It's been about three decades since I first watched ZARDOZ for the one and only time. I have now upgraded my opinion from "utter disaster" to "fascinating folly". Give me one two more rewatches and I may declare this a masterpiece.

I think I'll be starting a petition for a moratorium on any mention of Occam's Razor in crime film or fiction of any type. It's become such a tired cliché.

Great choice of films.
I have never managed to finish a single LB challenge as my viewing habits are way too scatterbrained and I seem to lack the discipline to stay the course.

I am months behind with updating my photography website but am slowly catching up again.
These are from a steampunk shoot at an abandoned railroad track in April.
I also started experimenting with medium format.
Some samples here; the rest on my website:

The Diabolical Dr. Z. 1966. Terrific fusion of gothic horror and sci-fi thriller from an era when Franco put style before sleaze. Strikingly shot, utterly unique.

The child of a were-quack fears she may inherit more than his estate in this backlot monster mash cheapie proximal to I Was a Teenage Werewolf, its salient queer-coded female lycanthropy somewhat undone by a gaslighting twist.
