Nightwing (1979)

posted by [personal profile] leoniedelt at 07:15pm on 27/02/2007 under ,
Fuckin-A, man.

Nightwing was SPOT ON. Ok, it wasnt Jaws, but it wasn't meant to be either. The bats were a bit hokey but my god they all played it so seriously you'd think the bats really were carrying plague. Sweet.

I like it just as it is, though i wish my copy weren't VHS :/ My caps are shite as a result :/

The native American mysticism shit got on my nerves after a bit, and I know Duran was the hero and everything, but god damn David was brilliant as the weird scientist bat hunting killing type, yes. Brilliant, sexy, dirty, sweaty, driving a honking huge American 70s truck with radar and shit on the top. Groovy. And no seatbelts.

And i ALMOST got my request from the other day - i got agony and good acting. Now if only I'd find that third item, somewhere...

[personal profile] hergrace, you're SO right. Nightwing, WORTH IT. Yes.

edited: Now i NEED The Island RIGHT NOW. I heard he's shirtless in it. *scours ebay*
Mood:: 'impressed' impressed

There's a National Theatre Archive somewhere, where certain theatre productions are filmed for posterity. I mention this as the Full Warner was resolutely on display in that King Lear production a couple of years back...

Ooer... It WAS at the Theatre Museum in Covent Garden, but that's now closed its doors, which is a much bigger scandal than has been reported. I think it was moving back to the National Archive at Kew, but don't quote me on that.

There used to be an online database of what had been filmed, but I can't locate it now.

He is shirtless a couple of times in The Island. I'll take a digital cam shot here in a minute and post it on here for you. He's so thin. I wanted to feed him, haha.

The native American mysticism shit got on my nerves after a bit, and I know Duran was the hero and everything, but god damn David was brilliant as the weird scientist bat hunting killing type, yes. Brilliant, sexy, dirty, sweaty, driving a honking huge American 70s truck with radar and shit on the top. Groovy. And no seatbelts.

The Native American stuff got on my nerves too. I did a lot of fast forwarding, but LOVED David's character. The ending really got me. Soo sexy!

Okay give me a few minutes. I'll send some digital cam shots since I don't have the DVD.

The batteries died. Waiting for it to charge. *Waits* They won't come out that great being it's the TV. They won't be saveable, but it'll help give an idea of him shirtless. My webcam would work better, but it's not hooked up to my new comp yet.

I'll post photos in a minute though!! <3

I usually don't like hella thin guys, but David gets away with it cuz I actually didn't mind, haha. Here are some quick screen caps. They sometimes turn out better. This is just sloppy work on my part. I've also been drinking a bit, so I didn't really take my time. I was like *snap* *snap*, haha! But since you're winning the ebay auction you'll soon see his nekkedness!





This turned out better than the others:



Sorry they didn't turn out too well! It'll be nice if I get the DVD or my webcam back up. I take really good caps with my webcam it was when my old comp couldn't take DVDs and stuff.

That's so weird! The DVD is easy to find on Ebay for me from what I've seen when I looked it up. I haven't the money yet to buy it, so I've kept it on my DVR until then. I waste a lot of money on 8x10 photos of actors and video games, so I'm *always* too broke to buy games, haha

Its weird the difference between the US and the UK, as for what's available or what movies come out, etc. We dont get 1/10th the movies that come out in the states.
