I'm sure I've told this story before but I went to the 2005 Washington, DC charity premiere of Revenge of the Sith and sat right in front of Fisher and Reynolds. She was going to sign something for me but security stopped her. My wife caught a quick picture of them when security wasn't looking.

Carrie Fisher was on the panel for this year's 8 Out of 10 Cats Christmas special.https://youtu.be/5ioTCY4YFD0

she was really great, I have always been impressed by her performances in the original SW trilogy tbh. Only 20 and so confident and holding her own against that cast in a role that could have been completely moronic. I always thought her and Ford were the MVPs in that film for the levity and charisma they had, theirs were the kind of roles and performances missing in EP 1-3. And she was such a valuable cultural figure right til the end. I have a lot of admiration for her.

The only book of her I ever consumed was the audiobook of "Delusions of Grandma," which she naturally read and performed herself. I remember enjoying it, and her being droll as fuck.

TMZ are saying Debbie Reynolds has died now. Either they are lying horribly or they have a source, either way :(

TMZ maybe a scummy site 99.5% of the time, but they usually don't fuck around with deaths.

I saw a meme or something on fb about how Bowie created an alternate universe when he died and sincs then he has spent the year carefully curating it.

This year has sucked so hard that I forgot both Muhammed Ali and Merle Haggard had died.

Same. One of my friends just posted a list and I was like "Oh Shit, Arnold Palmer!"
I can't imagine any other year where the death of Arnold Palmer would be forgettable.

I was thinking so much about George Michael and "Father Figure" these past few days it only just occurred to me this morning that Prince Be of PM Dawn also died this year, and of course one of his last chart hits was "Looking Through Patient Eyes" which sampled said earlier song. That was my moment of weird surrealdom on this front.

For me it doesn't get weirder than two Jefferson Airplane originals dying on the same day (and that was before January had even ended)

It seems cosmically meaningful, especially wrt the "realignment" in american and european politics driven by the rise of the far right. It feels like we live in a different society this year than last year.

basically the entire "last famous person you were surprised etc." thread and all future RL conversations based on the premise get to have "shit dude, I figured he kicked it in 2016 like everybody else" as the punchline
