The Dude rides again… sort of

Here’s the New York Times’s description of Jeff Bridges’ character in new (and pretty good lookin’) film, The Men Who Stared At Goats:

“Bill’s initiative, born in the fields of Vietnam and baptized in the hot tubs of the New Age movement, brings together Buddhism, pantheism, militarism and old-fashioned hooey-ism, the idea being that war can be waged with love, eagle feathers and assorted paranormal techniques — with a few martial arts moves thrown in.”

You just know Bridges plays it well. Lookin’ forward to seeing it. …In the meantime, here’s the rest of the Times review.

    In the movie he wears two different coloured teeshirts with a large oṃ on them written in the Siddhaṃ script. This is a Dharmaburger I think because only Shingon Buddhists (and maybe a few esoteric Chinese Buddhists) use this writing anymore.

    The movie is quite fun.
