Talib Kweli is hosting a screening of The\u00c2\u00a0Big Lebowski <\/em>at the IFC Center<\/a> this Thursday. Why? ‘Cause it’s his favorite film \u00e2\u20ac\u201d “There are movies from my childhood like\u00c2\u00a0The Goonies<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0and\u00c2\u00a0The Princess Bride<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0I could watch over and over.\u00c2\u00a0Big Lebowski<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0is like that for me as an adult.”\u00c2\u00a0But that’s just a start. Fuse had an extended chat with Kweli<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0about what makes the movie “a perfect storm.” Things we learned: The “OVER THE LINE!!<\/a>” scene is Kweli’s favorite, but he’s partial to Sam Elliott’s lines and the perpetual verbal abuse of Donny. Kweli identifies with the Dude, and went to school with a lot of dudes like the Dude. The musical dream sequence is up Kweli’s alley, too: “I like big productions, but they’re hard to do without being corny. But\u00c2\u00a0if someone gives you the budget, go for it: Pull out all the stops, entertain me. Throw in a Dylan song and do a jig.” Next time, Mos Def’s thoughts on Raising Arizona<\/em>.<\/p>\n
