Mark Cousins: Kirk Douglas interview

I’m a life-long fan of Mark Cousins work. I was his neighbour for a while! And I still think his scene-by-scene series is a completely knock-out documentation of filmmakers and actors. It has vanished from the internet. I assumed it might have related to the scandal relating to Kirk. It’s essential viewing and mark handles the conversation perfectly.

Two questions:
A: does it still exist online?
B: why hasn’t Mark’s series made it onto disc?

He’s a lovely guy but a real force of energy in his youth. I wish I could see his chat with Kirk again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Liebestraum. Hard to find, worth watching.

This was introduced to me back in the 90s via a very cult tv show called Moviedrome. It has its roots in the 80s with Alex Cox presenting (must see) and replaced by equally brilliant Mark Cousins.

Director: Mike Figgis.
cast: Kim Novak, Bill Pullman, Kevin Anderson Genre: Noir, Murder mystery
Influences: David Lynch, John Huston.

Plot: Nick, a young architect reluctantly comes back to his home town to visit his dying mother. He sees a building being demolished which has tied memories and personal significance for. He discovers that his old town days friend and fellow architect is behind it. Things unravel during his stay.

Notes: I love this film and it is incredibly hard to find now in Europe. It's Bill Pullman's personal favourite film he was cast in. It weirdly reminds me of old point click adventure games I'd play on my PC in the 90s. Music is very Twin Peaks. I struggle to find anyone who has seen this film. Hope some of you have seen it and would love your thoughts

Custom Final Fight (14 in 1 duluxe)

I was never happy with the old Final Fight release. Not a fan of the old risers and the shark fin cab shape. So I bought a SF 14 in 1 deluxe. Based on a proper cab shape and I changed the side medallions, bezel, marquee and lit the coin slots. Found a nice warm yellow t mould colour to match the artwork. I wanted it to look as faithful as possible. I decided not to touch the CPO artwork. I kinda like it looking like this. Final fight never had a dedicated cab, it was always a conversion kit. But I’m very happy with it. Little side note for anyone who doesn’t know, the movie Streets of Fire was the main inspiration for Capcom Japan to make Final Fight. I do have one little addition left I’m working on. Cut a key down to the twist grip, glue it to the fake coin slot and have a little Hagar Gashapin keyring having from it - just to make it look like an operating coin mech!

Can you buff out these little scratches?

Has anyone tried buffing out these little surface scuffs you get with the Mz-RH10?

I’m hoping you folks can help me source replacement straps for 2 of my G-Shock watches. My dog got a hold of them when she was a puppy and chewed them up. Both were purchased in Japan several years ago but I haven’t had any luck finding the correct size and colours to order replacements. Any help would be awesome!

I bought this a while ago, they’re quite common in the UK but was lucky enough to find a mint one, still in its old box. The Japanese version of this unit had a limited edition version of pink speaker mesh! So I replaced fabric on mine to match the Japanese limited release. Change the display colour to match and it looks v cool.
