Best Week Ever — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:49:24 -0500

What follows is not in any way "topical". But it;s Friday. You;ve worked hard all week, and you deserve to see this. Zardoz is a 1974 Sean Connery movie directed by John Boorman that - due to some clerical error on the part of God - I was yet to have been made aware of until this moment. This quite simply looks like the most insane/greatest movie that;s ever been made. If I had plans for weekend with anybody who;s reading this, sorry, but I;m not going to make it. You can find me in apartment, stoned, watching Zardoz over and over again. I have seen the future, and it doesn;t work. Then Zardoz created God.

They double-crossed Walker, took his $93,000 cut of the heist and left him for dead, but they didn't finish the job. Big mistake. He - someday, somehow - is going to finish them. Lee Marvin is in full antihero mode as remorseless Walker, talking the talk and walking the walk in John Boorman's (Deliverance) edgy neo-noir classic filled with imaginative New Wave style, blunt dialogue and Walker's relentless quest that, one by one, smashes into the corporate pecking order of a crime group called the Organization. Angie Dickinson plays the accomplice who uses her seductive wiles to ensnare one of Walker's prey. "I want my 93 grand," Walker growls at him. Throughout, the payoff to that demand is action that "hits like a fat slug from the .38 Lee Marvin uses as an extension of his fist" (Newsweek).
