New to the forum, just thought I would say hello!

What a horrible movie. Remember, kiddies:

"The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, and poisons the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth and kill!"

I'll remember to stay behind your aura.

... the FUCK!?!

Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :

Set your reference rays for Sean Connery, "The Wizard Of Oz" by L. Frank Baum, and, uh....a giant talking stone head.

Yes! it's a stern warning against letting a self appointed group of amoral philosophical elite steal your freedoms for your own good!

One of John Boorman's best in my book!

PS; If you've only seen the movie Zardoz on TV. Find the new DVD directors cut edition, it's really good!

ZARZOD KILLED MY FAHTER !!!1!!!

Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :

Allight...so WELCOME already!
What is your pedigree anyway?
Model builder, starship designer, amoral instrument of destruction, master of scathing political commentary, in trouble with the law, counterculture fetishist, college student or just general sarcastic sci-fi fan?
Some combonation thereof?

Posted by ZARDOZ (Member # 1064) on :

Well anyhow, I didn't want to discuss Irish SF movies from 1974 here, Just wanted to say Hello!

So.. Hello! In answer to your queries;

I have never been a starship designer, nor am I in trouble with the law, I finshed with college in 1986. all other catagories, yes. I'm also a sceptic of religions and a slow but carefull typist!

hi z

...1986. All ot...
careful

I AM LIKE THE PUNISHER WHEN HE DIED AND THEN HE BECAME JESUS OR AN ANGEL AND THEN HE DID GOD'S WORK!!

Dear Lord was that awful. Ennis seems like a genius simply because he followed that.

O irony, have not your wicked way with him...

Posted by Balaam Xumucane (Member # 419) on :

Howdy, Z. As you can see, we're a bunch of nit-picky over-clever assholes. WELCOME!

Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :

Truly does Sean say (roughly): "When a man huntsh dragonsh for long enough, he becomesh a dragon himshelf!"

But then in a later film he says "I AM the lasht dragon!" sho - er, so, make of that what you will.

ROTFLMAO!

Guess I'll have to stand for now on. [Eek!]

Welcome, Zardoz. Hopefully, you're a fast learner, 'cause the folks here have a quick wit and are even quicker to nail your backside to the grass for the slightest transgression. [Wink]

Welcome.

A Tip I plan to give a fair shot. That movie always makes me laugh.

Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :

Welcome!. It's been a while since we had a newbie with a sense of grammar and punctuation [Wink]

Posted by MinutiaeMan (Member # 444) on :

But even more importantly, try not to make a big deal about your proper grammar and punctuation. Ohterwise tehy wil amke funn ov you 4 evry missspeling you make!

[Wink]

Anyway, welcome! It's good to have some more intelligence to add to the mix here. There's an unfortunately short supply in some regions of the Internet these days...

Posted by Wraith (Member # 779) on :

...but not here. Just good, old fashioned lunacy.

Welcome, and good luck!!!!!!

Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :

I just wanted to say: Good luck. We're all counting on you.

Posted by ZARDOZ (Member # 1064) on :

Hey, thanks for the welcome and support! While I did go to school on an english scholarship, I will admit to sometimes not being the best with my spelling. I type slow enough without stopping to recheck everything!

Points all around for so many folks knowing anything about Zardoz! Most people, even in SF circles, only know of it as a trivia question they missed.

TO NOT KILL OUR FAHTERS!!!1!!?!!

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Don't mind him. He had the fish.

Posted by Dr. Jonas Bashir (Member # 481) on :

Ohhh, newbie, interesting. I'm the eternal newbie here, as I seldom post and everything read. So, look at me as a role model. Yes, do it.

Now bring me a Pepsi twist, chilled. With two cubes of ice. Chop, chop.

Posted by Bigtom (Member # 1068) on :

Zardoz it's your fault if these loonys dislike me! Whats up?

Posted by ZARDOZ (Member # 1064) on :

Bigtom! Welcome! These guys are OK, tough but fair, like Robert Blake as the preist in that TV show Hell Town!

Just offer them some microwave cat and they'll be OK! [Razz]
