Today's Webtip: Two Gentlemen of Lebowski

The Coen brothers get dressed up as the Bard. Hilarity ensues.

Shakespeare is one of those authors people really love to mess with. His stories are timeless, but his language can be a bit much for most people. And that's why producers across the planet love dressing him up in contemporary clothing and trotting him out in front of young audiences.

Romeo and Juliet is a favorite for that treatment. West Side Story was probably the first modernization I have seen, and the film with Leonardo the last, but there have been countless variations made that most of us will never see.

Today's webtip is not one of them. It's actually sort of the reverse. A contemporary classic dressed up in ruffles and tights. With lots of yeas and verilys thrown in for effect.

And Bowling.

That's to be expected when dealing with the Dude though. Or, rather, the Knave.

So if you think you are up for a wade through an elisabethan rendition of the Big Lebowski, then yea, but verily, check out this most excellent comedie and tragical romance of Two Men of Lebwoski.
