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.

*Gasping for air!* Say it isn't so!!!

It's true. I hadn't realized it until a couple of years ago, and now I'm afraid to break the streak. You never know--it could upset some kind of cosmic balance and the world could go haywire.

On second thought, maybe I should take one in.

Barbarella is worth watching at least for the scenes where she messes around with all the strange space men, like the angel guy, and breaks the Orgasmatron.

Maybe I've seen it too many times :-p

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. Beautifully shot by Claud Renoir."

Before your last sentence, I was going to suggest that you, "you really should watch Barbarella." But since that was covered, I should just smile and nod.

Barbarella is one of those good, "morning in a bar movies," that often shows up on the televisions in Molly's on Tolouse. In fact, that's the only place I have seen it - several times. Other favorites are Planet of the Apes marathons and any MST3000.

That's definitely an excuse to make a side trip to Molly's when I head south in December!
