I like Mark Oppenheimer’s take on the Coen Bros 1998 film,The Big Lebowski

… above all I loved the movie’s deep unseriousness.

I mean, can one get more unserious than this? (from Nerditorial)

That lack of seriousness touched a chord - the same unserious chord that was touched for me by the 2004 Alexander Payne film Sideways.

This is a chord that doesn’t get touched enough these days. And I agree with Mark that a book that tries to make sense of Lebowski’s “koans” is essentially BS.

So here is my question - why are there so few light hearted unserious movies around these days? I need more!
