Last day of the Challenge – we did it!
A to Z Challenge– Cult Classics –Z
Movies-Music-Sci-fi Book-Bloggers-Dragon Term
Movie –
This bizarre post-apocalyptic film was written, produced, and directed by John Boorman in 1974. It features star Sean Connery in the worst outfit ever.
Music –
His best-selling album to date, Rob’s first solo album away from White Zombie went Triple Platinum. Giving homage to horror films, the album featured such hits as Dragula and Living Dead Girl.
Science Fiction Book –
This 1967 novel was originally published as a serial and was one of his earliest works.
Blogger –

Dragon of the Stars Term –
Zeal
Defined at ‘great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective.’ While Aden’s pursuit of a command and the queen’s daughter is more dogged and methodical, Ensign Pavott’s pursuits are more heartfelt and passionate.
Dragon of the Stars is out now!

Fissures will open, buildings will crumble, and pecs will jiggle.
Have you suffered through Zardoz? Fan of Rob Zombie? Ready for the IWSG next week? Signed up for the blogfest? Going to see San Andreas? And how do you feel about the end of the Challenge…?
(I am BEAT! I’ll be taking Friday OFF and enjoying Avengers: Age of Ultron and some time with my wife. Catch up with comments on Saturday.)
And if you missed it, yesterday I visited Janice Hardy’s Fiction University and discussed the pros and cons of small presses.
Number #1? Yeah!
ReplyDeleteJeremy
I have nightmares of Zardoz, enjoy Rob Zombie's solo stuff and my secret love for Alexandra Daddario... please don't tell her. lol
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long month, lots of hellos and new friends.
"Z" we made it... thank you!

There's no earthly way of knowing.
Which direction we are going!
HOLLYWOOD NUTS!
Come Visit: You know you want to know if me or Hollywood... is Nuts?
Good Z post Alex am a follower of PK.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on number 6.
Yvonne.
Hi Alex - the Z things I know (as usual) none of .. but PK I've known a while ... and then time off for everyone - enjoy Friday and the Avengers film .. but more importantly time with your wife.
ReplyDeleteReedsy sounds an interesting site - and I'll be checking that out as well. Zeal is an excellent word - something we all have and can have - a great attribute .. cheers Hilary
You did it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
I don't remember when I saw Zardoz. But I know that I did not want to see it again.
Oh, yes, time for a break. Just in time to see the Avengers!! I'll see you next Wednesday:)
ReplyDeleteI've read PK's work, but I'm not familiar with the other Z items you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteAfter that comment about Sean's "work outfit" I had to Google some images. *gag* Yep. Worst outfit. Even worse than Keira Knightly's painful-looking one King Arthur.
ReplyDeleteRob Zombie and Zardoz - what a way to end the challenge! We made it. :)
ReplyDeleteJeremy, number one! And Zardoz would cause anyone nightmares.
ReplyDeleteHilary, I will enjoy Friday.
Edi, I don't blame you.
Donna, I warned you it was bad!
And so the Internet lets out a big sigh now that the Challenge is over…and you guys can get some rest. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWow, IWSG time already? Where did this month go, Alex?
Rob Zombie turned out to be a great producer in addition to a cool musician.
Loved the challenge, but so glad it's done. Will be nice to see my family again.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the movie, I'm beat too.
ReplyDeleteSan Andreas could be fun, or it could just be a lot of special effects. Enjoy your day off tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know any of your Z's except PK. Congrats on making it through.
ReplyDeleteNope, I don't know any of them either but have come across P.K. Hezro before this.
ReplyDeleteI like Ensign Pavott. Nice young lady. Have a good rest Alex, you certainly deserve it. I already have a post up for Friday and Saturday. My Z blog had the wrong time on it so didn't post til late today.
Oh wow! Hard to believe it's Z already. For me, probably not for the A-Zers. Enjoy your break, Alex. All of you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteThis - "pecs will jiggle" - made me laugh. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing A-Z, Alex! Enjoy your Friday!
I'm not really a fan of his but I have listened to some Rob Zombie in my day. ;)
ReplyDeleteHow dare you, sir! Sean Connery can do no wrong!
ReplyDeleteZippity doo dah...Cheers!!
ReplyDeleteFunny, now we can drink a White Zombie-lol. I don't dare drink one and watch Rob's movie-do I?
Captain-you all need to celebrate! Awesome, bravo, and cheers!!!
I LOVE Hellbilly Deluxe! Such a great album.
ReplyDeleteHere we are at the end of another challenge.
Ready for next year? ;)

Unfamiliar with all the Zs. But I really want to write a book starting with Z, just so I've got a chance to be featured in the future - I think there's a gap in the market :-)
ReplyDeleteZardoz was truly terrible
ReplyDeleteWho can forget Rob Zombie. Now I have to check out Zardoz, if only to suffer with the rest of you. And yes, I've worked with PK Herzo....wonderful talent.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your A-Z challenge. Your theme was one of my favorites.
I'd love to see San Andreas. My brother just had me watch a trailer for it a few days ago and I think it looks cool. Unfortunately I'm REALLY behind on my movies and the frequency with which the good ones are coming out isn't going to slow down anytime soon. Don't know when I'll get around to this one. :/
ReplyDeleteThe Challenge wasn't difficult for me this year in getting the posts up, but a big fail in visiting other blogs. There are just so many of them!! I'll see San Andreas when it's available to me. We lived there when it hit and our family has some pretty intense memories of that earthquake. Weird title though--not very exciting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, now you can resume the other activities you dropped, like eating, sleeping and such. ;) Pk, it's been ages since last time I visited. Should drop by one of these days.
ReplyDeleteI can safely say I have NEVER heard of that movie, book, or album. I need to check out more cult stuff, I think I'm too mainstream!
ReplyDeleteElise, not to mention a great producer of Halloween celebrations at theme parks.
ReplyDeleteJo, thanks.
Madeline, I am here to amuse!
Tony, Google it. I dare you.
Tim, at the moment, no!
Annalisa, clever idea.
Dean, thanks!
Liesel, we're hitting the summer movies now so prepare for an onslaught.
Karen, that's scary.
Al, not sure what I was doing before the Challenge...
Yay! You've made it through the Challenge. You've had a big month. Take more than a day to rest. :) Zardoz, hehehe! I'm ready for IWSG next week. Have a great weekend, Alex, and enjoy the flick!
ReplyDeletePhilip K. Dick is my favorite sci fi author. I'll read anything he writes. And Rob Zombie makes me happy. Congrats for making it to the end Alex! It was a GREAT year.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe April is almost over. And I'm still snickering at your snarky comment about that movie.
ReplyDeleteAnother great finish to the A to Z!! I was sorry to sit on the sidelines this year, but always eager to see your posts, Alex. You've definitely earned a rest.
ReplyDeleteWow, haven't heard of that movie at all. Rob Zombie is alright, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan. San Andreas looks awesome, though. Happy Z!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Rob Zombie fan, but it looks as though I should be. I wouldn't want to be his enemy.
ReplyDeleteIs it really over? And we have IWSG next Wed? Oy vey.
Awesome job as always, Alex. You're the best of the best.
Great Zs! I don't know much about Rob Zombie except didn't he do a remake of Halloween? Or was it Friday the 13th? Darned if I can keep track of that stuff!
ReplyDeleteWe're moving Saturday so I've been doing A to Z amid great chaos. I feel like I'm on a treadmill, racing to keep up with everyone's blogs! I'll be SO glad when everyone stops posting daily so I can keep up. I'm back to M, W, F after this.
Pecs will jiggle . . . LOL - if you've seen Journey 2: The Mysterious Island - you'll have a TMI insight on the Rock's pec jiggling abilities - thankfully, he was making fun of himself. I think I'll pass on San Andreas.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to see The Avengers . . . but I'm not sure if it will be this weekend or next.
Happy End to A to Z and I hope you have a wonderful weekend off!
Congratulations on another A-Z Blast of blogging delight and stress :)
ReplyDeleteKudos to you and your co-hosts - spectacular job well done.
Looking forward to next year :)
I feel so special. Thanks, Alex!
ReplyDeletePlus I'm in the same blog post with Rob Zombie---awesome. :)
Got ISWG on the calendar for next week.
Th BBC blog fest sounds like a riot!
Zardoz and Gargoyles are my two favorite cult/B Movies.
ReplyDeleteHeres to the Galaxies greatest Ninjas. Congratulations to everyone who survived to the end.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of Zardoz and keep meaning to watch it, one more for the bucket wish list, Still so many cool blogs to visit - here I come!
Lauren, we want you happy!
ReplyDeleteCherie, I aim to amuse.
Thanks, Patricia.
Thanks, Robyn!
Stephanie, he's directed a lo of films. And I agree - everyone posting daily has been draining.
Tyrean, I've not seen that one.
Thanks, Mark!
PK, you're welcome. And the blogfest should be a blast.
Zap ZZ Top and we're done. Very fun A to Z. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like we MADE it!
ALEX!
Great theme. Great books. Great music. Great bloggers! Great information! Great sharing! Great ... everything!
I'm so glad to be a part of this Challenge with you guys *wipes tear* and honored!
Rob Zombie's music FOCKS! But, his movies look too scary to me.
PK is pretty awesome too!
Yes, I will probably watch that earthquake movie, but on DVD.
:)
Have a great A2 weekend! We shall discuss later.
Heather
I really enjoyed all of your posts during the A-Z Alex. This challenge was the hardest one of all for me to finish, but we did it. Woo hoo.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read the book by Philip K. Dick. The movie and music, not so interested in.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alex, for visiting me. Every. Single. Day! I, on the other hand, have not done nearly so well and am ready for the challenge to be finished
Thank you for the shout out, Alex!
ReplyDeleteI saw Zardoz at the movie theater not long after it was released. I don't remember a single thing about it which I guess is apparently a good thing.
ReplyDeleteGot jolted by a small earthquake this morning and got kind of startled. I'd rather just keep San Andrea a movie experience and not real life.

Join us on May 4 with your post of Reflections about this year's A to Z.
Tossing It Out
Oh I must watch Zardoz if just to see the outfit.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the A-Z, although I never doubted you would. Me? Yes.
See you Monday.
Thanks, Spacerguy!
ReplyDeleteHeather!! Glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoyed your trip down X-Files memory lane. We're done. Put a fork in us.
Thanks, Jaybird - we did it!
Bish, no worries.
Ted, you're welcome.
Lee, wow! What a way to wake up.
I had never even heard of the movie but now I'm terribly curious...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making it through the Challenge!
Congratulations on reaching the end of the challenge. Hope you manage a few quieter days to reflect and catch up.
ReplyDeleteNice job finishing the challenge! I love that you used "Zombie" for "Z"
ReplyDeleteNice job!
Hey, BTW, Dragon of The Stars was delivered a few days ago and my husband and I were admiring the cover art. Very nice 3D image! It makes me excited to read the book!!
It's a little sad the challenge is over, but it's time to get back to work. I'll be there for IWSG, A to Z reflections, and the Carnage Blogfest. See ya around!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of the movie, San Andreas, but I guess I'd better see it. I live on the San Andreas fault. Seriously. Right on it. I can see the fault line from my property. I also had the lovely experience of it shatter just about everything glass in my house in '89. I could have written about that quake with great emotion.
ReplyDeletePoor Sean in Zardoz. What were they thinking? San Andreas. Wow, another turkey for poor Dwayne Johnson. Spend some time with your poor wife!
ReplyDelete:-)
So glad you didn't do Zappa. My husband LOVES LOVES LOVES Zappa. I have a very differing opinion. ;) Congrats on making it to Z!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the book with Ted Cross's story in. Never heard of the music or movie you featured today. Not going to see that movie either, probably not even on video.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to get some yard work done this weekend since the challenge if over. It really went fast.
I'm still considering that blogfest.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the A to Z!
Oh God-Zardoz-hahahaaaa. I think Sean Connery doesn't want to be reminded of that one. I don't know your other pics for music or books. I love the blurbs you have been giving about your book:) As for the new film-I will wait for video. I heard they may stall the opening due to the horrible earthquake in Nepal. I am dead tired and will take time to reboot as well and create some cards. I miss my craft room:)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Reedsy. Thanks for sharing that!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for all your hard work for the Challenge. Congrats on another great year.
Not a fan of the entries listed her for Z but it's been a fun month stopping by and checking out your highlights.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to additional postings from you.
Keep on bloggin'!
Finally, I can go back to being one of the only ones who posts everyday lol
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that movie, glad it is so too.
Avengers 2 I`ll be seeing tomorrow at 1.
congrats on finishing the challenge! loved your posts--enjoy some time off and enjoy the Avengers!
ReplyDeleteTeresa, Google the image first and save yourself the misery.
ReplyDeleteLauren, awesome! Thanks for purchasing it.
Tamara, awesome.
Lee, that's rather frightening...
Roland, I will!
Rosey, my opinion matches yours.
Robin, join us!
Birgit, go work on some cards this weekend.
Jeffrey, I will try to continue to amuse and entertain!
Pat, you can have it!
Thanks, Beth!
I definitely need to work on my Z movies. I haven't seen any of these.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve some time off. Enjoy your A movie! We're looking forward to seeing that one, too.
Scribbles From Jenn - Visiting from the A to Z Challenge
It has been fun, but I am definitely ready for a break and some Avengers :) Congrats on finishing the A to Z, you've been a great co-host!
ReplyDeleteWow if Sean Connery was in it and I've never heard of it it must be bad.
ReplyDeleteRob Zombie is from my home town and the town sign even says so.
Congratulations on completing the challenge.
Reedsy sounds like a very helpful site. I haven't seen any of the movies, though it would be fun to see Sean Connery in the worst costume ever! Thanks for being such a phenomenal A to Z co-host, Alex! You really know how to make everyone feel special, and I can't thank you enough! Hope you get some much needed rest this weekend.
ReplyDeleteJulie
Congrats on posting each day.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a great month, and you have completed another full and successful A to Z. Congrats on surviving the challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the A to Z challenge!
ReplyDeleteI remember renting Zardoz, but I must have suppressed the memory of actually watching it. And that's saying a lot, because I still remember Highlander 2.
ReplyDeleteI'll be taking some zzzz's with Millie and Willie. I'll bet you're exhausted, too! Good work. I ordered your book for my son for his birthday.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing the challenge!
ReplyDeleteLaughed out loud at your comment on San Andreas. ;-)
Zombies are spooky. I don't much care for them. The challenge has been fun. Now I'm ready for a nap.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing A to Z.
Thanks, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteKAT, that's really cool.
Thanks, Julie. I did my best.
Andrew, this was far worse...
Mary, thank you! I appreciate that.
Misha, I aim to amuse.
The post I had in mind for the May IWSG was repurposed and scheduled for another date, since the issue it addresses actually turned out to be anything but a challenge and something I felt insecure about. I'll be using the post I'd originally intended for April.
ReplyDeleteThanks for co-hosting the Challenge! It was a lot of hard work for everyone involved.
I think I'd watch that movie just to laugh at Sean Connery's outfit.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing, Alex. Time for a break, right?

The Challenge was a lot of work, this year more so than others, so I'm relieved it's over.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll also really miss all the engagement, and all the great people I met. I hope we can stay in touch after this month.
And pecs will jiggle, I'm laughing now. I loved the bizarre-ness of Zardoz, mainly because of it being the first film he could choose to be in without someone telling him he couldn't! He was so controlled in the beginning of his career, and this was made after he was a "name" and could do whatever he wanted, and he wanted to do this, silly, crazy freaky movie! Loved that. Thanks for coming by my blog Ninja Captain. So nice to have you so often! See you during reflections and IWSG, I'm sure! Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
ReplyDeleteJ here, stopping by from the #atozchallenge - where I am part of Arlee's A to Z Ambassador Team.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to "Z-day"!
Don't forget about the after party. The Reflections Linky List will open on Monday May 4th. (For links directly to posts, not to general blog addresses.)
Hooray for Rob Zombie. San Andres looks like it will be a great film. Avengers movie- great A to Z award!
-J @JLenniDorner
Don't like Zombies. I'll miss having new paintings every day, but will be glad not to have the pressure! Congrats for completing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning Good Book Alert. I feel great about the end of A to Z since I made it this time. This may have improved my ability to blog.
ReplyDeleteI will have to read The Zap Gun...someday.
You'll be more than ready for a break. Congrats on rocking the Challenge!
ReplyDeleteSan Andreas looks somewhat promising. Congrats on making it to the end of another Challenge. :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alex, we reached the end, and it is a wonderful end with Rob Zombie and the great Philip K. Dick!
ReplyDeleteAll of your cult classics today are new to me so thanks for that. Thanks for the introduction of many cult classics that I am going to enjoy exploring. Thanks for all your support over the course of the Challenge. You're a great co-host Alex.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Michele at Angels Bark
Carrie-Anne, a lot of work.
ReplyDeletePatricia, definitely time for a break!
JH, I know we will.
Lisa, glad I made you laugh. And I visited every chance I could.
J Lenni, know all about it.
Cindy, you're welcome.
Leovi, and this what now - five Challenges for us?
Zardoz was such a bizarre movie
ReplyDeleteI don't get Zardoz. It's like watching a movie in a completely different language. Things are happening, but I have no idea what's going on.
ReplyDeleteHow I feel about the challenge: I can breathe!!!! ;) But it will be sad because there is a brotherhood in it! We've forged new friendships and rekindled old.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the Reflections post?

I'm a Rob Zombie fan. Enjoy your Friday off. You've definitely earned it!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I saw Zardoz back in the day, but it wasn't memorable enough for me to remember much of it. Congratulations on completing another A-Z Challenge.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, kinda glad to see the back end of April...
ReplyDeleteI'm watching Avengers tomorrow too. Curious what you'll think.
ReplyDeleteRob Zombie is a trip. That is my kind of music for getting some stuff done, quick!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all of this great stuff during the challenge!

Well you made it through another year. Congratulations! I didn't make it by for every post, but I did manage to hit some of the highlights. Still appreciate you shouting me out on your 'F' post, it is quite an honor being one of your 'Cult Classics'.
ReplyDeleteNow as for today's post - ah Zardoz, unfotunately I know it well! I was first forced to endure this one at a small 'Art' Theater in Aspen, CO. You know, come to think of it this could be a great example for your upcoming, Boobs, Blood and Carnage Hop. /who could ever forget the memorable and oft quoted line 'The penis is evil, the gun is good.' Think on that one for awhile.
Also, tomorrow is Battle of the Bands, since you'll be suffering A to Z 'let down' and have nothing to do, why not join us?
Another great year off to the happy hunting ground of the A to Z thingy!
Ooh, ooh, may have to see San Andreas.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteSean Connery in the worst outfit ever
Zadoz, did not see it before. May take a relook. Had registered with Reedsy. It may help later!
Hank
I don't know about Zardoc, but I've definitely suffered through the Challenge... my poor brain has no clue what's going on!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day off... I'm taking at least 10 days.
I may never be back!!
We made it to z!!!! (And shared the same ending word!) Never seen the movie and don't own the album though I'm familiar with both the hit songs from it.
ReplyDeleteWay behind on visiting PK, planning to reflect and all signed up for the B,B & C!
Yay!
I've seen pictures of Sean Connery in that godawful Zardoz costume, hence I've never been able to watch the movie.
ReplyDeleteLove the "pecs will jiggle" comment.
Another year comes to an end. Well for almost everyone. I am a blog post or two behind. I will be all caught up by tomorrow. I already follow PK and love her blog. I am also a huge fan of Janice Hardy so I will head over now and read your interview. Sorry I missed it, but every free moment i've had has been devoted to this challenge. As alway, I've made tons of new friends and found many new blogs to visit after the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI'm not too familiar with all the Z's, except for Rob Zombie. Yay for finishing the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI need to think of an IWSG post.
I got nothing with the Z's - good thing they are at the end ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll be seeing Avengers tomorrow night, too!!
THANK YOU!
You can find me here:
ClarabelleRant
You have such great links in each post, Alex! I've got a dozen tabs open now...
ReplyDeleteThat was a GREAT article over at Fiction University.
ReplyDeletePK is my sistah from anothah mistah!
Well I was wrong - expected a music Z that was either Led Zeppelin OR ZZ Top, but then my taste is weird.
ReplyDeleteEven seen Zardoz a few times as Boorman has buried some weird but crafty bits in there... like the name Zardoz, the flying head, and all that Oz thread. Reminds me of other Brit psychedelic films. But Connery's costume was nappy ridiculous.
Happy to have completed the challenge, though am not familiar with the film and book, but I do know Zeal :) Catching up a day late, but it's still 30th at your end hopefully :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting and visiting and the support, truly valued!
Congratulations on another successful challenge!
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I quite liked Zardoz, haven't seen it in years, so I'd probably change my mind if I saw it again?????
ReplyDeleteExcellent job getting through the A-Z challenge! I'm impressed you came up with something related to your book for each letter.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job getting through the A-Z challenge! I'm impressed you came up with something related to your book for each letter.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the A-Z challenge and Zardoz is beyond bizarre. Even the director admitted he didn't know what he was doing. LOL Cult movies was a great theme and I learned about a lot of books I need to read.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You did it! You conquered the A-Z challenge. Enjoy the short break. I hope you enjoy your movie and get to spend some time with your family.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to everyone! The A to Z posts may be over, but I'll be spending the summer following up on all of the cool blogs that I found.
ReplyDeleteCan't talk. Gotta go see "The Avengers"......
ReplyDeleteOnly taking one day for yourself? Brave, lol. I remember Zardoz - kinda watched at it. Everyone has a dud here and there. Yes, I'm a Rob Zombie fan, and Hillbillie Deluxe is probably my favorite album done by him. The blogfest will be super exciting.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend Alex. Congrats on surviving this months. I already have my IWSG post scheduled :)
Not a big fan of Rob Zombie but I do like the song and video for Living Dead girl.
ReplyDeleteAnd i need to leave before the image of Sean Connory from Zadoz ... ugh,too late. I need to bleach my eyes now.
I don't know any of the Z's, but I have read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick. Thanks for the links! They look very useful. Congrats on surviving A to Z and your book release! Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteMichele, thanks!
ReplyDeleteJE, that's exactly what it feels like.
Elizabeth, anytime next Monday through Friday.
Ilima, I thought it was great!
Jeff, you said it.
Faraway, you are welcome. That just might be a good addition to the blogfest. And sorry, other than checking my email, I was completely offline yesterday.
Hank, glad you signed up!
Mark, you'll be back.
Beverly, awesome!
Helena, you were wise to skip. And glad I could amuse.
Melissa, no worries - glad you made new friends!
Deniz, thanks!
Roland, beyond ridiculous.
Nilanjana, thanks for visiting me!
Ray, there's a chance...
Maurice, maybe the director was on drugs.
Donna, I'm a Ninja - must stay tough.
Stephen, you'll be watching them for days...
Thanks everyone!!
I reckon Zardoz is probably a movie Sean wishes he could forget, and hopes nobody will ever hear about. ha.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the A to Z!! your posts were full of interesting things as usual.
Woohoo! Congrats on completing the A-Z!! And you've lead an army of followers, minions, and readers through a whole month of fun!
ReplyDeleteZardoz. I remember it. 'Nuff said.
Have a very restful weekend, Alex. :)
Oh Zombies, that's a good one Alex! I'm such a mythological nut I went with Zeus. hehehe It sure was fun, but it's over now I hope that doesn't stop you from popping over now and then, and maybe you could even follow me in my linky followers. I've been trying to get that number up like forever. When I switched over I lost all my followers. :( Anyway have a great weekend, and thank you once again for all your comments. I've subscribed to your email so I'll keep up with you. :) HUGS
ReplyDeleteFantastic job on the A-to-Z, my friend! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAlex congratulations on completing the challenge! It was a great pleasure!
ReplyDeleteHey Alex!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to subject myself to a bit of Rob Zombie music. That would be after I stopped listening to an Australian band named, Pendulum.
Well done on finishing the amazing, gosh darn fun, alphabet thingy. Oh, wait, here's to the next eleven months of your alphabet abyss reflection posts.
I shall be signing up for the Non-blogfest, blogfest.
All the best and enjoy the rest of the weekend, my illustrious friend.
Gary
I'd forgotten about Zardoz, wonder if Mr. Connery has. Which reminds me, haven't seen much of him lately. Can't imagine the movie world without him. Great job of the challenge, Alex. You blew it out of the water.
ReplyDeleteGreat and interesting post!
ReplyDeleteHope you and your wife are having a nice weekend, Alex.
ReplyDeleteHow did you like Avengers?
Hi Alex! Yes, I'm going to see San Andreas. Will it be great fun?
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday.
Kudos to all of you who did such an awesome job with the A-Z challenge!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Zardoz. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making it through another year of A-Z!
Lots of elements to your a-z posts, it must have taken forever to get them put together!
ReplyDeletePopping by on the A to Z Road Trip
