I fucking love Carrie Fisher

[effervescible]

George Lucas's AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony is on right now and it's pretty funny. The best bits of Carrie's speech:

"That new girl, who plays my mother, Queen Amadillo or whatever she is...I bet she got to wear a bra even though I couldn't because you told me there was no underwear in space!"

"And in conclusion, your honor, I hope I slept with you to get the job. Because if not...who the hell was that guy?"

I love her. And we have the same birthday! Clearly we are soul twins!

I, too, have mad love for the Carrie Fisher-age. Such a wonderfully snarky lady.

I need to catch that on rerun. My roommate turned on a 1982 Richard Pryor comedy special. Jesus motherfucking christ, that's some good shit.

Also, may I say, yay whiskey sours!

She's cracked jokes like that before - in her cameo in SCREAM 3, when she plays a Carrie Fisher lookalike, she says, "I was up for Princess Leia. I was this close. So who gets it? The one who sleeps with George Lucas."

She also cracked me up in the making-of documentary in the STAR WARS: ORIGINAL FLAVOR DVDs, re. the merchandising. She said something like, "We all signed away everything. Every time I look in the mirror I have to give George five bucks."
