Carrie Fisher Dies at Age 60

Live long and prosper.

Carrie Fisher, the actress best known for her roles as Princess Starbuck on Starbuck Rogers and Dr. Areola on Star Trek: The Erotic Journeys, has passed across the 8th Dimension and to the final frontier at age 60.

elf whistelblower Karen Mirkwood in "Mirkwood"

Famous for her catchphrase, "Let's go fuck injustice up!," Fisher was known for her young-in-life rebellions and scandals, including her May-December romance with Lorne Greene, and playing Andromedan Whore #6, causing an uproar and national boycott due to her participation in Captain Kirk's first and only non-interspecies kiss.

After her career in acting slowed, Fisher turned her attention to writing, where she turned in famous-but-officially-uncredited "punch ups" to scripts and books, such as Predator 3: Predators In Paradise and "The Bible."

Considered Hollywood Royalty since her birth, Carrie Fisher was famously the daughter of Joey Buttafuoco and Amy Fisher.

At age 22, Carrie Fisher became the subject of tabloid fodder yet again when she was kidnapped by the radical organization Cylon Liberation Army. After her rescue by the elite federal police unit called "The Sandmen," Fisher was "deprogrammed" for six months by so-called "psychoanalyst to the stars" Frank Stallone.

Her memoir from this era, titled Help! Frank Stallone Is Sexually Abusing Me! He's Worse Than the Kidnappers! Please, I'm Serious, Call the Police!, was later adapted by Nora Ephron into the movie Precious Based Upon the Novel "Push" by Sapphire.

Fisher's "Wedge-Head" haircut in Battle Beyond the Stars became so iconic it was adopted by the Green Bay Packers as a kitchy cheese hat.

Of course, it was Fisher's role in the science-fiction phenomenon Space Fags With Power-Swords that made her the most famous. A budding writer even at that time, Fisher helped adapt writer-director George Plimpton's technobabble dialogue into something more human and relatable, giving the franchise some of its most beloved lines, such as "Fuck this guy and these other guys he's with" and "Fuck this stupid robot" and "I've got a bad feeling about this, let's all do a bump of coke and get all up inside each other."

Fisher spoke bravely and honestly about her lifelong addiction to gay "slash" fan-fic in her memoir That's No Moon.

Fisher leaves behind her abuser/husband Frank Stallone and their children, Kanye and Kim Kardashian as well as their dog, who they named "Indiana" after Melvin the Android in Space Fags with Power-Swords.

A devoted bigamist, Fisher also leaves behind husbands Bruce Boxleitner and Barry Bostwick, whom she, like almost everyone else, incorrectly believed were the same person.

Her hobbies included cruelty to animals and Staying Woke.

33 According to Lucas there is no underwear in space.

His argument was that "you go into space, your body expands but your bra doesn't, so you get strangled by your underwear"

Which has some scientific plausibility, but only applies in vacuum, which plainly she wasn't in. It was just hotter to have those yobs wobbling around in that dress, and Lucas knew he had a hot property in young Carrie.

237 >>>Anyone who throws a fit over this is someone who loved Carrie Fisher's pictures but didn't know a thing about the woman herself.

yeah let me point out a couple of things:

1. This is mostly silly nonsense, not making fun of Fisher, but Sci-Fi geeks. Like winding them up by deliberately getting all of the lore wrong.

2. Fisher was a funny woman who wrote about all her addictions and affairs. This isn't "outing" anything about her. She was herself famously snarky and loved being edgy and cynical.

241 140 Before anyone facepalms with "TOO SOON", she'd probably have peed herself laughing over this.

Exactly. This is the woman who wrote that (referencing Lucas's bra strangling you explanation) that she wanted that to be her obituary: strangled to death by her own bra. She was not a sentimental softie, she was satirical, self-mocking, and loved life. She'd have fit in here very well as an 'ette

251 While I understand that this website invests heavily in snark, this is pretty tasteless, Ace.
=======================
It might be, if that was the point of it, but its not. None of the text is meant literally. Which is why its all false, but the point is true.

Which is why I said earlier not just anybody can't make the point that basically everthing is popular culture is glued together garbage, by writing an obituary.

Which concept offends you more:
That Carrie Fisher was satirically alleged the love child of joey buttafucco or that her life's work and everyone else in the "industry" was basically fleecing rubes, and treating her death as a national tragedy is more glued together garbage?

I am not saying writing mean obituaries is okay, but this is only mean if you think any of it is real.

Its like a modest proposal.

And as a brown-eyed, brunette tomboy, I was indebted to that character. "Finally, FINALLY! a non-blonde princess!" my 14-year-old self rejoiced the day the movie came out.

You're right about one thing: she'd have laughed her ass off at the Ace obit.

My sympathies.

I liked Star Wars, but I feel worse for people like Cavil or other 'rons and 'ettes going through hard times and suffering losses than I do about celeb deaths.

Debbie Reynolds is going to have a zillion people offering her condolences and the MSM going on about the Greatness That Was Carrie Fisher for days. Other people suffer as much and few notice or care.

354 I met Lorne Greene when I was a kid in 1972 skiing at Alta, Utah. He was taking ski lessons. At the bottom of the run, starstruck I was, I asked for his autograph on my lift ticket. He growled at me like I was ruining his whole day. I was floored. I hated on him ever since and my friend and I kind of heckled him from above when riding the lift. If Carrie did Lorne, she must have been wasted or something because he was an asshole.

In the meantime, take comfort in knowing that you did everything you could to make his life better. You sacrificed so much of your time to take care of him, and I'm sure it meant the world to him. He's out of pain now, and you made sure he knew he was loved until the end.

Valid point. I am not into celeb worship, but the original franchise meant a lot to me for a variety of reasons, including the nerd ones but some personal ones wrt timing in my life when I saw them, etc. I also just had a birthday so I feel the tick of time a little more loudly with her death because I remember how young I was when I first saw them.

However, I strongly agree with what someone said earlier - I feel much more keenly the passing of BC's dad because it's personal, he's part of the moron family and it will affect him deeply.

525 Sometimes when someone you don't like dies, the correct response is to be quiet a few days about your feelings.

I can't think of a reason this post was called for.

527 I dunno. Death comes for us all. All a man can do is smile back. I'd rather people have some laughs when I die than sit around all mopey.

528 This is the funniest goddamn thing ever and I hope it makes SW nerds cry.

Not fans. I'm a fan. Just the nerds.

530 This silly post made me feel a lot better. Thank you Ace. I miss her too.

531 One of Ace's weirder attempts at humor I see.

I met her only once, in Berkeley after a performance of her one-woman show "Wishful Drinking" went off the rails (in a strangely good way). I spoke to her for two minutes (which was 2 minutes more than I expected).

Gracious and personable were the two words I would use to describe her. I will miss her.

532 Brilliant. Ace hath outdid himself.

(To sad and baffled ones, Fisher the person's death is of course sad for those who knew her. But fans and public don't know celebs so cannot love them. From their POV celebs are fantasy beings. And those celebrated for playing fantasy beings are doubly so.)

533 Wow! This is supposed to be funny? I guess we are going to expect a similar commentary when Ace passes on. What a great laugh riot that will be. How about a little common decency folks.

534 Ace, this was truly brilliant. I know there is a 'too soon' brigade, but this wasn't meant for the pope--this was for a person with a wicked sense of humor. I only hope that someone like your is around to write my obit.

535 195 I feel so bad. That's the last time I'll stand behind Carrie and yell "NARC!"

Holy fuckety fuck. That might have outsnarked the post. Well played.
