Second, Fox struck a new ZARDOZ print in 2008 and it's played L.A.. It also has played within the last year or two in other venues.


     Did not know that; learn something new every day; still getting more & more difficult to get prints out of Fox & Warner.
     And I still think it's a bad choice!

Hey, wasn't Dave all for "so bad it's good" last year?


     But I am for good bad movies!  The more the merrier!  It's just that I think Rollerball & Zardoz are BAD bad movies!
     Difference!

There isn't a movie called "Starbeast". Perhaps, you mean STAR CRYSTAL? That would 1993 's SF/18. Yeah, there was a lot of schlock in the lineup:

20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA
ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI
AELITA QUEEN OF MARS-ALLOY ORCHESTRA LIVE
BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES
BREAKFAST OF ALIENS
CATWOMEN OF THE MOON
FORTRESS
GALAXINA
INVADERS FROM MARS (1953)
MANT (b/w movie within movie from feature, MATINEE)
SPACE PATROL (episodes)
STAR CRYSTAL
STARCRASH

At least there was 20,000 LEAGUES, BANZAI, APES, the original classic INVADERS FROM MARS and that great Alloy Orchestra performance for AELITA to class things up. Stuart Gordon also gave us a sneak screening of FORTRESS.

     Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!  Oh, yes!   Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin
     Good one, Kirok!  You are soooooo right!  Brownie points for you!
     Zardoz: the movie you cant make more incomprehensible, even if you try!

Amazon give it five stars!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for an in-between wax

As it turns out you can put it on your skis and snowboard for better performance! Must be why prints are hard to find.Wink

OK -- Here we go. I can't believe this thread even exists! I'm honored!!! For the record, I've never said "Zardoz" is my favorite Marathon film. Yes, I've seen it eight times, but who's counting? And for another record, I couldn't sit here and tell any of you what the hell it's about. Incomprehensible? Yeah, that's probably the right word. But it has Charlotte Rampling and Sara Kestelman in it! And the whole thing is, err, umm, oddly entertaining, and spectacularly violent. I'm all for watching it again, with you. One more thing: I got to meet and chat with Charlotte Rampling at the Toronto International Film Festival this year. Yes, I got the autograph, but I didn't have any "Zardoz" stills. She signed one from "Angel Heart."

Welcome back, Ed.

I didn't mean to imply ZARDOZ was your very favorite Marathon film, but it has become custom here to parry back and forth over its merits, and Ed has been one of its strongest champions.

Speaking of Charlotte Rampling, she's the subject of a new documentary called CHARLOTTE RAMPLING: THE LOOK

(trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj2ApqJtvbA).

I saw a review which bemoans the fact that ZARDOZ isn't even mentioned in the doc! What!!? A movie about Rampling as a style icon but no mntion of her dressed like:
