[L-R] Bill Barounis & Tom "Shootgringoshoot" (Athens, 2010)
From what Bill is stating on his blog today he's not completely well, and the last two weeks have been very tough, but he's getting better. So glad to hear that! You can check Bill's blog post here.
The guy on the right grinning like an undertaker is Dutch/Swiss Cinehound member Tom aka "Shootgringoshoot" who went to hook up with Bill when Tom and his gf were on holiday in Greece earlier this year.
Jack J,thanks for the updates.Again well wishes from Australia.Hopefully Mr Onar will make a full recovery very soon.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Yeah, apart from the human tragedy it would also be tragic in regards to Turkish films not being released if Mr. Onar weren't here anymore. He is actually the only one who cares enough to put out old Turkish cult films. And he's not even in Turkey but in Turkey's old enemy, Greece. A tip o'the hat to him for his steadfastness. I hope he'll be well enough to continue.
ReplyDeleteno worries jack,
ReplyDeleteHe's paid for the rights to release another seven films hasn't he ?? Turkish films have always been popular with greek audiences as well as with some of the other neighbouring countries like yugoslavia.There use to be a greek cinema here called the enmore theatre that use to play heaps of turkish movies with most likely greek subs.I use to see the posters outside the cinema nearly everyday on my way to school in the early to mid 1970s.Now the enmore theatre is a concert venue, some of the acts that have played there have been the rolling stones,jeff beck and many others.
jack,the guy on the right,is he the one that collects spaghetti westerns including turkish ones ??? LOL
ReplyDeleteInteresting stuff about that cinema. And yes that's him.
ReplyDeleteI actually saw a few turkish films in the 1970s at another cinema in petersham/sydney that now is or was a roller skating venue.Some of the films had greek subtitles on them.The one I remember was a turkish version of prince and the pauper set in the 1970s.The other films were usually blood feud or crime ones.I remember also seeing turkish hamlet on either sbs or on a rented vhs.The quality of the film then was much better than the one that's currently available.
