Re: The Big Lebowski
" It's basically an absurdist movie and you have to be willing to go along with it or it seems like one big, masturbatory acid flashback."
That is exactly what it felt like to me. Absurd humour is my favourite kind of humour, but if TBL is absurd, and I'm not sure it is, it's absurd in a tremedously self-indulgent, flabby kind of way.
That said I too should watch it again, as I've only seen it once the whole way through, and it was a long time ago.
