I’m just gonna go find a cash machine.
My husband has a marked resemblance to Jeff Bridges. Our bowling team’s name is Mark It Zero.
I don’t think anyone in the league gets it. Philistines.
“Nihilists! Fuck me! I mean, say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.”

They’re a bunch of ***king amateurs.
We thought about calling ourselves “Don’t fuck with the Jesus” but didn’t think the league would go for it.
“Do you have to use so many cuss words?”

Could you please keep your voices down? This is a family message board.
For your information - the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint!
Are they younger? Like the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers? They may not know about having to score bowling themselves.
Now that would be a phenomenal team name!
Stranger
Yes, and how proud we are of all of them.
Shit yeah! The Achievers!
It doesn’t have quite the same ring without Julianne Moore’s droll delivery.

There is some interesting casting here. There are three musicians in bit parts - Jimmy Dale Gilmore as Smokey, Flea as one of the nihilists, and Aimee Mann as a nihilist girlfriend (who gafe up her toe - iss not faaair!!). I wonder how they got those parts.
Liam (Jesus Quintana’s bowling partner) was apparently played by a crew member with no acting experience, after the Coens decided he had the right look.
Exactly! See, that’s why you need to know the story so things like, “I’ll suck yer cock of a thousand dollars” is both funny and makes sense in this 90’s post LA Noir retelling.
Damn, now I want to read it again.
Yes, Jim Hoosier, and I’ve read that they purposefully put him into a too-small polo shirt. He died a few years ago.
