Eric’s Bad Movies: ‘Zardoz’ (1974)

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

We go all the way back to 1974, the year of my nativity, for this week’s edition of Eric’s Bad Movies at Film.com: “Zardoz,” an infamous trainwreck starring Sean Connery, a creepy mustache, and a tiny pair of shorts. I’d never even heard of this thing until last year, when I first asked for suggestions for Eric’s Bad Movies and it came up several times. Last week’s call for new recommendations brought it to the surface again, and I could put it off no longer. It’s one of the few Eric’s Bad Movies that I wouldn’t actually discourage anyone from watching, because it’s just so weird. No amount of mocking and ridicule can accurately describe it.

What decade is it at Variety?

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Robert Koehler’s review of the new film “Fired Up,” published in Variety, says it’s just “a sad, cheapo bid to be the ‘Bring It On’ of the ’00s.”

One problem, Bob: “Bring It On,” released in August 2000, is already the “Bring It On” of the ’00s.

@jooshanoosh Oh, maybe I’ll have to watch the Matt Biedel episode. Does he get eaten by a bear, like the last time he was on TV?

@marksingletree Oh, your Sally Kern video made me lol. I think I hate Buttars more because he just LOOKS meaner and grumpier and hatefuler.

It’s official: I’m done w/ “Heroes.” Deleted the 3 unwatched episodes from DVR, canceled the season pass. Feels good to make a clean break.
