I Don't Mind Blank Check

Meanwhile the author of Blank Check is a screenwriting guru.

I remember watching Blank Check as an eight-year-old and being terribly, hopelessly bored. Now I know why. It wasn't made for eight-year-old kids.

These guys had a great life until cancer came and ruined everything. I guess they can be thankful for the nearly 2 decades they had together reviewing and writing about film.

@fuck192ass And maybe Tarantino wouldn't have cheapened the Dusty Springfield song in the scene in the diner. Madsen taking this minor part in this forgettable movie bought Travolta his 747.

Blank check was alright

[faffaflunkie]

That f'd up movie is what Michael Madson did instead of the "Vincent Vega" role(Tarantino wanted Madson not Travolta) in Pulp Fiction. Goodbye major stardom.

The litttle skinny guy died first............who'da thunk it.

[Artfryne]

Ebert is the most respected critic for good reason.

[punisher1432]

Oh boy Blank Check what a piece of crap that was.

[wswfootball19]

did you record this episode on laserdisc?

[KingKool2099]

You can record to Laserdisc?

[nikosvault]

That may be the worst rebuttal Ive ever read.

[cs925]

That's a valid point. Movie critics don't routinely review films from the leyman's pov. But consider this: A newspaper/tv show could only really hire someone w/either a Journalism background/education or someone highly educated in the area of film. This is necessary because some complex films reference obscure shit and/or Shakespear that most of us (incl me) wouldn't know, so inherently they're reviewing from a level that we're not @ cause we're WATCHING the movie, & not reviewing it.
