[lit-ideas] The Big Lebowski

I saw The Big Lebowski last night.  One of the worst movies I've seen in a long 
time.  It was utterly disjointed, it made no sense, stereotyped and bashed 
Vietnam Vets and war protesters, bashed Gentiles, threw in a requisite feminist 
artiste, and spiced the whole mess up with shock value violence.  Interspersed 
among the ruins were high school level attempts, a la MTV, to depict what 
happens when one is knocked out.  There were a few funny lines that didn't come 
close to redeeming it.  Intolerable Cruelty was a disappointment but at least 
entertaining.  Lebowski was an unmitigated disaster.  If it was well done and 
bashed everybody (childish in itself, but at least a genre of sorts), that 
would be one thing.  But it was so poorly executed as that it invalidated 
itself completely.  I am seriously reconsidering the Coen Brothers as 
overrated.
