      @@herr5262 Which reinforces one of the rules of nature that I think explains so much about political science and culture: most people are stupid! But I was also talking about just those 2 actors in general. Buscemi and Goodman are two of my favorite actors ever. If I see their name on a film (with the exception of extended toy commercials masquerading as movies, i.e., Transformers) I always give it a look because they can make anything interesting. They are also great actors because unlike a lot of actors, they can play all sorts of different characters. BTW, you probably know this but Big Lebowski is (among other things) an adaptation of scenes and characters from Raymond Chandler's novels like The Big Sleep with The Dude as Philip Marlow.
