The third annual The Big Lebowski bowling party returned to downtown’s Corner Alley last night and drew a good crowd of about 70 people. While anyone who wore a bathrobe in honor of the film’s protagonist, The Dude (Jeff Bridges), got a coupon for free popcorn at any Cleveland Cinemas theater, only a handful of attendees showed up in their nightgowns. The bar served up plenty of the Dude’s favorite drinks, White Russians. While we suspect many attended the event simply for the $2 drink specials, the bowling lanes were kept busy all night. The only film that the Cedar Lee shows each year as part of its Cult Classic Film Series, The Big Lebowski screens at 9:30 p.m. and midnight on Saturday, December 5, at the Cedar Lee Theatre.
