Hilarious.  I do happen to own both the Big Lebowski and the Royal Tenenbaums. They are right next to True Grit, The Cowboys and Dirty Harry.

Pfffft, the Big Lebowski?
How is that hipster at all??

It's such a great movie that they wish it was hipster.

Aging hippie protagonist surrounded by absurdist pop culture cliches and references diverse enough to appeal to boomers and subsequent generations alike. Don't get me wrong. i love the film, but Jeff Bridges inspired an icon for a reason.

Watched the American Masters biography of him, and learned there is a store specializing in BL stuff.  :O

Yeah, but he's a hippie.

Hipsters are self important fashionistas so concerned with their appearances that it dictates every aspect of their lives.

Over the line!

I's not a hipster, I just think everyone should relax and have a caucasian. 

Friends like these, eh, Gary?

Whatever.  I'm calmer than you are.

OK. I'm gonna have to break out the DVD when I get home. And try not to let myself be stabbed with a sword this time.

You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie.

By this criterion, I'm no hipster. But it's OK. I still have my thrift store clothes to keep me hip.
