'The Dude Abides'

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2007)

This is the Cohen's at their best - and the actors at their best! You put Miller's Crossing, Fargo, and Raising Arizona in a blender and you get the best 'Caucasian' ever made! How many quotes have come from this film? I've never gotten tired of this one. The guy that does the marmot scream used to live down the street from me. His voice is always found in their films. The last time that I talked to him, he was leaving Lexington for the West. He had just finished directing a Doc on 'Grunge Ukulele' musicians in the Pacific Northwest. I think that his most disturbing sound effect was the odd scream of the paid off boxer in Miller's Crossing. That one always makes ya wonder what grandpa's really going to do with the fire stoker when he picks it up on Christmas.
