The one with Sean Connery giving a definitively rotten performance wearing bright-red leather hot pants? Well, I recently sat through the DVD and was struck by how closely the advanced/backward civilizations paralleled the divisions of human society in Wolfe's Urth. And the idea of keeping certain humans in stasis like poor Mamelta to be "unfrozen" or "decanted" at need. (Though properly speaking, that's on the Whorl not on Urth) I suggest this in a spirit of good humor, but some Lupines might enjoy watching "Zardoz" in the interests of research Pip In a message dated 1/18/2011 5:57:23 P.M.
