So would it be cool to do a Peter Cushing on her for Episode VIII? Seems a bit soon given Cushing's been dead since the 90s.
That's impossible, even for a computer!uziq wrote:

It was but it was an aged down thing, not a brought-back-to-life thing.Dilbert_X wrote:

Like one of my mates said in a reply to a comment to a fairly nihilistic meme "Also, lots of the people we grew up enjoying the work of are gonna die. Cause they're at the age where addiction really catches up with you"uziq wrote:

a lot of people talking about recent celebrity deaths seem to confuse their famous characters or stage personas with their actual real lives.Jaekus wrote:

And it's literally the only thing she was known for. No one would give any flying fucks had she not had that 7hours of screen time.uziq wrote:

even with carrie fisher, who had an insanely publicised and publicly dissected alcoholism and drug addiction, they seem to think she's 'princess leia'.
it's like yeah ... your heroine in that wholesome movie was coked the fuck out the entire time. of course she's dead.
it's also gross seeing people literally saying shit like 'may the force be with her' because she's dead. a person died. she was that character for about 7 hours of fucking screen time.
Its been a complaint of mine for a while that the tabloids mix real news events, celebrity lifestyle and fictional soap opera into one big mess which mangles the minds of the readers.uziq wrote:

All these people that were at the heyday of cinema and music who have died this year (and other years, and next year, and beyond) have died largely from excess, mainly being drugs and/or alcohol. It catches up with you. Which I'm telling myself a lot lately (and have been drinking a lot over the past decade or so).uziq wrote:

Don't let the Trade Federation hear about that or it'll get held up in committee for another 12 parsecs.uziq wrote:
i think star wars fans are particularly susceptible to existing in some cheesy-kitsch manichean world of goodies and baddies and happy endings.
Only five days a week? Imagine all the coke and alcohol for decades on end. No wonder their heart packs it in.uziq wrote:
i think we can safely presume that us mere non-showbiz mortals do not engage in the same level of excess and sybaritism as rockstars and hollywood actors. i picture boogie nights or something. the coke was much purer and was basically a 5-day-a-week thing then.
on the other hand you do get some rockstars who manage to successfully convert all of their internals into a drug processing facility and just go on in a sort of chemical-preserved immortality. people like keith richards are pickled and will live forever.

this sounds like a precious rant that you've been holding back from broadcasting for you to lord over your dumbshit friends on Facebook.
