Review
"It's safe to say the executive bums of Lebowski Fest Will Russell, Scott Shuffitt and Bill Green are the national experts on "The Big Lebowski," what David Gergen is to White House politics. If CNN needed a talking head to opine about white Russians and the condition Lebowski is in, they'd interview these guys."-"The Courier-Journal" (Louisville, Kentucky)
Product Description
In 1998, the Coen Brothers followed the global success of their smash hit "Fargo" with a rambling tale of lies, corruption and bowling in early 90s "L.A. - The Big Lebowski". It flopped at the box office. But in the years that followed, the movie took on a life of its own, spawning a culture of quotable lines, White Russians and even Lebowski Fest, an annual event attracting thousands of Big Lebowski die-hards. "I'm a Lebowski, You're a Lebowski ("That's terrific") the curators of Lebowski Fest" offers the complete guide to one of the few true cult movies of the last twenty years, with photographs, real locations and interviews with the stars of the film, including John Turturro, John Goodman, Julianne Moore and Steve Buscemi - and a foreword by the Dude himself, Jeff Bridges. The book also contains a glossary, trivia questions and the ultimate soundtrack listing - in other words, the whole Lebowski. "Within the pages of this book, you'll find out how to order a White Russian like an Achiever, how to react when an Asian-American pees on your rug, how to think like a nihilist, and more. You'll also read interviews with the real-life eccentrics who inspired the film's main characters, the actors who played them, and the famous siblings who conjured the whole thing up. We'll throw ourselves into the mix as well, hopping into our own Dude-mobile (a 1972 Plymouth Fury III, complete with rust colorations just like the movie) to journey around the country gathering interviews and anecdotes. We'll also reveal our own stories about how we came to love the movie and launch Lebowski Fest."

It's a good book... and thorough. Very witty and not at all obsessed or stalkerish. If you love The Big Lebowski and count it among your cult favourites, then you will love this. Just one warning: Do you have to use so many cuss words, Dude?

i loved 'the big lebowski' movie, but didn't get a lot of the cultural references. i had heard it was in some ways based on 'the big sleep' but not much more than that. this book really got to the heart of 'the big lebowski' for anyone who ever enjoyed the movie. it goes into the background of how the coens came up with the movie and their ideas (although they aren't interviewed themselves - apparently they shy away from interviews). it also interviews the actors but even better, the real life characters who were the inspirations for 'the dude' 'walter' even donnie the kid whose homework was in the car! it also shows which parts of the movie were actually based on real anecdotes and occurrences. it also discusses how the whole lebowski-fest took off and how 'the big lebowski' became such an underground hit.
all in all, i enjoyed this book far more than i thought i would.
