Accreditamento Dove Debito
It’s odd that the front cover of the Italian Bluray of Il Grande Lebowski says “un film di Joel Coen.” What about co-director Ethan? Typos are ubiquitous but how did this find such prominent placement? The IMDB says Joel and Ethan co-directed, and everybody knows the score regardless.
Wasn’t The Ladykillers the first Coens movie where they were both credited as directors? Rather than Joel as director and Ethan as a producer.
It’s definitely stupid to specify just Joel when everyone knows them as a unit, but it’s technically correct, I guess.
anyone know when the U.S. will get this blu ray?
September 11, 1991? It’s a conspiracy, man.
I don’t know but I’m holding onto my HD-DVD copy in the meantime like it’s the bible. Incidentally, perhaps it’s because I’ve watched the movie so many times so thing stood out more, but that HD master was one of the most improved I’ve seen to date – at least over the original dvd (I never bought the subsequent dvd’s).
This may be the only film that I’d actually welcome one of those stupid bloated collector’s edition sets with a name like “The Nihilists Edition” or “The Carpet Pissers Edition” with dumb little trinkets thrown in.
I couldn’t care less about a suitcase size box set for Casablanca or The Wizard of Oz, but I’d easily drop $75 on a Big Lebowski blu-ray that came in an oversized Ralph’s Coffee can and included “Malibu” post cards and shalk shakers shaped like severed toes…or something to that effect.
that should have read “salt shakers”
The scene depicted above was all I needed to know I’d love the film. It tells you everything you need to know about The Dude. I mean, writing a check for less than a dollar…I laughed for days afterward.
bents75, it sounds like you missed the 10th Anniversary 2-disc DVD edition that came packaged in a bowling ball. If you want it, you can get it here:

The Coens said in an interview recently (I forget where, of course) that they have always co-directed their movies but decided not to both take a credit line for it until rather recently. Joel as director and Ethan as producer are the credits on many of their films.
Joel was credited as director on the Lebowski poster.

Surprised Wells didn’t know this. The Ladykillers was indeed the first time they were both credited as director. Their first ten features credit Joel as director, Ethan as producer, and both as writer. They generally alternate who is credited first as screenwriter. The split was originally due to some DGA rules, which the Coens are now able to subvert since they are an “established duo.” When Fargo received all of its Academy Awards nominations, it was only Joel that was nominated for Best Director.
Who writes checks at the supermaket?
Jeffrey Lebowski did, twenty years ago.
Not to be a blowhard of historical accuracy to one of the greatest comedies ever made, and one of the greatest moments from it, but Desert Shield began in late Summer, 1990, not ’91.
Two things:
1 – if you watch the movie closely, the check is actually post-dated. When the landlord gets to the door, he says that it’s the 9th (or rather tomorrow is the 10th). And that’s at least a day or two after the supermarket part.
2 – I had thought that they never cared about the co-credit (They were certainly an established duo prior to 2004), but that ‘The Ladykillers’ was the first movie where Ethan as producer had to share a credit, so out of fairness they started taking full credit in all the categories, and had motivation to push the DGA to let them.
Though the usual line is that they are like a two-headed person, their original credits and backgrounds always suggested to me that Joel is the more visual of the two (he is the one who went to film school), and Ethan is the more verbal (he is the one who has published written works on his own). But it seems like a pretty blurry distinction, if there even is one.
