Woo's got a bee in her bonnet about the sort of person who goes to Tesco in their pyjamas. She's got a point, but not everyone who goes to the shops in their boudoir gear ends up looking like Waynetta Slob. Some can make it seem like a statement of effortless cool. Like The Dude, pictured above. If you need an explanation of this picture, just get hold of The Big Lebowski on DVD. You'll thank me for the tip.

The Dude abides

Ah, lovely. But if only all the Waynettas were the equivalent of Jeff Bridges; I'd make it compulsory if they were...
ReplyDeleteI watced The Big Lebowski once as Steve Lamacq said it was his favourite film. That's the last time I watch a film recommended by a Radio 1 DJ. That Dude bloke got right on my wick and I felt like I'd wasted two hours of my life. Consequently, it remains the only Cohen brothers film I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteBA - Can we still be friends? It's not often I agree with Steve Lamacq. I got to the end of it first time around and thought "Is that it? What a shitty ending". However, there was enough I loved in it to make me see it again, upon which I realised that the real ending is on the hillside, and that everything that follows is a little postscript.
ReplyDeleteOf course we can still be friends! I dare say anyone looking at my Top 20 Films of All Time, would probably run off screaming...
