The Quote of the Day from one year ago!

Carrie Fisher (+6)
"Yes, of course I knew. We all knew. The only one who didn't know was George Lucas. We kept it from him, because we wanted to see what his face looked like when it changed expression&mdash;and he fooled us even then. He got Industrial Light and Magic to change his facial expression for him and THX sound to make the noise of a face-changing expression."

- Carrie Fisher, on whether or not she knew Star Wars would be a success

"Anyway, during one of the takes, Mark was so intent on making his strangulation look realistic that he ended up bursting a blood vessel in his eye, which in turn left a bright red dot. So, the following day we shot our next scene&mdash;which happened to be the last scene in the movie. You know, the one where I give out all the medals? Mark had to grin like a motherfucker in that scene in order to conceal his red dot. Because, ultimately, who's going to give a medal to someone with a big, stupid red dot in their eye? I don't care how much force is with him."

Carrie Fisher (+5)
"So you see, George Lucas is a sadist. But like any abused child, wearing a metal bikini, chained to a giant slug about to die, I keep coming back for more. Now why, you might ask? Well, (I would answer), let's face it, George Lucas is a visionary, right? The man has transported audiences the world over and has provided Mark and Harrison and myself with enough fan mail and even a small merry band of stalkers, keeping us entertained for the rest of our unnatural lives&mdash;not to mention identities that will follow us to our respective graves like a vague, exotic smell."

ROTS: Anakin's Butt (+2)
"Obi-Wan Kenobi opened his eyes to find himself staring at what he strongly suspected was Anakin's butt. It looked like Anakin's butt—well, his pants, anyway—though it was thoroughly impossible for Obi-Wan to be certain, since he had never before had occasion to examine Anakin's butt upside down, which it currently appeared to be, nor from this rather uncomfortably close range. And how he might have arrived at this angle and this range was entirely baffling. He said, 'Um, have I missed something?' 'Hang on,' he heard Anakin say. 'We're in a bit of a situation here.' So it was Anakin's butt after all. He supposed he might take a modicum of comfort from that."
