The thing is Paul Kuk is someone in the UK who had taped all the Jonathan Ross "The Big Picture Show" programs back in the early 90s and had uploaded them to YouTube and altho I did manage to download them all I really wanted to get in contact with him and convince him that he really ought to be a nice chappy and make dvd-r copies of all of them for me. Oh well, I guess I can forget about that now. Boo-hoo. Those shows were the best! Are you sure you're not Paul Kuk, Paul? Just a wee bit??

I just realise... Paul... you're Poul Kuk, aren't you!!?? You gotta be; it fits!! 20 yrs of collecting (those Jonathan Ross docus are almost 20 yrs old) and mr. Kuk is in the UK. My god. Ever since last summer, I've known about those YouTube uploads and have been thinking about writing to "that guy" and ask if he'd do me proper copies of those shows cos I'd really love to get them (YouTube is nice but the quality is not the best. I tried and converted a couple of shows to dvdr but unfortunately they don't come out so grand when you watch them on the big screen). The only one of the shows I have already is the David Lynch show which I taped off tv in London in 1990. <br /><br />About your book; Thanks for the reply. And yes I'll definitely pick up a copy ... on payday as I'm already skint :-( <br />haha. Too many cool releases, old and new. And yes I'll give it a plug. <br /><br />I know what you mean about why you do this; if this weren't for a genuine love of the media it would be a waste of time. There is no money in this. I guess you could make some if you worked for Fango but, well, we don't. I'm not so sure how much that helps though. I'm in the fortunate position of never having received ONE bad review when I did the zine but even so nobody wrote and said "I read so and so review and now I wanna check out your mag". But, hey, of course you never know how many go and pick up your stuff from a shop and never tell you it was because of a review. Women readers is something else I'd like to get more of, LOL. <br /><br />And if we get a mention that'll certainly be great. Cheers. If there's ever anything film wise that you see mentioned on my blog or in posts that you'd like me to help you out with don't hesitate to let me know. As of now, I can't do ntsc to dvdr but everything else should be of no problem. <br /><br />I have only gone thru a fraction of those blog posts of yours that I've found so no I haven't got to (or even found) the YOR review yet. You got it from Edoardo M.!! Wauw!<br /><br />I miss the old days with it's plethora of cool fanzines but I wouldn't want to be without the grand world of the Internet. Imagine how many "meetings" you missed out on in the old days. How many fans like you and Patrick you just never met. <br /><br />PS: thanks for the link, Patrick.Jack Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17922020382952236097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130012412240955777.post-88054541674743674352009-05-12T01:26:00.000+02:002009-05-12T01:26:00.000+02:00There he goes being all humble again, hehe.

Doing the book with my great friend David Zuzelo was a work of love & we are both darned proud of it. We have interest from a 'Proper' publisher now to tidy it up & throw some money at it to deliver the Store Book we strive for. I love to share my knowledge of movies with true fans like yourselves, one reason I am 'humble', Jack. Like you touched on with some Ebay purchasers, they don't do it to collect the movie, but to make money from it. Myself & David did not do the book to make money, we did it to open up the word on so many rare movies. Trust me there is over twenty years of collected tapes that went into bringing over Eighty reviews along with bios etc. If people like yourself & Patrick are kind enough to sing the praises of the book, that is all we could ask for, as the word will reach the true fans. That is what we want :) .<br />Please do pick up a proper version each, LULU on line, where we published through, is likely the best place to purchase. Yes, I'm afraid on Ebay the book has sold for double the price through a couple of those money making chancers !. It would be great to have either or indeed both of you Review Tough To Kill. <br />When we get Tough To Kill 2 out, may be a while, I'll for sure metion you guys as part of my ongoing Internet adventure discovering Action flick fellow fans :) .<br />Jack, very well done in seeking out my postings & other blogs. Hey, I've even written material under an alia ;) . Have you found my Full article on the FULL version of YOR THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE ?. Edoardo Margheriti himself sent me the movie, now how very Cool is that :) . Thanks guys. It truly is great hanging with you.

Haha. <br /><br />Anyhoo, I did a Google and found yet another one of your (to me anyway) secret blogs where there's a post about the book. Wauw! Good on ya mate, that looks brilliant.<br /><br />Is it still in print? If so I'm gonna get one (I see there's a eVersion but I want a real hard-copy.

Firstly, I'm a little low on cash right now and secondly I'm aware there are both Dutch and Japanese releases of that film. Now, I love Greek tapes for the sheer output (there are so many) but the picture quality isn't always that grand so I think I'd rather wait for another copy. Oh, and besides, I hear it's a crap film, haha.Jack Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17922020382952236097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130012412240955777.post-41600235891934523532009-05-11T00:47:00.000+02:002009-05-11T00:47:00.000+02:00But didn't he also have No Blood No Surrender?

It expires today, but that's another $10 plus saving to assist in the bid.<br />With regard to a DVDr, I would have no problem in assisting you good buddy but I do not have the facility to copy over NTSC. My VCR plays NTSC but in pseudo PAL, so when copying it is out of synch & unwatchable. I am in the process of upgrading my Desktop computer to a DELL XPS 630 which with a connection kit movie programme I may be able to get around this problem. Or indeed I am still looking for a good deal on a true NTSC VCR player / multi system as there are many movies I'd like to ensure are backed up. I'll keep you updated, and if successful, of course, with pleasure I'll hook you up.

...Well, one man's trash in another man's treasure. <br /><br />I can't tell you if it's worth that much money cos taste is individual. To each their own as you say. I hate dark chocolate but I had a gf who loved it. So is dark chocolate good or bad? If I had more money I would outbid that bidder so yes I think it's worth 120 bucks. But to someone else who would rather spend money on the latest re-release of the "much better" digitally cgi "improved" version of 'Star Trek The Org. Series' they would probably shake their head in disbelief. <br /><br />Would I pay $120 if there was a Mondo Macabro "Satan's Slave" dvd? Fuck no, not a change. I guess I would pay $120 for being able to get a good original release and of the EXPIRIENCE of watching a good version of the film.
