I do like V for Vendetta, though I’m really here to suggest Z for Zardoz as well as Yor, but only for the opening theme song.

I cannot believe I have never heard of Zardoz, another science fiction film to take in there without doubt. Yor is also new to me, however it does look very much like a big pair of red pants. You have only recommended it for the music though I note. I shall investigate the pair (of films not pants). Thank you for your contribution President and Founder, I’m pleased you stopped by the cloud today 🙂 sonmicloud.

I am agog. And laughing still more. After an impressive start such as that I can’t possibly see how anyone would not be keen to carry on. And so I shall. This is the first gift the cloud and I have received on this platform (not shoes). I am honoured. Thank you good sir. – sonmicloud

Did you get my comment re re-blogging that piece I liked so much on your blog? If you’d rather I didn’t I completely understand, some people prefer to remain in the shadows. I am like that for the most part. – sonmicloud

Which piece, what? I must have missed it. Completely by accident, I assure you. What the hell are you talking about?

Ah, check your spam in the comment section, I suspect it may be hiding there. It’s happened to me before. I left a rather long-winded comment the upshot of which was that I wanted to re-blog that particular post on my blog. If it isn’t in your spam and has lost it’s way in the ether then I’ll go back again and tell you which it is 🙂 – sonmicloud

Was it, The Varieties of Circumstance? You did mention re-blogging there,so…yes, re-blog away. I don’t know what’s involved in that some computer majick no doubt, no need to get technical though, I’m sure you know your way around the keyboard!
I apologize. Most of that was just nonsense. Please, re-blog if you wish

Yes computer trickery has been at play I’m sure. Thank you President. I shall pen a few words this afternoon and then post away – sonmicloud.

*Update – I have watched Zardoz and you are right, it should be on the list, it’s clearly odd enough, and the music is indeed the best bit. I’m still amazed I had never heard of it before as it really is as mad as toast. My least favourite moment was when people started licking Sean Connery’s sweat. Bleahrrrgh.

Excellent. It is possibly my favorite odd film. This may only be due to my having seen it at an impressionable age on late night television, which means any hope for my examining it critically (which I have no desire to do) would only come after a professionally lead intervention.

Oh, and in a minute I’ll be over with the monkeys mentioning yet another influential film. See you there!

A vision of you swinging not from tree to tree, but post to post has been visualised from that comment. Not that I am in any way suggesting you are a monkey or indeed a man so hairy he’d be mistaken for one.
