Zardoz? Actually yes. But with PO & GW decending upon us, I doubt that "living forever" is going to be one of our futuristic problems. What does Zardoz have to do with Hell's Ebollah plague?

I thought the super-bad special effects were similar. But I'm glad you are here. Can you remind us who is responsible for Hell's Ebola Plague? Some say the Saudis - some say Matt Savinar. Obviously you are setting me up. Few have seen the movie to start with.

It has everything to do with it.

The horses on the beach. I forget the terms. But basically, Connery was part of the fascist, Nazi SS, futuristic IslamoFascistJihadiDeathCult-types ...until he was set free by smokin-hot early 70's chickie-bunnies. And the flying head.

'Omega Man' is the next film you need to review. Heston in the Matheson Zombie classic.

Hell's Ebola Plague. C'mon, my man, we have screenplays to write.

The Zardoz community was largely about technology as you recall. They got past physical stuff and were into the whole mind thing. Oil would mean nothing if we could just get it out of our heads. No?

I have seen Zardoz but can hardly find anything related to Israeli/Lenabon or Peak Oil in it.
Closer to the Singularity, however.
I guess you have to be quite a bit loaded with your "good stuff" to see the analogies you are reporting.

However, in "Omega Man," that part where Brother Mathius wants everyone to either convert into being an Islamo-zombie or to die, well that could have a connection. Charlton Heston does the arms-outstretched sacrifice into the bloody pool at the end. Does his self-sacrifice for humanity ring a bell? Hmmm.
