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).

Add me to the list of people who haven't seen 'The Great Lebowski'. Until you posted the summary in the comments, I wasn't sure what it was about either (and while I've heard the references, I've never been bothered to look it up). It doesn't seem like it would be my thing either.
