Zardoz. The gaint floating head with the crazy man inside shouting “the gun is good, the penis is bad,” Sean Connery in a WAY too revealing outfit, the bizarre, apathetic, immortal poeple, and wierd pyramid magic.
It was hands down the most strange, unfathomable film I’ve ever seen, and I’ve watched The Dancing Outlaw.
You know, Sean Connery took that role and produced that movie (yeah, he fully embraced it) because he wanted to do something original. But I mean, as weird as it is, and as original it is as that, it is some serious Sci-Fi movie full of social commentary.

This movie disturbed me for days. What the actual fuck did I watch??
Yeah, I was surprised nobody mentioned it before me. I think part of it is how they ease you into it.
You go from thinking “oh this is some nice cinematography, seems like they’ll do some interesting character development” to suddenly realizing… well I’m not even sure how to explain it. It gets weird.
It had a weird fandom as well. All you get to see is a cult easing the protagonists into their cult stuff, but some people were full “yeah, female empowerment!” I mean, I get it, but they basically fell for the cult rethoric.
The Pacific Rim sequel. I just thought:“Why??”.
Beau is Afraid is absolutely mental. I had no idea what to expect when we went to see it, and I’m so thankful the cinema was empty so we could audibly talk about wtf was going on throughout. It’s definitely a movie I want people to watch but with the caveat that I’m not recommending it.
I absolutely loved Beau is Afraid, but yeah that last act was a trip. It reminded me of “Men”. The ending of that is just pure WTF.
The penis monster haunts my dreams! The whole movie was a trip and I absolutely loved the insanity of the first act, but the last 30 odd minutes were just mental
