Section: Lebowskia | Date: September 27th, 2009
It’s no secret that Joel and Ethan Coen have distanced themselves from the cult surrounding their masterpiece The Big Lebowski. When contacted regarding the Lebowskifest fellas’ book I’m a Lebowski, You’re a Lebowski, they famously responded with "They have neither our blessing nor our curse."
Recently they showed their newest film A Serious Man at the Toronto Film Festival and after mentioning that they are hoping to get Jeff Bridges to star in an upcoming remake of True Grit, a reporter asked them what they thought of Dudeism. According to an article at Comingsoon, this was Joel’s reply:
“Nobody’s more surprised than we are.”
Well, there you have it! The official Coen Brothers response to the religion of 60,000 ordained Dudeist Priests which takes their brilliant film as its sacred source. Short, sweet, funny and to the point. We wouldn’t have expected anything more from these esteemed auteurs of wry understatement.
Also read about it at ArtVoice.
If anyone can locate a video of it, please let us know.

I think Joel and Ethan just told Oliver, “And a good day to you, sir!”
Fuckin’ A, Man
Nobody’s more surprised than they are?!
What about all the rumors the Coens are the real Church Fathers, and that the D-Lama is just their spokespuppet? Are those just apocryphal legends?
Wait, are you trying to say Roderick Jaynes is to film editing as Dudely Lama is to Dudeism?
No, it’s just what I heard
Cool. They have their own path to pursue.
Ol’ Nobody’s had his share of the Pi. It’s time to roll over and let the Dude take a poke at the ol’ donut hole. However, if the Kohains are still running the show, it’s just more of the same ol’ samme ol’.
