Daily Dialogue — October 2, 2010

“It’s the LeBaron.”

 — Jeffrey Lebowski — The Dude (Jeff Bridges), The Big Lebowski (1998), written by Ethan Coen & Joel Coen

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is character’s first lines suggested by Judith.

Trivia: Nearly all of the visible symbols in The Dude’s second dream sequence are taken from earlier scenes: — the black and white tile is seen earlier in the Big Lebowski’s entry way when The Dude walks with Brandt and again at the end — the tool belt and workman outfit The Dude is seen wearing is identical to the one worn by Karl Hungus in Logjammin’ — Saddam is mentioned briefly by Walter in the car outside the bowling alley; in the opening credits, we see a man looking a bit similar to Saddam spraying the bowling shoes at the alley — Maude’s gold bowling ball bra cups are taken from bowling balls seen on the rack behind Walter in an earlier scene at the bowling alley — the scissors wielded by the red-clad Nihilists are seen in a painting with a red background on Maude’s wall — the red-on-black bowling ball is the same as the one in the earlier dream sequence and is also visible on the rack behind Walter and The Dude at the bowling alley. — The initial scene of The Dude’s exaggerated walking in while casting a big shadow is similar to his landlord’s shadow dance to “Pictures at an Exhibition.” — Maude Lebowski’s trident is from a statue at The Big Lebowski’s home.
