I’d say that the only way this movie could possibly work is if it were only about Jesus, and didn’t feature any of the opther cast members. We’ve seen the Dude’s world. We’re done with that; this should be something wholly new.
Not that I would inflict hideous tortures on small innocent kittens to see a new movie about the Dude. I mean, it’s the Dude. He abides. Need I say more?
I didn’t think so.
Take a closer look at John Turturro’s jeans as he’s walking through the chain link gate (when John Goodman is explaining that he had to register as a sex offender).
:eek:
jehovah68– that’s a bag of birdseed in there. Really.
I’d be up for a Cohen Bros. movie about the Jesus. Everything they do has such a high degree of intertextuality with everything else that they do, that an out-right sequel might work out just fine.
As for him being a pederast, I agree-- Walter may well be misinterpreting things, he’s pretty off the wall. I expect that a movie built around Jesus will treat him a lot more sympathetically – and depending on whether the action is intended to take place before or after the events of The Big Lebowski, we may come to find out that his reputation as a sex offender is brought about by as a result of a comic adventure.
In the right hands, it could work. It sounds doubtful, but hell… Il Mostro turned out to be freaking hilarious.
I still wonder if Walter could have really gotten a toe.
That’s a good question.
I think it’s possible he was going to fake one; maybe make one out of clay or something, in order to distract the bad guys for a few seconds so he could gain the upper hand somehow. This, in all probability, would have led to further hijinks.
Seems as likely to me as anything. I mean, this is Walter friggin’ Sobchak we’re talking about, here. I mean, ya know? This aggression will not stand, man!
I could really do with some loganberry pancakes this morning.
That is one of the most disturbingly sexy scenes I’ve ever watched, and so perfectly scored to that cover of “Hotel California.”
“This is not about the Chinaman dude…Shut the fuck up, Donny! This is about drawing a line in the sand, across which you… do… not … oh, and Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-american, please.”
And any other scene in which W. Sopchak becomes flustered.
“Dude, tomorrow’s already the 10th…”
“Far out, man”
I neglected to mention that I’ve taken a fancy to, when angered at an associate or friend, yell at them “You’re killing your father!”
“You can imagine what happens next.”
“He fixes their cable?”
“Don’t be fatuous, Mr Lebowski.”
YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!!! I never find such great lebowski fans… (I’m new here.)
What about a list of all repeated phrases in the movie? I’ll start with “you see what happens?” (blonde thug from early scene/walter)
Hey! There’s a beverage here!
Ever thus to deadbeats, Lebowski.
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
Wait, what’d you say?
Leads? Yeah I’ll check with the boys down at the crime lab. They got four more detectives on the case. They got us working in shifts! Leads. Hahahahahahaha! “Leads” hahahahaha
Cop 1: I’m not so sure about the briefcase.
Cop 2: Or the Creedence.
Walter: Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, at least it’s an ethos.
Okay, I better stop before I spew random “Lebowski” quotes for hours on end. I’d pay to see a Jesus movie. The Coens can do no wrong.
How’s this for a ressurrection? 
Not a Coen sequel, but John Turturro directs himself as his Jesus Quintana character in a remake of Bertrand Blier’s Les Valseuses (1974)
Could come out this year, look at that sweet cast. Going Places (2017) Sad to say, but even remaking a 43-year old subversive French comedy, they might have to fight tooth and nail to get proper U.S. distribution, or for that matter to use this thread’s title as the tagline.
This thread is now too old for Jesus.
No thread is too old for Jesus.
AM I WRONG??
Walter has remarried and divorced again and is now a practicing Buddhist.
Desire is the f****** root of suffering
