25 years ago, one of those extremely influential comedies came along to give young Gen Xers and Millennials something to watch over and over again. That film is the third entry in Film Seizure’s Coen Brothers Month, The Big Lebowski!
Three old friends get together to talk about movies.

I had a Film Class friend who went through a phase with The Big Sleep, which is where this film gets its plot (Murder My Sweet inspired the presence of dream sequences). She’d watched it seven times in one week, taking notes on her7th, and she had determined that the plot was actually ‘impossible’, by which she may have meant self-contradictory, though she didn’t explain at the time. Even regarding the book, one murder was never solved, and Chandler himself couldn’t say who it was, when he was asked. That’s one of the notable things about Lebowski, is that its plot, meandering as it may be, does function.
We used to have a deal with a video store, probably your video store, where managers could sign in at GCC or rent free at… Video One? I went a few weeks in a row, four, though maybe not all in succession, scanned the walls, read a few backs, and each time left with The Big Lebowski, which I played all weekend.

Geoff here – VH-One Video! That’s where Jason and I met. That also means ultimately it’s how I would have met Chuck through Jason and Jon.
