Barbarella

Caught this one on the big screen today

Man, I don't even know where to start

It was pure nonsense. Honestly, it got stupider by the minute. I kept wanting to just get up and walk out, but something kept me glued to the seat—which probably means it was at least some high-quality garbage. Or, if I’m being fair, semi-quality garbage.

Still, I'm glad I sat through it because I can point to three things that actually worked:
1. One of the most gorgeous opening sequences I've ever laid eyes on.
2. That crazy Dillinger guy became an instant favorite of mine. He is absolutely unhinged.
3. Some of the best dialogue in cinema history:
(The Queen of the Night—or whatever that villainess is called—wants to hook up with this handsome angel)
Queen of the Night: I want to make love to you.
Blind Angel: But an angel doesn't make love. An angel *is* love.
Queen of the Night: So, you're sterile then.

I mean, I'm stumped. Is this Sci-Fi? Adult Entertainment? A comedy? A parody? Just some weird Space Odyssey filled with nothing but travel and hookups? Who knows.

I have to say, the color palette and the whole vibe kept reminding me of "Satire," which also left me totally speechless.

First one I saw from Fellini was "Satire," first one from Vader was "Barbarella"
And apparently, I'm a bit of a film critic myself...

Alright, let's hear what you guys think.

If I remember correctly, the main selling point of that movie was how incredible the J. Fund looked. It really was the star of the show.

Nicole Lopez38 said:If I recall correctly, the main draw of this movie was just how incredible the lead from J. Fund looked... definitely its biggest selling point.

Facts. The plot is absolute garbage, sure, but let's be real—the leading lady is the whole reason people are having late-night fantasies about this one.

wearytinker8 said:True. The movie's total trash, but the lead actress definitely gives everyone a few late-night cravings.

Her and Bosty Derek in Ten. 😍

That movie looks absolutely stunning visually, but honestly? I doubt it actually makes any sense 😍
I'm just so bummed I didn't get a chance to catch it in theaters while it was playing 😢

I caught him on some American talk show a few months back. Word is there’s a remake in the works—and apparently, Lindsay Lohan might snag the lead role!

Vadim was actually going to do the remake, but they scrapped that idea

Now everyone’s buzzing about the Rodriguez version, and word on the street is that Rosa Parks is basically locked in for the lead role

Rosa Parks... hm, seems fishy to me. They're working together—they just want to force her into Sin City 2. It's not a coincidence...

I think that movie is absolutely fantastic! 😳

Barbarella 😍

She’s basically just a remake of her old
flick—I honestly have no clue if it's any good since I haven't seen 🤷

Here we go again, another one of Vadim's masterpieces, "And God Created Woman".
He really had an eye for picking the leads, didn't he?

mmm
