      @@herr5262 Which reinforces one of the rules of nature that I think explains so much about political science and culture: most people are stupid! But I was also talking about just those 2 actors in general. Buscemi and Goodman are two of my favorite actors ever. If I see their name on a film (with the exception of extended toy commercials masquerading as movies, i.e., Transformers) I always give it a look because they can make anything interesting. They are also great actors because unlike a lot of actors, they can play all sorts of different characters. BTW, you probably know this but Big Lebowski is (among other things) an adaptation of scenes and characters from Raymond Chandler's novels like The Big Sleep with The Dude as Philip Marlow.

    John Goodman is the rare actor who, no matter what I’ve seen him in, is always magnificent. I can not think of a single performance he’s done that wasn’t perfectly entertaining.

    The 1972 film Bad Company (co-starring Jeff Bridges and David Huddleston, both of the Jeff Lebowskis) is one of my favorites. I wish Jeff would talk more about it, but I'm glad he at least mentioned it.

    What an amazing interview! That movie is one great scene after another. I’m never waiting for another scene to start, they’re just all equally great. Perfect Movie!

    When the Dude finally tries to do some serious investigative work, running the pencil over Jackie's notepad. Yep that's when I knew this movie was legendary.

    The thing I really love about the film is the astonishing detail which makes it possible to watch and rewatch and still find new things to enjoy. The way the story vaguely resolves but not in the typical clear cut way. Genius stuff.

      Fans of TBL need to know about Dave MacDowell, man.
