What is Dudeism? And what does it have to do with Buddhism?

  "The Day of the Dude is now celebrated worldwide."...far fuckin' out!

Jeff Bridges is known for being one of America's favorite actors, but the part that gets him stopped on the street the most, according to him, is his role as The Dude in the 1998 cult classic, "The Big Lebowski." It's an absurdist dark comedy that got mixed reviews when it first hit theaters (most critics had no idea what to make of the Coen brothers' film):

In it, the Dude is a White Russian-swilling, pot-smoking, pacifist bowler, and along with John Goodman playing an hilariously warped Vietnam vet, a pre-botched-plastic-surgery Tara Reid as the ridiculous ingenue, Julianne Moore as a painfully serious feminist painter, and a cluelessly obsequious Steve Buscemi as the buddy-sidekick, it's a film that was never meant to be a blockbuster.
