....speaking of ZARDOZ. New article on the film from England:

Ben Wheatley on Zardoz
The 'Sightseers’ and 'Kill List’ director Ben Wheatley explains why John Boorman’s Seventies sci-fi Zardoz is utterly unbelievable.

Zardoz (1974) has one of the greatest opening sequences of all time. A giant head flies down onto some grassy plains where all these guys are riding on horseback, including Sean Connery. Guns shoot out of the mouth of the huge head at the riders. It’s utterly incredible.

The film is known for the amazing outfit Connery wears as the main character. It was very brave of one of the world’s biggest actors to wear a red mankini with thigh-high boots.

Connery plays the character of Zed totally seriously, and pulls it off with such panache. The film isn’t a spoof – it’s serious, psychedelic science fiction. ...

"Beyond 1984. Beyond 2001. Beyond Love. Beyond Death"

That's a quote from the poster for Zardoz and I remember it without having to look it up online.
I saw it in its original theater release, I read the NOVELIZATION!
MAKE THE VOICES STOP! Or at least stop the scottish accent.

BTW in one of the Simpson's books its revealed Comic Book Guy has a Zardoz head hanging lamp.   Cheesy
 
I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.
