You are not LeBeef" and I just fucking lost it.
Also, Animal Noises was Ned's brother I think. And I would guess he was In The Book, so that's why he was there. I'm going to have to read the book now. I want to see how well written Mattie is.

The way they portrayed him I couldn't tell if he was batshit crazy, or mentally disabled. He just struck me as a poor attempt at comic relief and was the only thing in the movie that didn't work for me. Which is very, very minor.
pretty much
although I did like that he was the first person to get shot
Interestingly enough after seeing the movie I'd have to say that it wasn't really the plot that made the movie at all, but the characters. Every single character was great, and I really like the portrayal of the 'evil' characters, but I just wish they had done a little bit more with the 'main' evil guy (can't remember names), Bear Man, and Crazy man. I thought Ned was pretty well done, but those three I wish so much they had done a little bit more with.
Movie was good though.

Best comedy of 2010.

The courtroom scene was a riot.

I would put this as my #3 movie of the year behind Inception and The Social Network.
But that's not to take anything away from it, there have been a lot of years it could have been #1 easily.

I just saw this. It was a lot funnier than I'd expected. Jeff Bridges continues to amaze me in everything he does.
I really liked the contrast between LaBeef and Rooster. You got LaBeef how I saw as this guy who was trying to be the ideal, stereotypical Texas Ranger, and you better not mess with him and all that. He had a few lines where I thought he was definitely trying to kinda make himself look better to the other two, keep up this image of the "Texas Ranger". And here's Rooster who's supposed to be kind of a good guy but he's got that dark streak to him. Not sure if he's got what it takes but then he goes and shoots a piece of cornbread in the air with his one eye. Really enjoyed the juxtaposition.
And Mattie was rad as balls, I hope we see more of her in other films.
I can't really articulate why I didn't like this movie
It felt very...competent, but nothing blew me away
I guess I'll have to watch it again on video

It was great to see Jeff Bridges in this movie, because Tron was so terribly shitty.

I thought it was great but wondered if the Dude had to do so much cussin'
the dude abides
The Dude abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners. Shoosh. I sure hope he makes the finals.
This movie is pretty awesome. Definitley got the Coen Bros. treatment and is very differant from the original in tone, but almost word for word in dialogue in places. Both movies are excellent, I prefer the original but probably only because I saw that first, everyone should watch both films

We were really hoping he'd turn up again at the end of the movie to
".... is that a fucking bear?"
And then Rooster answered my thought with, "You are not LeBeef" and I just fucking lost it.

Maybe I'm just getting crotchety, but holy fuck were people annoying during this movie.
I don't need to know that the guy walking to the cabin at night is probably LeBeef. I don't care if "that sure wasn't good". STFU, people.
This would have been tits.

seriously when the OP said 35 minutes of jeff bridges ripping apart matt damon, I think he meant 35 minutes of jeff bridges mumbling like an old man.

Why I fear the ocean.
The term video is generally used as a euphemism for movies coming out for home consumption
hence "digital video disc" or "video home system"
I do not know this ISO.
Does DVD officially stand for Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc?
The latter seems to make more sense by Wikipedia says both and I can't be bothered to do any further research.
I've heard it called video disk more than versatile disk though
I really wish I dug The Big Lebowski as much as pretty much everyone ever
I like the movie
I just ain't think it is spectacular
