Memory Lane Research
Wow.
Okay, so when I was in high school, I had a thing for downloading and editing video clips. I'd put music to them that I'd recorded from CDs, splice them together, put an image series together to make a movie clip, and on and on.
One of my favorite projects involved a buddy of mine in Indiana, who Friar Dave knew in high school. His name was Louis. The edited film clip? The classic snippet from Star Wars: "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope." So what did I do? I recorded myself, in my best plumber/construction worker voice, saying "Help me, Louis. You're my only hope." In the final cut of the clip, I only substituted one word: the name. So, with Carrie Fisher in Italics, and me in bold...
I sent it to Lou with the caption "An early screen test from Star Wars". I still have the clip, and if anyone really wanted to see it, I could probably be convinced to send it to them.
So, wanting to tell you all about it, I did what any good blogger would do: I went to Google's image search and typed in "Princess Leia", figuring that there would be copious images of the holographic Carrie Fisher being projected from R2-D2. Never have I been so happy to be proven wrong. Instead of finding images of Carrie Fisher as a hologram, I learned something that I would have never believed if I hadn't seen it for myself...
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
Now, you'll have to excuse Porn Star Han Solo with action nose in that last picture; but the lesson here? There are actually female Star Wars nerds who are totally hot. And I figured that episode of Friends was just a big joke!
This has probably changed my entire view of the world.
UPDATE: Note to self: beautiful women in gold bikinis apparently not popular blogging material, discontinue similar posts. I read you folks loud and clear.
