The sets and the costumes are unrivalled glossy high-budget schlock. Worryingly, you also start to believe that New Romantics Duran Duran somewhere had a sense of humour.tigtoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989643095255493683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16566466.post-1154156897134269542006-07-29T17:08:00.000+10:002006-07-29T17:08:00.000+10:00I bow my head in shame to admit this as a schlock ...I bow my head in shame to admit this as a schlock cinema aficionado, but I have never seen Barbarella. Why is she a skunk in the top photo? What can have gone so wrong in the future that she's a skunk?Matildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864272738244481954noreply@blogger.com
