I admit that, lately, it’s been hard for me to look at Carrie Fisher directly: there is something so severe about her recent cosmetic enhancements. I don’t know. I guess she looks good? I guess? Maybe it just needs to “relax,” kind of like how a haircut doesn’t look good for a week or two.
Anyway, it’s a relief to know that the old bat is still in there somewhere. And here she is now, picking on poor William Shatner for no good reason. (Actually, that isn’t entirely true—she’s actually responding directly to a smack-talk video Shatner made in September.)
Carrie Fisher, insulting both Star Trek and William Shatner:
“Maybe they’re just, they’re ‘effects.’ They’re not called special effects.”
“Where do they go to? Klingon? It just sounds like a laundry detergent.”
“I have the metal bikini. By the way, Bill has borrowed it.”
“And he’s had a kidney stone, right?—get this!—that he sold for 75 thousand dollars. Now keep in mind, this is an item that one would have… it comes out of the person’s… what. Well, penis, ultimately! Yes! And that, to me, has never been something erotic. ‘Oh, is that out of William Shatner’s penis? Did it finally come out? Oh, great!'”
“Not that this is a big deal, but our merchandising is so much better. And my space buns—they’re so much better than Nimoy’s ears.”
In a fight between Star Wars and Star Trek, who would win? Weigh in!
Star Trek. No doubt about it. They were first.
star wars. no question. more epic.
Even though I am completely making this up, I am convinced that Shatner and Fisher did loads of blow together in the late-70s/early-80s and this is part of a running joke between them. Robert Evans’ house, if I had to pick a venue.
Posture posture posture.
