Jane Fonda’s performance perfectly balances innocence and sexuality, while the striking cinematography, creative costumes, and bold sexual themes create memorable eye candy. However, the weak script and ridiculous plot serve mainly as vehicles for visual spectacle. Some found the low-budget production design charmingly gaudy, while others considered it cheap-looking. The film’s entertainment value depends on embracing its silly, over-the-top nature rather than taking it seriously. I see a lot of similarities to the trump administration in that description.

Having watched _Barberella_ decades ago I can say it’s vastly more entertaining and vastly more attractive than the current criminal regime or indeed any of trump’s works or associates over his lifetime. ---

Heh. Well, I can say that I watched David Lynch’s _Eraserhead_ for the first time like 20 years ago and that film is far more pleasant to experience and makes far more logical sense than anything coming out of the Trump regime. ---

There are reports, when trump reemerged on a video podcast after being out of the public eye for several days, that his right eye appeared swollen. I personally can’t tell since his face always looks pretty swollen and puffy as far as I can tell. > **[Trump Sports Swollen Eye Days After Surprise Medical Checkup](https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-sports-swollen-eye-days-144551356.html)** > > The president’s eye and hand were visibly swollen as he continues to dodge questions about his health. ---

I don’t think the report that Trump was “out of the public eye” is even accurate. He had a cabinet meeting on the 27th and a situation room meeting on the 29th. There were photos of him golfing on May 30, and more photos of him returning to the White House on the 31st. He had a phone interview on June 1 with ABC, and a podcast interview on the 2nd. The only day where he was “out of the public eye”, in that nobody really saw him or has any reliable info about what he was doing, was on the 28th. That’s a far cry from him mysteriously disappearing for a week. ---

Many may be aware that NBC’s Kristen Welker interviewed Donald in Wisconsin for today’s _Meet the Press_ show. It did not go well. But put aside for the moment the screaming toddler fit Donald pitched when Welker brought up the ‘no evidence has been presented’ problems with Donald’s ‘rigged election’ claims----and look at what happens when he TRIES to “storm out.” He can barely get up from the chair—and has to put his hand out (and apparently ON Welker) to keep his balance. Then he can’t straighten up. He sort of slowly, painfully scuttles out of the camera shot.
