Rodriguez Directing Barbarella, Me Masturbating to Barbarella

Yeah, I'll masturbate to that.
In two strangely related stories, Variety reports that Robert Rodriguez will be directing Universal's remake of the sci-fi kitsch classic, Barbarella, while at the same time I've announced, largely through a prior record of doing so, that I'll be masturbating to the sci-fi kitsch classic, Barbarella. Rodriguez said:
I love this iconic character and all that she represents, and I'm truly excited by the challenge of inviting a new audience into her universe.
I said:
I'm going to be in my room for a couple hours, intermittently masturbating to Barbarella.
After playing with camp elements in this year's Planet Terror, it remains unclear if Rodriguez will try for a similar aesthetic using the B-movie feel of the original or if this will be a more dramatic take on the material, but one thing is certain: I'll be masturbating to Barbarella.
