Barbarella

[Torgo]

I just thought I add that the scriptwriters for the most recent "Casino Royale" are working on a script for a remake of "Barbarella." To be out sometime next year.

I had heard that Robert Rodriguez was involved in directing the remake of Barbarella.

My friend insisted I watch this movie, and as terrible as it was it was entertaining. The director wanted to make a sexy movie, but forgot that most people are not turned on by giant pianos. I think the last line of the film made it for me, combining plot holes, deus ex machina, hippiness, and a Broadway-style musical cue without the Broadway-style musical quality.

The guy who played pygar is john philip law who is recongnizable  to you mst3k fans as  diabolik and kalagan from space mutiny the first was a semi good movie the next was a cheesey mess.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most colourful movies ever.
There is an entire generation of men (now middle-aged) for whom the names "Jane Fonda" and "Barbarella" are synonymous, despite the fact that she has spent the rest of her career trying to live it down.

My estimate of budget allocations:
Ms Fonda's wardrobe/makeup : 40%
Everyone else's wardrobe : 30%
Sets : 20%
Special effects : 8%
Scripts, music and extras : 1.8%
Everything else that goes into making a film : 0.2%

Verdict : I still love this film, just for its total lack of any serious content.

Frankly I can't stand Jane Fonda, but she's smokin' hot in this film and therefore I have it.

I've been thinking about renting this movie my entire life, sitting there next to all the other sci-fi movies rather than in the comedy section where it belongs.

I'm glad I waited till I was a young adult, because as much as I stressed my mother with my movie tastes, this one might have broken her. Who could explain to a child, even a teenager, that this movie was not just a product of someone's mind, but of the times they lived in?

I reject nostalgia, but Barbarella makes me envy those who saw it in its time, no matter how stoned or disgusted they were.

It must be seen and must be seen to be believed, if even then.

Is this a movie review site, or a political site?  Come on people!  How long are you going to dwell on Jane Fonda's self-admitted mistake in the 1960's?  Comment after comment after comment . . . . . geeze!  Get a life.

This is a movie review site.  I count 5 out of 67 comments that mention what went on with Jane Fonda and her trip to North Vietnam.  They are pretty evenly spread out.  Did I miss quite a few, or are you making a mountain out of a molehill?

The character's name is actually Durand Durand.  lol
