The Coen Brothers Big Lebowski interview 1

[Slip1insider]

Hell i could get you a toe by 3 o clock this afternoon

Haha

[turdlinger5000]

i wish they would make a sequel to this

[connorisawsome8440]

I play round with my hands and pick at my fingers when I'm high. For all you anti-pot propoganda eating goat herders, joel coens wife, francis mcdormand, appeared on the cover of high times magazine, and said she is a recreational pot smoker. HIS WIFE. Now it's time for the coens to come out of the cannabis closet.

[MidMASS2]

@connorisawsome8440 So that's proof of them smoking weed? lol, fuck your shitty drug.

[2891john2891]

@MidMASS2 its not a drug anymore than alcohol is a drug.

[karezza6]

Zionist cunts.

[f4ust85]

Ethan seems like such a friendly fun guy, while Joel can be a an asshole I can imagine :-)

[zawlinmoe]

it's ironic that John Goodman calls Walter oafish yet he was the one character that had the whole thing figured out from the beginning.

[Tigerlily21]

@zawlinmoe Yes! You think he's just some paranoid lunatic war crazy fella, but everything he says in the movie is TRUE. lol. Just another example of the Coens brilliant writing and ironies at use.

[barneygrumble]

shears



[barneygrumble]

i think joel and ethan burned one before this interview

[metyuewb]

@barneygrumble why is it that in the States anyone that shows some sign of spirit must have done drugs??

[barneygrumble]

@metyuewb the whole world is getting high. look around, and travel.

[metyuewb]

@barneygrumble naw you missed my point. In the States there's this annoying nudge-nudge attitude whenever someone shows some sign of not being completely matt that they must be high. They must have done something otherwise they wouldn't be that imaginative or show that much spirit of sense of humor or whatever. Which is pretty pathetic I think.

[barneygrumble]

@metyuewb Oh.

[merzer131]

Haha I didn't know the Coen Brothers are so ... peculiar! But i have loved every single one of their movies so far.

[ScAgCoWbOy]

@sdlfkjalskdfjpasij8 well it's like just your opinion man

[communistjesus]

hey COEN BROS where is the BIG LEBOWSKI 2

[666lonny666]

@communistjesus nooooo! please no second one! we should know this should stay put as a single feature D:

[gilnoble]

@communistjesus The Coen Brothers are not the kinda directors that are making countinous movies. They are not typicall hollywood film makers, not going for the big cash and that... No fookin way they gonna make a big lebwsky 2 cos it would just ruin it all its uniqueness. " You are out of your element." no offence :D

[communistjesus]

@gilnoble " You are out of your element." no offence :D <<<--- Well NO OFFENSE either but "that is like your opinion, man"

[gilnoble]

@communistjesus not taken

[spakuloid]

using Bridges is just typecasting

[Foogayzee]

Thumbs up if the excessive finger picking made you cringe

[666lonny666]

@Foogayzee weird D:

[SWIFTartz]

This interview doesnt strike me as The Coens being brilliant directors....Compared to the interviews are I really love listening to like Tarantno and Nolan.

[vaahtobileet]

@SWIFTartz I think you should judge directors based on their movies instead of their interviews. Interviews don't make brilliant directors.

[SWIFTartz]

@vaahtobileet You don't say....You could asume that I wasn't too impressed by their films I've seen, which would be true. And there's no doubt that I think Nolan's and Tarantino's films are better. Funny how it works.

[vaahtobileet]

@SWIFTartz Ok?

[Britzilius]

@SWIFTartz Comparing the cohen brothers and tarantino is like saying "neo-impressionism sucks! baroque is where it's at!" It's just ignorant fella.

[Tigerlily21]

@SWIFTartz Tarantino is so annoying and egocentric in interviews. Nolan gives good interviews. David Cronenberg is the director who gives the best interviews though. Man is so intelligent. The Coens just like to keep a mystery about their work and are just really laid back guys.

[SWIFTartz]

@Tigerlily21 fair enough :)

but they're a lot more fidgety than laid back. 

[sexoja23]

Pasadena is where karate kid lives

[egdirt]

dudes

[liberalsocks92]

If Alfred Hitchcock smoked a load of pot, North-by-Northwest would've been The Big Lebowski.

[relishonrye]

of course they are moving there hands in the same way on purpose. these two are the biggest pranksters

[joeyrsl]

has anyone else noticed how they both constantly play with their hands? every interview i've ever seen, that's what they're doing..

[VikTheBrik]

One of my favourite movies ever. So fucking good, haha. Coen brothers are masters.

[jjk696969]

its time for a little lebowski. the dudes son would probably be about 12 years old by now. itd be a great story line if maude had to go somewhere so she leaves him with the dude and walter for a weekend.

[Paperbagman555]

Jeff Bridges is the man.

[MisterWordman]

Shut the fuck up Donnie.

[ianschecter]

just me or do other people think that john goodman's role in this movie kinda makes the movie? i do love the dude though.....!

[ReadMyCommentBitch]

@ianschecter I agree. The dude is comedy. Walter it the tragedy. He is constantly living in the past. Be it vietnam or his ex-wife, he has gotten a shitty life given to him thats outside of his control and it has done serious emotional damage. Also, "OVER THE LINE!!!!!"

[rickelvee]

love how they both twiddle their thumbs

[Holdtheline07]

We wrote that part because.............. we really liked his voice.  LOOOL

[1ivingHe11]

These guys remind me of the McPoyles...

[RAMBOhhh]

@1ivingHe11

Ew the mcpoyles

they ruined milk for me

[DWordDtour]

@1ivingHe11 hahaha good one... bump it

[happyicecream1234]

Sorry, but Joel Coen seems like a humorless downer. 

[keysersoze0bisto]

@happyicecream1234 he doesn't need to impress you.

[happyicecream1234]

@keysersoze0bisto Well that's a good thing for him, isn't it?

[keysersoze0bisto]

@happyicecream1234 This is not an apt retort.

[happyicecream1234]

@keysersoze0bisto It's not a retort at all; it's a comment. 

[keysersoze0bisto]

@happyicecream1234 They can be synonymous.

[happyicecream1234]

@keysersoze0bisto Not really. That's what the whole "re" part is about: to repeat or return something - like an argument. For instance: this is not an apt distinction, either.

[Tigerlily21]

@happyicecream1234 nobody who writes the stuff they write can be humorless. Journalists always note that they laugh and joke up a storm when arriving for an interview, but as soon as a microphone is in front of them they act serious. They just want to keep everything mysterious, I think

[happyicecream1234]

@Tigerlily21 Hmm. Fair enough. I suppose I don't care for the persona, in any case.

[USAFAminnick]

Are they both intentionally playing with their hands the same way?

[scott13578]

@USAFAminnick lol

[bendtx]

@USAFAminnick It's a nervous tick that starts in the beginning of the interview but goes away eventually the more they get comfortable.

[karezza6]

@USAFAminnick

They are Jews.

[romalfanger]

8 people fucked a stranger in the ass

[pekoe67]

The Citizen Kane of comedy films

[ianschecter]

man for me, i love this movie and jeff bridges as the dude, but the funniest parts to me are with john goodman losing his temper and his funny as hell lines.

[TaffyRaphie]

It seems like they have no idea about "deeper themes" and styles in their films, but there's NO WAY all their films could just happen to fit in with so many film analysis'.

Anyone want to tell me why Fargo is so good? "very realistic" is what I'm thinking, but there's got to be more right?

[tylerdurden4495]

Shut up Donny.

[numetalfreak08]

I think that tihis is a movie t he conhen brothers make bad moviez and r shitty, i slept during this hole movei

[DarkKnight040]

@numetalfreak08 learn2troll

[CJHawkinsTube]

@numetalfreak08 how did you even turn your computer on you ignorant ass. SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNY!

[jaredabccrisscross]

Both simultaneously twiddling their fingers....

[bumtownallstars]

Hahahaha geoffdoor is hilarious!! I'm gonna make a film based on him where he goes around telling people he's gonna kick the fuck out of them hahaha. You could market the shit out of that. Make him British and shit hahaha peace

[Jacklgf]

i like these guys but i thought this movie was a complete waste if time.

[StringQuartetFan]

@Jacklgf some people just dont get it. thats why its so great

[Jacklgf]

@StringQuartetFan Well I get it. But as I watched it, I asked myself, "Why am I watching this?" So nothing really against the movie. I just thought ti was boring as hell. Its a left over hippy who wants to have a rug replaced because it was pissed on. I think that is like having an intruder break into your house to steal a DVD player. DVD players are like 20 bucks. Buy a damn new one and let it go, so you don't get shot or in more trouble just because someone shares your name.

[chrisgaitan]

It never ceases to amaze me that these two dry, borderline dull individuals are responsible for some of the most flat-out hilarious films in movie history. The Coens seem like absolute BORES to be around, yet every script they write is a work of comedic brilliance. They are true cinematic GENIUSES on the level of Welles and Hitchcock.

[Tigerlily21]

@chrisgaitan no they have a really dry sense of humor and are slightly socially awkward that's all. They are still hilarious and witty just not maybe in the loud, light, obvious way you were probably expecting.

[TomHPMc]

Guys, just stop replying to 'geoffdoor' he is clearly trolling & wants negative feedback.

Thanks, for the upload, very good film : )

[napisanmax]

Fuckin dumbfucks

[cfrutig6]

Haha! I noticed the nail-picking as well.

[chadheroman]

the one question i have about the movie is "how the fuck do any of these two guys have any fingernails left?????"



[touretul]

they have the same tic with the hands as a sign of tension, but Joel is relaxing sooner. I don't want to know what would happen if one of Coen brothers would not be enymore. you can se that they are very close.

[geoffdoor]

i need a shit ive just a red hot vindaloo

[RyanJ504]

you know hovering I was just gonna say the same thing. People are being very undude. I'd call them a bunch o' fuckin amateurs, but then I'll prolly get called a fag or some other frequently-used name in online blogs. All I ask is that if someone gets in a fight with me that they use Lebowski quotes. Let's at least have fun with this :P

[trevmccunehsk]

@RyanJ504 SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNY

[hoveringsombrero818]

There's a limey fruit that's being very undude

[geoffdoor]

i wish they wouldn't interview film makers their so boring and up their own arses especially these fucking specky four eyed twats...both need a good kicking ...

[supak108]

@geoffdoor then y would u watch a video interviewing film makers

[geoffdoor]

@supak108 if you ask me why i watch video making interviews am gonna kick fuck outta you everywhere and knock the shit outta of you and i don't care whose watching - do you know babbies head from manchester you better be fucking scared mate

[supak108]

[trevmccunehsk]

[geoffdoor]

@trevmccunehsk shit film

[gibbonsandtheslut]

[geoffdoor]

@gibbonsandtheslut if you ever call me a dumb fuck i'll kick fuck outta you and smash you up and down the street and i wont care whose watching mums,kids, old people i am not bothered about the CCTV footage either i'll just kick fuck outta you ...

[gibbonsandtheslut]

@geoffdoor oh ya ? you're gonna do all that through the internet? you dumb fuck..

[tekmind]

@geoffdoor ha! what a dumbfuck

[naraic1020]

@geoffdoor you dumb fuck

[dykann123456789]

@geoffdoor you sound like one DUMB fuck

[geoffdoor]

@dykann123456789 listen we ve done the whole dumb fuck thing now ...so you months behind probably like your pathetic life ...always on the back foot ...

[dykann123456789]

@dykann123456789 eat shit and die faggot DUMB motherfucker

[TheLonghairraven]

My favorite movie from Coen brother is The man who wasn't there!

[syncm]

burned one on the way over

[geoffdoor]

is is just me or is the big lebowski shit ...and who are those silly twats with glasses and beards ...and HGV is the way forward

[jazz4]

@geoffdoor You are such a shit human, did you come on this video to run your mouth to get some attention? the world doesnt revolve around you, you fucking ingrate. No ones interested in you or your lame ego so stop bothering people. It's "Jeff" bridges not "Johnny" and those "twats" are some of the finest American filmmakers of the last few decades. -- Go on reply with empty threats you sad little boy.

[geoffdoor]

@jazz4 if you call me a shit human again i am gonna kick outta of you and i don't care whose watching ...i'll kick fuck outta of you everywhere...do you know billy and dalton and well fuck off ...

[jazz4]

@geoffdoor You can barely string a sentence together you moron, be quiet. You're not going to do anything, you're impressing no one.

[geoffdoor]

@jazz4 who are you calling a moron - i'll kick fuck outta you and knock the shit outta of you and i don't care whose watching - i'll kick shit outta of you in front of your kids ...

[geoffdoor]

@romalfanger if you ever call me a dumb fuck ever again ...i'll smash fuck outta of you ...i'll kick fuck outta of you up and down the street all day long ...

[romalfanger]

@geoffdoor

man, and i say this without any sarcasm, you are both reliable and hilarious. A man's gotta stick to his guns.

I don't want to see what it would look like if you were to "kick fuck outta" someone

[supak108]

@jazz4 well said

[raiderearl2006]

i think Bridges burned one before this interview...lol

[eca103]

best ever! Excellent Dylan's song, it adds lots...

[ejgiv]

Jeff Bridges must have really put himself into the role. He talks exactly like Lebowski!

[raiderearl2006]

@ejgiv ...or. is Lebowski posing as Bridges? ...lol

[TheLonghairraven]

@ejgiv no he didnt really try that hard for the role. he talks like that all the time, watch other interviews!

[zapfly]

sign the petition for "Big Lebowski 2 / the Dude returns"(or whatever) by thumb up!

[MrMagician1]

there were doing the whole twin/brother thing before the veronicas.

[TheWailers31]

@flyby7a As much as I love this movie, which I do very much, the big lebowski 2 would be overkill. All I hope for is another script and cast as good as this one for the next coen brothers movie

[blueballsredhair]

@TheWailers31 If the coens decide to make the film, it will be just fine.

[flyby7a]

Come on Cohen Dudes get with it.. Where is the Big Lebowski 2 ???

[jfulbright]

I'm so in love with Jeff Bridges, I can't even express it.

[nra4ever1973]

They could easily enter the Olympic synchronized nail picking event and get the gold!

[jackal9188]

Lol I like how they both play with their nails

[bamb00zled70]

it's amazing how unremarkable these two remarkable intellects are in person

[justdeliver]

8:15 say nothing, Mr. Goodman, you did PERFECT

[staphinfection]

Not a single fucking oscar nomination.... That's a god damned sin. Oh well, finally Bridges won for his acting this year. He is so amazing.

[zac42033]

you want a toe? i can get you a toe!

[TheHelgeland]

OH dont piss on my rug man

[cynosureCSAF]

they're both holding one little peice of basamiti rice

[autodrivex]

It's amazing how a couple of exceedingly boring individuals could make such a classic film.

[Tigerlily21]

I wouldn't say boring. Just chill and laid back. And they both have a very dry sense of humor which I like.

[12inchvertical]

couple of burgers, couple of beers... our fucking troubles are over dude

[franzken]

i cant even undrstand any when im high its like rpeating and rpeatin and i will just stop it and just chill

[oburke123]

what does he mean by a 'chandler novel'?

[RottenDoctorGonzo]

@oburke123 Raymond Chandler wrote The Big Sleep, a novel/film that Lebowski is loosly based on. Chandler wrote much detective fiction of the kind Lebwoski pays tribute to. classic, from 30s, etc.

[alexdakidda]

jeff bridges was funny as fuck in this film coen brothers films are amazing.

[DrexlSpivey]

OVER THE LINE!!

[MillaHead]

Ah - I fell asleep!

What were they saying?

[belisariusorb]

You're not wrong Walter, you're just an asshole

[jazz4]

i dont care about their hands, like at all.

[therealdude100]

SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNY

[x3JoeysGirl08]

i do that with my hands when i'm bored or thinking

[zackpliskin]

Is Jeff Bridges in character for this interview or is he just really similar to The Dude in real life?

[Druffmaul]

He probably burned one on the way over.

[petehuss]

@zackpliskin Yes.

[kevbomb]

you wanna toe? I can get you a toe

[KraftwithaK]

Seems they may be working on friendship bracelets for each other during the interview.

[futurestoryteller]

@KraftwithaK

LOL! Friendship bracelets for your brother...

[photosynthesis808]

what are they both doing with their hands?

[safetosaydontquoteme]

picking their nails, probably bad habit.... they seem nervous as fuck.

[danthebard]

their socially awkward but they know interviews are something people like watching and will make people watch the movie

i have to admit i don't perform best in social situations either :3

[rentatrip1]

the plot is just getting in the way of people enjoying the Movie ?

DUDE ? ... Dude

[iDraw3G]

they're socially retarded

[ianmattl]

A lot of really creative, great artists are uncomfortable in typical social settings. I'll take the art and let the Coen bros. worry about their social skills. (Actually, I'm pretty sure they don't give a shit.)

I would take that genius and creativity over the ability to charm people all day.

[jazz4]

One of the best Jew-Fro's Ive ever seen.

[richmond436]

If these guys are so uncomfortable at talking, why did they agree to the interview?

[anesthesiac]

why are they both picking their nails religiously? lol

[ianmattl]

Because they can.

[rentatrip1]

it is a freudian slip they both have a genetic trait which makes them pick their nails in Tandem-

[MozTS]

@anesthesiac

coens

[sidewalkpilot]

@anesthesiac AH HA HA. good fucking question.

[raiderearl2006]

@anesthesiac because that's what genius brothers do..hehe

[geoffdoor]

@raiderearl2006 take your tongue outta of their assess you fucking slag

[geoffdoor]

@anesthesiac totally agree...shit boring film as well...johnny bridges should be ashamed

[anesthesiac]

@geoffdoor

I never said it was a boring movie. I fucking love this movie. YOU should be ashamed for not appreciating it's amazingness, you ass-hat.

[geoffdoor]

@anesthesiac ass hat- i'll knock you the fucking out if you speak to me like that again...i don't care whose watching i'll kick outta ya ...no jog on you fucking prick

[anesthesiac]

@geoffdoor

This is what we like to call an "empty threat." Well done.

[gilljoy]

Superb!! best movie eva!!!

[houseoffirefilms]

Glad to see a good Coens interview. There seems to be a dearth of them for some reason...
