Not the first time I’ll have seen the movie of course. But a local theater Screenland is showing it the final friday of each month. Apparently attendees are prone to arriving dressed as a character from the movie. They serve alcohol there, so White Russians will be in great supply. This theater is great because one (or more, I don’t recall) row of seats are cushy La-Z-Boy type seats that recline ALL the way back, so it pays to arrive early. 
Just don’t micturate anyplace inappropriate.
Have a great time, Dudereeno!*
- I’m not into the brevity thing
I hear those seats really tie the room together.
Well…that’s, like, your opinion, man!
I’ve been there, it’s pretty cool. They sometimes latch onto a movie and play it for ages, seeming to say “HEY! You missed this when it was in the theaters, SEE IT NOW!” They played The Prizewinner of Defiance Ohio for weeks and weeks and weeks, long after it left the regular theaters. I think they even had a money-back guarantee for it. I was there on a visit (wheras my husband works in Kansas City) and I think we saw Good Night and Good Luck, and we did sit in the recliners (there’s a whole row of them). He’s down there now. I’ll tell him about this. I’d love to see The Big Lebowski in the theater again.
I don’t know about you but I take comfort in that.
I saw it once at the Red Vic on Haight. They were showing it April 20th at 4:20 and 7pm. We went to the 7pm show and then went to Murio’s Trophy Room, a dive bar across the street. We walked up and ordered four White Russians, and the bartender had this extremely confused/exasperated face as he turned around to make the drinks. The guys who were sitting at the bar in front of us asked us if we went to see Lebowski, and then said, “Yeah, we went to the earlier show… we had to go buy cream for the bar.”
What, they didn’t have any Coffee Mate?
I loved White Russians (with cream, not Coffee Mate, thank you) before the movie came out. The Dude’s love of White Russians made me love him even more.
Have a sarsaparilla while you watch.
Blond Treehorn Thug: [holding up a bowling ball] What the fuck is this?
The Dude: Obviously you’re not a golfer.
Is it the tenth already? Right on.
Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man!
This agression will not stand.
Jurph, you’re out of your element!
I’m jealous. I missed it in the theatres.
My favorite character is the Folger’s can.
Have a great time, but, whatever you do, dont go over the line!
Damn. I work in the Crossroads but I don’t get off work until 10:30.
And I can’t get off early. My job is not 'Nam. There are rules.
(It’s not bowling, either.)
Nice marmot.
Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, but at least it was an ethos.
That reminds me: I’m going to the DMV tomorrow and I think I’m going to pay the extra $46 for a vanity plate. So if you see a gray Mazda 3 with Kansas plates that say “NCEMRMT”, wave hi to me.
