Zardoz is definitely the latter. I appreciated its insane nature much more after hearing the commentary. There are a lot of ideas in there that were very badly communicated to the point where you will probably never catch them without listening to that commentary or reading about the film, and knowing them makes it…

From what I've read, all those legendary reports of people fainting during it were from that scene, and never any of the more famous shocks, even though most writing about the film implies that it was because of the possession scenes/blasphemy.

Sorcerer seemed to me to sort of reach towards making some kind of grand statement about the human condition, but it seemed like it didn't really know what it was trying to say and instead ended up being just an action movie with some incredible stylistic flourishes and an illusion of depth. It's most definitely…

Yep, his racism is the point here, as well as the reason he won the case.

There was some news a few months ago that the original elements of that had been found and a restoration was underway, but then Blatty and Kermode kind of put the lid on it in such a way that suggested it was true, but that they wanted to keep it secret until an official announcement.

I saw Sorcerer second, and thought it was mostly lacking suspense compared to the first. Though, that was probably just because I saw Wages of Fear already and had a good idea of where in the running time we'd be losing characters. So yeah, I think the tension level in the two is roughly equal depending on which you…

If that's your only reason for watching it, why not just skip to Chained Heat or Savage Streets or something instead?

I guess what I latched onto when I went from "uhhh…what's the point, why is this a classic, and how was anyone ever scared by this" to "this is one of my favorite horror films" was that Damian Karras is basically one of the most heroic characters of all time. I love the character and love the sad warmth Jason Miller…

Armond White: The Beginning

Oh, I definitely imported the Arrow blu-ray of that. Great, great movie for a whole variety of reasons.

Uhhh…Jean who? Is this a joke? I don't even know what to think anymore!

Legally Blonde is one of those movies constantly labelled "guilty pleasure" that is so well done it should just be "pleasure."

Agreed with all of these, besides maybe American Psycho, I don't even remember her being in that one! Man in the Moon in particular is frequently overlooked.

Freeway is some kind of masterpiece, I liked her way more there than here. I still need to watch 2.

Seems like it, considering we're now at 2 good Superman movies out of 10 attempts.

I feel like the sucking is irrelevant, it's if it bombs that it matters, and unfortunately this seems like it might be bomb-proof. Stuff like the Transformers movies gets even worse reviews than this and does fine. It's the unpopular franchises that can get sunk by bad word-of-mouth. Given past history, we'll…

That was the first thing I thought of, too, since they just released it on Blu-Ray a couple weeks ago. I was hoping for a tie-in and was hoping they would announce the casting of the Chinese food delivery man as well.

A lot of people say it's boring.

It's worth watching if you're into low-budget 70s horror. It's no lost classic, but it's like, second tier after you've seen the likes of "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" or "Messiah of Evil" or "Witch Who Came from the Sea" or whatever.

The end of the theatrical version, yes.
