All of the cuss words, none of the plot! Now that the courts have stopped companies like Clean Flicks and Family Flicks USA from releasing their own custom-sanitized DVD versions of other people’s movies (we used to just call this “bowdlerization“), perhaps it is time to celebrate with a different approach: a feature with all the f-words left in, but the rest of the movie taken out. That’s what somebody’s done with “The Big Lebowski” in this two-minute, fourteen-second “F*cking Short Version.” If you’re offended by profanity… well, then you’re out of your element, Donny!
