Metaphorically speaking, of course. Hey, remember back in September when WIlliam Shatner made the bold claim that Star Trek was better than Star Wars? Well, Carrie Fisher finally got around to making a rebuttal video in defense of her movies. I don't know that her argument is any more well thought-out than Shatner's (although it is fun to hear each franchise's stars echo arguments spouted off by obsessed nerds for decades) but Fisher does seem more like she just wants to give Shatner shit instead of really argue, which is fun. A little weird at some points, but overall fun.

Love the huge glass of hooch in front of her during the interview. Keep it classy Princess, I'm *sure* it's just cola.
Celebrity catfight! Please tell me when we get to Godwin. Or is only David Brin that serious about the Star Trek Wars?
Bad Star Wars is infinitely worse than bad Star Trek. I'd rather watch every episode of Voyager and at least be entertained most of the time, then see Episodes 1 - 3 again and wonder where it all went wrong.
Good Star Trek is infinitely better than good Star Wars. I'd rather see the amazing story line that makes up the final 4 years of Deep Space Nine any day then sit through Empire Strikes Back the re-re-remake with added NOOOOOO and new CG muppets, "and now, with 3d poop!"
She seems to have grown up 25 years in just five, since I recall seeing her on one of those reality talent show a few years back and she looked alot younger.
Also, her boobies got bigger, which I suppose happens when women have children. A double blessing methinks?
for me this comes down to empire strikes back vs deep space 9.
thats...thats a tough thing for a man to judge.
Haven't gotten a chance to take a look at the video yet as I'm heading out to lunch, but is she still off-her-meds-Crazy like she was for the Craig Ferguson show last year?
OMFG, what happened to Carrie Fisher? she looks like total shit and sounds like shes a bit off too. Wow, what a way for a childhood crush to get smashed into dust.
She was in an episode of Sex and the City, and caught a nasty case of Sarah Jessica Parker syndrome.
What if Carrie Fisher and William Shatner had a passionate argument face to face that ended up with them snogging and then having violent sex?
Would the child that was born finally bring balance to the warring factions?
No. Both factions would seek to indoctrinate the child. He would become a powerful ally. He would join us or die, lexusperplexus.
hilerious . espically love carrie taking jabs at the shatner maybe not being able to fit into the old captains uniform. plus love her joke about challenging shatner to a contest where she got back in the metal bikini and he in a caps uniform.plus the one other difference star trek learns to rest star wars never goes away. love the video
This petty, drunken and half-assed internet feud needs more crazy Tom Baker. I think he could take Shatner. Shatner is self-parody crazy, Tom Baker is CRAZY crazy.
It'd be worth it just to bring Troughton and Pertwee back from the dead.
I can take or leave Hartnell.
Next video like this posted is gonna be Rick Moranis arguing that "Space Balls" is better than both series' despite the fact that it's a "Star Wars" parody and only has one movie.
Fuck, I'd give anything see Rick Moranis come out of retirement, even if it's for a 3 min interview. I've enjoyed nearly everything that man made (I pretend Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves doesn't exist, refusing to believe that's his last live action role.) Excuse me well I go listen to the Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack well I work.
Is it on DVD? I tend to purchase everything I watch... horribly bad habit, but it's my cocaine.
Oh come now, you have to remedy that! Not necessarily for Rick's performance, but for the movie itself. An indisputable 80's cult classic, with a rockin' soundtrack and pithy one-liners. Odd bit of trivia: Streets of Fire was a mega hit in Japan of all places, and it was no small influence on some of the greatest OVAs of the period, notably Megazone 23.
In more relevant news, the world needs Rick Moranis. Now more than ever. :(
As a fellow Canadian I made it my childhood goal to watch everything with him in it. Though I have yet to see Streets of Fire.
I get the distinct impression watching this that Carrie Fisher and William Shatner not only know each other, but are friends and they're having great fun stoking each franchise's fanboy rage.
Dude, what the hell happened to her? Did she get a part on Walking Dead that we didn't know about...yeesh, the years haven't been kind.
To think that she's only 55... :/ By the 90s, every time I saw her I found that she looked considerably older than her age. It must be her lifestyle that took its toll. A real shame :/
The years are seldom kind to anyone. 1 in 1000 have the combination of genes, lifestyle, and luck with life choices to "age gracefully". We all think we're going to be that 1, or at least the people we like will. But the reality is that the process of a body's gradual and progressive decline into organ failure is almost always going to be depressing.
Wow....Just reading that depressed me so much that I had to put an extra dot into my ellipsis...
You should see her younger half-sister, Joely. Her stunning twins were the sole (dual?) reason I watched that feeble sitcom 'Til Death. And the show-runners must have noticed as well because there was even a whole episode centering on them. Sweet jumpin' Jesus in a basket of honey-glazed chicken...
Are you serious,did you not see the ass on Kat Foster? Her "whorish dancing" was quite alluring.
