so, like, you'd better get out, um, and enjoy it, man http://www.nerve.com/entertainment/movies/today-is-day-of-the-dude You may not know this, but March 6 is the Day of the Dude. The laid-back holiday celebrates the anniversary of the release of the noir-comedy masterpiece The Big Lebowski, which arrived in theaters on March 6, 1998. The holiday was established in 2010 by the Church of the Latter-Day Dude, aka Dudeism, a tongue-in-cheek religion that claims 200,000 adherents and is devoted to Jeff Bridges' character, the Dude. It's silly, but the Dude is actually a very good role model for not taking things too seriously and accepting life as it happens. After all, "the Dude abides."
I'm watching the flick tonight after the game. For the 12th time, probably. Time to break out the goodie and light one up in The Dude's honor. That may start before the game, actually. Beat the Spurs and don't Bogart your tribute to The Dude! The Dude abides! (And All Hail R2K!)
I had no idea The Dude got his money from an inheritance from the inventor of the Rubik's Cube. Apparently, that scene that explained that was in the film originally but was cut by Joel Coen to keep the audience guessing.
Caught a bit on TV yesterday. Hey, do they still have those Lebowski fests at bowling alleys? I always wanted to go to one of them. But I wasn't privy to the new **** back then.
