Quentin Tarantino once worked at a video store.
So did I.
Quentin became a world famous movie director and dated Mira Sorvino.
I got free movie rentals for a few years.
My video daze also gave me lots of curious memories - one being that we couldn’t keep “Cheech and Chong” movies in stock. They kept getting rented … and never returned.
Wonder if that fate will befall the stoner duo’s latest movie?
The Weinstein Company announced today it’s making a film version from the pair’s current comedy tour, its first in 25 years.
The feature-length take on the “Cheech & Chong: Light Up America” tour will have a major TV premiere, and then hit DVD stores, according to TWC.
I suppose criminally inclined “Cheech and Chong” fans will one day steal the film, 21st century style - by illegally downloading it.
