Hey, T.C., how's it going? The reason I'm posting a message right now concerns the File that you made from some past messages I posted at the other Yahoo...
Pat, Forgive me, man. Sometimes the faith I put in Zardoz makes me do strange, very strange things. Capisci? LOL! ... you ... site. ... might ... letter ... ...
I first watched Zardoz at like 4 AM with two friends. It was in January, and I think the movie was shown on Fox Movie Channel. I was totally dumbfounded....
<<<Where is Zardoz available?>>> There's a nice little DVD out from 20th Century Fox that includes a widescreen version of the film that's a pretty good...
... I'm going to have to rewatch the picture specifically with these moments in mind before I can answer with assurance. My wife hasn't seen ZARDOZ in its...
<<<Does this make sense to you?>>> It sounds a pretty reasonable approximation of what Frayn must have had in mind, and what probably went on. Though never...
Scroll down, MUTANTS! it's also a good bet ... eliminate any ... (i.e. those ... objectives), if ... I think that they were principally RAISED in the culture...
Yes, Patrick wrote it; he's always great. I found it astonishing and poignant to say the least. I'm looking towards his opinions on the essay! C'mon, Tilton! ...
<<<Frayn was scared about malformations>>> Maybe, but I wonder. Natural selection, seems to me, would have handled the worst of those for him. The brutals'...

... He'd really have to be, since we never actually see any Exterminator WOMEN at any point. Not that they don't exist -- if Zardoz/Frayn was really serious...
... If one takes the whole idea of evolutionary pressure applied by predation, there's a sort of backdoor eugenics going on through Frayn's implementation of...
... This is an excellent question, as I think when watching the film that while this particular Vortex is broken and killed, there are other Vortices out...
The "Penis is evil" chant is just a way like another to keep the Exterminators' sexual hormones "quiet" for a while. Overpopulation was the very first REASON...
