The Big Lebowski
This is the most straightforward comedy I've seen from the Coens. Some parts were funny, though more unapologetically maximalist than I remembered. Compare The Dude and Walter cussing at each other to everything that's left unsaid in the "Minnesota nice" of Fargo. I prefer the latter. It's also just hard for me to reconcile the heroic sloth of The Dude. It's not my least vibey vibe, but I tend to take my personal growth pretty seriously. I wouldn't mind a bowling league, however. Notice they never show The Dude actually bowling? So the one thing he feels motivated to do in the movie he never does in the movie?
