    Very, very excited about Huston's Moby Dick...it's a great-looking film that deserves high-definition attention. (And it's also one of my favorite films of the 1950's.)

    Zardoz is a trip! I might have to spring for that one.

    Will Zardoz have an extended "touch teach" scene? :laugh:

    I finally sat through the entire film a few years ago. It was trippy. Don't know if I could do it again unless it was Rifftrax or something.

    Moby Dick is a great one. Peck is a nut.

    Well, it's February 16 and I'm losing faith; though Twilight Time seems not to have changed the release date.

    I saw Zardoz back when it came out; my buddy and I were tripping. I had to go back a few days later to see it again to verify its strangeness. Both viewings were strange, just different.

    Fox is still working on the restoration for "Zardoz" according to Twilight Time's Nick Redmond. Should be available for pre-order next month and released in April...

    Zardoz is pleased. We certainly don't want that red diaper being the wrong hue of red.

    Ha, ha, I saw it not long after release when a friend told me about it. After seeing it the first time I decided a second showing via a different perspective was required. The only way to go, and the same for the The Wizard of Oz, lol. We used to have a yearly get together long ago to watch Oz on tv, and they were some of the most fun gatherings I can recall.

    I never got the Charlotte Rampling thing. Her eyes scare me. Kinda in the same way Louise Fletcher's eyes scare me in "Cuckoo's Nest."

    That final scene with him on the whale -- man, I love that whole special effects sequence.

    Zardoz will also be a 4k transfer.

    I hope they include the Boorman commentary from the DVD.
