/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

The 70's had their own weird shit:

That wasn't an attempt at sexiness, that was an attempt at making a movie while doing all the drugs.

[–] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 25 points 8 months ago

The sexiness was just a very happy accident.

Lol Zardoz was ahead of its time!

Hey, I love Zardoz. I have an original Zardoz poster what was (until I recently swapped it for a The Human Duplicators poster) on my wall in a frame.

But seriously, it was a drug-fueled mess. John Boorman admitted as much:

Um, it was The '70s, and I was doing a lot of drugs. Frankly, even I'm not entirely sure what parts of the movie are about.

The insanity of Zardoz is exactly why I love it. Does it make sense? Not much. But I love a lot of movies that don't make much sense.

Lol it's not my style at all (I'm more a Barbarella cheese fan), but I do appreciate the spectacle it achieved, even if it looks outrageously silly today. It's definitely a product of its time. Seriously though, you could take the movie and all it's wild production stories, claim it was made in the 80s, and everybody would believe you. I'm not unconvinced Boorman wasn't a time traveler
