Who needs drugs?

June 26, 2005 by Dori Smith

Last night, Tom and I recorded and started watching the 2005 AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to George Lucas. This page shows a picture of the point at which I had to stop watching for a while:

The evening began with a surprise opening song from William Shatner. Performing a modified version of My Way, Shatner was accompanied by a chorus line of dancing stormtroopers with great comic effect.

William F. Shatner. “Singing”. Dancing stormtroopers. Oh, and they neglected to mention that the “modified version” of My Way included a reference to Howard the Duck.

I remember when you had to take really bad drugs to have experiences like that, but I was stone-cold sober for this one. Tom, otoh, laughed his butt off.

    While it was generally enjoyable, even if a bit Hollywood-fakey in parts (and these things are supposed to be, to a great extent), hands-down the best reason to watch this is Carrie Fisher’s speech. Oh my God, I was laughing so hard I was crying! You forget what a terrific writer and performer-of-her-writing she is until she does something like this.
