Sweet baby Jesus

The weekend is a time to dial things back a bit and let the rug tie the room together. Shomer Shabbos as John Turturro does all the work explaining the roots of his Big Lebowski character Jesus Quintana.

A friend of mine (Colin shall remain unnamed) at Mundelein Seminary posted some Big Lebowski themed bowling photos last night.

Given how the holidays have already been marred by not only those who are anti-Christmas, but also by those who are fighting a war against the war on Christmas (moar war, I say), it wouldn’t hurt to sink further down the gutter into The Big Lebowski.

The film, like many of the other Coen Brothers films, has actually inspired plenty of serious reflection. For example, see the excellent post “Nihilists Believe in Nothing, Lebowski” from By Way of Beauty. There’s also a book on Lebowski and philosophy and one on Lebowski and the Gospel–although it comes to you from the author of Belieber!: Fame, Faith, and the Heart of Justin Bieber (Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you).

Anyway, here’s how Jesus Q came to dwell among us:
