So the Phonetic Alphabet is boring huh? How about a new one based on The Big Lebowski? This is precisely the possibility mooted here. Brilliant!

Lebowski Phonetic Alphabet

Thanks to John for pointing this out.

How well do you know The Big Lebowski? It’s time to find out- Empire has posted a fun, 20 question quiz. I got 19/20- I got Larry Seller’s homework grade wrong How well will you do?

Also here’s another amusing Big Lebowski related Youtube movie…

Another amusing Coen brothers YouTube video- The Big Lebowski, The Fucking Short Version. Two minutes and fourteen seconds of cuss words!

Almost in celebration of the nice new web space and domain name, I have finally gotten around to updating The Big Lebowski’s multimedia page! It’s a truly massive update containing over 350 high quality images mainly taken directly from the DVD. I hope you all enjoy it because it represents hours of work on my part.

I meant to post this the other day but the below news was way more exciting. Anyhow, Empire magazine polled it’s readership during November and December of last year as to which were the 201 (it was issue 201 of the magazine) Greatest Movies Of All Time. Well I’m sure it’ll come as no surprise that the Coen brothers had a couple of entries there. Coming in at number 120 was Fargo and at the dizzying, nosebleed-inducing height of number 25 was, of course, The Big Lebowksi. The top five reads thus; #5- The Godfather, #4- Star Wars, #3- The Fellowship Of The Ring, #2- The Empire Strikes Back and #1- The Shawshank Redemption. Oh, and the original The Ladykillers came in at #183 which is nice.

Just a quick note to alert you to the fact that The Big Lebowski DVD website is now live. Unfortunately it’s a little underwhelming.

Thanks to Joseph for the tip off.

The second piece of information for today is that biglebowskidvd.com has finally been updated. However don’t rush on over as there is no information at all and the rather stupid, comedy disclaimer- “Be sure to watch with snacks in hand, because The Big Lebowski might give you a giddy case of the munchies.” Kinda missing the point of the movie I’m sure you’ll agree. Cheech and Chong it is not.

Thanks to “finishdish” for the heads up!

The cover artwork for the Collector’s Edition DVD release of The Big Lebowski has been released. Beautiful I’m sure you’ll agree.

To be filed in the “about time” category- Universal have finally, officially revealed the specifications of the forthcoming The Big Lebowski Collector’s Edition DVD and the artwork for the “Achiever’s Edition” box set. The DVD will comprise; English and French DD5.1 soundtracks; Spanish DD2.0 Stereo track; English, French and Spanish subtitles; a Coen scripted introduction by Mortimer Young (played by George Ives who did the same thing on the Blood Simple Director’s Cut DVD); a selection of Jeff Bridges’ on set photography; a “making of” documentary and production notes. As we know the Achiever’s Edition will contain the self same disc plus some of Briges’ photos on card, a Lebowski bolwing ball shammy/chamois and some character related drinks coasters. Whether you feel these gimmicky things are worth twice the price is up to you. Click HERE to see the artwork for the Achiever’s Edition- it’s pretty damn lovely!!!
