2/ Phillip Seymour Hoffman was such an excellent actor, quality actor. There are so many big name actors that don't/ can't act. Jack Nicholson is just always Jack Nicholson. Tom Cruise is just always Tom Cruise... but PSH just BECAME different people in each movie Astounding

3/ In lesser hands, Walter would be a joke. In Lebowski he's...well, he's a man for his time and place (The tragedy is that that time and place is Nam, not Los Angeles). Very good character writing. ... It'd be so great if each of us could find our time and place.

4/ I don't know when and where I'm supposed to live, but I don't think it's here and now. Everything here and now is so pointless and stupid, and amounts to absolutely nothing.

5/ So many tiny perfect details. Dude says to Walter "F you and F the tournament". Walter is taken aback. "F the TOURNAMENT?!" Perfection.

6/ "Who is this guy? " And Maude explains "Knox Harrington", and when the Dude doesn't get it, she adds "the video artist!" as if THAT conclusively settles it. Five words, and it does so much to explain the gulf in their social crowds, and her IGNORANCE of that gulf. Amazing.

“New shit has come to light, man!”

The way that bits of the mass media pablum and propaganda of that era filter through into dialogue, with the perfect amount of modification to lend it verisimilitude, is just perfect. “This aggression will not stand, man!”
