The Dude-drink-a-thon

The other day me and Alex were thinking up new ideas for features for the site whilst we enjoyed a few beers.  Alex likes a drink or two and came up with an idea where we could combine his favourite things, movies and booze (he did want to include boobies too but I wasn’t prepared to let him oggle mine).  During this ‘brainstorming’ session the drink-a-thon was born.

The idea is we watch classic movies, whilst playing drinking games related to the film and then try to review them afterwards.  We couldn’t possibly write up our reviews so we’re going to film them all.

So first up we present The Big Lebowski Dude-drink-a-thon.

The movie:  The Big Lebowski

The Big Lebowski is a 1998 American comedy film written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Jeff Bridges stars as Jeffrey Lebowski, an unemployed Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler, who refers to himself as “the Dude”.

After being mistaken for a multimillionaire who has the same name, Lebowski is commissioned to deliver a million-dollar ransom in order to secure the release of the millionaire’s kidnapped trophy wife. The plan goes awry, and the Dude’s friend Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) further complicates the ordeal.

The rules:

The Dude loves white russians and drinks about 9 during the film so this was the obvious choice of drink.  So the rule is simply every time the word Dude is used in the film we drink at least one finger of a strong white russian (we were going to neck the rest of the drink every time the Dude drank but we quickly forgot about that rule).

The result:

Please be aware that the more we drink the looser our tongues get so it is Not Safe For Work.
