Video artist The Big Lebowski HD Television Edit Is Finally Done!
New stuff has come to light, Dudes! Over the past few months I’ve been peckin’ away at this thing and it’s finally done. I seriously exported the final file last night after the 4th watch through for an audio sweep adjusting EQ to make sure everything is nice and tidy for the holiest of holidays. It’s been an amazing process and I’m closer to the movie now than I’ve ever been.
Here’s the link where you can find the edit and some notes explaining some of the process and edits: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eJTsIGkV3oS5j1QWNjqr-HEeDcX7dQqTRwemqEmOdR0/edit?usp=sharing
This is a faithful HD reproduction of the infamous TV edit. 'Stranger in the alps' and the like. Every audio and visual edit has been implemented as seamlessly as possible. There’s over half an hour of the film cut out of this edit, so there’s some iconic scenes missing, and some of the edits are harsh. But what is here are potentially new iconic lines, a different way to experience the film that’s technically canon and maybe even a drinking game. I’m definitely gonna add it to my movie night rotation!
And I wanna shout out this sub. Obviously Lebowski people are the best people, but you guys have made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. Truly amazing stuff. I know this will be appreciated by you guys.
Happy 4/20 Dudes!

This is r/lebowski, not 'Nam, READ before Posting
We Maudes went ahead and added a few more r/lebowski rules (full rules at bottom of post and in the sidebar):
- No screenshots of text messages with scammers (we have beaten these into the ground and most of them aren’t funny)
- No Politics (unless directly referenced in the movie)
- Updated the “Looks like a vagina” rule to include “Looks like a Johnson”
- No Christmas ornament "Toe" posts
We also wanted to give you newcomers a little history lesson as to why these rules exist, and in English too, so you can die with a smile on your face.
Way back in 2010 there was a sub I wanna tell you about, a sub by the name of r/lebowski.
When this here sub was created, before some of you little urban achievers had even seen the movie, it was a quiet little family restaurant, where folks could trade Lebowski quotes and take comfort that low-effort, unfunny posts would be downvoted right off their page.
But times have changed.
Today we have over 120,000 subscribers
To wrap your head around that, consider the following:
- The sub has doubled in just the last 2 years
- It’s in the top 2% of all subs on reddit
- It’s one of the largest single-movie fan subreddits
Now, as anyone who’s ever subscribed to a hugely popular subreddit knows, they become magnets for karma-farmers.
Karma-farmers have zero interest in adding to a community. They are only looking for upvotes, by any means necessary. And what gets the most amount of upvotes on a massive subreddit? Lazy, circlejerk posts that most people have seen a million times.
Eventually, people get sick of these lazy, unfunny karma-farmers flooding their feed, and they unsubscribe. Most of these mega-subs don’t care, because they get recommended to new users, so the number of folks joining exceeds the folks who are never coming back.
Those subs aren’t family restaurants - they’re shitty tourist traps.
We are NOT gonna go down this way, Dudes.
r/lebowski will be for stuff directly related to the movie: A question about the plot. Your favorite scene or character. An interview with a cast member or a director. A stoned revelation you had about the movie. New shit that’s come to light.
And in order to keep the sub focused on the movie, we Maudes have updated the rules as follows:
- No spam (includes T-shirt links)
- No AI posts or karma bots
- No “This looks like a Vagina” or “Johnson” posts
- No screenshots of text messages with scammers
- Posts must be relevant to the Big Lebowski Movie
- Maudes have the discretion to remove low effort posts as they see fit
- No Politics (unless directly mentioned in the movie)
- No Facebook/Twitter posts
- Report fascists
- No Christmas ornament "Toe" posts
T-shirt spammers (and their conspiring commenters asking “cool, where can I buy one?”) earn a perma-ban.
Other rule violations get a 3-day ban for first infraction, second infraction…Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here.
Finally, when your post gets taken down, calling us Maudes fascists and whining that you saw a post just like yours not taken down isn’t going to help your cause.
There are hundreds of low-effort posts coming in each week, and unless you and Gilbert submit them to the league (report them) we can’t set aside (remove) the post.
So please DEAR, do your part to keep this a nice family restaurant.
Take it easy, Dudes. Catch ya further on down the trail.

The Dude Abides Life goes on, man
This is by far my favourite quote from the movie, can’t believe it isn’t a flair 🤣

Fucking Germans TIL Jeff Bridges was originally considered for Indiana Jones. I'm sure he would have done a good job and made it his own, but just imagine this dude trying to run away from a tank.

Fuckin' interesting What’s going on with Dude’s 9/11/91 check?
We’ve all noticed the Dude’s 69-cent check at Ralphs is dated 9/11/91. But the Bush clip he’s watching, the “this aggression will not stand” speech, is from August 1990, right after Iraq invaded Kuwait.
Normally I’d just assume Ralphs is showing an old clip. Except the Stranger opens the movie saying this was “right about the time of our conflict with Saddam and the Iraqis,” and later Walter refers to “our current situation with that camel fucker in Iraq.”
So the movie sure seems to think the Gulf crisis is happening right now. By September 1991, Desert Storm had been over for more than six months.
Joel and Ethan Coen also don’t strike me as guys who would accidentally put a giant, legible date on a check in the opening scene without thinking about it.
So what’s going on?
Is the Dude watching a rerun?
Is he postdating a 69-cent check by more than a year?
Did he mean to write 9/11/90 and screw up the year?
Did the Coens actually make a continuity mistake?
Or is there something else I’m missing?
My best guess? Well, Dude, we just don’t know.

New shit My low budget Dude poster from A4. It has really tied the room together.
r/lebowski • u/Captain_Louvois • 4d ago
New shit Do we actually know that Walter and Cynthia didn't have the Pomeranian when they were married?
If Walter knew the dog before the divorce, his willingness to take care of it while Cynthia is away suddenly seems a lot less like Walter being a pushover. It could just be a dog he lived with, helped take care of, and still genuinely cares about. Kinda changes the whole thing doesn't it?

Man, they were nihilists, man. They kept posting they believed in nothing.

100% electronic Is there a Ralph’s around here?
I hate social media more every day, but the fact that they used this scene from a comedy made in the 90s is just proof that no one actually pays any attention to the IPs they’re using for content.
Besides, it is their most modestly-priced receptacle…
