Barbarella

Nice ... although possibly a tad old

Hmmm should be interesting with the Excessive Machine

Halle Berry is set to take the lead role in a remake of sexy sixties film Barbarella.

The Catwoman star is seen as perfect for the role of the kitsch icon originally played by Jane Fonda, after Lindsay Lohan was originally tipped to play the part.

Would that be the orgasmatron?

"What kind of girl are you?"

Is it the orgasmatron though, or is that from Sleeper? I forget.

'You've turned them into faggots!'

Many reviewers and film buffs mistakenly refer to the Excessive Machine as an "Orgasmatron." For the record:

Sex machine in Woody Allen's "Sleeper" -- Orgasmatron
Sex machine in "Barbarella" -- Excessive Machine
Black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks -- SHAFT!

Thanks Troll.

I remember catching a bit of a film on TV several years ago where a spacecraft was powered by the crew standing in glass tubes having orgasms.

Anyone else seen this? I think it had "massacre" in the title but I can't find it.

I think Kelly Brook would have made a good Barbarella....

Barbarella: FFS!!!!! Why remake a classic that was ace to start off with? Same goes for The Italian Job, Get Carter, Mean Machine, etc.

I agree entirely.

However: The Italian Job wasn't strictly a remake, more of a sequal/homage and I didnt think it was THAT bad.
Mean machine with Vinnie was an excellent brit flick laugh.

Because the suits in Hollywood have no imagination?

I think you have a superflous "?" in that sentence ZG.
