Since the post on The Warriors, I have watched it again three or four times. I’m fascinated by how it creates its world in all the surreal brush strokes.

Escape and Warriors both have a kind of quality that seems missing in recent movies that have infinitely larger resources and tech at their disposal.

@Brad,

You know, I introduced The Big Lebowski this last Thursday night for the film club, it was a lot of fun. I talked about the Lebowski as the first internet cult classic, wish you were there. But we can pick up that conversation over dinner soon –I’ll get back to you on that shortly.

@Andy,
My thoughts exactly, there ain’t too much bad I can say about this film, and when it came to favorite parts it was pretty much the whole movie. Now that’s a sign of a monumental film.

I like to think I have something to say about most filmsm and indeed things, but I bow down before Escape like the drooling fanboy I am.

“Now me, kinda like Uli, I’m a nihilist, and it is, indeed, exhausting.”

Three cheers for Mr. Jim Groom. Some day we will discuss Lebowski in length, & that day will be considered a very important day in both our lives indeed. I can sense it!
