Why would you take out a great remake like the Fly (86) and an MST3K type classic like the Mole Men to make a slot for Zardoz? The Wild Wild Planet looks good, but what is Vanishing Waves? The list was so cool last week, but now it's been gutted for more "premieres" nobody wants to see....
Bear in mind that THE FLY has played at a marathon before (SF11), whereas few among us ever believed we would get the chance to see ZARDOZ on the big screen. Some of us are actually looking forward to the change. I love THE FLY, but I've seen it enough times to almost be sick of it.
Unfortunately, I fear most of these will be BluRay/DVD. Depending on the washout that could seriously sap my enthusiasm. WILD WILD PLANET should look at a least as good as GREEN SLIME did last year, though, they came from the same source and similar masters.
INCEPTION, ZARDOZ, VANISHING WAVES, and SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED actually all share common themes. Even if by accident, there's a lot of similarity in what they're exploring. UPSTREAM COLOR would have fit the bunch nicely.
Of course, then everyone's head would probably have exploded.
