The Blank Check House

After the success of Home Alone movie studios did not waste anytime copying the formula (kid outsmarts bad guys).  While the worst offender was probably Three Ninjas, Disney was also guilty with Blank Check.  They even used it as a selling point!


I saw Blank Check in the theater, I remember because it was the only time in my movie going life that the theater manager came out and talked to us about how the movie was filmed in Texas (which is where I live).  So, on a recent trip to Austin, I stopped by the Blank Check house.

Here is how it appeared in the film:


And today:


As you can see, they've done quite a bit of remodeling.
Not to mention the heavy plant growth which makes it almost unrecognizable.


The old garage door is now a window



The original entry way has been completely removed.


This is the front door now:


I drove around to the side and found the back gate open.  In the film, the back yard had a pool, go cart track, batting cages, and all sorts of bounce houses.  The new owners must not have liked the water slide from the bedroom because the whole back yard is torn up.



I was hoping the workers would be out so I could ask them for a peek inside.  That didn't happen though, this open window was my only glimpse.


Here's a little info on the house, which is actually The Pemberton Castle


If you want to visit, the address is:

1415 Wooldridge Dr.  Austin, TX

I guess the only thing that has changed more than the house is the actor from the film.  Here is a current picture of Brian Bonsall.


When he isn't out getting neck tattoos, or running from the law, he does a pretty descent acoustic cover of the NOFX classic "Linoleum".

  6. Throughout this awesome design of things you actually get a B+ for effort. Where you lost me personally was first in all the facts. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn't be much more accurate here. Having said that, allow me reveal to you just what did do the job. The writing is actually highly convincing and this is most likely why I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, while I can certainly notice a leaps in reasoning you make, I am not really convinced of how you seem to unite the points which in turn help to make your conclusion. For the moment I will yield to your point but trust in the foreseeable future you actually link your dots better. lash extensions Singapore

Sometimes, i get weak during sex to the extent I can’t even go for just two rounds, I myself was not happy about it and even before I met her others girls do complain and some even do cheat on me because I am having a small cock. But for this my present girlfriend, I love her so much and I want to marry her, I just can’t stay and open my eyes letting other guys out there taking her from me or seeing her cheating on me, I undergo several medical treatment which did not work out and even eat up lot of my money.

After two days I received the medicine and I used according to the instructions instantly after three days I started seeing changes, and one of the changes was my cock do get up and stand for like ten minutes before going down. When I finished taking the medicine, I called him and inform him and he said I should have sex now and tell him the outcome after sex, which I did in the mid night with my fiancee, she screamed so hard and tell me to fuck her so hard now she is enjoying me the more, throughout good three to four hours I was still having sex and before I cumed, she suck me so hard and the biggest joy about it was my cock was no longer small but was now long and so thick. I called the doctor the next morning and tells him the good news and I promised him that I will tell more people about him so that’s why I am here sharing this great testimony of mine because I am a living witness and I am so excited about it because it has no effect on me, right now, I am the one even running from sex because she keeps disturbing me every time she wants more and more.

  20. This is the reason why it is important to abstain from weed 120 days prior to your test. This isn't the only major solution to the problem, but it is without a doubt the most effective. This time frame would allow your hair to grow past the length required for the hair test. As a result, the affected areas of your hair would be disqualified from serving as a sample. The following is a detailed explanation of the laboratory test's main principle and procedure to help you understand how it works.

Tales From The College Program: Getting Fired. Part 2

Getting my job back: Since Rat Face had gone as high as possible to get me fired, I decided to do the same when trying to get my job back.   Ed Backlor was the VP of Downtown Disney at the time, I decided to email him.   A day later I received an email from Djuan Rivers (who I just discovered is a Disney big shot now ).   Ed was out of town and had forwarded my email to Djuan.   We arranged a time for him to call me the next day.   I was pretty nervous as a sat there staring at my phone waiting for him to call.   I didn’t know where the conversation would go.   Djuan was very friendly, he had read my email and asked me some more questions about the firing.   I left out the part about how everyone eating for free so I wouldn’t get anyone else fired.   He told me the typical “well, I know it’s not a lot of money, but if everyone gave away $3.25 worth of food, it would really hurt the company.”   He said I could reapply with Disney in 6 months and when I did I would most likely be as

Back to the Twilight Zone: Part 2

After the clock tower, the most important set in Hill Valley is probably the cafe.  In the Twilight Zone, the area we know as being the cafe is a police station. In 1985 Hill Valley, it's Lou's Aerobic Fitness Center. The building has not changed that much since the Twilight Zone, all they really did was relocate the door and build that facade.  Funny how Lou went from owning a restaurant to a fitness center 30 years later. Mike Ferris also takes in a movie at The Savoy. The Marquee (and movie selection) was changed when this area became Hill Valley A close up shows, that those busts have been there for quite a while. One scene that really threw me off, was when Mike walked past a drug store. It looks like the clock tower is behind him, and the reflection in the window looks like the post office building, but something about the geometry just didn't make sense to me.  I looked for more pictures of the set fr

Jumanji Film Locations

While I was in New Hampshire last week, I stopped in Keene to take some Jumanji comparison shots. Let's start at the beginning of the film. In the opening scene Alan Parrish rides his bike past a statue of his ancestor, Angus Parrish.  I had been to Keene once before and knew there was a statue in this square, so I assumed they just attached a fake plaque to it, I was wrong. They  built the prop statue on top of this rock fountain.  Why not just use the existing one? Here's another statue screen shot. It almost looks like they tried to brush out the actual statue in the opening shot from the film. . This Parrish shoes ad can be seen briefly in the film and appears in the back ground of the second statue picture I posted.  Here it is today. Moving onto the stampede scenes. Turns out Frank's Barber Shop is still there too. So is this old coke mural Run Kirsten! Stampede!
