Talk:Dude, Where's My Car?

message: I think it is worthy to mention that the title of the subject of this article and indeed the very scene in which the title is spoken seems to be inspired by an almost verbatim scene in the film The Big Lebowski. I'd like it added to the article by either me or someone else. Let me know what you guys think. -- El Payaso Malo 70.249.188.216 (talk) 05:12, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not only that, but the whole movie is clearly inspired by The Big Lebowski, in terms of the long series of seemingly random events etc. etc.  Just like the movie "The Hangover" too-- almost like its own genre, presumably started by the Big Lebowski 76.65.22.7 (talk) 00:05, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I removed the reference to many thinking it was similar to HALF BAKED for two reasons.  1, it isn't at all similar to HALF BAKED, and two, who ever said that?  Sounds like an opinion to me. Any thoughts? Mcflytrap 20:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spoiler Warning 

message: I was this movie in 2001 [sic] and I'm pretty sure his car turned out to be parked behind a cube van or something, he comes out of his house or something and a truck drives away and voila, his car is there. At least, that's what it should have been, looking everywhere except behind the van. I did a play on that once.

message: Shouldn't this be at [ Dude, Where's my Car?], given the poster?  --Thinboy00 @899, i.e. 20:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't agree.  Posters (isn't that really a DVD cover?) are art, and don't always accurately represent the capitalization, etc.  Every source I can find has My capitalized.  I think that is a flimsy straw to rest on in pushing for a move, especially since on the poster, the m is clearly larger than the y.  Are you going to make the first word DuDe?--Wehwalt (talk) 04:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If it doesn't need moving I won't move it.  The main reason I considered this is because "my" is kind of a minor word and I thought maybe it doesn't get capitalized, and I just looked at the poster, and the "m" wasn't "sharp" (pointy tops)... The fact that they used "DuDe" doesn't surprise me, because those letters are obviously not supposed to conform to standards, but that's only the first word, if you look... considering the external links, it looks like I jumped to conclusions, forget the move.  Sorry about the meandering post (and not being online for a day, but actually I really shouldn't be online now... busy).  --Thinboy00 @886, i.e. 20:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title 

message: I've never seen this movie, but I know the Continuum Transfunctioner, with its accompanying description of paradoxically exceeding power and mystery (better quoted at Big Dumb Object than here), as a special item in the browser game Kingdom of Loathing, which has a lot of pop-cultural references.  I'd like to mention KoL in the article somewhere, but there's no "References in popular culture" section, and I don't know of any other examples that would make such an addition seem less pointless.
