The Dude Abides

I was thinking of cross-stitching some pillows with movie lines. Sort of off-kilter aphorisms.

“The Dude Abides” was my first thought.

“I know it was you, Fredo” was my second.

I thought I’d open it up to you all. Then maybe I can start a design company for the movie loving cross stitcher.

    There’s no way Nikki is soliciting any more quotations at this point, unless she plans to stock a whole warehouse. Nevertheless, I’d like to follow Michael’s melodrama lead with these:

    “I think I’ll have a large order of…prognosis negative!”

    “God was wrong!!!”

    “I’m someone else…I’m white, white, white!!!”

    “He was some kind of a man”

    “You’re nothing but a railroad tramp”

    Really? I’ve got to watch that, it sounds so cheesy.

    yes, Nikki, by all means watch it…i happen to admire the movie though I’m always getting made fun of for it. Brando’s performance is stunning–you would not expect many major actors to have the guts to do it (though Norman Mailer faulted the movie for cheating and not really including shots of Marlon’s actual penis); yes, but be warned, some butter is misused (this is before PETA stepped in and prevented films from even abusing the byproducts of animals. Now films must have a “butter wrangler.”) also, be warned, the movie is something of a male existential weepie—a genre close to my heart; i’d recommend it on a double bill with Antonioni’s The Passenger, but I think that would be too much moving-camera European ennui for anyone to take at one sitting.

    p.s. apparently The Big Lebowski has a new DVD release complete with hilarious commentary by the Coen brothers.

    This is genius. Thanks, Mark! I’m stealing it and putting it on Facebook. People deserve to see this. I demand they see this. All 9 of my Facebook friends.
