Carrie Fisher
Well, we knew
this one was going to happen. Yet, I found myself really sad by her
passing. This hit me pretty hard, because I really respected Fisher
for her honesty. Fisher was the First Lady of nerd/geek culture.
For many male geeks (and some female ones) she was their first love.
I never found sexy in that way, but I admired her acting in the
original trilogy of Star Wars movies.
She was also in
one of my favorite comedies of all times...The Blues Brothers. She
has one of my favorite scenes in the movie.
Not only was she
an actress, but also a good writer. (Postcards
from the Edge)Carrie Fisher was a script doctor for many
years. Being a script doctor means you help touch up scripts that
need help, but don't receive the credit for these rewrites and fix
ups. She did this for many years. People never knew that she worked
on the Star Wars Prequels.
From Wiki,
((She did uncredited polishes on movies in a 15-year stretch from
1991 to 2005.[34]
She was hired by George Lucas to polish scripts for his 1992 TV
series The
Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and the dialogue for the Star
Wars prequel scripts.[34]
Her expertise in this area was the reason she was chosen as one of
the interviewers for the screenwriting documentary Dreams
on Spec in 2007. In an interview in 2004, Fisher said that she no
longer did much script doctoring ))
She
also worked on scripts such as The Wedding Singer and The Last Action
Hero.
We have to
address that George Michael and Carrie Fisher were both heavy drug
users and lived life very fast. This sort of lifestyle WILL catch up
to you. And, they both died of heart issues probably stemming from
the heard lifestyles they had on drugs. I have a family member right
now that is a raging drug abuser and alcoholic. His drug use is
being fueled by government money he receives, so he is burning the
candle on both ends. I know that it will be a matter of years, if
not months before he hear about him dying.
It is a shame
that her demons got the best of her, because she was a true talent.
We lost a relented person yet again this 2016. Yes, 2016 sucks.
-She played a
nun in two movies back to back Jay
and Silent Bob Strike Back and Charlie's
Angels: Full Throttle .
-She has that
funny line about Lucas is Scream 3: It was probably the best thing
about that movie other than the house exploding.
-She will be in
Star
Wars: Episode VIII : Not sure how they're going to handle
her death. She is the leader of the Resistance. Plus, there will be
issues with her when they do re-shoots.
-Rogue One:
Yes, a CGI Leia (Episode IV era) makes an appearance. I will have to
see it a second time to see how people react to it now that she is
dead.
I wanted to
share this Tweet by George Takei. ((May her soul rest in eternal
peace, as we return her to the heavens, in a galaxy far, far away. ))
From one Star franchise to another.
