I have never seen a James Bond movie. Maybe a few minutes here and there, but never more than that. I also have never watched more than a few minutes of Gone with the Wind, The Sound of Music, or Barbarella.

I should really watch Barbarella.

Whoa, there's an Orgasmatron in it? I thought that was in a Woody Allen flick. Guess it could be both. I know there was a Motorhead album called Orgasmatron, but that was way later. :)

There's this machine, and it's supposed to kill her, but she blows it up... and I say, good on her, no machine can steal her mojo, baby.

Oh, btw, you did know that is where "Duran Duran" got their name from, eh? That was the name of the mad doctor.

Maybe it wasn't called an Orgasmatron. But it was an orgasm machine that looked like somebody crossed a waterbed with an electric keyboard.

Here is the best "review" I could find of Barbarella...

"This started off as a trendy strip cartoon drawn by Jean-Claude Forest, a mixture of sf and erotica peculiarly French. Fonda, directed by her then-Svengali, Roger Vadim, turns it into a clever, beautifully designed piece of sci-fi camp set in the 40th century. Barbarella takes off for the planet Mongo but is forced down on Sythion, where she embarks upon a series of high-camp adventures, in most of which she loses part or all of her clothing, not to mention her virtue and her innocence, enjoying tantric sex with a blind angel (John Phllip Law), lesbian love with the evil Black Queen and something close to death by exhaustion through prolonged enclosure in the Orgasm Machine.
