Mother: Have you ever heard of the Great Lebowski?
ME: Yes, it's an Ethan Cohen Brother's film that everyone appears to love but me. I can't make it through it - and have tried repeatedly. Wales adores it and celebrates the holiday of The Dude. Jeff Bridges starred in it and it involves..."bowling".
Mother: Bowling.
Me: Pretty certain. Why?
Mother: Cillian Murphy recommended it in an interview - it's a favorite of his - he sees it with his sons. (We both have a crush on Cillian Murphy.)
Me: Yeah, well...I've never been able to get through that film. It's not my brand of humor or not my wheel house.
Mother: Oh, yeah, probably won't like it then.. (I doubt it - she doesn't like that style of humor either.)
Although, I've not really met anyone else who doesn't like that movie. I've been bullied into seeing that movie more times than I can count. It's gotten to the point in which I just walk away from conversations about it and let people know up front - no, not a movie that works for me - bye now. Pretending to like it - doesn't work, you end with people attacking you with lines from it (yes, people have it memorized).
