The unhinged child soldier rearing knife assassin definitely fucking qualifies.
The lightsaber is not a "knife".
It cuts and toasts!
'I can quit blue milk any time I like' - Stormtrooper Lewis.
Anyone else ever listen to the Stormtrooper Bob audio plays?
You never say no to bacta
They're re-uploading them! I think I might have the missing episodes somewhere on a hard drive... https://youtube.com/@jeditalk
That scene and that cute penguin that doesn’t want to be eaten scene felt like some sort of vegan subliminal messaging
The Dude buy it just for the White Russian.
Pretty sure in 2025 he would use soy-milk 😁
He's drinking half and half
When you start drinking in the morning you can't go all-in
Little of this, little of that
vodka and milk is not a valid recipe for a white russian. idk what the hell the dude thinks he's drinking but it's definitely not that.
I don't remeber what a White Russian should be made of from my bartender years, but if it was cream, well I stay with the Dude.
At one point you've to prioritize your calories.
Kahlua - necessary Vodka - necessary Cream???? > Milk
yeh but he skips the liqueur too
No he doesn't.
indeed he doesn't. either there's sobe other scene i'm thinking of or i'm misremembering
The Dude is both chill, and poor. Not everyone has coffee liqueur and creamer money. He makes do with what's around and he's happy about it.
Coffee liqueur is super easy to make. Cheap vodka, super strong coffee and a vanilla bean. Let it sit for a month. You can add glycerin if you want to increase the viscosity, but not needed for white russians.
Obviously not something the Dude would do, but I might try this.
He uses half & half throughout most of the movie.
is that not milk?
I've never seen someone drink half & half the way people drink milk. Like just a straight glass of half & half.
It is used almost exclusively as a substitute for heavy cream in recipes, so my mind considers it cream.
but is it milk or cream? is it like 5%?
50/50. Half cream, half whole milk... But the few times I've tasted it on its own, it is much closer to cream imo
whole...?
i get that it would taste like cream, that taste takes over.
Are you asking what whole milk is, or...?
yeah ive never heard the term.
Ah... Well I'm sure you can figure out google if you really care.
well annoyingly it's mostly ads and ai and lifestyle tips. but ok, it's just 3%. i thought it was weirder than that.
That's cause you're young.
When you get to the 50s you can't use cream, bur you doesn't stop to like white russian
i think the kahlua is probably the most important thing there... otherwise it just tastes like milk.
And he uses both in the scenes where we see him making the drink.
how am i just noticing that it's the only thing on his bar
So, you're telling me heroes drink milk? Ok, I'm onboard.
only one of these could be called a hero.
leon is at BEST a very dark shade of morally gray as a former child soldier who was raised to be a hitman by the mob.
and the dude is just the dude. he just wanted his damn rug back.
Leon is a hitman, but he's also probably learning disabled. He rescued a girl from the mob.
The Dude is just a guy who likes bowling, but he's pretty cool and that's enough for me.
The opening narration confirms that the Dude is in fact, not a hero (emphasis mine):
His relatability makes him the most heroic of them all in my book.
The Dude Abides.
Leon was a bad man that did a good thing, don't confuse the two.
Were we talking about psychopaths, or bad ppl?
