I think Anthony Lane was wearing the cranky pants when he wrote that reveiw. (Probably when he saw the movie too.)

I agree with some of what he says, but his thesis seems to be, "Everthing in the Star Wars movies is stupid."

Although I'll have to see if I can incorporate "Break me a fucking give" into everyday conversation....

I think I need a "Break me a fucking give" icon.

Although, wouldn't Yoda be more likely to say, "A fucking break give me"?

Sean Connery in Zardoz. [link]

Could somebody please shoot me now? Kthx.

Why did I click? Why?

Zardoz

The single most excrutiating movie experience of my ever-lovin' life.

Bar. None.

From IMDB:

In the distant future Earth is divided into two camps, the barely civilized group and the overly civilized one with mental powers. A plague is attacking the second group after which it's members cease to have any interest in life and become nearly catatonic. When Sean Connery one of the barbarians, crosses over, the tenuous balance in their world is threatened.

Brutals are told that when they die they will go to the vortex, where the Eternals live immortally. Zed, an Exterminator-class brutal who worships the stone head Zardoz, comes upon an old library where a mysterious stranger teaches him how to read. When he finds a copy of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, he sets out to learn the secret of the god he worships, and disrupts life in the vortex.

C'mon - how could this possibly be bad?

Did you click on the link, man?

Did you click on the link, man?

Yeah, but I got light-headed for a bit and forgot what the link was.

All that is bad in this world may very well spring from that crotch.
