In these terrible hours good words and wishes work miracles.
Tomorrow it's the operation. I'm trying not to think about it a lot but it's like some inner little goblin nesting within my stomach spits out fireballs and hits me with blasts that give me nausea and a flaming knot in my guts.
BUT, some encouraging words from here and there are my only weapons.
Speak again next week...

BEST AND WORST NEWS OF MY LIFE!!
How could this be??
Perhaps some of you remember that the films I considered the "lostest" were ZAGOR KARA BELA and ZAGOR KARAKORSANIN HAZINELERI.
At the same time they were my hugest obsessions since Zagor has always been my favourite comic book hero!
All those years, the biggest collectors, the biggest researchers, the biggest archivers, the biggest companies etc have always told me to "FORGET ABOUT THOSE 2 ZAGOR FILMS!!".
But somehow, God helped me unearth both of them!
I couldn't believe it if I didn't have the copies in my hands of course.
And the copies ARE in MY hands!
SO WHAT'S THE WORST NEWS IN MY LIFE??
That the same day I got the Zagors in my hands I was found with a brain tumour!
And the last 5 days have been a nightmare.
I've never felt so broken or hopeless and weak.
In one week I'll go to a hospital for an urgent surgery.
I'll spend a big fortune which I'll borrow from some bank and after the surgery God only knows how things will turn out, how I'll look like, if I'm cured, if I have side effects etc.
For the moment though, you can enjoy the 2 Zagor trailers and hope I'll be well enough to release them soon enough...

MENTION THE RAREST, CONSIDERED LOST, FILMS..
At different occassions, I have mentioned the rarest films ever.
Books, scholars, collectors, producers, you name it agreed on that.
Films that are not just rare in the sense of "hard-to-find".
I'm talking about films that are considered REALLY LOST FOREVER.
Films, that even the greatest collectors, the greatest researchers, the greatest fans, the greatest
film wackos have agreed they are LOST, DESTROYED, BURNT IN FIRES etc.
Now, among all these films, that even I have given up hope for, there are a few that are my personal dream, my personal all-time bet.
So, don't tell me "what about a clean copy of Turkish Wizard of Oz?".
I'd like you to come and mention here a bunch of titles that are considered LOST FOREVER by everybody, even me. If you have access to some of my past interviews or we have talked in person, or you have read some books (like Metin Demirhan's FANTASTIK TURK CINEMASI) you will sure know some of these titles.
Finally, I'd care to see who knows/remembers what my personal obsession is.
There's a reason I'm asking for this...
THANKS!

SPECIAL OFFERS EXTENDED TILL THE END OF AUGUST!
Since sales during my "lowest prices ever" period weren't exactly what I had in mind I decided to let the offers run throughout summer.
Besides, there's a particular reason I NEED to raise some fast cash ASAP.
Please check the following post above...

Some help to design an ad at a mag, anybody?
Hey guys!
I was wondering if someone of you out there had the knowledge and time and kindness to do me a small favour.
I have a nice offer for an ad at the GOREZONE mag.
Too bad the deadline is this Friday and even worse I suck when it comes to this stuff.
So, if anyone of you think he could make a fan ad that would be awsome.
It's going to be 1/4 of a page and the specs they need are:
Height: 149mm + 3mm bleed
Width: 105mm + 3mm bleed
As for the ad itself I'll leave it up to you.
All I want is to let readers get a picture of my dvd sleeves, plus some witty slogans... whatever.
So, if anyone thinks that would be possible before this deadline please let me know now.
And of course, one good turn deserves another so please feel free to ask for favours too!
Thanks!

BILL BACK, SITE UP
There were times that I didn't believe I would get out of hospital alive.
Even now, restricted in the house, not allowed to step out, not allowed to sit in front of the pc more than a few minutes at a time, I still think I'll go back to hospital or I'll have some final deadly epileptic seizure.
14 whole days in hospital, neurological clinic, among dying and/or insane people, were enough to break my morale and force me down on my knees.
I feel exactly like the zombie guy from Bob Clark's Dead of Night.
I feel I spent 14 days in Silent Hill and now I still don't know if I've escaped.
Maybe it's the pills' side-effect, maybe my mind and soul our out of place for ever...
Anyway, today, it's the day that my site www.onarfilms.com is back up.
I already received a correct order so I assume it's not going to explode one of these days again.
Thank you so much for your interest and wishes!
You don't know how good wishes can be to a sick person!

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ONAR FILMS SITE??
For those who happen to wonder what the hell happened with that site, here's some update.
3 months ago I was convinced the site was non-functional and crappy in more than 1 ways.
For example, I was NOT able to send Newsletters.
So, I had my webmaster pull it down and reconstruct it all over again.
BUT, how can I ever forget about the Devil, or, more precisely, how can the Devil forget about my ass??
More collateral damage then, with my webmaster facing some horrible family and personal and professional tragedies.
Until, 2 days ago, after 3 months of hard work from him, and days of work from me filling in the products etc, the site was supposedly "UP".
BUT then, all of a sudden, without any god damn reason at all, the whole construction, the whole site, goes KA-BOOOOM and gets KA-PUT!
My webmaster is already insane.
He must work all around the clock now just for me to get it up again and as for me I must enter another mind-boggling, nerve-wrecking marathon of doing everything all over again.
But then again, what's the point?
If people wanted to buy my stuff they could easily do it via EBAY.
And this just does NOT happen...
That's it for the moment gentlemen...
