  1. I took #BlankCheck covering the Coens as an opportunity to watch the 11 films I'd missed, rewatch a few that hadn't worked for me the first time, and relive the ones that did.

    It turns out my opinion aligns with the consensus: they're brilliant! What a gift for dialog and staging and worldbuilding.

    Llewyn remains my number 1 with a bullet, but the rest are hard. They've only one truly bad movie, as I even get value from the weaker entries.

  2. @colin Finally listening to #BlankCheck's "Mulholland Drive" episode clocking in at 3:46?

  3. I am three episodes into Twin Peaks: The Return, and I am BAFFLED. This show is critically acclaimed? Really? So far, it seems like a bunch of random and meaningless bullshit only barely tangentially related to the show or movie.

    I'm gonna keep watching, as I'm following along with Blank Check. But the beginning of this series doesn't give me much hope.

  4. Started watching Twin Peaks yesterday. I'd seen the pilot in university, but it didn't do anything for me.

    I can see why younger me didn't get it, but I'm 100% on-board now

    The creeping dread, the hilariously weird characters and out of place lines, the building complexities of life where everyone knows each other (despite the pop. being 30,000).

    And the way the mystery feels like it's gonna be secondary to uncovering the myriad secrets of the town's inhabitants.

  6. …In simplified form, the process involves 2 basic parties. One is a private company that wants to go public. The other is a #ShellCompany that is already trading on the #StockMarket but has no operations — just a pile of cash that it can use to acquire a business. #SPAC shells are often called “#BlankCheck” companies because their investors have given them a certain amount of money but have no idea yet who the check will be made out to.

  12. When an institution gives you a blank Word file with their writing paper to so you can attest what you need.

    Seems like I've gained quite a lot of trust. 😂 #blankcheck

  13. Then, in the past yr, its issues became more pronounced: Its chief exec was terminated by the board, a fmr board member was #arrested on charges of #InsiderTrading, & the co agreed to pay an $18M #settlement to resolve charges that it had #MisledInvestors & given false info to the #SEC.…

    SPACs are known as “#BlankCheck” companies because they raise money from #investors to buy a #private company before identifying who they intend to target.

  14. I watched a bunch of Buster Keaton movies today and can we bring back title cards that give you the character name, backstory, and actor name?
