Giveaway: Blindness on DVD!
By Great White Snark | February 2, 2009
Ok, if you read that post title out loud and hear that I’m giving away blindness to you people (on a DVD, no less), it really sounds like I have something against you, doesn’t it?
No, if I harbored any ill will, I’d pick from today’s other DVD releases and foist a free copy of two-disc director’s cut of Yentl 
You know what else friends do, now that I’m on the subject? Send me cash in the mail. And I don’t want to dwell or anything, but you haven’t exactly been holding up your end of the friendship agreement lately. Like I said… no biggie. But… you know. Get on that.
To sign up to win a copy of Blindness on DVD:
- If you haven’t already, get an e-mail subscription to Great White Snark. It won’t cost you nuthin’.
- Leave a comment on this post. In the “Mail (will not be published)” field, enter the same e-mail address of your subscription, so I know who you are.
- In the comment, name your favorite blind protagonist. From comics, movies, TV, real life… anything.
I’ll select the winner at random and announce them in an update to this post next Tuesday, February 10.
UPDATE: Good call on Jeff Healey, Mickey. Anyone who appeared in Road House is a hero of mine.
One entry per person. And remember, cheaters never prosper, because I’ve got your IP address, people: duplicate entries are dopey entries. Winners outside the forty-eight contiguous U.S. states pay shipping. Because this ain’t a money tree, it’s just a plain ol’ blog.

Definitely Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Basically, she’s awesome.

@Meg: Your sentiments will be dashed soon enough when the craptacular movie adaptation comes out: http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/02/01/slumdog-millionaire-star-joins-the-last-airbender/

Dare Devil. Wait, that’s my least favorite. And Ben Affleck didn’t help that at all. Ray was pretty good though. And who can argue with Ray Charles?
February 3rd, 2009 at 8:20 am
Ooh, Ray Charles! But I don’t want to be a copycat so I’ll say…uh, Mary from Little House on the Prairie. Just for sheer randomness.

William Fichtner as Kent Clark in Contact. Great, underrated movie.
February 3rd, 2009 at 8:27 am
Ray Charles. I’ve loved his music for a long time, and found the movie entertaining and touching.
Sorry, can’t find a way to make that comment funnier.

Does Mr. Magoo count? He has to at least be legally blind right?

Miss Patty Duke as Helen keller.

Andrea Bocelli!!
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Well, most of the good ones have been mentioned already. How about the late Jeff Healey?

Audrey Hepburn in “Wait Until Dark”! Now there’s an old one!

Best blind character ever: Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman.
February 5th, 2009 at 8:03 am
I’ve always liked Whistler (David Strathairn) in Sneakers.

I’m a subscriber. My favorite blind protagonist was the lead character in If You COuld See What I Hear — a really great flick.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman Love that movie
February 7th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
There was an episode of Quantum Leap where Sam was blind guy but he wasn’t really blind but then he was blind for like 5 minutes. Or, uh, Daredevil from the comics, not the shitty movie.
February 10th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Yeah, mickey, how about that Jeff Healey?
Anyway, you won.
