Was wondering what would you have included in the movie, scenes that were not there?
I would have did some flash backs to the dude's to the Dude's life in college (to develop the character more) of his days of...
One--oh! Heh-heh. You never went to college?
Well, yeah I did, but I spent most of my time occupying various, um, administration buildings--
--smoking thai-stick, breaking into the ROTC--
--and bowling. I'll tell you the truth, Brandt, I don't remember most of it.--Jeez! Fuck me!
Given that the Dude didn't remember much of it, we could have seen a bit of his past anyway. I think it would have made the character come even more alive. Also, maybe the time the three all met...Donny, Dude, Walter.
Definitely some Walter flashbacks to his Vietnam days
