Lebowski as Shakespeare
Adam Bertocci rewrote The Big Lebowski in the style of Shakespeare and the result is the amazing Two Gentlemen of Lebowski. As someone who has spent a lot of time on efforts of debatable value, I admire this greatly.

THE KNAVE
No, sir, thy speech is straight and true. But yet thou speakest not, for thou hast not spoken but brayed, in the manner of an ass.
By the way, The Big Lebowski will be making another appearance on Unlikely Words in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned.
Two Trailers
I discovered two trailers today I’m excited for. One for the new Coen Bros movie, A Serious Man. And one for the new Wes Anderson movie, The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Both look like they need watching in a theater with popcorn.
Burn After Reading (2008)
Lots of people don’t like this movie, but it’s Coen Brothers, and I can’t help feeling that it was at least average. I think the people who don’t like it have forgotten what a Coen Brothers movie is. For every No Country, Raising Arizona, Big Lebowski, there’s a Lady Killers.
