Nope. More obscure.
I wasn’t guessing. It’s just what I think of when I hear ‘Zed’.
But now I’m curious…
Zero-sum.
Think Sean Connery.
Is this a reference to Zardoz?
Got it.

Thank you for not inserting that.

Zardoz… Proof that drug usage was quite prevalent in 1970s fillmmaking.
Drug use used to be quite prevalent in filmmaking. It still is, but it used to be too.
TIL about the existence of Zardoz. The 70s were a very weird place. I was there and thought it weird then, and it hasn’t aged all that well.
That movie came about because they wanted to adapt the Lord of the Rings to film, but the studio thought it was too expensive. So the filmmaker who still had the creative urge thought, fuck it, I’ll just make up my own fantasy realm.
I shudder to think what Peter Jackson would have done in those circumstances.
Isn’t that how we’d gotten Excalibur as well?
You’re right, I’d forgotten about that.
I liked Excalibur though, especially Patrick Stewart as a knight.
It’s a fucking awesome movie. I still watch it regularly.
Music is the best.
