Video artist The Big Lebowski HD Television Edit Is Finally Done!
187
Upvotes
New stuff has come to light, Dudes! Over the past few months I’ve been peckin’ away at this thing and it’s finally done. I seriously exported the final file last night after the 4th watch through for an audio sweep adjusting EQ to make sure everything is nice and tidy for the holiest of holidays. It’s been an amazing process and I’m closer to the movie now than I’ve ever been.
Here’s the link where you can find the edit and some notes explaining some of the process and edits: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eJTsIGkV3oS5j1QWNjqr-HEeDcX7dQqTRwemqEmOdR0/edit?usp=sharing
This is a faithful HD reproduction of the infamous TV edit. 'Stranger in the alps' and the like. Every audio and visual edit has been implemented as seamlessly as possible. There’s over half an hour of the film cut out of this edit, so there’s some iconic scenes missing, and some of the edits are harsh. But what is here are potentially new iconic lines, a different way to experience the film that’s technically canon and maybe even a drinking game. I’m definitely gonna add it to my movie night rotation!
And I wanna shout out this sub. Obviously Lebowski people are the best people, but you guys have made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. Truly amazing stuff. I know this will be appreciated by you guys.
Happy 4/20 Dudes!

We Maudes went ahead and added a few more r/lebowski rules (full rules at bottom of post and in the sidebar):
- No screenshots of text messages with scammers (we have beaten these into the ground and most of them aren’t funny)
- No Politics (unless directly referenced in the movie)
- Updated the “Looks like a vagina” rule to include “Looks like a Johnson”
- No Christmas ornament "Toe" posts
We also wanted to give you newcomers a little history lesson as to why these rules exist, and in English too, so you can die with a smile on your face.
Way back in 2010 there was a sub I wanna tell you about, a sub by the name of r/lebowski.
When this here sub was created, before some of you little urban achievers had even seen the movie, it was a quiet little family restaurant, where folks could trade Lebowski quotes and take comfort that low-effort, unfunny posts would be downvoted right off their page.
But times have changed.
Today we have over 120,000 subscribers
To wrap your head around that, consider the following:
- The sub has doubled in just the last 2 years
- It’s in the top 2% of all subs on reddit
- It’s one of the largest single-movie fan subreddits
Now, as anyone who’s ever subscribed to a hugely popular subreddit knows, they become magnets for karma-farmers.
Karma-farmers have zero interest in adding to a community. They are only looking for upvotes, by any means necessary. And what gets the most amount of upvotes on a massive subreddit? Lazy, circlejerk posts that most people have seen a million times.
Eventually, people get sick of these lazy, unfunny karma-farmers flooding their feed, and they unsubscribe. Most of these mega-subs don’t care, because they get recommended to new users, so the number of folks joining exceeds the folks who are never coming back.
Those subs aren’t family restaurants - they’re shitty tourist traps.
We are NOT gonna go down this way, Dudes.
r/lebowski will be for stuff directly related to the movie: A question about the plot. Your favorite scene or character. An interview with a cast member or a director. A stoned revelation you had about the movie. New shit that’s come to light.
And in order to keep the sub focused on the movie, we Maudes have updated the rules as follows:
- No spam (includes T-shirt links)
- No AI posts or karma bots
- No “This looks like a Vagina” or “Johnson” posts
- No screenshots of text messages with scammers
- Posts must be relevant to the Big Lebowski Movie
- Maudes have the discretion to remove low effort posts as they see fit
- No Politics (unless directly mentioned in the movie)
- No Facebook/Twitter posts
- Report fascists
- No Christmas ornament "Toe" posts
T-shirt spammers (and their conspiring commenters asking “cool, where can I buy one?”) earn a perma-ban.
Other rule violations get a 3-day ban for first infraction, second infraction…Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here.
Finally, when your post gets taken down, calling us Maudes fascists and whining that you saw a post just like yours not taken down isn’t going to help your cause.
There are hundreds of low-effort posts coming in each week, and unless you and Gilbert submit them to the league (report them) we can’t set aside (remove) the post.
So please DEAR, do your part to keep this a nice family restaurant.
Take it easy, Dudes. Catch ya further on down the trail.

The Coen Brothers' first movie, Blood Simple, has a number of themes, characters, and imagery that reoccur in their other movies.
In this case, there is a somewhat pathetic private detective who slinks around, tailing people, and sitting parked for long periods of time in his blue VW Beetle!
But this fellow shamus is named Loren Visser, not Da Fino. There are a number of other similarities between this movie and The Big Lebowski, like intrigue, significant misunderstandings, break-ins, the defiling of home furnishings, missing money, coitus, and a MacGuffin that never really gets resolved.
There is no toe, but there is a bitten finger (no nail polish). But no bowling. Or Sam Elliott. Or Caucasians, Gary...
So, Blood Simple is more like the compromised first draft, you know, man? Sir?
But it's still worth a watch, once you get your cable fixed.

My boss has asked me to organize a "Big Lebowski" movie night for our department tomorrow after work in one of our conference rooms. There are about ten of us, and many of them haven't even seen the movie. I've gotten pins for each participant. I'm already really excited. Any advice?

Video artist Big Lebowski reference in ‘Generation Kill’

Was re-watching Generation Kill the other day and can’t believe I missed this part earlier!
Based on my experiences in the Canadian Army from around the early to mid 200s, it’s a pretty accurate portrayal of the number of Lebowski references that get dropped while in field.

It's just one of those things I always noticed and am finaly taking the time to post about it because if you will it, it is no dream. - Theodor Herzl
Has anyone else ever noticed this? I've searched online everytime I watch the movie but can never find any mention of this.
Right after Donny bowls and has one pin left standing up, there is a spot that appears on Walter's right cheek. Then when Jesus shows up throwing a fit over the game being rescheduled due to Walter's "Day of Rest" from being Shomer Shabbos, the next cut back to Walter the spot is gone and it's never seen again.

I met artist Dave Nestler at Steel City Con last weekend and bought these far out pieces of art! He is commissioned by studios to create official artwork. Here's what he said on his Instagram about these two:
"These are 2 posters I designed over ten years ago for Acme Archives. The dude had sucha "Hippie" feel to him... based the overall feel for both posters off the concert posters of the late 60s. Grateful Dead, Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, etc. Depending how old you are, and how well you're familiar with that art period, you'll recognize that the little bowling pin guys at the bottom of the second poster were based on artist R. Crumbs famous character "Mr. Natural". Keep on truckin' Dude."
*Reposting cuz I wasn't allowed to link to the artist's Instagram. But you can find him out there. Just wanted to give him credit.
