Alan Rickman

[Prairie Mom]

siiiiighhh...Alan Rickman.

Couldn't care less about the Brad Pitts of the universe, I'll take Alan Rickman as a Romantic lead or Villain any day! Totally sad he's departed.

@Stitchpunk have you seen "Truly, Madly, Deeply"?

Here's a fun clip. I love their version of this song better than the original.

If you haven't seen it, you SHOULD! He comes back as a ghost to help her deal with losing him. It's very clever.

A wonderful actor, loved all his films, and a fantastic Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films.
A great loss!

Agreed! When I read the books, I only picture Alan Rickman. He was too perfect in every way!
I saw this the other day...sigh...


Seriously...such a fantastic character in the books. He dedicated his whole life to Harry Potter's safety even when Harry had moments of being a stupid Twerp all for the love of Lily! Great Story and Great portrayal by a fabulous actor!

Ha ha! I love it sooo much!

Maybe the CDR needs to have a funny sci-fi movie night.
Galaxy Quest and Hitchhiker's.

By Grapthar's hammer, you couldn't be MORE RIGHT!

Do you remember the Rock Monster scene in Galaxy Quest? I've hiked there MANY MANY times. I'll have to post pictures. I only have one on this computer that my husband uploaded of me, but it doesn't show how cool the valley is. It's one of the freaky cool places in the world.

No No no!!! You heard wrong!!!

I love the books too! The movie certainly takes BIG departures from the books. If you're looking for an exact replica, you'll be disappointed BUT -HUGE BUT!!- (he he) The movie captures the FEEL and tone of the books PERFECTLY. Opening credits with Dolphins doing synchronized swimming singing "So long and thanks for all the fish", Martin Freeman is a perfect Arthur Dent, Billy Nighy is Startybartfast, Alan Rickman as Marvin the Robot, and they Captured the Vogon's perfectly complete with hideous bureaucracy and even torture by poetry! They change Zaphod Beeblebrox's heads in a weird way, but the actor's performance is dead on and really amusing. You must see it! If I draw you for Secret Santa next year, I'm sending you THIS MOVIE along with "The King of Kong: a fistful of quarters" if you don't own it already!!!

Time to keep any Graffiti Professor Snape $5 in circulation

 

[Prairie Mom]

Has everyone seen this!?!?!?!? THE LAST WORK HE DID BEFORE HE DIED INVOLVED A TORTOISE!!!

His last piece of work was to do a voice over for a clip of a tortoise eating a strawberry!!!!! Every Youtube view donates a percentage to charity! It's thought to be the last work he did before passing away!...

[dmmj]

as far as I know everybody who's read the book hated the movie. I don't need an exact adaptation of the book but it should keep the spirit of the book alive

I haven't tbh. I tend to avoid romcoms and relationship movies, I'm all about the explosions and spaceships! But I can handle Love Actually...

"Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts
With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!"

I don't think I've ever made it to the end of the movie. I always fall asleep. Got the audiobooks though.

Just came across this... a wicked find for all you Rickman-fan-tortoise-owners. Just by watching this cute vid of a tort eating a strawberry (and listening to Rickman's sublime voice at the same time) you can help out refugees. In the vid, Richman states that Youtube will pay for every view that the vid receives, and that money will then be donated. Share it widely!
