In Reply to: Barbarella ... posted by petew on January 02, 2002 at 07:18:27:
Barbarella!?!?! Another totally inane Roger Vadim magnum opus. He hasn't made a good film since his early days with Bridgit Bardot.In other words, Barbarella is to good science fiction what Valley of the Dolls is to good drama. The movie is pure trash.
That said, I have watched it many times and love it. A guily pleasure...wondering exactly how she killed that orgasmatron. I really feel the movie would have been even better if Fonda and Pallenberg were cast in the others' roles. Then Mick Jagger could have played the angel instead of the king of vapid, John Philip Law.
Follow Ups:
I know just what you mean...there's some weird stuff out there....like "City of Lost Children"
oh...and what about "Ice Pirates"?
really, you should try to find "Cherry 2000", a cult classic.
Yes to Cherry 2000, Death Race 2000, and Americathon....all cult classics and fun.No to Barb Wire and, maybe the worst sci-fi since this side of Plan 9 From Outer Space - The Red Planet Mars. It's so wooden and stupid that you might rather spend 4 hours with your drunken brother-in-law watching a slide show of his trip to the cheese factory than spend 75 minutes watching this crap.
My vote for the most overrated sci-fi flick is the Nicolas Roeg (sp) Invaders From Mars.
And I loved Mars Attacks. Silly but a fun spoof.
