Film "The Dude" Wins: Lebowski to Screen at Shell
Posted by Chris Herrington on Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 9:01 AM
Among the five candidates open to public voting, Lebowski won big, garnering 38% percent of the vote. The runners-up were Shaun of the Dead (22%), Dazed and Confused (17%), and Monty Python & the Holy Grail (17%). Caddyshack trailed behind with only 6% of the vote.
The Big Lebowski will screen at roughly 10 p.m., after the music docs. Admission is free. In the event of inclement weather, the screening will be rescheduled for the following Friday, October 16th. See IndieMemphis.com for more info.

Now, the perfect place to show this movie is a bowling alley. But an October evening in Memphis at the Shell - that's a close second. I may have to drag myself to Midtown.
Wow, I even called the order. If only I was so good with the ponies! (And you all thought I was underrating Caddyshack).
The short version, for those who haven't seen it:

"Can you please keep your voices down? This is a family restaurant."
The Shaun of the Dead vote surprised me. And yes, I expected more votes for Caddyshack and was happy to be proven wrong.
If they do this next year, I will campaign to keep Dazed & Confused on the ballot, though. That movie at the Shell needs to happen at some point.
But I really needed an excuse to go around saying "Tis but a scratch!" all day. Sigh...
