The Big Lebowski / Blades of Glory

The Saturday night before last's viewing with Wei and Julian F. Blades of Glory I'd seen before and it was still pretty funny, but somehow I'd always missed The Big Lebowski previously despite the universal rave reviews. For my part, I liked it well enough but didn't get hugely into the film - it's funny and I like what it does, but I don't think I'm wired to really respond to its mix of subtle humour/wryness and brazen splashes of colour...I'm just left feeling as if I've bitten wholeheartedly into something that was sweet enough but evaporated in my mouth almost straight away (erm, unnecessarily picturesque attempt to convey my response, obviously).
