[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 688820, member: 3887"] The subject of Zardoz came up in conversation over drinks last week. Rather, conversation about "that movie w/Sean Connery in a diaper, all those sleek half-naked Eurotrash women, and the flying stone head that vomitted up rifles"... Needless to say, I found a lot of brilliant moments in Zardoz. I can't quite argue that it isn't a failure, but its an ambitious one, with some startling imagery. And at least its an attempt at real sci-fi {however muddled and pretentious}, a bit like The Time Machine crossed w/Michael Moorcock's Dancers at the End of Time. With Sean Connery in a diaper. I have to give some props to any director {in this case, John Boorman, who did Excalibur}, who is willing risk absolute ludiscrousness in order to realize their idiosyncratic vision. At any rate, its certainly better than Battlefield Earth or the D&D movie. If only for all the stylish nudity... [/QUOTE]
