when World O' Crap goes to the movies... "Zardoz"

[sergebroom]

Back in the early 1970s, John Boorman wrote and directed SF movie Zardoz. The mere mention of it seems to provoke groans from many people. That being said, World O' Crap published an awesome review of it some time ago. Here are Parts One, Two and Three. Be warned that keyboards and monitors may suffer from the reading, should you be in the process of inqesting liquids. It did that to me, and I like the movie.

I remember seeing Zardoz on a small black and white television and thinking that this was a huge comedown for Connery. But then, he got paid for it.

Actually, at that time, his career was in the doldrums. He had quit James Bond movies for good and wasn't getting any other work. I think it's a few years later with Robin and Marian that things started happening again.

You're right. He hadn't been in anything for several years.

I remember liking it - but I have never watched it again. I probably won't and will just enjoy the misty memory.

I know how that feels. I could easily find out for myself since I have it on DVD, but my wife made it clear she was about as interested in being in the room while I'm watching it as she is when I pop in the DVD of At The Earth's Core...
