(For SI blog readers Shadowfax Arbit, Gandhiji and Mallukuttan)

Now that Jeff Bridges has won the Best actor Oscar, it’s time for a deko at some of his movies.

We’ve watched his Arlington Road back in the days when Blockbuster used to stock mostly video cassettes.

So when two three SI blog readers recently suggested The Big Lebowski, we thought why not since the movie is easily accessible on Netflix Instant Play.

Directed and written by the Coen brothers Joel and Ethan, The Big Lebowski debuted in 1998 to mostly favorable reviews.

Besides Jeff Bridges, the other members of the film’s cast include John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, Julianne Moore, Tara Reid, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Elliott, Peter Stormare, John Turturro, Jon Polito and Ben Gazzara.

OK, kids. We’ve watched 22 minutes of the film so far.

Yes, we’ve met The Dude.

The Chinaman has peed on his rug.

One of The Dude’s buddies has drawn a firearm at the bowling alley.

The Dude’s stolen a fancy rug from Mr.Lebowski’s place.

And The Dude is back at Mr.Lebowski’s place! Why? We have no clue yet.

You can be sure we’ll update this post after we finish the 117-minute movie.

Update:

Don’t you call him Lebowski! He’s the Dude.

Folks, dudes, Jeff Bridges should have received the Oscar 12 years back for his solid performance in The Big Lebowski.

A fine movie, folks. Mucho like.

Some of our readers whine (what else would these schmucks do) that we have an inherent bias against Indian movies and Indian film stars.

Ha ha ha.

Folks, you watch comedies like The Big Lebowski and actors like Jeff Bridges (The Dude) and John Goodman (who plays the Dude’s buddy and Vietnam War veteran) and then you see Ajith, Abhishek Bachchan and Jagapati Babu peeing all over themselves time and again. Continue reading »

Statutory Warning: All Religions are Equally Stupid

The Wall Street Journal on Saturday featured an interview with Hamas traitor Mosab Hassan Yousef, a confessed spy for Israeli security agency Shin Bet, a convert to Christianity and also oldest son of a Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef.

In the interview, here’s what the Hamas traitor Mosab has to say about Muslims and their God Allah:

The problem is not in Muslims. The problem is with their God. They need to be liberated from their God. He is their biggest enemy. It has been 1,400 years they’ve been lied to.
Source: Wall Street Journal, The Weekend Interview, P. A13 (Print Edition), 3/6/2010

Although we’re not convinced by Mossab’s new-found love for ‘grace, love and humility’ in Christianity, we’re inclined to be sympathetic toward his unsympathetic views on Allah, professed as they are by a traitor with a political asylum application pending before the U.S. government.

You see, as we slowly trudge down the pages of the Quran, Allah’s tyrannical views, loathing for disbelievers and contemptuous disdain for a live and let live worldview seeps through strongly, starkly and yes, even sinfully.

Allah’s way is the way of the tyrant – My Way or Everlasting Fires of Hell for You.

Not an enthralling prospect.

Again and again and again, Allah stokes the malicious embers in the hearts of the people through the verses in his Quran.

And sadly, the Muslims, for whom the Quran is more potent than the combination of the Bible, Torah and Bhagavad Gita, tend to take everything in the Quran as the last word.

After all, isn’t the Quran the word of Allah, and the recipe for Muslims’ very existence.

Here are some of the verses in the Quran that feature Allah behaving in an un-God like fashion and shows him in a poor light (By the way, God with a capital G in the verses below is a reference to Allah):

But the disbelievers will have a drink of scalding water, and agonizing torment, because they persistently disbelieved. (Sura 10 Aya 4)

Those who do not expect to meet Us and are pleased with the life of this world, contenting themselves with it and paying no heed to Our signs, shall have the Fire for their home because of what they used to do. But as for those who believe and do good deeds, their Lord will guide them because of their faith. Streams will flow at their feet in the Gardens of Bliss. (Sura 10 Aya 8,9 & 10)

Who could be more wicked than someone who invents lies against God or denies His revelations? The guilty will never prosper. (Sura 10 Aya 17)

If ‘agonizing torment’ and ‘scalding water’ are assuredly what awaits people for the mere misdemeanor of disbelief, then Allah is no God. No matter his repeated claims to omniscience and omnipotence. Continue reading »
