OMG! The Dude is Philip Marlowe stoned!<br /><br />Another movie that gave me a similar Raymond Chandler vibe was Winter's Bone. That's right! Jennifer Lawrence is Philip Marlowe in the Ozarks! As a teenage girl!<br /><br />I love The Big Lebowski, by the way. Especially John Goodman. The scene where he's confronting that sixth-grader and shouting obscenities just kills me. And that scene in that diner where he's going on about how he didn't watch his best friend drown in the mud in Vietnam just to be told to keep it down in a diner! Geez Louise, it's hilarious.

The whole thing is a comedy noir. I didn't realize it the first couple of tims I saw it, but the whole thing plays out exactly like a film noir tilted a couple of degrees to the side.
