@BigViffer OMG-John Goodman's character?! What a tool. I had the most immense frustration the whole time I watched him. I just wanted to smack him and tell him to shove off! *snort* (This close. I'm serious. This close to shouting at the tv to eff off. LOL.)

1. Since when is there a guys only section and how come I didn't know.

2. The Big Lebowski is a character study of The Dude. And The Dude abides. It's just funny.

3. Napolean Dynamite is almost the exact same thing. It's just funny because the characters are funny.

@Half-Tum Dear God. Now I'm going to have to watch it a 6th time, JUST to find something abiding in The Dude! (Yes, even though Mr. Fluffy knows I have a movie crush on Jeff Bridges--I still couldn't make it through the movie. It's literally my nephew's favorite movie. LOL)

@BigViffer See? Now you've got at least one new, very fun playmate. And there is also @cjsunshine of CJ and the Sunshine Band fame--who should also go play in the Guys' Room. And there are others (I just am drawing a blank on their nics right this instant)...to quote yet another dude film--this one totally awesome...If you build it, they will come. :D

bahahahahahaha! I swear, I'm the only person on the face of the earth that just doesn't get it!? Is it that The Dude just keeps rollin' with the punches no matter how craptastic his day is going? What am I missing? The last time I was this confused, Napoleon Dynamite was still in high school and Pedro was still running for class office! (I did eventually end up voting for Pedro btw.)


It's the dialog.
You have to pay close attention to the dialog, that's why it is a classic.
The scene where Walter pulls the gun on Smokey for stepping over the line is done so well. John Goodman actually looks insane.
And yes Walter is an a*****e and a terrible friend, but that's why it is so funny. Why would anyone be friends with such an a*****e?
The whole thing about Walter watching his ex wife's dog while she is in Hawaii with her boyfriend, hilarious.
"You brought a Pomeranian bowling?"
"What do you mean brought it bowling? I'm not buying it a f*cking beer, I'm not renting it f*cking shoes, he's not taking your f*cking turn Dude"

It's funny.
One of my all time favorite movies.
My username is John Goodmans character from that film.

@Walter.Sobchak Hilarious. I didn't put your name together with JG's character! Thanks for 'splainin' me.

Dang! I gotta ask though, where are the women on this thread?!!! We need 'em for movie discussion! :D

Well, I appreciate having things 'splained to me. Now I guess I have to watch the movie again... no promises, though.

One of the funniest movies I can think of is Meet the Parents. First time, wasn't so funny. But upon repeat viewing, danged if it didn't get funnier and funnier. My hubby remains unimpressed.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
