It’s the 25th year anniversary of “The Big Lebowski.” I’m pretty sure you’ve seen it already, but this noir/stoner comedy/western has the following premise: There are two Jeff Lebowskis living in Los Angeles: First, a wealthy guy in a wheelchair living in a Pasadena mansion (David Huddleston), and the other, the king of slacker heaven, known to friends and acquaintances as “The Dude” (Jeff Bridges, in what may end up being the defining role of his career).
