Zero people here have said this.


First correct thing you've said maybe ever.

It looks like her mom Debbie Reynolds has suffered a stroke and is being rushed to the hospital.

Debbie dying just one single day after her famous daughter is a very surreal final twist to the idea of 2016 being a particularly grim, lethal year for celebrities. Eerie, even.

Oh debbie. This is horrible times. I wish carries daughter all the strength to get through this time.

Regarding debbie Reynolds I discovered her in the film Mother and was a fan ever since. She'll be missed as well.

Dito. It says a lot about it that I knew most of the lyrics for years after watching the film only once.

Fate has a cruel sense of humor this week. Kills singer on Christmas Day granting his "Last Christmas" and then kills both mother and daughter a day apart from each other. Bono better be careful on New Years Day :(

Quote:
The first Leia Organa that I knew and loved was a princess, although she wasn’t like any of the other princesses I’d seen in movies. She was smart and funny and loud and strong, and she had a true gift for getting in savage digs against anybody who looked at her crosswise. She didn’t need rescuing, and she had cool hair. For 9-year-old Anne, that Leia was basically perfect.

...

She has done this over and over: swallowed her grief, returned to the work. At this point she has eaten decades of grief. This is a Leia who has lost almost every important person in her life...

...

Leia could have run away too. It would have been both easy and forgivable. Instead, she did what so many women have done throughout history: she held it together. She kept going.

...

We have Carrie Fisher to thank for that, for bringing something to Leia that was deeper and more resonant than superficial specialness or charm. Leia was written as an empty vessel, and Fisher poured herself inside: her own pain, her own quiet struggle, her own resolve. With Fisher animating her, the princess who was supposed to be an object of romance became instead an engine of revolt. Leia is in it for the long haul. She fights and fights and fights, even when her family quits on her and the odds seem impossible. For Leia, doing whatever she can to bring down the fascist Empire is more important than her feelings or personal life. Without her steadfast presence, the rebellion would have been quashed long before Rey was born.

...

Princess Leia was wonderful, but General Organa is the one I’m looking to these days for guidance. As 2016 draws to a close, it’s hard not to give in to a numb sort of nihilism. As the future grows darker and more uncertain, it’s easy to believe that our individual actions are worth nothing compared to humanity’s obvious and urgent desire for self-destruction. Like Luke, I’m sure we all feel the temptation to run away somewhere where no one can find us and nothing bad can reach us; since our leaders seem so intent on blowing us all up, we may as well go somewhere picturesque to live out our last days. It’s also tempting to hope that the Chosen One is out there somewhere, ready to swoop in and fix everything. Both of those options absolve us of having to take any action. But it’s in times like this that the steady, stubborn fighters are needed, the ones who have seen the Chosen One come and go and still refuse to give up. The ones who don’t back down even when everything seems impossible. The ones determined to believe that there is a future in spite of the evidence to the contrary. The ones who would rather die for what they believe in than live to be complicit in a fascist regime.

...


http://www.theestablishment.co/2016/12/ ... right-now/

How many female roles have there been like that one? Lucas never had the balls to folllow up on the cryptic dialogue in ESB.

Quote:
Yoda: Told you I did. Reckless is he. Now, matters are worse.
Obi-Wan: That boy is our last hope.
Yoda: No. There is another.


Leia was always the ONE.

This twist was the worst. I can't wait for 2016 to get over. Seems like it has become more grim as it nears its end.

It is pretty crazy. I wonder if Carrie's death instigated Debbie's. Sometimes all that's keeping people from the next life is the will to live. When that goes, a person's demise can be rapid.

She was the main actress in Singin' in the Rain. I admit I didn't really know her before this week either, but she was a major star in her time with lots of lead roles - easily a bigger acting career than Carrie's
