High Plains Drifter screenshots needed

July 6, 2004 8:56 PM

Does anyone have the DVD for High Plains Drifter?

I desperately need screenshots of it's opening scene where the stranger rides into town with the shimmering setting sun at his back. I've searched Google Images for quite some time and I come up grasping at straws every time. All I can seem to find is various movie posters and a few head shots of Clint Eastwood.

Can anyone help me?

If yer so, like, desperate, I'm sure you can like, make your way to a Blockbuster and rent the thing.

I'm also so, like, a 4 hour drive including a mountain passes from the nearest video store, and I don't have my own car.

I'm helping to open a restaraunt with rental cabins in the thriving metropolis of Gould, CO. I have no contact with civilisation in the meatspace, so I could kind of use some help.

It's times like this where I wish I suscribed to Netflix.

What is your time frame blasdelf? I'll get you these shots but it may be Friday before I can get the time.

blasdelf, I'm assuming you're not a local Coloradoan and so apologies if you are, but you could be down in the Fort Collins/Greeley area pretty quickly if you could borrow a car or get a ride or even hitch (I've driven 14 before, it's a pretty good road). FC is a university town and also rapidly suburb-izing, should be easy to get Clint there, especially if you call the video stores first.

rudyfink:
I need the shots for a logo/signage project for the restaraunt, and I have a fairly lax time frame because I have quite a few other projects that I can work on, like ripping up 80 years of subflooring.

If you can get the shots, please send 'em to blasdelf at gmail.com. Whoever helps gets a gmail account!


carter:
I was born and raised in DC, but I've lived outside Durango for two years, and I'm living out in Gould until school starts at TESC in the fall. The only way I'd be able to get into a city is to go with my boss to a resteraunt auction or something, and another one doesn't come up for another few weeks at least.

Well played, blasdelf. (yes, I know that this comment isn't helpful either...)

Thanks iconomy!

Why throw insults when you can just state the facts and quote others to their own detriment?

I sent the email rudyfink, if you don't see it, the vast Microsoft conspiracy has probably sorted it into your junk mail folder.

Damn anti-Gmail email discrimination!
