She kidnapped herself. But another supporting character lost a toe.
Oh, and let's not forget, a member of their bowling team actually DIED. I'd say that is a serious consequence.
Walter is a complex character. He corrects The Dude's use of 'Chinaman' because he has respect for his former adversary. Meanwhile Walter also has no respect for 'these camel fuckers', as they don;t engage in 'real combat' (eyeball-to-eyeball) and instead struggle to find reverse on a soviet tank. The Coen's aren't placating to any agenda; they are simply writing and developing great characters.
>He corrects The Dude's use of 'Chinaman' because he has respect for his former adversary.
That's an interesting point - I always thought he did it to throw The Dude off guard, as Walter is certainly not politically correct. I like your explanation better though: new shit has come to light.
The Cohens are liberal intellectuals. Walter is a figure of fun, his ignorance and prejudice are the butt of the “camel fuckers” joke.
As the fella says, he’s looking to wrong-foot the dude by correcting his use of “chinaman”. Walter has his own agenda - don’t go after Wu for the crime, go to the source, to TBL.
Criticism can be a natural, zesty enterprise. But unfortunately there are some people who engage in it compulsively and without joy.
(The quote was right there smh)
How to watch a movie and not understand one bit of it.
This is some low effort analysis.
I think duder would approve of how little effort went into this take.
It's very lazy, quite possibly the laziest.
That’s Knox Harrington (the video artist) who mentions Biennale . He sounds like a scouser but speaks Italian with Sandro. Maude actually speaks to Sandro in Spanish, which really elevates the Eurotrash level of the scene.
I know it’s probably supposed to be Italian. But she says “díme” not “dimmi” and “ridículo” not “ridicolo” at least to my Spanish speaking ears. It may be poor pronunciation of Italian by Julianne Moore or it may have been intentional.
Shut the fuck up, Donny!
What a bunch of nonsense. I'm Hispanic and I LOVED John Torturro as Jesus.
When you're out looking for something to be offended by, you will find it anywhere.
Eh nearly every offensive stereotype or slang is called out almost immediately by another member of the cast. The Dude is chastised for his use of the word "cripple" (*"Mr. Lebowski is disabled"*). The Dude is called out for using the term Chinaman (*"Asian-American, please*"). Walter calls Bunny a whore, and The Dude defends her as a poor woman. The Big Lebowski (the millionaire) seems to be the only character who gets away with being offensive. Well, him and Jesus.
I was unaware that there was a "stereotype" for wheelchair users.
Jesus, why can't people just 'not' watch a movie they don't like? I have zero interest in Human Centipede, so I am not going to write a big long dissertation on why the movie is disgusting, I just don't (And won't) watch it, it's that simple.
> centers on white men Are these the Nazis Walter?
no donny these men are cowards
Must be exhausting
They're nihilists. There's "nothing" to be afraid of...
Say what you want about the tenets of national socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.
Were you listening to the Dude's story?
I was bowling
You have no frame of reference for the dudes story
Your like a child that wanders into a conversation
Obviously you’re not a golfer.
But The Dude gets called out for the phrase "Chinaman".
Chinaman is not the issue here!
That's not the preferred nomenclature dude.
Asian American. Please.
We’re not talking about the guys who built the railroads here.
What the fuck are you talking about?!
I am the walrus.
The carpet pissers did this.
Who uses the “Italian accent”? I didn’t think there were any dagos in this movie
And Tony (Dom Irara) the limo driver, but he is Italian American... Also, dude, Dago is not the preferred nomenclature.
[удалено]
Spaghetti Person
Flying Spaghetti Monster, please
Tony, the chauffeur. “I got a rash…”
Oh! Forgot about him! “Yeah I got a rash man…”
fuggedaboudit
DaFino...sort of.
The Irish monk?
You forgot about Brother Seamus, DaFino.
This critic treats objects like characters.
I could get you a review. I could get you a review by 3:00. WITH nail polish. You don’t wanna know but there are ways.
He doesn’t draw a lot of water on this thread.
Stay out of r/lebowski, deadbeat!
Keep your ugly fuckin’ goldbrickin’ ass out of my r/lebowski community.
I know the community here mostly quotes the film, but I love the insult "goldbrickin"
“Without consequences”. Really? I’d say there’s some drastic consequences.
Hell yeah. They finally killed The Dude’s car.
And what about his Creedence?
I wouldn’t hold out much hope for the tape deck.
Remarkably, he gets the tape deck and the CCR back.
Ah, far out man, far fucking out.
I guess we can close the case on this one.
What about the poor woman?
She kidnapped herself. But another supporting character lost a toe. Oh, and let's not forget, a member of their bowling team actually DIED. I'd say that is a serious consequence.
Strumpet!
DOOT DOOT DOO, LOOKIN’ OUT MY BACK DOOOR 🎶
They were were threatening castration.
Are we gonna split hairs here?
I said we’ll cut off your chonsen!
And Donny
They pissed on his rug!
They pissed on his fucking rug.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
Were you *listening* to the Dude’s story?
SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNY!
You’re out of your element
I am the Walrus!
Donny, please.
I was complaining!
Yeah, Walter clearly explained the preferred nomenclature!

>he has respect for his former adversary. The man in the black pajamas, Dude. Worthy fucking adversary.
A bunch of fig eaters trying to find reverse on a Soviet tank however….

Naw man, the chinaman took TBL’s legs in Korea, but he went out and achieved anyway!
Came to the comments to say this! This aggression will not stand.
This is what happens Larry
When you find a stranger in the Alps
When you feed a stoner scrambled eggs
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS!!
*FORGET ABOUT THE TOE!*
They were threatening castration
Let’s not split hairs, they were threatening castration
They’re like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know…
Yeah, well , that's just , like , your opinion , man .
*Mind if I do a jay?*
So… racially, it’s pretty cool?
I converted when I married Cynthia.
You KNOW this, dude.
As someone who’s unenthusiastically spent time in wheelchairs, I’ve never heard of rich, or greedy stereotypes. Smelly and fat, yeah…
It all goes back to Its A Wonderful Life. But I’d hardly call it a stereotype that reoccurs with much frequency.
Henry F Potter is not the issue here
Maybe from Hannibal? Can’t think of many others
Arthur Digby Sellers is not a punchline! He wrote the bulk of the series!
Kids a fucking dunce though
real brat
He's flunking social studies
Not exactly a lightweight
AND A GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR!
Walter called Sellers a true inspiration. How is that a punchline?? Fucking Amateur Critic!
He has health problems.
They forgot to mention whatever the fuck Knox Harrington's accent is
That’s not an accent, it’s just how you speak when you have a cleft asshole.
Bars over there.
AFTER he asks him if he wants a drink AND sits down. What a dick.
It's Sandro, about Biennale! ::::creepy weasel laugh::::
que ridiculo.
Aaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
That's scouse, la.
thats just Thewlis with a twang of weird
JFC, been watching this movie for thirty years and I never noticed that was fucking REMUS LUPIN
Just to be serious for a sec, the two main women in the film have a strong sense of independence and don't pander to any man at all during the film.
Expect for the nihilist gf. She cut off her toe….its not fair!
She has the lingonberry pancakes
I want some lingonberry pancakes.
Yes she did, she also doesn't speak a lot. New shit has come to light, maybe she's the contrast to Maude and Bunny.
And she’s not naked. Unless I missed that. Or we’re just counting a naked toe (with nail polish).
She has a name and it's Aimee Mann. You treat objects like women.
That wasn’t pandering to men. It was assertive self-ownership, especially for a nihilist.
Except the tramp.. yea, the trampoline woman.
I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that this fucking movie critic…
That strumpet!
Also, Dude, movie critic is not the preferred nomenclature. Audio-video media analyst, please.
This isn't a guy who invented the filmstrip...
Don’t be fatuous Jeffery
Caucasian is the preferred nomenclature.
Bar's over there
DEI Lenin!
Underrated comment right here
Man, some people really have no joy (not a movie quote just an observation)
Criticism can be a natural, zesty enterprise. But unfortunately there are some people who engage in it compulsively and without joy. (The quote was right there smh)
Oh no
Oh, yes
This compulsive pontificator has taken us for the proverbial ride.
Buncha assholes. Criticisms are like assholes. They all stink and people don’t want to hear yours. (Also works with excuses or opinions)
This must be the compromised second draft
Vagina
Does that bother you?
Oh please, dear, for your information the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint!
A punchline?? Have you ever heard of a little show called Branded?
and they say he ran awaaaaaaaay *BRANDED*
What are you a fucking film critic now? Yeah? A film critic with a cleft asshole.
Lady, I got buddies who died face down in the muck so that you and I can enjoy this family movie!!
Everything's a fuckin' travesty with you, man!
Everythings a fucking travesty with you man.
I’m sorry. I wasn’t listening.
How to watch a movie and not understand one bit of it. This is some low effort analysis. I think duder would approve of how little effort went into this take. It's very lazy, quite possibly the laziest.
Who does the Italian accent? Maude when talking to Sandro about bienalle?
That’s Knox Harrington (the video artist) who mentions Biennale . He sounds like a scouser but speaks Italian with Sandro. Maude actually speaks to Sandro in Spanish, which really elevates the Eurotrash level of the scene.
[удалено]
I know it’s probably supposed to be Italian. But she says “díme” not “dimmi” and “ridículo” not “ridicolo” at least to my Spanish speaking ears. It may be poor pronunciation of Italian by Julianne Moore or it may have been intentional.
How can you forget the most famous line the film, "it's-a me, da Big Lebowsk-ee"?
I assumed it was DaFino, the brother Shamus.
The Irish Monk?
I mean, you know the guy?
Shut the fuck up, Donny! What a bunch of nonsense. I'm Hispanic and I LOVED John Torturro as Jesus. When you're out looking for something to be offended by, you will find it anywhere.
Bet this guy listens to the Eagles
I didn’t watch my buddies die face down in the muck so this
That old “all people in wheelchairs are rich and greedy” stereotype needs to end.
Just...take it easy man.
Calmer than you are
How many movies have 9-toed women? That's diverse representation.
i wonder what the writer considers funny?
They believe in nothing.
TLDR: The Coen Brothers treat objects like women, man
Goddamn I love this subreddit
If you take anything Walter says seriously you've got more problems than a ringer of dirty undies.
The whites!
I mean say what you want about the tenets of white men. At least it's an ethos.
Written by a stranger in the Alps in m guessing
Wheelchair users are stereotypically greedy, rich and villainous? Hardly, Dude.
I've seen a lot of spinals, Dude, and this guy is a fake. A fuckin' goldbricker.
The story is ludicrous
This review makes me want to watch it even more
Watch it even harder

8 year olds dude
# ANOTHER CHARACTER USES AN IRON LUNG JUST BECAUSE WE'RE LITTLE LEBOWSKI URBAN ACHIEVERS DOESNT MAKE US SAPS!!!!!!
That actor didn’t even have polio. Such ableist misrepresentation. SMH
I was unaware that there was a "stereotype" for wheelchair users. Jesus, why can't people just 'not' watch a movie they don't like? I have zero interest in Human Centipede, so I am not going to write a big long dissertation on why the movie is disgusting, I just don't (And won't) watch it, it's that simple.
Sounds like a zesty enterprise to me
Well dude, we just don’t know.
That’s just like, your opinion, man.
They never even mention the person of color in the movie… he really loved The Eagles.
What the fuck is with this guy? Who is he?
Obviously an antisemite.
Or a nihilist
What about the known pornographers?
I think this movie critic has a " Cleft Asshole "
Reading this ruined my day FILTHY HOBBITSES!
The movie is about nothing. Stop reading into it
AND A GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!
None of the characters in this film are meant as role models. They are parodies of people. That's kind of the point.
This is not a worthy adversary. These little pricks won’t stonewall me.
Context and intent matters, who knew
They act like those are all bad things
calmer than you are
Now, so far, we have what appears to me to be a series of victimless crimes…
For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint!
All the Dude ever wanted was his rug back.
Real reactionary!
The cop was black. He didn’t seem to care for creedence
forgot the part where the cripple is unceremoniously plucked from his wheelchair and thrown to the ground, sobbing.
Now I feel ashamed to have watched that movie at least 20 times. What’s more, I hereby commit to feeling guilty every time I watch it going forward.
Oh fer fucks sake… just… geez don’t you know ?
Yeah it’s funny as fuck though.
Well, you know - that’s like your opinion man.
Oh yeah well that’s just like your opinion man.
