Read an anniversary interview with Buscemi recently. He said someone told him a theory about Donnie which he particularly likes. Essentially, Donnie is a figment of Walter's imagination. He was a friend who died in Nam, but Walter can't face it. The Dude is aware of Walter's psychosis but accepts it. Notice the Dude almost never speaks Donnie, so it kind of works. Donnie's "death" at the end marks a pivotal moment in Walter's life in which he is moving on and now able to let go. Beating up the nihilists was a catalyst for that,
- if the dude never spoked to Donnie I can see that as a good theory, but he does!Meeklo
- still interestingMeeklo
- yeah he has a couple exchanges with him. plus he acknowledges he when has a heart attacklongtongued_liar
- indeed. interestinglongtongued_liar
- I think the only thing the Dude ever says is "Home, Donnie. Thank you, Donnie." Not sure though.harlequino
- That's an awesome theory, and it totally makes sense. I'm re watching it tonight, so lots to look out for!elahon
- haha love that theory! pretty well possible..janne76

^--- I forget the exact dialog interactions between the Dude and Donnie, but I'm interested in seeing if Walter initiates these interactions, and the Dude just "goes along." i.e. the heart attack seen. I don't remember if Walter is the first to acknowledge Donnie's condition or not. But on the flip side, the Dude is obviously pissed when Donnie's ashes blow in his face. Excellent theory, nonetheless.
- Yeah it's fun. Doesn't line up completely but it's fun to watch with this idea in mind.harlequino

Continuing the Donny thread some other things I noticed. Only Donnie ever bowls and he only ever throws strikes until the end when he gets a 9 just before his heart attack. Donnie is the only one who doesn't drink alchohol, only soda.

Check out the book "I'm a lebowski, you're a lebowski".
I thought I was the king of the lebowski super fans... this book made me realize I am not.
Mind if I do a J?
