In case you missed it, Tara Reid dropped a news bomb earlier this week.
In a red carpet interview with Hollywood.tv, she mentioned off-handedly that she'll be working on a sequel to "The Big Lebowski" later this year. The revelation was greeted with much confusion by basically everyone, as fans and reporter have been asking for years while filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen said, rightly I think, that there's really nothing there.
The Coens themselves were surprised as well, with Ethan telling Austin360, "I'm glad she's working on it. ... We don't [have a sequel in development] but we'll watch it when it comes out." Joel quickly added, "Especially if Tara's in it."
All of this talk of a "Lebowski" sequel sets the "what if" portion of my brain in motion. No matter how you slice it, I just don't see it, even if the news were real. There are so many other Coen movies that deserve it more.
Needless to say, spoilers ahead.

Call them "cult classics." "Guilty pleasures." "Comfort movies." We all have a mental rolodex of flicks that may not be terribly popular but, for one reason or another, they resonate in a very special way. Maybe you saw it at the right moment. Maybe you just see gold where everyone else sees feces. Whatever the case, these are the special favorites that you keep stashed away for sick days. Here are some of ours.
This weekend, my people will gather will their families to celebrate the high holy holiday of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. Following the weekend festivities, Jews enter into a week of repentence, concluding with a day of fasting on Yom Kippur.

You’ve memorized every line, counted all the “f”-words, and even dressed up as The Dude for Halloween. But admit it, you never got into “The Big Lebowski” until you discovered the under-performing box-office dud on home video.

'Inception' Gets Us Thinking About Other Awesome Dream Sequences
Posted 7/16/10 3:43 pm EST by Adam Rosenberg in Commentary
"Inception" is out today. You know this. I've been crowing about it all day. All week. The whole Internet has. It is freaking fantastic. Some critics disagree, and that's cool. In my own opinion though, it is director Christopher Nolan's finest effort to date.
I've intentionally avoided the more spoiler-y stories this week, the ones that ponder elements from the movie. You should all go see it and judge it by its own merits. I don't think it's any mystery anymore though that (minor spoiler alert) the movie deals with dreams. Film and TV is rife with cool dream sequences, but the ones featured in "Inception" definitely carve their own unique space in the realm of such things.
Still, there are some classic dream sequences out there. A few of which I've chosen to highlight in this blog post as my favorites. Read on, then share your own in the comments section below! Read More...
