Grand Illusion and "Zardoz"

Seattle used to have a number of arthouse movie theaters, that showed movies that are not in the commercial circuit, and I loved them. However, unfortunately some of them have closed, but we're lucky that one of the ones still standing is the Grand Illusion. Set in what used to be some kind of office, at the University District, it is a non-profit institution that is kept by volunteers. It is a tiny theater, but exactly because of that it feels very cozy, and it has a very cool selection of movies, many of which are hard to find anywhere else. Even better: if you want to see one of your favorite movies on the big (-ish) screen, you can just volunteer there and one of the perks is picking a movie. I had been there once before, but that was a long time ago, and it was great to see that the Grand Illusion continues to do great. I watched "Zardoz": a completely bonkers movies from the 70's that the director later admitted that he was on drugs when he wrote the script. Interestingly enough, the main character (whose name is simply "Z") is played by none other than Sean Connery, who at that time was trying to shake off the image of James Bond. Well, he couldn't find a more different movie! It turned out to be a great experience and despite being such a weird movie, I kinda liked it.
