All you Little Lebowski Urban Achievers out there to put on your bathrobe, fix a white Russian, and get out the bowling ball because “The Big Lebowski” is now streaming on Netflix Instant.

Just in time for Easter, you can relive all your favorite scenes (which is basically every scene) and quote them ad nauseum for your friends and relatives who probably don’t really understand what you are talking about. Why now? I guess because Tara Reid plays Bunny Lebowski? Let’s not argue. It’s a holiday. Nana is here.

Now, if you’ve never seen this modern day Coen brothers classic, it’s simply Jeff Bridges portrayal of one man’s struggle he faces after his rug gets pissed on.

We’ve all been there. It really tied the room together.

But if watching this at home is too rudimentary for you, it will be playing at Bowtie Cinemas for two nights as part of their Insomnia Theatre selection next weekend.

Dress up. So there’s that.

But for now, it’s time to dive back into a world of killer nihilist armed with marmots, bowling gurus/pedos, and much needed Eagles bashing. Yeah, maybe the movie is so beloved it’s almost becoming annoying, worn out, memed to death, and dare I say overly commercialized? Still, Internet fatigue be damned. It is a brilliant film and somehow stands up view after view.

John Goodman yelling obscenities will never ever lose its charm.

And yeah, well that’s just, like, uh your opinion man.
