Documentary

[cckeiser]

You got that right milnie! Meekon5 is certainly the right dude to talk to...he's a good man and thorough.

Thankee Meekon5 for the update...looking forward to the end result!!

We are still trying to arrange an initial chat about the documentary, hopefully manage that tomorrow.

Will give more updates then.

We've amended the documentary slightly and now we're focusing soley on Dudeism, my director is looking to find out more and he is looking to become a Dudeist.

Meekon5 has been very kind to let us meet him and share his experience with Dudeism, is there anyone else who is on the other side of things? He brought up the Dudeist and Lebowskiist line and we would very much be interested to speak to anyone who does dress up like the Dude and quotes the film; its very clear people have their own approaches to it and we want to be able to investigate both sides.

Has anyone talked with Ollie (The Dudely Lama) yet? center@dudeism.com
He started this whole thing...I think someone should at least talk to him.

Becoming a Dudeist is easy...if you think you're a Dudeist...you are probably a Dudeist. Becoming an Ordained Dudeist Priest is a little bit harder...You gotta fill out the the form dude: http://dudeism.com/ordination/

A form? Sounds exhausting. Is there a non-form for us hard-core slackers?

Though Ollie's point of view is always valued lets not forget he's not the Pope (as in he and he alone has direct communication with the Dude).

And I know Ollie would be the first person to admit he doesn't have all the answers just because he was the first to coin the term Dudeist. There were a lot of us that were living the Dudeist life before the phrase occurred to Ollie (Including Ollie himself).

As I've said before Dudeist is the label for those in my life (who think they need to label things) to use to label me just to keep them quiet.

The guys here only have fifteen minutes to fill, and the scope of the documentary was originally to cover a number of "Nouveau-religious" points of view and compare them, then through the natural process of evolution it has been narrowed down to just focusing on Dudeism.

Be assured I am not representing myself as the one true viewpoint on Dudeism, everything has to be IMDO (in my dudeist opinion).

...He brought up the Dudeist and Lebowskiist line and we would very much be interested to speak to anyone who does dress up like the Dude and quotes the film...

Your best bet is to talk to the facebook site for Lebowskiist's.

i've been in touch with them and am happy to participate. i'm also happy that upstanding dudeists like meekon are in the UK for them to interview. it's true that i'm not the pope. i'm more of the editorial-we-in-chief. i'm happy to delegate as much as i can! but even delegating can sometimes be hard work. i'm happy for anyone to take on any spreading of the dude word, even if i don't necessarily agree with their take on dudeism. i'd like to think that like a good living system, dudeism is self-correcting. am i wrong?

[forumdude]

sorry, i should have said "downsitting" instead of "upstanding." more dude.

Just like my opinion, man; but I would put this urban achievement Documentary on YouTube and embed it on the Dudeism main site. It's a beginning history of "dudes of Dudeism" for history to record.

.....that's my thought for the day, I'm gettin' lane. Anyone want to roll a few?

[meekon5]

We were going to meet up today, but one of the team has ben struck ill (nothing too serious but still inconvenient), so we're going to re-arrange for later.

We should have Olivers original advert on permanent link.

Is that the vw ad or have I missed something ?

Well you've got the VW documentary and then the new one from last years world tour when that comes out. He's a real media hussy.

[forumdude]

ha ha. yes yes. duder's weakness is vanity!

there's a new video out where i foolishly got drunk and got talked into wearing a wig (i had short hair at the time) to look more dude-like. i'm going to have to post an article at the dudespaper explaining how it went down. i look like i'm taking the piss out of the whole thing. goddamn white russians in the middle of the day.

[cckeiser]

Any word on when the "world tour" video will be out?

[forumdude]

unfortunately i've been sidetracked by some awful personal shit, which has delayed lots of dudeist projects.  i left thailand last summer to do some filming and found that my mom had a terminal illness. after months of helping her out and helping her fight it she finally passed away two weeks ago. so i'm trying to get back in the saddle. it's been a rough year. but i hope things will start looking more abideful from here on out.
