Third Man Out

[erilyn]

I've had this movie for ages, but only just recently got around to watching it. Which was a stupid thing to do, because it's lovely.

+ Third Man Out - 693 meg, rar file requires a password, please comment for it

Please comment if you download, and don't direct link to my files, or link my journal on message boards/communities/forums etc. If you're using a download manager (which I definitely recommend), please check and make sure it is set to only 4 or 5 reconnects, as more can cause problems.

Based on a series of novels by Richard Stevenson, it's the first in a series of adventures of Donald Strachey, a private investigator in Albany, NY. The film is entertaining enough for it's noir-style mystery, but it's Donald's relationship with his partner, Timmy Callahan, that makes it must-watch material. Cause that's not "buddy" partner, that's "married as two men can be" partner. And they're cuter than a pile of puppies. (You may remember Chad Allen as one of the kids on Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman and Sebastian Spence from BSG, Supernatural or First Wave (or from lots of other things, in both their cases)).

For more info and picspam, svendra has done several pimping posts here, and has co-started a community, nick_n_nora.

The film isn't terribly highbudget (made for tv by the here!Network - yes, home of Dante's Cove, amongst other things), but it's a lot of fun, and as it's filmed in Canada, you'll recognise most of the supporting cast. I've got the second film (Shock to the System, and there's more to come) but only as a lower quality two-part wmv. If anyone knows where I can get an avi, I'd prefer to share that, but if not I'll upload the version I have of Shock, if people are interested.

And if you decide you're keen on them, both films are available on dvd from Amazon and Deep Discount etc.

And I totally have an ulterior motive in pimping - I want more fic, especially about their backstory *g*.

It's a fun movie, isn't it? I saw it right around when it was released. I have the second one sitting in it's little Netflix envelope. lol.

The picture alone has me curious! Grabbing, thanks!

The Here! network is responsible for that *awful* gay vampire show I put up a few days ago, too ;-)

Without watching Dante's Cove (apart from a sex scene on Youtube) or The Lair, I totally declare these movies to be significantly better quality (though the sex is more discreetly filmed than DC).

It's adorable! I hope you enjoy :)

I think I downloaded it around the time it was released ;) You should watch the next one soon, there's some great stuff in it.

[lydia-petze.livejournal.com]

LOL, it wouldn't be difficult ;-)

We actually thought The Lair might have originally been filmed as porn, and then had the hardcore stuff taken out, some filler scenes added, and then been distributed as not-porn. It has *all* the hallmarks of porn, including the lousy acting, silly actor names and cheesy music. The sex is every bit as explicit as some of the soft stuff I've seen. It's hilariously awful, and hot.

There is a porn star is this one, but he's playing a porn star, and it's a funny scene :)

You're intriguing me about The Lair...

That picture is adorable. I am giving this a shot. Thanks!

There's another community, strachey_piwhich has been around for longer - but less going on there.

I've mooched two of the books, hopefully they'll come soon!

cool! I'm nabbing the file. Thank you!

Well, the files are pretty small, only about 335 meg each, and I uploaded the .rar files, so the dl will be smaller than that. The episodes are only 24 minutes long or something. Scroll back a bit in my LJ if you want a look ;-)

It's *really really* bad. But in a fun way.

Oh, I'm downloading, because my other source for this has split files with one part missing. And I'm dying to watch this. Thank you very much!

Would it be okay, if I reuploaded it? And if it's okay, would you like to be credited?

I'm downloading the movie. Thanks a lot! :-D

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

OK I'm tempted. Thanks *g* Cute photo - and Sebastian Spense!

[pierson.livejournal.com]

Ooo.

I'm snagging this--thank you so much for posting it!

Heeee! I've been a BIG fan of these movies for a long time and totally adore what Chad Allen and Sebastian Spence did the characters, even though they are miles away from the grittier book characters. The books, by the way, are absolutely brilliant. Very well written, very representative of a certain era (late 70s through the 80s) with awesome characterization.

Also, I have a good quality file of the second movie, and would love to upload it for you except it is too big for me to upload efficiently (even splitting it) to one of the free upload services. But if you have an ftp site I can access, I'd love to upload it there for you. Provided you trusted me of course, and I'd understand if you didn't seeing as we don't really know each other, lol. Or maybe you can suggest another way I could put it online, too?

Nabbing because you've made me curious.

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

I'm responsible for a couple of extra connections - sorry. Not working atm for me. I'll find a download manager and try again later

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

I am SO downloading this. All you had to do was say Sebastian Spence. I adored him on First Wave, adored him when he did his guest stint in Supernatural Season 01.

And yeah, would love to see the other. :D

So um, thanks! ;D

*headdesk*

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

I give up. I don't know what it is between your computer and mine, but I can never un-rar your files no matter which program I use. I just get lots of errors. And I wanted to see this! *whines*

[go4it.livejournal.com]

Sounds intriguing. Thanks for sharing!

[copracat]

Thank you. It looks sweet.

[adelate]

I'll be nabbing this, absolutely, it looks great. :) I found Shock to the System as a torrrent at isohunt and now I'm just waiting to get connected to someone... hopefully it'll work. [here]

[adelate]

[slaps forehead] Sorry. I meant to also say thank you!!!

[campidor.livejournal.com]

I downloaded it too. There's nothing better than a movie that has boys kissing. :)

Downloading, thanks so much!
