Perhaps no person on the planet can surpass the cool factor showcased by Jeff Bridges as “The Dude” in the Coen brothers’ 1998 cult classic, The Big Lebowski. The man’s staple wardrobe is a bathrobe and Jellies, for chrissakes. He writes checks for $2 quarts of half and half in order to make White Russians, listens to the sounds of bowling tournaments on headphones in order to inspire a meditative state and truly understands that a good rug—one that really ties the room together—is hard to find. Screw those Dos Equis commercials; the Dude is unequivocally the most interesting man in the world. Witness this classic protagonist’s antics—alongside the acting genius of Steve Buscemi, John Goodman, John Turturro and Julianne Moore—at Anaheim’s Cinema Fusion. Viking helmets are encouraged.
