I have a friend that used to throw annual Big Lebowski parties, where everybody is supposed to show up in a bathrobe and he would serve White Russians and In-n-Out while we all watched the movie. The movie is based on a real guy, although I think it's a fictional plot to play around with that kooky character.

I've seen Children of Men, and it was pretty good. Not Cohen bros good, but good enough that I remember seeing it (which says a lot actually)
