I'll be looking to rent this

I'll be looking to rent this when it hits the home video market. I really love her recent work. She was the best part of the awful Sorority Row remake, and the only reason I keep looking to pick up a cheap copy of the film. Her shotgun toting house mother ROCKED!

Agreed! I watched the movie because my sons were arguing about who the killer was so to make them stop I rented it.

She really cracks me up. I

She really cracks me up. I love that she has a sense of humor about herself and her career and doesn't try to hide that she grew up famous. She's a very witty writer, as well. Postcards from the Edge is a GREAT novel, much better than the film.

Agreed. I think she's learned the secret: it's better to laugh than cry.

I just watched it and thought

I just watched it and thought it was great I missed the first 20 mins, but I'm sure it come around again.

I thought it was hilarious and was great that she was so open especially about her bi-polar disorder and addiction. Pretty intriguing when she asked the audience if anyone has been to the mental hospital and only one person had the balls to say that they had.

She was like "You see me and Jason got an inclusive invite to the mental hospital and the rest of you can't come!" lol

I really liked how she called out that stupid site saying "WTF happen to Carrie Fisher" commenting on her looks. I remember reading it. I'm so glad she told that site to fuck off I mean really a woman in her 20's her looks are eventually going to change. I still think she looks damn good.

I really want to see it - I

I really want to see it - I hope they put it on Netflix.

She's an extremely confidant woman - I'm glad she doesn't care what the fucking assholes say about her looks. We all look different when we're 60 than when we're 20.

And I do love how open she is about mental illness and treatment. Let's face it - alot of us are fucking nuts.

Guilty on both counts...
