Discussion Any thoughts on Zardoz?

I saw this movie when I was in a vacation when me and my brother stayed up and we were 10 and 12. It’s super bizarro with ultra violence, and lots of nudity, and Sean Connery flying around in a stone triangle. So much to unpack it ha to be one of the strangest big celebrity movies I have ever seen.

Two years ago, I gave this movie an earnest chance-fuck the memes, fuck the riffs, lemme just watch this flick on its own terms and see what I truly think. Didn't enjoy it. It had some amusing moments (the examination scenes where they're trying to coax an erection out of Connery's character was funny) but goddamn, this flick was too long and didn't offer enough to overcome its poor reputation, in my eyes.
