Barbarella

"Roger Vadim's ultra-kitsch sci-fi classic somehow improves with age"

     —Dan Geary, Total Film

Slip out of your spacesuit and into something more comfortable! It's time to join Barbarella on a series of cosmic adventures in this Dino De Laurentiis production directed by Roger Vadim (And God Created Woman) and starring Jane Fonda as the intergalactic glamour puss created by comic book artist Jean-Claude Forest. It is the year 40,000AD. When evil scientist Durand Durand (Milo O'Shea) creates a deadly weapon with the potential to cause mass devastation, the President of Earth dispatches Barbarella (Fonda) to hunt him down. Crash-landing in an icy wilderness somewhere within the Tau Ceti planetary system, Barbarella is rescued by Mark Hand (Ugo Tognazzi, La Cage Aux Folles) and guided by the blind angel Pygar (John Phillip Law, Danger: Diabolik) to Durand's lair in Sogo, a city of corruption and debauchery, where an encounter with the Great Tyrant Black Queen (Anita Pallenberg, Performance) and her minions throws her mission into jeopardy. With an all-star cast including David Hemmings and Marcel Marceau, and glorious retro-futuristic costumes and art design dripping with 60s psychedelia, Barbarella defined an era and has never looked better than this brand new 4K restoration, loaded with never-before-seen bonus features!

About Last Night...

Hey Ho, Let's Go...
Moi & Traci Lords

What happens at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, never stays at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. That's because they want the publicity darlins' - and no they are not whores.

Last night my good friend Traci Lords put me on her guest list to attend the Johnny Ramone Tribute screening of Barbarella. Thus I went, when your friends beckon you go - girl/guy! 

A fun time was had by all...here are my photo impressions of and about last night...
Any Questions?
WTF?!
V.I.P.
Enter, No Risk

For some reason the words invalidate and impeach keep running through my head this week. I wonder why? Think about it, and if you have to think about it too much, I don't know you. It's time to face the music, or eat it, depending...

Life, it's better than Kindergarten, or perhaps not, the decision is yours

Damn you McDonald's two for five!!!

Revisited Pretty in Pink at a retro screening upon the roof of The Montalban Theater in Hollywood this week. They don't make em' like the used to "sigh"

Some of you are too young to remember this but The Blacklist star James Spader used to be hot

I am no longer the nip slip queen. I am now the perky princess - carry on...

Joavani, you whores!

Love me hate me, all the boys and some of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy
