Halfway between Tron and the December 17th sequel TRON: Legacy, the Coen brothers unleashed The Big Lebowski. FishbowlLA had the pleasure of catching a preview screening of the new film over the weekend on the Disney lot and was amazed to discover the Dude himself occasionally popping up on the Grid.

Overall, Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn is very Zen thanks to solicited script input from the actor’s pal Bernie Glassman. Still, it’s an unexpected joy to behold Bridges breaking into full Dude-speak at several points in TRON, provoking in each case hearty laughter from the audience.
