Ok, a bit behind the times here, just saw it over the weekend. Lots of seemingly TBL refernces in my opinion, man. Movie opens with the first gig in a bowling alley, band plays on what looks like the Dude's rug and plenty more. :D

Fuckin A man, I have not had a chance to get that film yet but I heard the same thing about it man. Very interesting man.
Actually man I found/thought the same thing about "surfs up" when I watched Big Z pissing on mav's leg. I mean man the Big Z is a carbon copy of the Dude.
