I'll say this for Zardoz, and David Lynch's Dune, and all of those other big crazy movie failures. They represented big ideas. Directors willing to swing for the fences! They could never be made today, studios are way too conservative with big budgets now, and we're all poorer for it (except, I suppose, the studios themselves, purely in a monetary sense).
