Hello, in case this is your first time watching the Big Show, I'm the movie fella, Case Bowman. This is our last show of the term, so if it is your first time watching, man you screwed up. To Jessica and Jennifer, wassup wit dat? Anyway, for this, the last review of the term, I saw the motion picture, the Big Lebowski. It's a tale of corruption in the White House, an exposed sex scandal, and a presidency under turmoil.....wait No, no that would be the Big Lewinsky, I'm sorry my fault. I saw the one with John Goodman and Jeff bridges, neither oh whom get naked, thank god. The people associated with production of the film are the same folks who brought us Fargo, (accent) eh. Fellas, thanks a bunch. Jeff bridges plays an old hippie named Jeffery Lebowski, but anyone who knows him calls him dude. John Goodman (last in Fallen) is Walter, an old Vietnam vet who constantly has flashbacks. It also has the creepy fella (Steve Buscemi) from Fargo and Con Air in a smaller role, but nevertheless he's hilarious. This movie is one of the best comedies I've seen in the theater for awhile. As I dug through the archives I noticed this is the only comedy that I've reviewed so far, so I feel like this might be a good note to go out on. First class all the way. It had myself and everyone else in the theater cracking up from beginning to end. It's a story that starts off with a couple of mysterious carpet pissers who ruin a dude's carpet, and moves on to him being hired to track down the other Lebowski in town's kidnapped wife. What happens along the way is a comedic and witty tale of two bowlers being led on a chase with everyone from German techno groups to spooky porn stars hunting the duo. I loved it all. At no point during the two hours did I ever predict what was going to come next, and each time the surprise was a little more clever then the one before. The people from Fargo have done it again, and this time, I found their attempt even better. This is one of those I wouldn't feel like a dope going to see again. To all you Titanic people, it's bad enough you knew the damn b o at was going to sink when you saw it the first time, but then you morons keep going back to see it sink again. Waste of money people, you're college students, you can barely afford to pay for school with 30 grand in student loans, but you can see Titanic 8 times in the evening. To quote my hero Bill Cosby, you people are brain dead!! Lebowski was a winner from the minute the picture starts till the time they role the credits. At last a movie about bowling that didn't make me want to shoot every fat bald guy on the face of the earth. So for this, the last edition of out and about winter term, The Big Lebowski receives a perfect score of ten out of ten, making this in association with Good Will Hunting my only two perfect scores of the term. And now for a note, I want to thank all you people who have watched me from the beginning of the term. I really have felt better and better to know that all three of you are watching every night. When I was a young boy growing up in the Midwest I used to beg my parents to take me to the movies, and now look at me. Mom dad, this is for you, thanks to Mike Stevens and the rest of Out and About, I can live my life knowing that I have achieved my goal. No more standing in front of the TV and giving reviews to an empty room. No more watching Siskel and Ebert with content and hatred, I love you all. If I am here or not next term depends on if Mike can come through with a Siskel like contract, I love this movie thing, but hey it's a business. I'm so happy I've reached the pinnacle of television broadcasting. Me...on KBVR-TV...wait A second KBVR. (get mad) dammit, Stevens told me they were going to start getting this on NBC. Who in the hell, hey what happened to syndication. Son of a...I'm out of here (undo the mic) thanks for watching everybody have a great spring break, and that's it for Case style.
