That's the ninth star wars film down the u-bend then.
They've already killed off Han-Solo. |

1-3 were the result of poor decisions of accountants moon-lighting as script writers, as was 6 (Ewoks puhlease)
Jedi is a much loved film, it's usually just the Star Wars tourists who dismiss it. Nothing wrong the Ewoks, they may have been small and cuddly but they were also mean hunters and human eating psychos (though I won't deny Wookiees would have been even better) Quote:
7 was a repeat of 4 down to the killing of the most expensive actor
TFA was intentionally filled with familiar beats / story because it had the burden of trying to re-establish the entire brand of the franchise. It needed to feel like the OT, so it therefore uses the OT template. And that's just fine, because Star Wars has always been a remix of the familiar.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's adopted son has just died in a motoring accident as well.

Some nice tributes to Carrie here- I admit I've had a bit to drink, but some of these brought tears. |

Sad news:

Imagine poor Billie - she has lost both her mother and grandmother in just over one day.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6609666/?ref_=tt_cl_t5 She is by far my favourite character in 'Scream Queens' and until yesterday I never even knew she was Carrie's daughter.

I guess losing Carrie was too much for her.

Unbelievably sad.
Two cinematic icons - mother and daughter - gone within a day of each other. This year has really, really taken the biscuit.

That poor family. Two within barely twenty-four hours of each other. Even some of the most hardened 'celebrity curse 2016' cynics must be thinking that maybe there is something a bit unusual going on here. There's been one just about every day this last week, and with a 'celebrity' mother and daughter in quick succession now too. It's definitely not been a typical turn of events. RIP

Her voice was terrific and she had such charisma. So very sad. ETA: Sorry Keyser, I mis-read your post completely, ignore the first part of my post! |
