'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Guardian Article on Dudeism: Religion and the Big Lebowski:
I have got to read this:
Andrew Rabin's A Once and Future Dude: The Big Lebowski as Medieval Grail-Quest. (For rug, he suggests, read grail: "a lost fetish object" that unifies the mundane and the divine, or "ties the room together".)
What's a good subtitle or tagline from a third movie in a series?
"...but that is not this day. This day we fight!" ?
Guardian Article on Dudeism: Religion and the Big Lebowski:
That is awesome! Now I want to see about getting ordained in the Church of the Latter Day Dude.
wrod.
"The magic is back again!"
No?
I'm actually totally blank. My favourite sequel tagline is #2--"12 is the new 11."
Dudeism sounds seriously cool.
A conscientiously articulated doctrine rather than merely a gag, Dudeism counts among its philosophical forebears Taoism, Zen Buddhism, American transcendentalism and humanism, and among its individual models of living Heraclitus, Walt Whitman and Snoopy. The movement offers equivalents of Old Testament lore, in the form of four books of Duderonomy and the Tao Te Ching, reworked verse by verse as the Dude De Ching. Lao Tzu's "For worship of Tao and honour of love/Are performed by being alive", for instance, becomes "For abiding and honouring The Dude/Are performed by not being a fucking asshole".
Finally, a religion for our times.
Yeah, I keep coming up with sequels.
I'm just looking for an email subject line for my film author (for the third set of reviews).
It's possible I overthink things.
Haaaaaa.
(I laugh because I completely understand that, megan.)
I got one for you, megan: Alien³: The bitch is back.
