Salva, I loved this. Of course The Big Lebowski is one of my all-time favorite movies and you perfectly captured both its “noirness” and its “Coen-ness” in your playfully insightful STC analysis. I look forward to reading more and will certainly get the book. Bravo.
Thank you so much, Tom! I enjoyed beat-ing the film and I think it shows :) Cheers!
I just read about the book and the list of films you examine. Your choices are impeccable. Super-excited about the book! It does Blake proud. Long live the STC brand!
Thanks Tom! We were very careful with the film choices and had fun with them :) I hope you like the book! Cheers!
Like always you are the best. Thank you!
Thanks to you, Fernando! :)
