tinear,I haven't seen Capote- (only Hoffman briefly interviewed), but Hoffman as "Brandt", the smooth-faced synchophantic aide to the idle rich, crippled -sorry wealthy, physically challenged- "Big" Lebowski- was brilliant. He's the perfect overly buttoned down foil for Bridges' slacker.
Whenever Hoffman calls Jeff Bridges "Dude" in that dead-pan, preppie voice, I would double over laughing.
"This is our concern, Dude."
Hoffman seems to be a smart chap as well. "Capote" is bound to be a good one.
Cheers,Bambi B
..it's damn near perfect...
Jeff Starrs,I agree the Big Lebowski is just a lot of fun. It's especially nice for me as I see the whole range of characters- top to bottom- running around Los Angeles all the time- Maude, the trust fund self-styled artist, the lumpy, distracted landlord/modern dancer, "Big " Lebowskis running from board to board, the hundred or so "Brandt"s at the Getty Museum, over-augmented trophy wives tooling down PCH in Malibu in XJ-Ss, the Goodman wacky vet, and of course the Bridge's weed whacker slacker. All perfectly true- and surreal.
I thought "TBL" demonstrated excellent craftsmanship.
The musical number when the Malibu pornographer "Treehorn" drugs Bridges is one of the best Busby Berkeley bowling production numbers in recent memory.
Cheers,

...Turturro's killer walk on part as Jesus the bowler?

but BL is at least its equal. Plus its got a killer musical number/video whatever you want to call it. Jeff Bridges was and forever will be, The Dude.

..where he plays a completely sad creep.
the sisters ("but I'm not laughing!"), the weight challenged neighbor, etc.
And Ben G is surprisingly good, too (as is his wife and girlfriend).
Such a dark comedy that it is somewhat uncomfortable to find yourself laughing. So pitch perfect in every performance. I have been waiting in vain for Todd Solondz to hit his form again. His last one, where a bunch of different actors and actresses kept switching in and out as the main character, was provocative, but not really very entertaining.
..an american dvd of it from a friend here in Toulouse.
When I played it, because it was not the right 'norm' (PAL/Secam)the image was really bad, grainy, almost black and white.
The film was so good, though, that I don't think I even noticed after the first 5 minutes!!!
VERY impressive and all that I like in US independant cinema like Amos Kolleck, Jarmush, etc...
I loved his Lester Bangs role in Almost Famous. One of my fav movie lines is one in which Bangs tells the young journalist (who is concerned not fitting in with his peers) "Don't worry, you'll meet them all again on their long journey to the middle." A classic!
