Well over here is OZ they are showing a new show called “On the Lot”.
After most of the movies these peope show, Carrie goes, “I don’t get it”.
Has no one ever told her she is dumb?
Ok so she was a star is a movie that came out 50 years ago and obviously after some work. Well this isn’t it.
Carrie, do us a favour, Shut up.
Not that I really care, but… Carrie Fischer is a well-established Hollywood script fixer. That is, she’s asked by producers to fix scripts that are somehow flawed or not working. It’s basically what she’s been doing in the industry for the last 20 years and she must be good at it since there aren’t a lot of those jobs going around. Her saying she doesn’t get it is probably decent criticism. Then again, it’s Hollywood, and most of it is crap from start to finish.
She’s also a successful novelist.
when someone says “I don’t get it”
that usually means they think the movie (or book whatever) sucks
it does not mean they didn’t understand it.
“I don’t get it” is another way of saying “I just can’t feel that joint, yo. Know what I’m sayin’?”
I saw her speak at a dinner a few years ago in San Francisco. She was the warm up act for George Lucas who was being honored for something or other and talked at length about making Star Wars and Hollywood in general. Dumb is definitely not a word I’d use to describe her. She was sharp, quick witted, insightful and absolutely frickin hilarious.
She’s a very opinionated person and has had a lot of personal challenges in her life, but she’s no dummy. You might not agree with her all the time but she always has something intelligent or entertaining to say.
I’m assuming you meant that for the originator of the thread. I wouldn’t describe her as dumb either.
And boy did she look hot in that outfit in the Jabba the Hut scene.
you assume correctly
.
I am not saying she is dumb but in the show she comes across dumb.
“Has no one ever told her she is dumb?

Yeah, how could anyone possibly confuse the above statement with a personal criticism ;).
Last I checked, Star Wars debuted in 1977. That’s not 50 years ago…
i don’t find her comments that riveting; but honestly, most of those films suck. i know there is no budget, etc, but damn it’s painful. the entire thing has nearly inspired me to buy a camera, video tape my friends, and label myself a director.
I totally agree. That insipidly stupid 3 minutes last night about a guy tending his orchard, labeled a “horror” film from the tree’s perspective was an absolute piece of shit. And the gal director got real defensive when the 3 judges said so.

I understand. Kind of like how in this thread you come across dumb.
Don’t be so bitter jabba, just because she strangled you and looked good in a bikini.
OUCH.
You wife still sleeping with your brother?
