Yeah, The Big Lebowski was NOT popular at the time, was seen by many as a big 
letdown from Fargo. (Not by me -- I laughed myself silly in the theater. But I 
was also aware that most of the audience that day just DIDN'T GET IT. Most sat 
in silence.)

Nice excuse for some PR...but

The Big Lebowski wasn't The Big Lebowski when released. It was NOT Fargo, many,
many said.

And, trying to label a movie the next cult classic is like a company sending out
its YouTube promo to thousands and
claiming it is viral. Already.

And, The Big Lebowski had no original book to be found different/lacking from.
Just sayin'.

Yet, I am eager to see this myself just because...
