After a suggestion from a co-worker, I watched Arlington Road starring Tim Robbins and Jeff Bridges. This movie went nowhere and had about 3 sub plots and did a very bad job tying them in together. i was bored.

We have about 1500 songs.....all of them good!

Has anyone else had trouble taking Jeff Bridges seriously in any movie since Lebowski? Even with movies that he made before TBL, when I see them now, I keep thinking of him as the Dude.

After the Big Lebowski, I was shocked to learn that Jeff Bridges is actually attractive.

he made an album. mostly of soul/blues type music. most of the songs were original as well. the radio station in memphis rock103 used to play tracks from it all the time.

I've had this problem too. When I saw "the dude" posing as a respectable businessman in the awful Seabiscuit I just couldn't stop cracking up.

Bill, it was a different time. It was back when we didn't know the Russians were incompetent.
