    ...sometimes there's a man - I won't say a hero, 'cause what's a hero? But sometimes there's a man - and I'm talking about the Dude here - sometimes there's a man... Well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there, and that's the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man, and the Dude was most certainly that, quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles county, which would place him high in the running for laziest worldwide.
    LOL!!! What an introduction by the Coen Brothers about the Dude.

    You know it's funny or cool or whatever for a while. Then you realize it's just a guy who can't get a girl, barely makes rent, and spends all his money on booze.
    When it's someone like Jeff Bridges (young) it's appealing, but when they get into their 50's, 60's, 70's and still living the same lifestyle it's just sad.
    My home town is full of "cool" people who do the same shit every single weekend. You end up working in a factory your entire life and never seeing the world.

    • @grendlsma

      It's all about moderation. If you go through life with a "fuck it" attitude all the time, you'll be a lonely and poor son of a bitch for your whole life. However, it's actually beneficial to go through life with a "fuck it" attitude towards things that you can't control.

Thou he gave "inspiration" we all need to remember he's Jeff "The Dude" Dowd, not Jeff "The Dude" Lobowski, who inspired people to follow a new freeform let it go way of life. I can see myself never getting sick of JD-L, thinking.. this man is so chill. How can you hate him? He don't give a f*** who's President, or if you don't like him.. He just wants to have a good time.
