Isn't That What Makes a Man?

Sure. That and a pair of testicles.

Lace up your bowling shoes! Tonight Coolidge Corner Theater is having a screening of the oddball Coen Brothers' bowling hit The Big Lebowski. It's a nine dollar entrance fee, unfortunately that doesn't come with a White Russian, but there will be a pre-screening bowling match, along with Lebowski trivia and Lewbowski themed rewards for the best bowling shirt in the crowd. Expect to see some interesting folks at this event as Ethan and Joel Coen movie has quite a following with Lebowski festivals in New York, Louisville , and Las Vegas.

If you are just in the mood to bowl and drink, as Bostonist often is, why not check out some of the bowling in Boston like Milky Way Lounge and Lanes in JP or Kings in the Back Bay. If you want to see the movie and drink, but you can't make the 7:00 showing tonight, Bostonist suggests that you stay at home and play the Big Lebowski drinking game: take a drink anytime anyone in the movie says "Dude". Last time Bostonist got together for a Big Lebowski drinking game a rule was added to "drink to the line," every time The Dude bowls, the line was drawn 1/3 from the bottom on a full handle of Tanqueray. Every time Jeff Daniels was slurping down another White Russian in the bowling alley the virgin Lebowski amongst us cringed, waiting for The Dude to pick up a ball and knock down some pins. Never Does. He don't play no candlepin either.
