This is one of those movies has been intentionally watched beginning to end at least 3 times and I'm still not sure if I like it but will probably watch it again within a year or so
I never understood the appeal of this movie. There's no plot, no structure, and no character development. It's just watching a dumbass stoner stumble around while more interesting things are alluded to happening offscreen but there's never any payoff for those teased bits.
I understand the point, I normally hate stoner comedy but this is something elevated, complex, quotable. Genuinely hilarious. Maybe give it one more chance?

I was a roadie for Metallica, Speed of sound tour
Christ, what an asshole.
I gave up trying to understand anything of the movie after the opening half hour, so I went ahead and watched Cars instead

It's like the images are hitting your eyeballs, but never quite reaching your brain.

And also there is plot, structure, and character development. This person must just be a fucking nihilist.
Sounds exhausting.
Nihilists! Fuck me. Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, Dude, but at least it's an ethos.
you see, some men get uncomfortable when you say the word: VA GI NA
You mean coitus?

This aggression will not stand, man.
Against... Uhh.... Kuwait.
You are being very undude
I hated it first time, but loved it 2nd and 20th time round. It improves more you watch, all the dialogue joins together.
I was unprepared the first time. It was then that I learned to never underestimate the Coen Brothers.
I can go up or down on the Coens, but Lebowski, Buster Scruggs, Raising Arizona, No Country, True Grit, Lewyn Davies are masterpieces.
They're not all absolute gems, but their best work is immortal.
Did you forget about O Brother, Where Art Thou? Or Hail, Caesar?
I think I did. Would that it t'were s'simple.
It's complicated.
As is a Serious Man.
