Having just watched "The Big Lebowski" again (this time sober), I offer these observations:
1) Jeff Bridges is utterly convincing as a dedicated stoner....maybe too convincing;
2) Last good role for John Goodman?
3) Tara Reid has (or had) really sexy feet;
4) While I think the Coens are over-rated, TBL hits the mark (as does No Country and Miller's Crossing);
5) Fargo (the movie) sucks;
6) Fargo (the movie and the town) really, really suck;
7) Who among us, really, does not yearn to be The Dude, at least for some period in our life?!

Shocked that "It still sucks" is not amongst your observations
Fargo, the movie, is great, btw. William Macy deserved an Oscar.

Obama needs to reinstitute the Little Lebowski Urban Achiever program...
I still laugh when I think about the pissed on carpet in the Dude's house.

That scene, especially, gets me every time...."are you a Lebowski achiever?" while staring blankly

Disagree on one point, at least. Fargo (the movie) does not suck.

Maybe I need to see again to appreciate. I think the casting is excellent.
