Abide and Conquer

Why does the cult stoner bowling comedy The Big Lebowski have traction a decade after its release? “Look Book” dropped in on this year’s Lebowski Fest—a party held at Lucky Strike Lanes in which fans came dressed as their favorite characters— to see what the various Jesuses, nihilists, and Dudes had to say.

How did you put together your costume?
It came out of the closet, man. I’ve been the Dude all along. They basically made a movie about me.

What do you do in real life?
I save lives. It all comes back to the quote, “Her life is in your hands, Dude.” We have used that line in the CAT-scan room.
