The news said "it's a tragedy on so many levels". I'm wondering why, how many levels are there, and what are these levels?

She was a star since 19 years of age, she lived a pampered life and did/had anything she ever wanted.

Millions of men, women and children are being slaughtered all over the world, where are their 'levels'?

I hope they filmed her death scene in the next star wars movie before she kicked the bucket IRL. Her just disappearing when she had a big role in the last film is going to be hard to explain. Or maybe they'll just find a body double/lookalike to take over?

And they had a CGI Peter Cushing and his Tarken spoke several lines with impressive elocution and mannerisms - I was very impressed. I imagine that the directors could bring back all manner of dead screen legends via CGI. You can't distinguish CGI from the real McCoy - at least I can't.

When I came back to the US in "98" I took a job as a SME (subject matter expert) developing training materials for the navy. Worked in conjunction with computer graphic artists to generate my ideas into interactive computer programming. I developed a deep appreciation for their work, really good CGI is a pleasure to watch.

but it is quite clear this mother was overcome with grief at the loss of her child and it was too much to bear and for that I am truly saddened to hear.

my only hope is that both of them had the right relationship with the creator of the universe because if so they will be reunited in the best place of all

Fisher did a movie in '98 called "Contact" which seemed to disclose a lot of ET info. I saw it in the theater; it was long as hell... and long before I was red pilled, so I didn' t think much of it. But I'd be curious to see it again now.

IMHO Fisher was an average looking young woman evincing no discernable significant talent who benefited from being born into the business so to speak. Many if not most of the Hollywood "stars" are sons and daughters of established "actors." IOW Hollywood is replete with nepotism. And it shows in movies of the last few years: shallow characters, flat acting, boring pedestrian plots lacking imagination and creative spark, reliance on excessive CGI action and bombastic banal music. For example, the latest Rogue One was boring! There I was in a nice clean mostly empty theatre with 3D glasses and 20 minutes into the movie I was looking at my watch. And I am (?was) a big Star Wars fan for the campy characters, corny writing and wonderful visuals and action. But Disney and their corporate "brain trust" have managed to pasteurize and partially hydrogenate the Star Wars saga into a boring and predictable evening soap opera set to backdrops of galaxies, green skies and would-be anthropomorphic aliens cum mediocre actors and unimaginative cliche-ish makeup.

Carrie Fisher was ‘high as a kite’ in her final days after falling off the wagon following decades of drug and booze addiction problems, says pal

The pal added: “Carrie had relapsed around Thanksgiving. I saw her myself high as a kite once, not that long ago.

“Some of her friends I talked to doubted she was ever totally clean and sober because she got doctor’s *prescriptions to treat her bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety.”

Carrie, who had openly talked of her struggles with alcohol, LSD, cocaine, heroin and pills, was believed to have relapsed shortly before the tour.

Carrie had opened up through the years about her addictions — including admitting using cocaine on the set of The Empire Strikes Back.

True when I graduated from Chiropractic College only 16 years ago, it was said that disc hernias mainly happened between 35-50, but increasingly I have started seeing it in people in the 20's. I amended it to it happening in people between 30-50 some years ago, but I should probably amend it to 25-45. Since this is a primarily a biomechanical problem in origin, I think the main reason is increased sitting in childhood due to computers, but one can't rule out out a nutritional origin either.

It could also be a combination of alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I wonder about the interaction of the two. Often times the interaction is worse than either (think of fruity sweetened cocktails- alcohol + fructose).

BTW- it does not matter the source of the fructose; HFCS or Cane sugar are basically the same. HFCS has maybe 10% more fructose than came sugar pound for pound. Agave nectar (bullshit sweetener) is the worst (highest fructose concentration).

Do I take this to mean that you consider the operators, owners, controllers, or what ever other label you want to use here are at the same level or status as the actors. From the same class of individuals? Could they be from different classes? One above the other?

Have you ever heard of the "crossroads"? This man speaks of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ5joCwAoo8

There are others who speak of it. There is even a movie short or a music video about a man who went there.

You proclaim God the creator. Others don't. You make a deal and do what is required to hold up your end of your deal. Others make other arrangements. Some don't ask the price or think they won't have to pay or simply don't recognise they are making a deal. Things that happen to some people might even be the price others are willing to pay or compelled to pay for their own deals.

It seems as if each year there is the rush or rash of celebrity deaths as the end of year approaches. Not just TV or Movie or Music but Sport celebrity as well. All kind of celebrity. Sports is acting just like TV or Movie or Music. All populated with hypocrites. Interestingly politics is populated with actors. They don't seem to feature as strongly. There are some but by no means the kinds of numbers as the other hypocrite professions.

Edit: sorry, had to drop off line for a minute.

I don't disagree with the premise of the celebrities leaving and their exit being announced as passing on. Seems odd that there are patterns of dates and other number correlations in the stories surrounding their deaths. But I guess that is what scripting is all about.

Someone did say that these people are given stardom. At some point they have to give it back.

And if everyone thinks your dead, who is going to look for you in the crowd? and if they saw you would they have any more thought than "hey, that guy or that person looks just like so and so?" nope.

weird sh-t going on before fisher and mom dead

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/carrie-fisher-lawsuit-defendant-ruling-942113

2:36 PM PDT 10/28/2016 by Peter Kiefer

The actress' attempt to be removed from a complicated suit over the death of a 21-year-old woman who lived in Fisher's guesthouse is denied, as a judge rules she did not "meet her burden to establish that she cannot be found responsible."

Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher has failed in her effort to escape a complex legal case over the fatal heroin overdose of a 21-year-old woman who lived in her guesthouse two months before her death.

A motion by Fisher to be removed from a wrongful death lawsuit, which centers on the 2010 death of Amy Breliant, was denied Oct. 24 by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Laura A. Matz. The ruling, a copy of which was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, means that Fisher will remain a defendant in the case alongside Warren Boyd, who was overseeing the rehab network that Breliant was under the care of when she died.

“Fisher has failed to meet her burden to establish that she cannot be found responsible, as a matter of law, for the conduct of Boyd, a joint venturer,” reads Matz’s order.

According to the original complaint, filed in 2013 by Breliant’s family, Fisher — the actress and writer known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise — allowed the guesthouse on her Los Angeles property to be used by Boyd, who maintained a network of sober-living homes. According to that court document, Breliant had been assigned in June 2010 to stay at Fisher’s home for “rehabilitation” purposes. In return for offering up her home, Fisher was paid “a share of Boyd's profit or revenue, equal to cash payments of $10,000, weekly,” alleges the complaint. Those payments to Fisher, the original filing claims, are evidence that Fisher effectively was in a joint venture with Boyd.

The family's court papers "would support a reasonable inference that defendant engaged in contact with respect to taking or obtaining funds or assisting in taking or obtaining funds from the dependent adult with intent to defraud," Matz writes in the court order.

Fisher’s attorney, Vicki Greco, declined to comment on the ruling.

When reached for comment, Fisher offered the following statement: "I feel great compassion for any parent’s loss of their child in an untimely death. I have a daughter. To lose a child is an unimaginable tragedy and the grief must be devastating. Unfortunately, I am not able to talk about the details of this case because it is ongoing."

The attorney for Breliant's family, Stephen G. Larson, a partner at the firm Larson O’Brien, offered a comment as well. “We are very pleased with the court’s ruling and look forward to being able to hold those people that we believe are responsible for Amy’s tragic death at the trial in this matter,” said Larson. “As alleged in our complaint, Warren Boyd used Carrie Fisher's celebrity status as one of the instruments by which he conducted his fraudulent drug rehabilitation practice that we believe led to Amy’s death.”

The case is officially known as Breliant v. Marmer, and the plaintiff is Amy’s mother, Gianna Breliant. Gianna alleges that when she sought help from Boyd for her daughter’s heroin addiction, she was subjected to costly, ineffective and ultimately illegal treatment by Boyd. Boyd repeatedly has denied any wrongdoing in the matter.

In September 2010, Amy Breliant died of an overdose while housed at another sober-living home run by Boyd, according to the filings. At the time of her death, the family asserts they had paid Boyd about $222,000 for a range of services they were told included writing and acting coaches.

According to his website, Boyd was a former addict who reinvented himself as an interventionist and rehabilitation expert. He was the inspiration for and co-executive producer of the A&E televisions series The Cleaner, which was about a recovering addict who turns to helping others and starred Benjamin Bratt.

The trial is expected to start in May.
