A *big* evening of *accidental anti-heroes* and *slightly baffling plots*:
First up, John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China (1986) is an action comedy that defies explanation, but very roughly: all-American 'hero' Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) loses his truck after driving it down an alleyway and getting side-tracked by the Lords of Death, deep in San Francisco's Chinatown. Wearing a wifebeater vest and tight blue jeans tucked into his boots, Burton just wants to pay his dues and get the Pork Chop Express back despite the best efforts of a shittle of Oriental bad guys waiting to beat his Occidental ass.
Next up, the 1998 Coen-helmed classic, The Big Lebowski. Do I need to tell you about the Big Lebowski? We've never seen it all together for some reason, despite quoting it at each other regularly/incessantly. The Dude Abides.
Were you born ready? Have you paid your dues?
