New Barbarella Already Has Her Spaceship

Stop listening to those rumors that Robert Rodriguez's Barbarella remake is failing to achieve escape velocity. Rose McGowan, who's set to step into Jane Fonda's go-go boots, says the movie is much further along than you realize. Not only is she signed up, but a lot of the pre-production work is done, including the costumes and a lot of the sets — including part of Barbarella's spaceship. "I've got part of a spaceship built for me!" she exults. (Dear readers: please send us pics of those sets. Thanks.) The only wrinkle: Barbarella wouldn't be able to finish shooting by June, when the actors' strike is supposed to start. Image by Z. Tomaszewski/WENN. [MTV Movies]

Pumping in Zero Gravity With the Best Sci Fi Sex Scenes

Science fiction doesn't just give us the best machines; it also gives the best sex as well. After all, if the future is full of anti-gravity lifts and teleportation, just think how far the porno industry will evolve. Scifi isn't just about human sex either: you can get it on with aliens, clones, and even machines. Star Trek's Data was a "fully functional" android, and gave some robo-lovin' to the frigid Tasha Yar (and the Borg queen!) from time to time. After the jump, our list of the best science fiction sex scenes to get you through hump day. More »

Must See: Barbarella

Must-see movies are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.

Title: Barbarella
Date: 1968

Vitals: Based on a smutty French comic book, this is the groovy tale of intergalactic fox Barbarella, who roams the universe in her fur-lined ship having adventures and getting it on with a panoply of alien dudes (and one church organ/sex machine). Barbarella not only helped rejuvenate science fiction as a genre after a decade-long dry spell, but also proved that the geeky world of spaceships and aliens could be sexy as hell.
