I've always viewed The Big Lebowski in a very religious light, and apparently someone else does, too. I mean, when it comes on, time stops. I'm reverent and sincere. I think some people feel that way about their religion, right? There is a new book coming out in 2009 that should pique some of our interests.
It's not on Amazon.com as we speak, but there's an unusual-sounding book by Chicago Sun-Times columnist Cathleen Falsani arriving in the spring of '09 called The Dude Abides: The Gospel According to the Coen Brothers. It will look at the 'serious existential and theological questions using the dark, intelligent humor and epic storytelling that have been their trademarks in more than a dozen films during the past 25 years.'"
"The Dude Abides 'will be a chronological examination of the Coen brothers' oeuvre—every film they have directed together, as well as the films for which they have written original screenplays and those they have adapted from
existing material,' the copy says. 'Falsani will investigate the theological, mythological, moral, ethical, religious and philosophical content and what their overarching message—their Gospel—might be.'"
Maybe some highly pressing questions like Did Donny go to Heaven? will be answered. And Does Walter really not roll on Shabbas? Either way, sounds a little tight.
