Thanks!

I tried watching it in black and white once and found it easier to take. Kind of like a retro 50's movie which made the bad dialogue less incongruous.

Picked up: BLOW-UP JUDEX DEKALOG STRAW DOGS ROSEMARY'S BABY LA DOLCE VITA

It's on DVDBeaver: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film5/blu-ray_reviews_67/zardoz_blu-ray.htm

Curious about this Return to Tomorrow book. Does it have pictures or is it all text?

ZARDOZ is not a movie to enjoy the first time you see it. The film is constructed as something of a puzzle and it is only in subsequent viewings where it all makes sense. It DOES tell a logical story that is easy to follow once you have seen it at least once. Granted , most people don't...

He even revised the book the movie was based on. The later "Ninth Configuration" is a substantially rewritten version of the original "Twinkle, Twinkle Killer Kane".

Fair enough.

Not really. Connery is Scottish, Brosnan is Irish, and Lazenby is Australian. Only Craig and Moore have been Brits. I agree that Taylor would have made a fine Bond.

it should also be mentioned that the 2003 versions of the Indiana Jones films were "corrected". That is, they were tweaked somewhat to enhance the visual effects. I believe the Blu-ray reverted back to the original theatrical versions. Nothing major was changed, just matte lines erased, and...

But that assumes that the production actually knew it was going to spend $34 million. I don't think they did. They ended up spending much more than planned in Paris and Rio for reasons that had nothing to do with what showed up on the screen (overpaying, out and out extortion, etc). For my money...

The commentaries are only on the theatrical version.

I had toyed around with getting this title back when it was a Walmart exclusive, but talked myself out of it for various reasons. The comments in this thread have convinced be to get it. I was astounded when I first saw this movie in widescreen on AMC years ago, for many of the reasons...

I just got my store pickup confirmation, so I guess they really have them. I got THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. Both were $9.95.

Looks like Best Buy has their exclusives on their web site now. What's more, they showed as in stock and available when I placed my order.
