My favourite movie is The Big Lebowski. It contains the following hilarious scene (one of many: the whole film is a blast from start to finish) in which The Dude (Jeff Bridges) and Walter (John Goodman) question a teenager who they believe has broken into The Dude's car and stolen a bag of money. Their evidence for this is largely based on the flashy car parked outside said teenager's house...
(There is bad language in this clip: BUT THAT'S THE POINT!)
When shown on TV, this sequence has been edited to cut the bad language down, substituting some ridiculous nonsense for the original swearwords...
I'm guessing Phoebe Bridgers must be a Lebowski fan also, since she's named her excellent debut album after the nonsense above. It's called A Stranger In The Alps.
Bridgers has a gorgeous voice that reminds me of Sinead O'Connor crossed with Aimee Mann. And like both those artists, she's not afraid to paint her songs with gallons of neurosis as in the track below, one of many listen again & again moments from A Stranger In The Alps. Her songwriting is reminiscent of both E and John Grant, and apparently she's mates with Ryan Adams also... well, you get the picture. Enjoy the cynical, world-weary loveliness...
That's pretty darn good Rol - can see the Aimee and Sinead influences
ReplyDeleteVery funny clips - Nice song too, and I love her look. Despite what I wrote earlier today she makes me want to be young again.
ReplyDeleteLove the clips, what ridiculous censorship; honestly, what do they take us for? And why censor it anyway, it's not as if the rest of the film is all wholesome and child-friendly cuddly - I seem to remember something about a severed toe...
ReplyDeleteI like Phoebe's look too btw.
