Personally, I liked the Lynch version a little better than the TV mini

Yeah, I've seen both. The TV version only once, but the Lynch version many
times. I'm a Lynch fan. I loved the Twin Peaks TV series. It was a
groundbreaker.

Hmmm.

You mean the movie that contains a sisterhood of concubines,and some
flying fat guy with and eccentric doctor treating his oozing pustules.
An almost dead guy biting a poisonous gas pill and breathing on the
wrong dude.(oops!) Not to mention giant worms getting leashed and
ridden into a war that's being fought by people who is looking into
and operating a machine reminiscent to an antique penny arcade peep-
show, especially being led by Jose Ferrer who is gawking into the
viewfinder like he's watching Gypsy Rose Lee. And that's not counting
the fat blob of a thing that lives in a giant coffin-like closet that
oozes sweat on the fine marble floor? Oh, and Sting looking like a *#%
$ and yelling "What is truth!" ??

that movie?

You forgot about the homosexual nuance of the flying fat guy with the
oozing pustules nephew and his "cadre" of muscled fighting "partners"
and the themes of religion in which the Bene Gesserit used it as a
tool allowing politicians and the state to manipulate religious
beliefs for their own advantage and how Paul Atredies took advantage
of the Bene Gesserit's manipulation of Fremen religion while
simultaneously fearing and reviling having to do so which was
completely out of context in the film as compared to the novel.

that movie?

Yeah - that one.

Never took to "Twin Peaks" - it got a little too weird for me and
that's saying something.

I do like Lynch's work though. A good friend of mine, Ross Ruediger
who lives in San Antonio, TX (writer, critic, editor and independant
film consultant) wrote and directed his own self-financed movie
"Ravenswan" which is very Lynchian in construct - big time Lynch fan.
He's good friends with Jackie Earl Haley who is playing Rorschach in
the upcoming "Watchmen" movie. They are both Lynch nuts.

Sure, although the best critique I ever read of "Zardoz" was pretty
extravagant.

"Worst. Movie. Ever."

Pretty much sums it up.

One I read was: "No-Doze, is no cure, for Zardoz"

but the most lengthy critique I've seen was:

"The worst Sean Connery movie ever"
