    I just can’t get into The Big Lebowski. I’ve tried several times and can never seem to finish it.

    For TV, it’s Seinfeld. I don’t find it funny at all.

      The Big Lebowski has a very specific style of humor and if you don’t appreciate it for that, then there’s not really anything left lol. The plot meanders around aimlessly as a joke and then the film just ends abruptly with almost no real satisfying resolution.

      To me, Lebowski is like most of the Coen Brothers movies: it has a lot of great scenes that never really come together in a meaningful way.

        I think that was actually the point of that movie. Like the only time he actually tries to do any detective work, it turns out to just be a sketch of a dude with a comically large boner.

        I kinda thought the disjointed nature was part of it, sending him through different social strata. Maybe I’ve watched it too many times while zooted, idk.
