I borrowed The Big Lebowski from the Library and this was advertised in the trailers so I just watched. Jeff plays a very undude like Priest and the film is Directed by a fellow named Goddard. Not Dwight Goddard, who's interpretation of the Tao Te Ching I read in my Meditations, but Drew Goddard. Must be Zen
Anyway, the movie is slow for a long time but trust it to come together, like a room with the right rug. The Direction is first rate and reminded me of another film, Blood Simple, for its look. Very dark but with an intensity so strong we feel it. Gritty, sensual, and bloody enough. My rating is $$$$/5 for the all too predictable ending. It could be no other way, though.
