“Vagina.” Kimberly Kane As Maude Lebowski

We have very high expectations for New Sensations' "Big Lebowski" parody. After all, it's one of the few porn takeoffs based on an original made when its cast members were alive. That, and it has some pretty inspired casting.

"The Big Lebowski: A Porn Parody" wrapped filming early this morning at a bowling alley in the north San Fernando Valley with Tom Byron as the Dude, Evan Stone as The Stranger, James Deen as Jesus, veteran porn director Roy Karch as The Big Lebowski himself, and Kimberly Kane as Maude.

New Sensations did not disappoint with its "Sex Files: A Dark Parody" and we loved XPlay's "Not Married with Children XXX," but oh, we have been burned more than once by slapdash and cynical pornos that do not pay the proper respect to our pubescent memories of everyone from Loni Anderson to Catherine Bach to Marla Gibbs.

We will not abide a bad Dude.

Luckily, Byron really ties the movie together as a Dude whose hardcore VHS tapes have been soiled. And we watched awestruck as Byron executed three strikes in a row at 1 this morning. It is hard to convey the joy we felt at the convergence of bowling for free and watching Evie Delatosso throw topless gutterballs while we drank Mountain Dew in non-regulation shoes.

Director Lee Roy Myers hopes to have a trailer ready for the Los Angeles Lebowski Fest in April. Informed that people might actually become enraged if the Lebowski porn winds up a rug-pisser like "Flight Attendants," Myers nodded gravely and said, "this is the best thing I've done."
