I think the pace and mood of TBL was very much in keeping with the nature of 'The Dude' - laid back, aimless and easy. In fact, the movie works because of these very characteristics. Another Coens movie that springs to mind is 'O Brother..' where it is impossible to guess the turns the story might take - just like the ad-hoc decisions the fugitives take along the way to find their treasure.

Oh ok. Actually 'The Dude' was not the best part of the movie for me. After some time the Dudeness kind of wore off. It was the situations which were comical

The clever pencil scratching at the porn-magnate's place :lol:
In sloshed earnestness: "He treats objects like women"

and things like that which were funny for reasons other than the Dudeness.

It is Walter who had me in splits till the very end. He became kinda predictable after a while but still remained funny right through.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

It's actually an accurate statement, though he didn't intend it that way :lol:

:lol:

Its a tad unfair to The dude that he had to be eclipsed by Walter, who is just unbeatable. The Dude rocks forver in his own right, however :)

Another easily overlooked performance is that of Philip Seymour Hoffman. The sheepish grin, the hurried walk and eagerness to represent his Master's interests at every turn added just that right amount of humour. Hoffman :notworthy: :notworthy:
