Went with the Large, its a motivation thing. I started 2012 at 235 lbs. As of this morning I was 195 lbs. I have a few "motivational" clothing items, things I really like but bought in the size I want to be rather than the size I am to motivate me to get there.

Using a Lebowski sweater for motivation seems very un-Dude.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

And I'm not trying to be all wet blanket in here. I was just genuinely curious about what I missed (or didn't identify with).

It's cool, I couldn't make it through Fear and Loathing either, but yes the one liners and simple living of the Dude is just enjoyable to watch. I also really enjoy the secondary cast members.

In trying to qualify what I like about this film...I think it mainly comes down to The Dude's lifestyle, appealing to the small part of me that would love nothing more than to smoke pot and go bowling all day long. That aside, it has some genuinely amusing moments, and the characters are all very fun to watch. Lastly, the bizarre-o/surreal tone of the film is an interesting departure from the norm.

edit: didn't see flountown's post. More or less, that.
