You didn’t address the spoiler, which is where the movie’s title comes from. Or maybe the mushrooms had worn off by that time.

I watched this mess in High School (or maybe college). It was a hot mess 50 years ago and remains one.

Late to the party,

Regards.

"Please do not reveal the incredible surprise ending to ZARDOZ!"

I think I also saw this in a college film appreciation or depreciation class, and by the time that spoiler was revealed, I was no longer capable of any emotion besides annoyance.

Agreed, it was truly a low point in an already bad film.

By the way, not to give anything away, but we did go see Wicked last night. *wink*

Hilarious. Exactly as I remember it, except that you have finally made sense of it to me. Sort of.

Thanks, Scott. I had forgotten so much of this film and you've now reminded me of the entire movie, shot by shot.

What's your address? I want to...give you something. NOTE: It's not a penis, because that's baaaaaaad!

Hm. But maybe it was the other way around...! The first, radio play version of Hitchhiker's Guide came out in 1978, I think, but two-headed dudes were running riot around Low Budget America while Nixon was still President!

Am I mistaken or is this "Better Living Through Bad *Movies*"?
