Has anyone got a link to the Victoria Wood and All the Trimmings spoof with AR? I would certainly appreciate it if anyone can lead me to it. Thanks.

Yes, yes, let's start a campaign to get Alan his star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame! By all means, we love him so much, let's make his nightmare come true! And Joan, I'm sure there are tons of innocent children reading the Alan Rickman Guestbook, so please continue to post in code!

As far as a "look alike" Alan looks more like Queen Elizabeth than he does that guy. Especially in Michael Collins, with the fur coat and purse.

Hiromi, I read somewhere that although Alan is not "sports minded" he does watch Wimbledon as he has a brother who is a tennis instructor.

Karen, what a fabulous idea-let me know where to send my contribution. And no, it will not count as "having dinner with Alan" if you sit on his star with a bottle of wine and a Burger King Whopper!

Karen: Great idea!Although I donft know much about fund raising things, Ifd be happy to help you if there is something I can do for you. Your post reminds me of how poorly people in the film industry in Japan treat ARfs name in his films. An Awfully Big Adventure was released here as a Hugh Grant film with a weird Japanese title something like gHugh Grant: A Feeling of Loveh. In the cast list on the back of the Blow Dry video, ARfs name comes third, even though AR starred in it!

Karen: I think it's a great idea! It would be great if we could find a way to organize this. Anyone with fundraising experience who could help out?

I was wondering if AR likes to play football. If he does, is there a particular team he is supporting? A team in Hammersmith, perhaps? In An Awfully Big Adventure, he did play football (a little bit), didnft he?

Hi All! I was watching tv last night and saw Harrison Ford get his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I then double checked to see if our Alan had one - and he doesn't! So what else does his #1 Los Angeles fan do but try to sponsor him, right? Well, I went to the Walk of Fame site to see what the qualifications were for nomination.
Here are a few samples from the list:
Professional Achievement in the Field of Entertainment.
No problem, we all know Alan has mucho awards and things of that sort.
Longevity of Five Years or More.
Again, no problem, Die Hard was way over 5 years ago and he's been going strong ever since.
Contribution to the Community.
Not sure if they mean the Hollywood community or the world community, but I think he's solid in both areas.
Recipient must agree to attend the dedication ceremony.
I certainly hope so. I will be sending a letter to Alan's manager letting her know of these intentions. Also to see if he will be okay with being nominated and available for a trip to LA at some point next year (2003 is closed).
All applications must include bio and photo; non-returnable samples of the nominee's work may also be submitted.
No problem there.
The Sponsorship fee is $15,000 and is subject to change.
Uh-oh. "Houston, we have a problem."
The only idea I have is to include Alan's world-wide fan base. Besides, I think it would be a really cool thing we could do for him, it would be a such a special tribute to him from us. What do you think? Does anyone have any ideas on this kind of fundraising or any other thoughts about this?
Thanks for listening! Karen :o)

What's on the extra DVD-disc Robin Hood-Prince of thieves:
we get to see Sheriff of Nottingham worshipping the Pagan Gods, the call off Christmas scene is extended, the scene where he recruits the Celts is shown and you get to see him celebrating Marion's kidnap, as well as finding out that Mortianna is his mum.
And in the interview Alan gave at the time for the film you even get to see a little behind the scenes footage of him and Kevin working on the fight scene from the Sheriff's wedding

Dear Sandy, in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves", the Sheriff and Marion were never married. She never said yes. He was trying to force her, yet paused to put a pillow under her head, clearly he had no idea how to treat people. He probably did need therapy as someone suggested, I read somewhere that Alan Rickman wanted the Sheriff to be certifiable and funny. I haven't been writing plainly because I didn't know if children would read this guestbook. You think it'll be all right?

GML-thanks for Collateral Damage intel.
OK. Finally finished
DH-Any AR fans out there who have not seen this-SEE IT. I think in GB played down importance of this movie for AR too much. IF you have not seen it-STOP READING. Go get it.
DH-SPOILER: Hello this is the "perfect murder" movie-and did she ever deserve it. Wonderful. Fantastic. Must see it second time to really catch the specialness of this movie. Played amazingly by AR. I believe this is one of his most intelligent movie rolls and right up his alley as far as movie drama is concerned.
I am glad i did not give up on this. He looks older but atill sexy as only AR can be in his total work.

I happened to notice that a new "Bob Roberts" dvd will be released on June 17th: Bob Roberts DVD
There wasn't any additional information on this new dvd with the listing. Anyone know anything about this new version? I wonder if there will be more of Alan on it? Gosh, I'm not sure I could take it! A RHPoT dvd with the restored scenes [i]and[/i] a new "Bob Roberts" dvd! All in the same in the month. I'm still pinching myself over the news of the RHPoT dvd......

Thanks to you all, I was able to return the unopened RH DVD I had just received a while back not knowing of the new version due out in June. I can’t wait to see the new AR scenes. Sue, thanks for the pic of Alan. There was something about how he looks in those black jeans that makes my heart melt. That man is so….o:-)

HI Sue: Unfortunately, I have not seen the new & improved RHPot dvd. I'm just passing along information from another person who has.
I never saw the RHPoT documentary. So, at the risk of sounding daft, what is that special *wink* I should look out for?
And on another note, thanks so much, Sue, for posting the latest Alan/Chelsea photo. I greatly appreciate it!

OT - Help needed for a reference query.
Who said "Rules were made for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wisemen"?
My colleague has had a letter from an "old codger" in a nursing home in Queensland wanting to know where the above quote came from. She has tried various reference sources, and the internet, without any luck. She has even read the book "Fanny by Gaslight" because he thought that's where it originated.
Any volunteers to watch the video of "Fanny by Gaslight" just in case the quote was from the Hollywood version of the book.? Or is someone wise enough to know. Thanks

Suggestion: read some interviews of Alan Rickman. Very carefully notice what he says about himself and, also, what his friends say about him. You might be pleasantly surprised. This is how I formed my opinion about Alan Rickman himself. I do realize that he is not the characters he played, so please don't worry. I found him, according to his interviews, to be a very generous man, almost to the point of being somewhat self-sacrificing of his comfort.

I know, Suzanne, I can't believe that the long-awaited day is finally near!!! Here are a couple of screen captures from the new RHPOT DVD to whet your appetite. One is from an interview Alan did back when the film was originally released. The other is from footage of AR and KC rehearing the fight scene. Evidently, they have just shared a joke. And, both are on the new dvd!!

This just posted on an Alan Rickman Yahoo! Group site:
Yes! Today my Postman is my bestfriend, I have just had my region 1 DvD of RHPoT arrive! So I can sit here and watch George Sheriff of Nottingham
[Little while later - After having watched the film]
OK I have watched the DvD. All of the extras are added back into the film, and we get to see Sheriff of Nottingham worshipping the Pagan Gods, the call off Christmas scene is extended, the scene where he recruits the Celts is shown and you get to see him celebrating Marion's kidnap, as well as finding out that Mortianna is his mum.
I know it is not due for release in the USA till June 10 and The UK version is not out for a few months yet but I had pre-ordered it from Play.com and they must have had an early delivery, not that I am complaining!
I can thoroughly recommend this DvD to you ladies. It is great to see at least some (if not all) of Alan's scenes put back in and having watched the interview Alan gave at the time for the film you even get to see a little behind the scenes footage of him and Kevin working on the fight scene from the Sheriff's wedding
Alan is rather than that he is sexy and i like your pictures. I knoOOOoOw!.. (sorry, couldn't help it) (Prunella Scales as Sibyl Fawlty) - I too saw A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (with Eddie Izzard as Bri) in London and greatly enjoyed it. I was most impressed by all the cast but especially by Izzard whom I'd never seen act before, outside one of his comic routines... he was excellent and even the critics agreed on that (wow). So unlike it's a mistake, Mr R is in New York? Rrrumph!;) Am half wondering if that might be related to the recent death in her NY home of Rachel Kempson, aka Lady Redgrave, actress, widow of the late Michael Redgrave, mother and grandmother of the biggest stage acting family in England (including Vanessa and Corin Redgrave, the organiser of Collateral Damage). Anyway, probably not, but British actors in the US at the moment for whatever reason would most definitely want to pay their respects. There's a decent piece of info about it at: Lady Redgrave Dies As for the two or three people who asked why Collateral Damage Hey, I was in London yesterday, beautiful day. Half the population were sunning themselves in Hyde Park, I joined in and shared my lunch wih the squirrels and the starlings (I know, they don't need encouragement) and finished the evening sipping wine on the South Bank with a friend. Best place in the world to be on a sunnny evening/warm night... Well, one of. That would be Prunella Scales. I saw "A Day in the Death of Joe Egg" in London last year, starring Clive Owen (from "Close My Eyes") in the role that Eddie Izzard later took over, and also with the mother played by the same fine actress who played the stage manager in "An Awfully Big Adventure" and, alas, whose name is not prsently coming to mind. She also was John Cleese's wife in "Fawlty Towers" years ago. Victoria Hamilton was the wife in "Joe Egg." It was a revival even then. An interesting play.
And, Ann Williams, yes, we posted that article last month when it came up. Many photos of AR from the "Hitchcock Blonde" premiere have been linked to this page also. But thanks, anyway. There is another Chelsea Flower Show pic in tonight's London Standard ES magazine. AR with a brolly! This is the actual post from the Eddie Izzard fan site regarding Alan's appearance in New York: "hey all, i saw joe egg again 2nite and if anyone cares alan rickman was there and i waited like 30 mins for eddie to
come out but i guess he ws chatting it up with alan backstage so i left:-p -- elana, 22:49:47 05/28/03 Wed"
Nothing heard for a while. Nearly retired from teaching. Does anyone have any pictures of Alan from his earlier years? Still fancy him like crazy, I love him as the baddie in Robin Hood, so mystic and dangerous. I have invented a telescope using a shoe box and a magnifying glass - it is brilliant and I believe that the Sultan of Brunei may be interested in the idea. You can use it to look at the sun if you put a car break light lense on it. Have fun everybody. Thank you, Terri, for that correction! You are absolutely right....Eddie Izzard's play is, indeed, titled "A Day in the DEATH of Joe Egg." Double deleted. Sorry, somehow I posted twice.
Here is the link to the official page of the play. Joe Egg Fast Film - Sorry I messed up your name. Fast forward is what I do to the Robin Hood movie to get to the best parts.
Speaking of robins, I like your poem. Hi, Kimberly,
I think you meant "A Day In the *Death* of Joe Egg."
Kimberly: Hi! What a great news you've got! Did AR watch the play? Or was he simply spotted at the theater? What kind of play is this? It is exciting! Here's a bit of "Alan" news from an Eddie Izzard fan: Alan was spotted Wednesday evening (5/28) in New York at Eddie's Broadway play "A Day in the Life of Joe Egg."
Sue-I am surprised Collateral Damage is not "travelling" there seems to have been so many people involved and it was a hit with critics. No one is doing anything like that in states. it would be a bit leftist for me-but I would still love to see it-AR seems to shine in intellectual projects but does not do many of them. With his star status and voice he could be a strong speaker on the topics that he cares about but then of course would have to deal with the press and would lose much of that privacy he demands. But he is a strong character both historically and politically in the past 25 years like it or not. I wonder is he recognizes his potential power. His psyce seems to shy away from any "power". Intersting. I guess a UK upbringing differs greatly from the states and this class association he has just is a huge part of who he is-this I think is one reason he is so compelling to so many. Deeply compelex and richly developed mind. Fast Forward - you're right about Clint and his name has been removed from the Neanderthal women-hater list of movie makers. Wondering Minstrel - the libidinous Sheriff would have a very enthusiastic participant for any "encounter" he wishes - any time, any day, any where. He'd have to outrun me to get rid of me and I can run pretty fast. Sandy Item on CNN Entertainment "• What are the best heroes and villains in film history? Harrison Ford and Jodie Foster are among the stars who weigh in with their opinions on "American Film Institute's 100 Heroes and Villains," airing Tuesday at 8 p.m. on CBS, with Arnold Schwarzenegger hosting. " AR is on this list. Jessica, I expect the reason you didn't get an answer is because none of us knows! LA finished filming last year and who knows how long it takes to make HP3. AR has been seen at Collateral Damage in March and the charity gig the other week. I don't know about the States, but as Love Actually doesn't open till November I would be surprised to have seen any trailers in the British cinema yet. I'm sure with the cast and writer/director it has there will be BIG (shh!) publicity nearer the date. I came on GB asking same questions-Does anyone know what AR is up too right now? But I did not get any responses. Best I can tell he is taking a break after Love Actually wrapped. I wonder is anything is happening with this Production Company?
DH is good. I have a tape with lousy sound. Lots of dialogue so it is slow going. Many people have told me AR has a very minor role in DH but so far he seems pretty important. I will proably not finish it until sat am big filming schdule tommorrow. I will not give the whole GB my entire play by play on it but i would love anyones opinion of this. It is so overlooked but so far it is a pretty intense role for AR. Gabrielle-I have not finished DH had to work tonight and had k graduation for my little guy-big deal! Now I am psyced to watch DH to the end. Thanks. Yes I likes the legs cause I haven't seen them anywhere else. He plays this part so far very real as far as I am concerned. Apparently that story is correct about the "relationship". I just read articles by putting in Dark Harbor and Alan Rickman in search. I love the Maine scenery. J I read on one of the HP sites that AR was committed to the HP movies only through Azkaban and didn't want to discuss The Goblet of Fire & beyond with the interviewer. Has anyone else heard anything like this? Does anyone have a clue what Joan is talking about? Sorry, I didn't explain who Jimmy was--I just assumed everyone knew. Has anyone seen any kind of Love Actually trailer? There's hardly any promotion for this movie, which I think is weird, since HUGH GRANT is in it and he has so many fans, and it's coming out pretty soon..... If anyone has seen a preview at the theatre, what movie did you see it in? Thanks...

Forgive me if this has already been posted but I found this via Lexis-Nexis:
The Evening Standard (London)
April 24, 2003
SECTION: Pg. 10
LENGTH: 148 words
HEADLINE: Keeping sex off stage;
Londoner's Diary
BODY:
JERRY HALL, Lulu and Alan Rickman were among those who flocked to The Royal Court Theatre in Sloane Square last night for a special gala performance of Hitchcock Blonde in which Rosamund Pike memorably disrobes.
But there was much less enthusiasm at the prospect of going to see the controversial Spanish sex show, XXX, which has just opened at the Riverside. "I won't go to watch a play just because it has got sex in it," Rickman told me. "I'm only interested in plays which are well written. You will have to tell me if it's any good."
My broadband server was down all day yesterday so this post is a little "behind the times". Ali-Pat mentioned Lemony Snicket, author of children's books. For those interested Lemony is the pseudonym of one Daniel Handler who's most recent work has been writing the screenplay for a movie "Rick" which is currently in post production. It is a contemporary version of Verdi's opera "Rigoletto", which is about a deformed jester whose mockery of his master's victims brings on a curse that leads to tragedy for himself and his daughter. In the "modernised" movie version Rick is a corporate High-flyer instead of a court jester. The leading role of "Rick" is played by Bill Pullman so I'll be first in line to see that one! OT- Sandy in Canada, no fair lumping Clint Eastwood in the lumpen Neanderthal moviemen class. As a director/producer, he makes a point to include very strong female roles in virtually every film (Tyne Daly, Genevieve Bujold etc. in addition to his obvious love interests)despite his specialty in the XY chromosome action genre, and has been quoted on same saying one would be stupid not to, as women are 50% of the filmgoing audience. Sandy - I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't rape, I just wondered if that was the only part of the whole movie that had something like that. I mean, okay, the scene with the redhead-is she there against her will? It isn't clear. The 'my room,10:30, you, 10:45' thing isn't clear to me, either, since the women were like "oh, okay." when he said that. He might as well have been ordering lunch from their expression. Hey, maybe he was! Sex was truly only implied, after all. They probably work for Pizza Hut! *lol* Does anybody know what AR is up to these days? Haven't heard what he's doing for a while now... Jessica, if you have not gotten to the end of DH by now, take a deep breath and calm yourself before you get there. The shot of his legs in the motel room is just a tease.
On another Dark Harbour note, I was looking at the GB archives (I know, I should get myself a life) and there was a note in the Boston Globe, sent in by Melissa from Cambridge, MA (Melissa, are you still around?) to the effect that Polly Walker and Adam Coleman Howard, who directed DKH, had developed a "close relationship" during the filming, to the point where Ms. Walker had moved to New York from London. Wonder if this is true?
Amazing, the things that went on in the next state over, & I was oblivious! I have seen Quigley a few times. His lines are pretty funny and delivered perfectly in AR style. Ashame he is such a minor part as far as film time. Still liked it. He does die well. Guess it is the classic training. J Gabrielle-thanks on date of photo. Good job confirmed by a couple other people 8 Years. OK DH is looking up-THERE ARE HIS LEGS. How come you did not let me know his legs are naked in DH. I need support from you other AR fans. That was a pretty steamy beginning of a "sex"scene for AR until he dicided to make phone call. Looking up. I do not like her. Just started watching DH-WOW. Those two are a really loving couple. The pick up is what 15? This flick is unnerving me. Will I love AR in DH? Advice please! Hi Wondering Minstrel - Just my opinion but George's scene with the unwilling and unhappy Maid Marian has be classified as a rape scene. It was the only time during the entire movie I was glad to see Costner's face. Tho I wouldn't in my wildest dreams compare this to an early Bronson or Eastwood movie where women are only there in order to be gang-raped, George uses force and intimidation and Marian clearly doesn't want him. This will be a very unpopular viewpoint but it's my viewpoint anyway. While on the subject, when I first watched the "Die Hard" men take their hostages I was a little nervous that we'd have to watch screaming and terrified women getting hauled off to a back room somewhere and was greatly relieved the movie did not take this route. Scenes of rape and bloody violence even when crucial to the storyline leave my poor tummy all knotted up and I have to cover my eyes. Some things you just never get used to - thankfully. Jimmy = doorman during PL Broadway run Just a little nagging question-why is it that anytime a story is written about George, they portray him as a rapist? What evidence is there? Yeah, I know, the scene with Marian, but the guy was in a hurry! He had reasons to be doing things that way. Other than that, though, I didn't really see much else. Did I miss something? JOAN: All caps on the Internet means you are shouting. Unless you really are sending coded messages, please stop shouting at us.
I was being a bit funny with my remark about AR getting angry. Because, frankly, your psychoanalysis of AR based on the characters he plays makes me a teensy bit uncomfortable. His characters are not really him. How can any of us seriously presume to know what goes on in his mind and in his life? I'm sure his friends, family and possibly his shrink are taking good care of him. So, Joan, please chill out. Watch his videos; take a nice long sensual bubble bath while listening to him read "Return of the Native"; write some lemony fanfic. Please, for your own happiness, have a sense of humor about your Rickmania (it's the only way to cope). Put AR in perspective and STOP YELLING AT US!!!!!!!! Chandra, re: Malacolm MacDowell. What a great idea!! I am in complete agreement. Couldn't think of anyone better. Am I the only one a bit freaked out by Joan? Altho' I went to see PL I did not have the good fortune to meet "Jimmy" but I can tell you because I used to be a stage manager that all Broadway theaters and probably most Off-Bdwy theaters as well have a stage doorman and unathorized folks DO NOT get past him. They are in the tough IATSE union and don't suffer fools gladly. Who is this Jimmy guy everyone keeps talking about? Is he somehow connected with AR? It sounds like he was screening AR's fans after Private Lives. I've noticed from previous posts,from fans who have seen PL, that this Jimmy guy is always around! Taking AR's flowers,cards,and whatever else they give. The next thing I hear is him pointing out an unnoticed fan to AR, and AR seems uninterested. Someone posted a looong time ago that Jimmy was the "backstage" helper, but my instincts make me question if that's all he is. What do you think? Jessica, the photo is similar to one that I have seen of AR & Elizabeth Mastrontonio, though in that one he is holding the shades in his hand. It looks to be about 10 years old or so, maybe it was from the RHPROT era?
I don't know if this has been mentioned on the GB, but Hans Gruber is one of the villains nominated in the tvguide.com Favorite Heroes and Villains contest. Look Shy Lurker from Stare Wars, I presume Would that be ShyLurker Holmes or Shylurker from the Merchant of Venice!??! Joan do you need to YELL when you make a POINT ? Dear KATE: that's a DISTURBING IMAGE...if I called Alan Rickman to reassure him that he's allowed to get angry and this he responded to with anger, I do believe that he would regret it IN AN INSTANT. From what I've read, when he is with his fans, he is a gentleman. It's difficult to face a group of strangers not knowing who would be forgiving if he had a moment of rudeness. AWFUL PRESSURE! He can not do his work anonymously, so he must face his fans. Acting is intensely emotional WORK, so if he does the slightest impatient thing it could cause an OVER-REACTION. So, Kate, Alan needs forgiving fans, I'm sure his long relationships are with just that kind of people. He's appears too kind-hearted; let's allow him to be human ...most of us won't collapse if he isn't the PERFECT gentleman. The language of Dogma was never an issue for me, even though I almost never swear myself. I know that some people just talk like that, and as long as it sounds natural and not forced, it doesn't bother me. Anyway, I love the ideas that Kevin Smith was tossing around and of course, Metatron is one of my favorite AR characters. The voice has stayed with me ever since Die Hard, but it was Dogma that threw me head over heels. QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER...Alan Rickman is often seen with his upper lip curled-up and he squints his eyes alot. Could it be because of the hot, dry weather? He has no woman in this movie. His character is a killer and his attitude makes him DANGEROUS and RIDICULOUS. Alan may appear somewhat different in this movie because of the facial expressions. And his character uses people as though he owns them and has the option to dispose of them whenever it would be to his advantage...he makes violence look like a game. Why must Alan Rickman keep "DYING" on us? I'm with Dee. "Foul language" does not offend me and has never ruined a movie for me. Metatron does say the "f" word I'm pretty sure, when Bethany ruins his clothes with the fire extinguisher and he gets angry. That he doesn't swear more freely is because his character was supposed to be an erudite seraph. AR swears plenty in other films (and as quoted in Emma Thompson's S&S diary, in real life). I could quote you chapter and verse from "Die Hard," "Close My Eyes," "Judas Kiss," "Dark Harbor" - those are just off the top of my head. He's an artist, he deals in words, some of those words are sometimes "offensive" to some, not all. Shakespeare was offensive to some!
AR has questioned a lot of stuff on movies (wouldn't throw Bonnie Bedelia to the floor in DH because he felt it was gratuitous and Hans, being European, would be more courtly). But I never read about him questioning words, refusing to say dirty words. To me, that gets awfully close to censorship of the filmmaker/writer's vision. It is funny how opinions can differ. I (for one it seems) did not focus at all on the "bad" language in Dogma. I really was listening to something very different going on there. I will have to watch it again--tonight!!! Then again, I'm not offended by foul language, as I consider it nothing more than words!! Now, let me go put that tape in my VCR . . . Gabrielle-thanks for the link. Any idea when the photo was taken? Nice specs. Anyone have an opinon about AR in Quigley Down Under. He seems to have made a very large input into this script with changes-dialogue improvision and wardrobe choices. I am not a huge western fan but liked this movie. Very political and lovely country. J As for The Metatron being the only person in Dogma without a potty mouth-do Angels swear????I would think not. I do agree about the excess use of crass profanity-it's the mark of a very lazy scriptwriter in my opinion.Dogma remains one of my favorite Alan films, I have learned through repeat viewings to tune out the swearing. If you ever see the film on the Comedy Channel(heavily edited for language content)you will enjoy it. I think they did a fine job keeping the message intact. Thanks Dee, I will watch again on DVD! I wonder if the talk AR did about “forsaking all others” was inspired by someone in Alan’s personal life?”
Dogma’s rude language was a distraction for me because it seemed misplaced, and forced, vs the yippi ki-ay mother**** which made the movie for me.
Indeed, the easiest way to get from Point A to Point B is a straight line; however, sometimes the SCENIC ROUTE is the better choice. Especially if the age of the reader is not known. Thank you for the interest, SECRETIVE SERVICE and SANDY, Canada. Hey Dee, fellow swelterer, I'm still wishing for a dip in Dark Harbor, even a Weinbergless one. Chandra, the profane one in "Dogma" was but one of the ensemble cast, and his libretto was so deliberately over the top as to be a real source of humor to me and presumably others, like the deliberate lowlife humor in Shakespeare. NOT COMPARABLE, but just as deliberate. An uneven but funny film to me, and source of much debate in tastes here! FOF reply -- I do understand the concept of DOGMA. I'm not thrilled with the script!! I hate it when writers, for lack of a thesaurus or a vocabulary or a brain or something, resort to crass levels of profanity to make a point - - and I was only speculating that maybe our hero and favorite leading man may have harbored similar sentiments and perhaps refused not partake in such low banter! -- he seemed to stand out in DOGMA as the only speaking character who did not use the F-word in almost every sentence and I'm proud of him if he had anything to do with editing the Metatron's lines. Lee-for some reason, I knew the minute David started acting all bizarre and angry in the car (in the beginning scenes of DKH) that something was afoot. Watch it again, it's very obvious he's got the whole thing all planned. FastFilm--are you around??? Dang this heat!! Did you know Kenneth Branaugh got married? Off topic, I know. I'm beginning a campaign of sorts - I think that Malcolm McDowell should be considered for the charactor of "Mad Eye Moody" - Goblet of Fire, (book 4) rumored to be movie(s) 4 AND 5! Kit, I must have misunderstood your post. I thought you meant that you couldn't understand how she could still be yearning for her father's love after all these years, and still remember him. Factual stuff about mushrooms was not what I thought you meant. You spelled 'believable' correctly I believe! I only saw DK H twice in the same rental week,a long time ago, but did David always have a thing for the hitch hiker or did that idea develop after the dream or something. I am unclear and need to watch again i think. Joan and Ella, I'm so glad there are more AR fans in PA! I only know a few people (outside of acting pals) who even know who he is! Of course, I have enlightened a good number. People always say "oh HIM! He's good!" then forget about him. How they can I don't know! Cynthia, the mind may store memories, but active ones from early childhood seem to get pretty hazy. From all the stuff what's-her-name said in Dark Harbor, she hardly ever saw her parents, and her dad was particularly distant from her. For her to remember poisonous and non poisonous mushrooms from one encounter with her dad 30 years ago seems unbelievable (that can't be the right spelling!) to me. I still can't tell the difference and I've been shown four or five times as an adult! I didn't mind AR's accent in Judas Kiss. It wasn't New Orleans, but it was better than most of those horrible accents of the rest of the cast. Emma T's was OK, but awfully fast. (my Texas relatives never talk that fast.) Whay did everyone have to have an accent anyway? Lots of people from other places work in the South, and FBI agents aren't supposed to have accents anyway! Most of the ones I know are from Utah and don't talk a whole lot. Thanks AliPat,we'll have a lot of fun, no kids, no dogs for two great weeks! Kit regarding what you said about Alexis in Dark Harbor still pining after her father that she lost as a child. It is strange to me that you find that implausible. William Faulkner said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." Judging from the way adults behave and some of the decisions they make, including myself, I think that's true. Wasn't he cute in Dark Harbor when he was playing badmitton wearing sweats? The hosing off scene that followed didn't really do much for me, though. I recently added Robin Hood and Judas Kiss to my video library, and all I can say about Judas Kiss is that I think I have never heard a southern accent be butchered in such a heartless manner. Even his accent at the beginning of Dark Harbor was better. In Robin Hood,I don't know, I had a hard time getting the concept of the sheriff as a truly bad guy. Seems he just needed a little therapy or something. That's all I have to say for now. Let's see if this post mysteriously disappears! I loved Alan Rickman in Dogma and in Harry Potter. I was just browsing yesterday and found out that the National Theatre Archive has a videotape of their production of Antony and Cleopatra with AR. I understand it was filmed with a single stationary camera, but would love any chance to see what AR is like onstage. Has anyone seen it? I wish London wasn't so far away. Honestly, I don't drop in at the GB for a week and look what I've missed - quite a read. HIROMI - love the sound of a kimono - ooohh - would anything in black silk be suitable? ACC - reading your comment on beachbunny chasing had me in stitches. I could see him running up and down the sand with a knotted hanky and Kiss-Me-Quick hat on his head (now THAT'S sartorial elegance!). Fair enough on a beach in California, but many British beaches can freeze the hardiest of extremities!!! As Dark Harbor seems to be a current topic, have any GBers seen the BBC production State of Play on Sunday nights? The wife of the lead character is played by Polly Walker and the newspaper boss is played by Bill Nighy, from Blow Dry and Love Actually. It is worth a watch and will probably crop up on a channel in the US that shows BBC dramas. Now that I've got DkH on DVD, I'll try to do some deciphering - watch this space. Ella, Artemis Fowl is the first of three novels by Eoin Colfer featuring the 12-year old criminal mastermind, Artemis Fowl. The series of books written by Lemony Snickett (pseudonym for an author who has made a sideline career out of remaining anonymous) feature the unfortunate events befalling the Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. The two series are not related, except in the fact that they are wholly entertaining reads.
Gabrielle, the article, titled "Bag of Tricks: Belfast Makeup Artist Touches Up Faces on 'Dark Harbor' Set in Northport" was published in the Bangor Daily News on December 22, 1998. It doesn't have a lot to say about AR, but mentions the hardiness of Polly Walker "who had to perform outdoors in the cold, wearing a nightgown, while a rain machine soaked her." I'm afraid I can't link to the whole article, since you have to pay to view it, but you can find the abstract on www.bangornews.com. Guess by the time you reach 57 years it takes more than big boobs to impress - he's been there, done that. Also to Secret Police or Service - what secret message is hidden in Joan's message - please give me a hint,I love a good puzzle. Ali-Pat, Katie, Troy08, et al, Thanks for the info on DKH. I can't imagine diving into the water up there at any time of year myself. Is there a date on the newspaper article? I was wondering when it was filmed, or any other info they provided. It's also not my fave AR film, but it does have it's moments.
To Anonymous, who was wondering if the freeze-frame and zoom would lend any interest to viewing the film, I imagine you are looking to examine the scenery of the Mid-Maine coast, or maybe getting a better look at the tattoo on the Boy's back, why would anyone think anything else?
If anyone is still wondering about AR's fashion sense, please look at this link: http://smtraversy.home.attbi.com/sunglasses.jpg, just type it in the browser if it doesn't work. artemus Fowl is good stuff the sequal Artic book is good too and I think the third is about. I saw the Iris author interviewd here on Good Morning Australia by Bert (fellow Oz people know)The author made it sound so funny and it is. Do not worry I know not everyone has a Jnr as an excuse. The body guard is played by The Rock in my imagination. The dad could be A.R. Is Artemis Fowl the main character in the Lemony Snickett (sp?) books? Just curious...always up for a good fantasy series.
ACC! You severely underestimate my sense of discretion...I do not, would not, ever discuss the "particulars" of any conversation with any person (friend, foe, celebrity, etc.) with *anyone*! I said I'd provide pictures, darlin, not details.
Okay, at a bloody table then. Not even very-obviously-PJ PJs? With bunny slippers? Hair in curlers? All right, name your poison then. (Nude, I don't think so. Much too distracting...wouldn't want to be held liable for a car crash.) (deep blush) Okay, okay--The Upper Cut, A Cut Above--easy to confuse the two! Aw shucks. I really thought I was on to something there.
As for AR's "off duty" clothing, I have my own opinion of it (especially those bowling shoes). However, I applaud him for having the dash to wear whatever he dang well pleases and whatever feels comfortable to him at the end of a long day at work. What a guy.
On to yet another topic, I have finished reading Artemis Fowl and am delighted to report that it is, indeed, very much like Die Hard with fairies! There is even a hostage named Holly, and this interesting little exchange: While I do not know ACC I would think she or he is just a fan and I do not recall ACC ever laying claim to knowing A.R. at all. I thought the anon stuff was to avoid spam and of topic talk.
BTA - Glad it is not you frolicking in pink Barb as the Melbourne fashion police were ready to matrix you in black.. yet will alow blue and white (Carlton colors)(LOL) Seems to me that ACC is NOT ME, Janine form Victoria. I guess it could be someone close to him - a friend?! Dusty Hughes is a writer and friend as is Peter Barnes?! I really don't care one way or the other. I really like AR for his professional life not his Private one. Who cares what he does in his own time? It seems life today is so superficial, especially where films are concerned....... so goes the saying that "you are only as good as the last film you made".... I guess we are all travelling with AR as his CAREER goes on. Nothing else matters. His friends would say that. Ruby as well!!! I didn't forget you!! Janine, Qld also likes the AFL and I have been a lifetime supporter of Carlton even now!!!!!!!!! Bye. ACC--you are a hoot!! Ella, so sorry to hear what happened to your site. I thought it was wonderful and very interesting. If you ever put up another site, please tell me! As to walking through Times Square in my jammies, I would probably not stand out too much. A man in a pink tutu in a coffee shop didn't. However, you assume that I wear pajamas-it would almost be worth it to have you walk naked through Times Square, but better not.... You mistake my meaning. I mean a situation where he is volitionally sitting across a table from you, such as a meal. Many of us have stood beside him, behind him, ahead of him or close to him in a theatre. Happy accidents do happen. Please do not bother the man. I doubt if he would be interested in a "friend" who would post the particulars on the internet anyway, and I would not be interested in encouraging such an action. Hi everybody, I haven't posted in a long time. It's nice to see the guestbook has settled down, it's a nice place to read again. It lost it's 'home-y' feel awhile ago, but I can see it's back. I really need a new Alan Rickman movie to ressurect my interest. I've branched out to Owen Wilson, Aaron Eckhart and some others. Oh yeah, Colin Firth, so when Love Actually comes out, I'll really have something to post about. Oh, ACC, you said the magic word: never. C'mon, make me a wager, darlin. But does it have to be "across a table" from him? How about seated side-by-side? I will, you understand, need time (barring death, 20 years maximum). I'm ready and willing to wager and, of course, I'll be providing pictorial proof. I'm not kidding, have rarely been more serious. I'll stroll through Times Square in my pajamas if I don't cough up the evidence (I'm recording this for posterity)...would you do the same if I came through with the pictures? Virtual pinky swear? For the record, I think Alan Rickman is a fab dresser and loved his pink and yellow plaid shirt, his tee shirts, black outfits, blue outfits, red outfits, jeans, white shirts,etc etc etc-and his campers. Alan Rickman is a class act, and would never "ogle" anyone. The context of the comment was that Mr. Rickman is not gay, and that he enjoys attractive females. A woman that would throw her mammary glands at him would not be very appealing to any man of taste. I can guarantee that you will never see him sitting across a table from Anna Nicole, for example. Or with any of us either, for that matter. My tropical outfit has never met his pink and plaid shirt, but if it did, no doubt they would just be "good friends", as his shirt is unavailable also. ACC: You know, to me, that is still the abbreviation for A Civil Campaign by Lois McMaster Bujold....
Anyway, ACC,.... you GO! Be anonymous! Power to the PC! Kudos to the Keyboard! now i'm going to have to rent DH in DVD form! Aussiegirl: please contact me at rbrlubberataoldotcom To embarassed: Yes and YES! Stezi,
just checked out your pics from AABA, fantastic, i love them, keep up with the great work. :-) I was there on one occasion when Alan wore the light yellow plaid shirt last July. The color didn't suit him and, frankly, I hated it. I called it his bowling shirt in jest. But guess what? He rented a bowling alley for all the cast and crew to go bowling after the show, so that might explain the bowling attire! As for anonymity, I personally don't trust anyone who doesn't sign their real name. I mean, even Alan doesn't usually sign as Snape. If I have something worth saying, I own up to it. Since we're discussing clothing, I thought Alan looked cutest in all black when I saw him in August & July. Just fabulous--he took my breath away. While in New York, I wore what I normally do--primarily black or a combination of black/white or black/gray. Also, I never noticed Alan ogling any big bosomed women... quite the contrary. In fact, one particularly beautiful and sexy girl was trying desperately to get his undivided attention when Jimmy noticed her, making a sly comment and pointing her out to Alan, but Alan just shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "Who cares?" Ali-Pat, I just saw your post about the hair stylist and "The Upper Cut". Have I ever mentioned that there's a place in Auburn (where I go to school) called "A Cut Above"? School rumor is, never get your hair cut in Auburn, some of those folks're a lil bit crazy, but I must admit, I ALMOST dared to try "A Cut Above" for Blow Dry's sake! But alas, didn't make it that far...lol How quaint! Is DH (not die hard) in DVD, and would the zoom/still feature on the DVD player lend itself to the venue? Oh yes Kate!! Tell us the reason to watch DH!!! Why, I can't imagine what you're referring to, Kate. I'm just a clueless little pure-as-the-snow-is-white lamb. (Baaaaatting my virgin eyes.)
Shizukadream, that was my site, which is currently down. The company that maintains the websites is having major tech trouble and accidentally deleted a bunch of sites...guess whose was in that number. They may or may not be able to salvage it, who knows. At first I had steam pouring out of my ears, but now it's actually quite laughable. C'est la vie, yes? If you want to visit our journal, here's the addy: Rickman Revelers.
"Floating" is the right word for where that script is. Not AR's best movie. (But there is still a compelling reason to watch it, oh yes, yes, yes.) Ali-pat, I gave Alexis a few listens but she's really incomprehensible. I've always assumed it was something like "I beg you don't go after him," but that doesn't match her mouth movement. Maybe a lip-reader would have better luck! Is there a script floating around somewhere? I know that my at midnight on June 20th, the local barnes and noble booksellers will be holding some sort of HP event for the upcoming book. Is anyone planning on going? I'm trying to drag my sister to go with me but she's being stubborn.
I would've bet the farm that ACC is actually Rima. Drat.
On a complimentary note, I'll bet Alan's pink-and-blue number was eyeing ACC's pink tropical print with salacious abandon. I don't suppose they were caught tangling in ACC's suitcase later that night?
Ali-Pat: I've been wondering what it is Alexis screams at David in DH myself. I've come to the conclusion that her part of the soundtrack was accidentally replaced by a recording of a raccoon and a cat fighting, and the filmmakers didn't have enough money to fix it. Hi Elena and welcome. Hope I spelled the name right. Been filming our tv show all day and I am going blind. No I am not famous cause I know everyone will ask. I wish. What is your favorite AR film-Elena.
I just re watched Mesmer last night. He is a great actor but the part really rots. He does make it a worth while flick.
That shirt is actually for sale at Norstroms. Believe it or not. Guess we know someone or he shopped there when last in LA or NY. Don't think any Norstorms in UK.
WOuld look great in anything. My bet is board shorts-why can we not get some really good pictures of this mans legs! I hear they are great. He is tall and "big boned" as it has been said but really narrow shoulders-chest-and torso???? Wonder if it is muscular legs or skinny ones.
I have now done myself in-better do make dinner.
Anyone see his nude appearance on stage years ago? Jessica NO, I was NOT playing Close My Eyes, I could have bet the ranch someone would make that comment.LOL. My brother, who is single, and I travel together all the time. Hubby hates to travel and I love to! Our all time fav trip, London with my teen daughter and brother. Regarding where Dark Harbor was filmed in Maine. Northport(I believe there was a Coast Guard station there) is in the mid-coast region. Not touristy like Bar Harbor, but very scenic. Alas, I have never been there but my brother has. The water temp. in July/August might, might, reach 60 degrees F. It usually hovers in the 50's. A tad on the chilly side for me. If you are familiar with "Seinfeld" think "shrinkage"!!! It's at least 3 hours from where I live. I cringe to think that Alan was in my own state and I was clueless. Oh and by the way, count me in as a poster who always posts under Troy08,never an alter. As for the person who asked about posting the Rima/Alan picture, I do not have a scanner and the photo is safely ensconsed in my memory album. On a side note, DH is my all time LEAST fav Rickman film. ACC - do you choose to be anonymous on the internet because you're *gasp* FAMOUS and we might know who you are?? Come on, be a sport and give us a clue!!!! I've captured some new and large Awfully Big Adventure pics of "our" man. He still looks great. I especially love him as HOOK! What a man! Enjoy Alan! Yes, lets not get nasty here. If we are going to discuss dress sense,bosom size, annoymous postings etc etc we could all be in trouble LOL. Any Rickman Admirer worth their salt knows why we are here!! how could anyone beileve ms. weaver could steal the show from any alien,let alone our favorite alien, alan rickman. you go lizard man. roll daddy. I'm starting to feel sorry for ACC. An intervention may be in order here. ACC-- I lived in NYC for some time and I wasn't totally into the NYC uniform of black black black. Although I admit I ditched all efforts to wear anything white AND ride the subway -- it just didn't work! But, I wore a lot of simple sheaths in prints and colors and enjoyed my walks to and from work each day -- unlike those dressed in suits and black that were sweltering!
(luckily, creative jobs allow you to be less formal in dress) It's been a while since I posted, but I've kept up reading. Life just keeps on messing up my AR time! AliPat and Tami, if you both loved Spock, too, we're triplets! Spoiler: My main question about Dark Harbor is why anyone male or female would find that young man sexually attractive? And her poor litle rich girl routine was really boring. She pines for a father who died 30 years ago and remembers the things he taught her when she was 7? I don't think so. My kids don't remember that I told them to clean their rooms yesterday. re: Plaid shirts: maybe it was a gift and he's really thrifty. My brother still has a few from the 60's that he wears sometimes (they are hideous). The Piano in PL had no pedals, and the sound came out of speakers on the sides. Helooked pretty good faking it. Why did Amanda have a grand piano anyway? He says at one point she can't play, but his new wife plays beautifully. Anyway, I'll be off for two weeks with my DH visiting friends in Europe. All of you try not to do anything too exciting, cause I won't read it for two weeks, and it will take me days to catch up! Maybe in our two days in London we'll spy someone I'd like to spy! Does anyone have a clue why I would choose to be anonymous on the internet? One more time...I post under one name only, and do not use any other name. I am not Fausta, Ali Pat, Rima, Joan, Aussie Girl or flaming kitties. Delighted to hear that someone else was cool and comfortable in NYC, besides me and Mr. Rickman, that is. After the first twenty minutes, I did not look like a tourist, and didn't attract any undue attention. So there's a "clue"-I am not a native New Yorker. Who cares, really. Maybe I should give everyone something else to mock and make fun of besides my bosom and my clothing choices? Aussiegirl: Hi! I missed your posts; welcome home! Gabrielle D: I can not get the images to come up because I don't know how to search by item #. I tried searching under Alan Rickman and Rima Horton, and Alan and Rima, Rickman and Horton but had no luck. Would you send me the pictures? Troy08 - hey would you consider posting your pics of the elusive Rima? I know that I have only seen a couple of press photos. Please? Hello! My name is Elena/ I am truly glad to join this site. I do appreciate all the information I've found here. Let me express my deapest respect and admiration to the best actor in the world - Alan Rickman. He is the most handsome, talanted and special man I've ever see, and I am happy that a great number of people all over the world share my oppinion. All I want to say is that I love Alan Rickman, especially his voice. When I hear his voice, my heart sinks, his voice is indescribable, it's a pure symphony of sound! He is irresistably charming, and I can't help admitting you! It's my first visit here. I also be glad to find new friends here. With warmest regards, Elena.
My e-mail: funny_fox@list.ru We enjoyed reading the message embedded in Joans posting. Made my day. A brief note to clarify, especially to those of you who met me in NYC last year, (and to clarify one question someone emailed me just now who wasn't there), while I do wear a "PINK, TROPICAL PRINT OUTFIT in New York" in the Summer, I'm not ACC; I post here under my real name. Lots of people wear them, even natives of NYC. Joan - that thing that Alan does that leaves you feeling for him even when he's punching someone out or about to deflower a maiden (do people still say deflower?) is called great acting. That's what he does so brilliantly as to make him unforgettable. Alas! (so begins my least favorite exchange in DKH) I have the article! The filming was done at a coastal estate called The Crow's Nest in Northport (which I guess is on the same island as Islesboro and Dark Harbor?). But get this--the hairstylist featured in the article works at a second floor salon called...wait for it...The Upper Cut! Gabrielle, AR did not play the piano in Private Lives, but he did an awfully good imitation of it. The keyboard on the piano was fake, and he moved his hands around in an approximation of the notes coming from a recording of piano music. The singing was, however, genuine. Sigh.
As for the filming of DKH, there was an article in the Bangor Daily News on December 22, 1998 about that very thing. It focuses on a local hairstylist and makeup artist who worked closely with AR and Polly Walker on the set. (I don't have my copy yet or I would share more--sorry!)
Any guesses out there on Alexis's garbled line of dialog? Gabrielle from NH. I believe that DH was filmed on the island of Islesboro,it's north of Portland about 2 hours on the midcoast- where my parents honeymooned 45 years ago. It's beautiful, but the water is FREEZING. I was up there in July a few summers ago and it was too cold for swimming-and I'm a swimming freak!! Aussie Girl welcome back I too am "I'm still trying to get over the visual image ACC conjured up when she admitted to wearing a PINK, TROPICAL PRINT OUTFIT in New York. As a fellow "good rack" gal I find plains much more suited to our particular figure type!" I was beginning to think that ACC is a Queenslander.LOL As you would know from visiting Melbourne that if it is not black you are not dressed especially for formal occassions. Lets face it I am jealous of you ACC you went to PL and I didn't. It gets to 95 degrees here yet I save the brights for Qld as it is appropriate. Nice to know that New Yorkers are more open to the many colours of Summer than I (altough I do add other colours to black yet I make sure it has nothing to do with the footy (AFL Another Melbourne obsession).
AR can dress or undress anyway he likes as long as it is public! Silky Kimino mmmm phew good idea Hiromi.
Hi! love AR whatever he wears. Has anyone thought about AR wearing kimono? There are various types of kimono here and I guess one designed for a wedding might be good for him! :) Good grief-it looked more appropriate in NYC on a 95 degree day than long black shirts, suits and winter clothing! BTW the comment on bosoms was made in the context of Rickman not being gay, and any woman meeting him that doesn't look like the back of a bus can tell that he is a red blooded heterosexual male. I am "adequate" and have no problems wearing prints, especially pink tropical in the summer. Joan, I think if you did call him and tell him it was OK for him to get angry -- he would. :~) Last one from me - I'm still trying to get over the visual image ACC conjured up when she admitted to wearing a PINK, TROPICAL PRINT OUTFIT in New York. As a fellow "good rack" gal I find plains much more suited to our particular figure type! This is sort of on-topic with all the talk of AR and fashion sense - The Weekend Australian on Saturday had an article on John Malkovich (and we all know HIS link with AR) and his new fashion label. Seems he's started his own fashion and design company "Mrs Mudd" and claims inspiration from Taliban "style icon" Abdul Salam Zaeef, former spokesman for the Afghan regime and ambassador to Pakistan (I kid you not!). Anyway, JM remembers hearing that Zaeef was exiled "for wearing his turban too fashionably" and decided that this was a man who deserved to be immortalised in fabric. His range includes "the Taliban coat", a "Nervous Breakdown" jacket and a "F***ing Commie" jumper - any colour as long as it's red. (I SWEAR this is all true!) The garments launch in select stores in London, Paris and New York in the northern autumn. Computers been out of action for a couple of weeks so I've got a couple of things to mention - Little ole man shirts? Just so long as he doesn't start wearing a T-shirt I saw a man in the other day at the shopping centre. It stated in very large, bold letters - "SENIOR CITIZEN - WHERE'S MY BLOODY DISCOUNT?" Greetings to the Guestbook. I, too, share a fascination with John Lennon, only seeing him once in concert, many years ago.
If anyone here doubts that AR can dress himself, go to ebay and look up item #3321015276. There is a pic of AR & Rima, proving she is not totally publicity-shy, and that she also has a nice fashion sense, on ebay as well, look at #3328148047.
I was wondering if anyone would know in which town Dark Harbour was filmed? I know it was in Maine, was it in Portland? Does anyone know anything about the filming itself? I was also wondering if AR actually played the piano onstage in Private Lives. Little things that keep me awake at night.
For the nicest pic of AR & Lindsay Duncan I have seen, search once again on ebay under #3328260868. If you can't get these to come up, I can send them to you, just let me know, but you'll have to ask me through this GB. I can't get email regarding this particular subject, as someone might read it!
Thanks for all your great & interesting posts, I have been enjoying them for several weeks now. Troy08, you weren't playing Close My Eyes, were you? (C'mon now, 'fess up.)
Red is also ze color of passion! And it makes you eat a lot. Never eat off of red plates.
Watch out for BLACK-AND-RED! In nature it often means DANGER. As clothing, it COULD mean the person has problems with aggression. In the play, "PRIVATE LIVES", do you think it's an ACCIDENT that Amanda wears a black-and-red suit? She and Elyot have a LOVE-HATE relationship. It's a common conflict in stories. ALAN RICKMAN often portrays characters that suffer...ALOT. But, sooner or later the good-guy EXPLODES. When he plays the cruel villian, he ends up not getting what he wants, but rather demoralized...sometimes DEMORALIZED TO DEATH! Even in "TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY", Alan's Jamie returns as a GHOST, and STILL feels a need to ask for Nina's love by catching a cold! Notice the warm, tender moment they share when she gives him a hot-water bottle. He's "freezing" and she's "boiling", who will win?...and Nina has alot of BLACK-AND-RED art in her apartment! I highly recommend this movie. AND I wish I could call ALAN and tell him he's ALLOWED to get angry, WE'LL FORGIVE HIM. Not only did I see Alan wearing one of those famous "shirts", I also got a picture of he and Rima together. The shirt,Ralph Lauren it wasn't, was that two tone baby pink/light blue number worn outside black jeans. The Rima pic happened quite by accident-she had just flown over to N.Y. and was visiting the theater the night my brother and I were there. He started taking pictures for me and by luck took one of Alan and Rima together as they came out the stage door. He had no idea who Rima or the other lady that was with them was. It was only after I had the photos developed that I realized that I had a picture of the elusive Rima with Alan. And for the record, she is far more attractive in person then many of her photos show. These pictures are proudley displayed in my memory scrapbook. After my brother and I had gone to bed(I was still basking in the afterglow of the play)my brother begrudgingly admitted that the play, and Alan were excellent, but his lights out comment was "that shirt was really ugly-I mean REALLY UGLY!!" A LITTLE OLD MAN SHIRT?????????????I don't think so. It was just a short sleeved, cool, comfortable shirt. I find the clip on ties, different colored pants, jazzy shirts kind of appealing, but then I have rather colorful taste myself, at times, and then I can be very traditional too. Could not find that link or photo. The wand shop is pretty cool though. Does he ever appear anywhere with Rima when a photographer is around? I cannot find any photos of the two of them in this decade?????? Strikes me as odd even with all the excuses and defenses they both put up. Anyone with a link or intel about couple photos of these two? Thanks. J I only saw a pic of the pink and yellow bowling shirt thing and I don't have a problem with it. It's hot and sticky in NYC in the summer! He needed something cool and comfy to schlep to and from the theater in. I think he looked adorable in it! But, to paraphrase No Doubt, "underneath it all/ he's really lovely." :~)
Well, I'll take the dingity dang shopping trolley and AR after Chandra has had a whack at his wardrobe ;-) (Kate! We must burn those plaid shirts of his!!) I think Joan has a point, AR must wear the little old man shirts because they seem fitting...only, I tend to think it has more to do with complacency than senior citizen panache. You know how your fashion IQ tends to drop when you're having a frumpy day and don't feel altogether attractive? I think the poor darling is suffering a bout of poor self-image and could use some ego pumping. (Da da da...not gonna say it ;-)
All right, my preferred color scheme is black and white. I wonder what that says about me. (A stretchy white top and flowing black pants is wardrobe heaven to me.) As usual, I must agree with Kate. I happen to think AR's just imperfectly perfect. And I'm okay with the old-man plaid shirts and the pink parcel and the trolley (well sort of) too. Picture of AR at the COS premiere , sorry I don't know how to link. http://www.thesnitch.co.uk/galleries/COS/index.php?folder=/Promotional/COS%20London%20Premiere%20Pictures&image=Alan%20Rickman.jpg§ion=Image Oh, for cryin' out loud, AR doesn't need a stylist! I have only seen maybe a couple of photos of him not looking impeccable. He is very into clothes, he cares about his appearance, he dresses himself. I say, let him be. Let him keep surprising us. And I don't think he needs any facial work either. He's 57, this is what 57 looks like. I'll take him wrinkles, three-tone hair, plaid shirts and all. The only thing I ask is that he lose the shopping trolley ... ;~) CLOTHING AND COSTUMES: First there was Zorro, dressed in black, then the Sheriff of Nottingham, all in black, then Colonel Brandon dressed all in black with even an all black horse...I said to my husband, "That must be the bad guy, he's all in black"...then Snape with his black costume. Black is a "power" color. Did you know that black ABSORBS all colors and reflects no colors of the spectrum of light? I think black clothing is elegant and rich looking. When I saw that photo of Alan wearing that yellow plaid OLD MAN SHIRT, it lead me to believe that perhaps he is a RELUCTANT sex symbol. Maybe he actually enjoys being an older man. Personally, I feel happiest in yellow-and-white clothing and only wear it when I'm in a very social mood. I like to wear black when I want to feel calm. Perhaps Alan Rickman often wears black when he's playing a role because he doesn't want people to know he's UP TO SOMETHING, as Snape would say. Good grief, I meant BEING a beach bunny, not chasing after them! The thing that I noticed about New Yorkers is that they generally did not seem to dress for the weather. 95 degrees and people walking about in long sleeved black shirts, suits, and lots of monochromatic-mostly black or subdued. I felt very self conscious in my pink tropical print outfit, until I saw Rickman in his pink and yellow plaid shirt! Comfort rules! My only word of advice is SUNBLOCK, if he is going to continue the beachbunny pursuit in his vacation time... Emma Thompson is the voice of Captain Amelia, the felion captian, in the movie "Treasure Planet". She is quite good as the character. Chandra, it's a pity that you (or I!) couldn't have seen him in "Private Lives," where the "turn out" supposedly was impeccable. As an artist you must know that many in the creative fields like to distinguish between work and non-work by not emphasizing the former's aspects in their off hours, i.e. emphasis on costume for effect. OT but explanatory- As a professional photographer who doesn't really take snapshots for fun, I am reminded of the great line in "I, Claudius" where the prostitute taunts the decadent maiden who challenges her to a "contest," saying "Your 'hobby' is my vocation, and I take my vocation too seriously for your frivolity. In my own case, my hobby is gardening." (is that PG enough?) But I agree with you on the Trent Reznor mien. I for one yearn to hear of Mr. Rickman doing more Shakespeare, where his subtleties would shine. PROFESSOR SNAPE is the reason I got interested in Alan Rickman. So, I re-watched "Sense and Sensibility" and realized that although Snape is a mysterious character, Alan's good-guy charm came shining through. Re-watched "Die-Hard" and remembered the scene in which Hans makes an ameteurish attempt at pretending to be terrified. In "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" it was bizarre that the Sheriff of Nottingham paused to put a pillow under her head. At the end of this movie, I felt so sorry for him, I wonder why? I was just on Tami's site and saw quite a few recent stage door shots from Private Lives run in NYC and he looked great! I take it all back, maybe the Chelsea Flower Show was a fluke, we can all have a fashion impaired day after all. Have you-all read any of those stage door stories? he sounds really tolerant, I'd dread going out there some evenings and being pawed over by strangers. - having all the tourists taking pic after pic with disposable cameras! eeek! Hi ,regarding private lives , Mr &Mrs Douglas as ELYOT &AMANDA [SCREAMS IN HORROR ] GOD FORBID ] cashing in again Michael ,Kathryn ? .Your no Lindsey Duncan and Alan Rickman .hope it does not happen PAT. May I add my 2 cents worth of fashion advice? Granted it's 2 cents Cdn. so take it for what it's worth. All men, unless they've let themselves go completely to pot(belly), look good in a pair of faded jeans, white T-shirt, and a soft black leather jacket. Leather and denim may not be for everyone but simple lines and comfort, comfort, comfort, rules. How can you exude sex appeal when you're being pinched and stuffed into an uncomfortable dress code. 'Course if you're "into" red leather thong underwear - go ahead - that's a little high on the ick scale for me but what you wear under your jeans is your business. Personally, picturing Alan walking toward me in a winter wonderland wearing a down-filled parka and a tuque takes my breath away. Hi Janine, lucky you, with a hot Aussie Mr. Janine. Reminded me of a couple of days ago someone asked me about the "muscular" guy she saw me with & the best I could give her was a blank stare til I realized she was talking about my husband!! The nerve of some women, eh ;)) Tami--thanks for the link to the article. I see that missed proper attribution entirely (duh). And I definitely agree that you and I came from the same pod!
Possible spoiler below if you haven't seen DARK HARBOR
I was watching Dark Harbor last night and every time I watch it I have the same nagging questions. Number one, why does Alexis pour the Young Man "a dab of milk" and then hand him the empty carton? Number two, what, oh what, is the indecipherable line Alexis screams at David right after he exits the boat house in pursuit of the Young Man? All I can make out is the first word, "David!".
Which leads to another question. Does anyone know if it is possible to get the DKH screenplay anywhere? I'm a bit visually oriented. I am a former graphic designer. (like AR! I'm a mom now) Anyway, I see AR in his movies, and he looks so turned out - Nottingham was so so hip - big shirts, slim legs ooo!, Snape is like Trent Reznor all grown up, women just want to save him from his angst and tortured loneliness, Brandon was perfection and so moral, too - Hugh Grant looked small shouldered and wimpy next to him - I saw "An Awfully Big Adventure", how sad by the way... but AR - you just have to watch him if he's there. But he's getting a bit older and he's got to take care of himself now! - I don't want him to look silly, like an old guy dressing hip, but I do want to keep seeing him doing a romantic hero thing and not necessarily enter the realm of Anthony Hopkins and Michael Gambon - doing that old guy thing. Less frumpy rain coats, more v-neck sweaters - you could never see someone relaxing on a sofa in that raincoat, that's what I mean. By the way, I'm now a yoga teacher and have some yoga for the face that could help him in a gradual way (without ever resorting to surgery!!)- should I write his agent with the book titles?
Really very off topic:
Something to lough about:
http://www.cutestuf.com/flash_0203/splishsplashbaby.swf hello to fellow LaLaLander Dee. We can ruminate for the others that it's hard to wear cool black everything here, no matter how slimming and Hollywood-mandated, when the temperature is, as is predicted for this coming Tuesday, 100 degrees. That dip into Dark Harbor will sound pretty good then, even sans gorgeous nudist actors. P.S. to Chandra--girlfriend, clothes do not make the man--er, search through the GB to find the nekked pic of AR, and remember, he was in Maine, where it's very, very cold . . . FastFilm, I'd have to agree with you that Chandra belongs here in L.A. only because she seems overly concerned with the clothes as opposed to the man (very important here, unfortunately, what's on the outside, not what's on the inside) jmwindy--I had the same thought about January Man, but then again, perhaps a script reads better than it ends up as a film. Chandra in Virginia, I am intrigued by the detail into which you delve as virtual stylist. You belong here in Hollywood,( although I believe you share locational origin with a famous talent also obsessed with the intricacies of personal couture, writer Tom Wolfe [who so consistently
"gets it right" with accuracy, aplomb and flash as to be comparable to what we like in Mr. Rickman I'd think.]) I would ask you if you've thought about the English climate for which he dresses, and his cultural/generational preferences, i.e., creative types who began work in the 1960's with its post-Beatnik/Birth of the Cool/Beatle-y inspired look of dark colors for all occasions allied with somewhat longer hair than is now fashionable. And nix on the khakis- way too American tourist! Claire, GREAT Photo's!!!!! I also saw on this show here, on Sunday night (CH10) @ 6pm, that Mr and Mrs. Douglas are going to be in Private Lives.............I do agree with Sue, she is too YOUNG...... more suitable for Eloyet's Wife. Janine, bring on HP1!!!! Still enjoy this one. Reading Unauth Bio about AR. I am glad it was written. I do not see much negative about him or his lady but iimagine as it has been said before that he gets sick of himself out there all the time. Anyone out there seen The January Man? Just watched it. Wonder why he took that role? Ali-Pat, I can't help but wonder if we were secretly separated at birth. First Alan, now John Lennon? He is my all-time number one idol. You are so cool! (except for the fact that you don't like Marmite) LOL Hi Sandy. Do you think Rima dreams of hot Aussie Mr Janine? hmm it is a funny thought. Actually Hugh Jackman said his wife liked him with the Wolverine hair as she had a thing for Lorenzo Lamars when she was younger. That would be a good low brow interview question for some stars. Who was your idol/hero/poster person. Has any interviewer asked A.R. this? Sunday Times Culture Magazine 25th May Glad Alan refuses to dwell on the effect he has on some women. No actor should take this stuff seriously. Janine is so right about "...Jamie fading from neglect...". My husband is a decent man but 26 years is a very long time to be married. The same guy year in year out. The thrill does disappear and a little harmless fantasizing about Alan adds spice to an otherwise routine cook and clean kind of day. I don't think my husband would mind tho' to be honest I haven't exactly told him just in case :) Knowing my husband, he's got his own fantasies. In fact, I'd bet big bucks Rima has her own fantasies and not one of them involves Alan. Ironic, yes? Ali-Pat: You can read the original "Have You Seen?" article here: Have You Seen? Toni R--what is the source of the article you posted? It sounds vaguely familiar, but if there was an earlier allusion to it on the GB I haven't found it. Thanks for posting that, by the way.
Pam--congrats on your sighting. How I wish I had been given the opportunity to see my (pre-AR) hero, John Lennon. Finally seeing his flower-strewn memorial last year in Central Park was almost more than I could bear. Double deleted. I have noticed that my message was sent twice...don't worry, it will happen again. Seriously, I went back and found what I did wrong. Also, thank you to all of you who responded to my previous comments. One of the first things I learned about Alan Rickman was that he is quite sensitive to criticism. Perhaps he never heard that the fear of abandonment is genetic and everyone has it. Criticism can trigger that awful question...what if I end up all alone? I 've noticed when he plays a character who is offering helpful criticism, he's very careful to use a gentle tone of voice so that the criticism is not taken as rejection. Another source of his charm. Hi everyone,
As i was watching Beatles DVD Anthology tapes today, I thought of AR and how much everyone is after him just we wanted our "beatle Boys" back in the sixties! You just never know, you may run into him unexpectedly somehwere too..
Coming back from London in the 70's to Mass. we had to go through New York (no directs to Boston then) and while preparing to get the Boarding pass etc. I looked over, and saw Jon Lennon (he had just moved to NYC at the time) -we made eye contact..it was to die for..he was beautiful..no one believes me when I tell them, but I always say you just never know--AR may be around some unexpected place too--cant wait until he comes over here again--Anyway, have a good one--Pam Evening yall. I don't know how many this will effect or actually, who will give it a second thought, but Private Lives will be done in Birmingham, AL in June. Anyone familiar with the area, sounds like UAB is putting it on. Anyway, dates are June 18-21 and June 25-28. If anyone's interested in more info, feel free to e-mail me. gillejcATauburnDOTedu. I think it'd be great to see the play again and just clearly use my imagination. Yall have a lovely evening, or morning in some cases. In the new issue of Entertainmet Weekly(summe music issue featuring a whole lot of people I have NEVER heard of)Best Buy electronics store has 4 ads for DVD's coming out on June 10. There are ads for Giant,The Right Stuff,Once Upon a Time in America and Robin Hood,Prince of Thieves. The slogan is "No collection is complete without it" The RH cover is beige on top and bottom with a picture of Freeman, Costner, M.E. Mastrontonio, Slater and Alan Rickman in the middle. The ad calls it a Never Before Seen Extended Version. Guess I will have t pony up the bucks and buy it! Alan looking in the mirror in the morning: "Hello, you gorgeous stud. How shall I drive them mad today? Hmmm, yes, the voice shall be low and silky today, I think. And I shall move like a dancer and be very polite and courtly. And, oh, yes, a little dab of my top-secret man musk behind each ear. That ought to drive them insane. God, I am good. Ha!"
No, I don't think it's volitional. I think he doesn't even completely understand what he's got and the sexual attention makes him very uncomfortable. "I cannot take responsibility for people's fantasy. I can't think about it, I can't live with it and I won't dwell on it." --- AR, quoted in the Guardian 1/3/98. HAVE YOU SEEN?
A second look at what everyone's talking about
5/23/2003
As the razor-sharp Wolverine, the Marvel Comics' mutant with the wounded soul, Hugh Jackman is a magnetic presence in "X2: X-Men United." With a taut glare and voice that's at once sensual and menacing, the Aussie actor commands the screen. It's difficult to grab the attention when he's around - even if you are Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry. Yet, Scottish actor Alan Cumming makes it look like a breeze as he teleports himself through "X2," bringing the prayer-touting mutant Nightcrawler down to earth for viewers.
With his skin covered in midnight blue, Cumming relies on his eyes, voice and gestures to do what he's made a career out of - stealing the show from the leads. He's just one of the new breed of character actors from the other side of the Atlantic who unassumingly walk into a film and run away with the accolades.
It was, afterall, Alan Rickman's portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" that is the stuff of movie lore. Here was a performance so deliciously wicked that it's credited with saving this film by pulling attention away from Kevin Costner's wavering English accent.
And the list goes on. The hilarious Rhys Ifan put on his skivvies and stole the show from Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts in "Notting Hill"; Jason Isaacs' cold blue eyes nearly undid Mel Gibson in "The Patriot"; and Clive Owen was more than memorable as the hitman in "The Bourne Identity." The League of Obscure British Actors (www.ar.com.au/~jriddler/ba/league.html) is a Web site devoted to these guys. You'll find links to familiar names including Ewan McGregor, but also Gerard Butler ("Reign of Fire") and Tom Hollander ("Lawless Heart").
Here's a look a just a few of these scene-stealers and other films you can watch on home video.
• Sean Bean: An intense gaze and inner turmoil that smolders near the surface made Bean a great villain in the blockbusters "Patriot Games" and "Goldeneye." Those same characteristics also made him heartbreakingly vulnerable in "Stormy Monday" and allowed him to play the mother of all death scenes in "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings."
• Cumming: No one plays slimy better than Cumming. He's the perfect tonic for the "I-don't-have-a-date blues," playing creepy unwelcomed suitors in "Circle of Friends" and "Emma." Yet he could still play cute and awkward in "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion."
• John Hannah. He first came to U.S. attention as the soft-spoken gay friend in "Four Weddings and A Funeral," then took a romantic turn opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in "Sliding Doors." His gift for comedy can be seen as he bumbles his way through the two "Mummy" films.
• Rickman: He was, by far, the best thing about "Die Hard" and "Robin Hood." In both, he played the charismatic bad guy with such gleeful skill it was hard not to root for him. Rickman's even better as the brooding romantic lead, playing the loving ghost in "Truly Madly Deeply." And it was Rickman, not co-star Hugh Grant, who won hearts in "Sense and Sensibility."
• Tim Roth: He first garnered international recognition in Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction," but the prissy villain in "Rob Roy" brought him a bevy of award nominations. His best role remains his most unrecognizable: General Thad in "Planet of the Apes." Pretty-boy hero Mark Wahlberg didn't stand a chance against a sneering and snarling Roth.

>>>I wonder if he knows what it is that he is doing to excite all these women, and if he would stop doing it if he could...do you think it is volitional, or just some personal chemical thing, like pheromones?<<<
I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you ;) It's volitional and that's all you need to know. At least, that's all I'm going to tell you.
All I can say is they picked the right man to play Snape. He is so talented and lets just say black is deffinetly his color. Thanks, Claire! I'm so grateful for wonderful sites like yours and Suzanne's, where so many otherwise unavailable AR articles and photos can be enjoyed freely. But sometimes I'm just so curious to know which photos graced which articles. Some way back there was a query about GQ's - there are TWO GQ issues, one from 1991 with the pool picture that Suzanne uses on her page, and one from 1992 which has The Hand picture that I use on my page. That issue also has THE Hair .. plus back to the camera etc etc .. Examples on
CPP - back after weeks of no change due to computer trouble. Thank you my *backups* in the US and Australia -hopefully none of the picture collection lost! What makes AR unique is his work. Fantastic actor, the most versatile I have seen, and when you add to that his personal charisma, and everything already mentioned (including the way he moves!) he is very special. I do enjoy all of you who contribute to the GB and read it nearly every day. To me, his magnetism comes from within, if Kev.C. and he switched bodies for a day, this entire web site would be history that quick! Do you agree? I am sure AR is well aware of the lusting that goes on after his beautiful self. He does read some of his fan mail. He is just humble enough to file it in the back of his brain and carry on as normal a life as possible. He is mentally strong enough to keep his ego in check and do his work the best way he knows how. Why is he so appealing??....handsome, tall, chisled facial features, good hands, great nose, mouth and eyes, nice hair...deep voice...shall we go on?? How many other men his age look so wonderful?? I'm not implying that I think anything about sexual orientation, but to the media, homosexuality is still scandalous! it fuels the imagination of the masses, it thrills them! That kind of info is like a big chewy candy bar that lasts and lasts and lasts. A witty journalist here once wrote about people, charisma and fame. Would A.R be sought afer if he was the guy that works in the office. If he was your local hairdresser would he have poeple flying from abroad to have a trim. Or would their faces be glued to the tabloids not smelling the roses so to speak or those about them. I tend to think A.R personifies masculinity. Those who pine for him smell the roses of your environment your Col. Brandon, Jamie is probably fading away from neglect while you dream on. I cannot answer ACC point, I am sure there are many actors who crave fame would harness this energy if they could. I hope A.R. does not turn the spell off. Take one woman that thinks he's sexy, then multiply that times one million, and that gets pretty scary sometimes, especially in this day and age when many women are very aggressive sexually. He has mentioned that he gets some pretty racy mail, and he does tend to be somewhat reserved and private about his personal life. I wonder if he knows what it is that he is doing to excite all these women, and if he would stop doing it if he could...do you think it is volitional, or just some personal chemical thing, like pheromones? I wonder if it ever upsets him or disappoints him because he sees himself as a serious actor and wants to touch his audiance on a high level than sex. There is a Higher Level? see about the clothes, the man needs me to dress him and or undress him either way, he needs my help. aaahhh i can smell his cologne on the Xpensive clothes i buy him. just the right hint of color, just the right cut, to fit his oh so chizeld physique. belle, belle donna! capiche? ooh daddy. if i were alan i'd want to touch my audience, in particular one fan, that's me. touch me anywhere honey. oh, i hope i haven't offended his tender sensibilities. or do i? anyway i'm sure alan can handle it baby. love ya daddy. home james. Aw, Joan, I'm sure he's horribly offended that a legion of women--of all ages, shapes, sizes, ethnicities, etc.--are lusting after him. God knows it's every red-blooded male's worst nightmare! I don't know how he sleeps at night. (Will reserve perverse/witty comment.) On a serious note, you're absolutely welcome to comment on The Man's otherattributes. When you've been here awhile you'll realize that the discussion varies often enough, from his looks to his talent to his worldview. That's what makes us such a wonderfully diverse and fanatic crowd.
If I were AR I would be flattered, *insanely* flattered, to know that at 58 I'm still cookin. More power to him.
Whoever mentioned the "old man shirts", I'm with you. Surely AR's not *that* much of a fashionista if he thinks those pink and plaid numbers he wore during the NY PL run were *sexy*. (Yuck! :-P) I cringe whenever I see a picture in which one of *those* shirts appears. Someone please, for the love of God, tell him to never, never, ever wear anything that looks remotely like those shirts again! Love The Man, hate the fashion sense (at times).
I wonder if Alan Rickman ever feels violated by the talk of his sexual attractiveness and sexuality over the years. I can understand how it happens, afterall, most of his characters have a playful nature that makes him seem approachable and therefore trustworthy. But, I wonder if it ever upsets him or disappoints him because he sees himself as a serious actor and wants to touch his audiance on a high level than sex. Maybe she was talking about herds when she said scanky. Quite frankly, I think she implied there was something "scanky" about being gay. I think there is a huge difference between "skanky" and "scanky". When I figure it out, I'll let you all know. Chandra: I am wondering if you realize that your previous post implies that there is something "skanky" about being gay. Is A Concened Viewer from FOF the same as A Concerned Citizen from here? Also, somebody dresses him? oh come on, like somebody shops for his lack of food in the fridge too. He didn't even comb the mango as far as I can tell from that photo. -- He may be fussy about his appearance when working, but otherwise?? For heaven's sake you HERD AR was gay!!! Ah the herds abound in the Scottish Highlands!!! Lovely sheep and cattle! Ah to be a shepard with my herd! *sigh* I dream of the round-ups, the roping, the shearing!! Thank you for that brilliant post!! I do not think this guy is gay! -- I've been around the block a few times and I would think that the rumour mill would be rampant if he were. England is very tiny really, compared to the states and kind of like a big high school in the arts, there is no way he could hide being gay for this long. Somebody would be knowing something scanky... No WAY!!!!!!!!!! That is so not right! AR wold never do that. Sides, I herd he's gay. don't you mean "mango'd"? (orange hair=mango)
and i wonder who the daddy of sharleen spiteri's baby really is. didn't Alan say he was really fond of her or something like that?
MMmmm,got completely tango'ed the moment I saw Texas "In Demand" video,I thought my ovaries were going to burst!!Now this is just me thinkin' out loud so please don't get too irrate but it occured to me when I saw the piccy's from the P&D bash that perhaps Sharleen Spiteri (A) has a v.shrewd agent. (B) Is planning to extend her talents to acting. (C) Bears a striking resemblence to the girl in Winters Guest. (D) Is making a comeback,cos her exposure in the tabloids exploded after the A.R vid,and her pregnancy and baby photo's have featured regularly in the scandal rags.These are not bitchy digs cos I like her,she's sassy ,scottish and cool,and I'm sure A.R has impeccable taste! You turn on Beethoven's "Moonlight " Sonata and write a story for FoF! That's a good question Joan, exactly what I would like to know! What do you do when you're in love with someone who you'll most likely never meet, or spend more than five or ten minutes with them if you do?? I guess that's what this guestbook is for, so we can "vent"... I KNOW I've been Tango'ed LOL Had the joy & priviledge to meet Mr Rickman at the stage door during the extended run of Private Lives in London,found him to be humble,reserved and gracious,have a lovely photo and great memories.Gossip columns are supposed to be bitchy and contentious.I doubt Alan has even read the article,less cares.Orange tints,sounds like he's been tango'ed!!! Sometimes I find my interest in Alan Rickman painful. Like the Sheriff of Nottingham, I long for someone I can not have. Alan gets you emotionally involved with him through his work, but then what? What do you do with all these warm feelings towards him? And now from the "Almost On Topic" department. I just finished reading a review for a cookbook entitled, Truly Madly Pasta. I'm sure it is a good cookbook, but what really amuses me that the reviewer calls it "oddly titled". Sounds like a perfectly good title to me! Be still my Heart!!!!!!!!!!1 Here's a scan of the photo from the book: Be warned, though, it's a large file. If you don't have a "fast" computer, it might take a bit to download. I love that "hair photo." There's another one I like where he's standing in an alley with his back to the camera, his hands clasped. But even when you can't see his face he exudes such charm it's incredible. I just wish there were companion photos to those, with him looking up from the chair, and turned around facing the camera in the alley! Was the photo Sue posted from an issue of GQ magazine? OOPS! How embarrassing~just noticed I misspelled my own name! Please don't start calling me "Kimbery." LOL Kimberly, or Kim, is just fine please..... Ali-Pat: You're correct on the photo! It's the famous one we Rickmaniacs know as the "Hair Photo." (Though, thanks for sharing that other GQ photo, Sue! I love that shot, too. Hey, I love just about all pictures of the man! LOL)
And, Ali-Pat: Your "Lists" have been a great resource. I look forward to the day when you finally get that website up and running. Also, I know you mentioned discussing "A Pity in History" a while back. Well, I finally read the play. I can't say it's one of my favorites, but as you stated, it is timely considering the current world affairs. Surprisingly, a couple of Croop's (AR's character) lines reminded of AR's film "Rasputin." Specifically, these lines: CROOP: This place is full of sin. Do you feel it? And, these lines from the play: CROOP: When you look around you, what is it you see? You see what? SPILLMAN: Pride Just brought to mind a specific "seduction" scene from "Rasputin." LOL And, I also find it significant that both Croop (A Chaplain) and Rasputin were men of the cloth. At any rate, thought I'd drop those impressions into the GB, for whatever they're worth. Tami: Your story -- when you met AR-- was wonderful! (posted on May 22) I envy you so much!!
As to the incident that AR declined to sign gSnapeh, I wondered if the result might have been different if AR was wearing a Snape costume and they met in a HP setc Well, maybe not. I think asking a Snape autograph is like asking AR to write someone elsefs name. AR is not Snape. The person I love is AR who performs Snape, not Prof. Snape. It was me! But forget the kid-part!!!!! My daughters are 16 and 17 years old, but Alan doesn't know. Rima knows it now!
It came as a surprise when Alan signed the Harry Potter book (he also knew it was Dutch, although he doesn't speak German or French very well!!) as Professor Snape. He even asked if my daughter would like that. Well, she did!!!! And now my other daughter is jealous, but then again, she has an autograph of Sean Biggerstaff. So, who is the lucky "kid" now! Hey Kimberly--glad you liked the GQ book! The photo in that book is the same one (I call it the Hair Photo) that graces the home page of Fausta's Rickmanista Review. Callette for Prime Minister!!! I've been "surfing the net" and something something "cyberspace" and trying to get those high techno sounding words into my vocabulary. There is SO much GARBAGE out there. My computer experts warned me. This site is by far the most fun. Some of the comments, even those off topic, are very insightful and there are some pretty creative people here. Still, so many unanswered questions remain - what does Alan drive, eat, listen to, read, watch? Is he religious? Vegetarian? Dear Alan: I read on the internet (so it must be true) that you love roller coasters. What an amazing coincidence as I too love roller coasters. We have something very important in common. What would you like to do about this? Anything? Nothing? ok. You are very sexy. Love, Sandy. Mr Rickman did look good 11 years ago. I was just a tadpole I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I have this down as the AR GQ Pic Sue, Is it possible to find and Guesrbook the GQ cool picture for us? Oz alert -> Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will play on June 15th at 8.30 p.m. Giving you all a ..well it was on the T.V...excuse for watching it...(how many times is it now... hmmm?) For the seriously addicted here is your medication. - Monday, 16 Jun 2003 at 4.20 pm. Friday, 20 Jun 2003 at 10.10 pm. Saturday, 21 Jun 2003 at 10.35 am. Saturday, 28 Jun 2003 at 8.30 pm.

The Optus magazine for June promotes the event with a interview with Chris Col. It is a nice interview by Jenny Cooney Carillo. It is interesting in that it the mention of his (CC) daughter plays Susan Bones who is sorted by the sorting hat yet doesn't utter a word. (My son will be jealous there is an Non Englishman in it, I have told him even if we could go to England he could not be the next Harry as he is Australian and will have to settle on being Janine Jnr with other aspiration for fame). There are photos from H.P. yet alas no Snape A GQ magazine photo of Alan Rickman is featured in the book "GQ Cool," by Jo Levin. According to the photographer, Gerald Foster, who photographed Alan for a GQ (UK edition) cover on March 16, 1992 in London: "Alan was my first cover for GQ. He's very particular about his clothing so I take the entire contents of the fashion cupboard to his house for his perusal. I have fond memories of sitting in Alan's kitchen drinking endless mugs of tea and munching on Hob Nob biscuits as we discuss the shoot." This sounds to me like a man who very much cares about clothing/fashion and his image. I think Alan goes for a "Classic" look and I think he generally looks great. (I, personally, could have done without seeing the "grandpa shirts" he sometimes chose to wear at the stage door in New York~particularly the pink/blue and yellow plaid numbers. LOL) I also owe a big thank you to Ali-Pat for pointing me to this book.
i admire mr. alan rickman, big time! he is so cool and suave *sighs* truly a great and humble actor. ~were not worthy, were not worthy~ ^-^ im outta here. The guy behind him looks like he is trying to dress like Professor Snape. Look at his black coat! I have read that Alan is very particular about how his characters are dressed in film work. A good example is Die Hard where Alan insisted that Hans dressed that way. How perfect! I would guess that he needs no help shopping for clothes, but maybe groceries instead. In one interview transcript I read, he opened the fridge and found a half a container of yogurt and a half a can of flat coke. I am paraphrasing obviously. Wouldn’t it be great to be his personal shopper for groceries? Whadda ya mean, he needs help getting dressed?! He looks more stylish than most, I think. He seems to go with classic looks more than the trendy, and that seema to work for him. (However, if he ever needs help tying his tie or something, I'd be glad to help...hee hee.) I'm new to this site, so forgive me if I come off as a bit crass. I have a little crush on Snape, I developed a big crush on the Sheriff of Nottingham when I saw Robin Hood in the Theater years ago. I mean like I came out of the movie wanting to go to right to London and look up this guy, Rickman. I happen to like the fast walking, slamming door quick turn around and snarl thing he does with both charactors, it's funny, really manic. Anyway - two things. His Snape although very attractive may be too attractive? The book Snape is a greasy, skinny, sallow , bony handed thing. (Ick) and based on these last two posted pictures, he really could use some help in the shopping department, granted, most men do not know how to dress. About Snape screen savers, I just pull swipes from saved picks off Snape sites for personal use, it's easy with a mac. Then I keep them in a file and change my screen pic as I see fit - I have some great shots and would be glad to guide you to a site or two if you email me personally I probably shouldn't just give you the pics, the folks that have the sites don't like that. There's an eastern European graphic designer who had some of the best quality shots I've seen yet -- I photoshopped them to lighten them up a bit, you can see more detail, like buttons and stitching detail on the costumes - fastinating. Here is the Rex pic from the Pearl and Dean bash ES Metro Magazine Pick of the Day
"Some complained this was too long (152 mins), and others preferred The Lord of the Rings, but ignore the naysayers; the boy Potter does the business. This is fun, in a Just William, Jennings way, with the added bonus of magic, monsters and baddies galore. Alan Rickman stands out as the menacincg Prof.Severus Snape, but is hebad, or just a bit anti-social?" @Rickfan888 and others: Here is the link with the signature of Mr. Rickman as Prof. Snape for Stezis daughter:
http://www.alan-rickman.nl/private_lives2.htm
In any case, isn't it heart-warming to see that the Daily Mail feels it its duty to trash AR forever after to punish him for eating innocent little children for breakfast, when you think of the type of racist etc behaviour the Mail encourages as a rule?... ;)) - Anyway, I wouldn't interact with these journalists too much... It will only confirm to them that they are doing the right thing: ie get reactions and readers, and they will do it even more, and to others as a response. Best ignored. I know you have to live in the UK to be aware of it, but yeah (see Sue's description below), they're *that* kind of "paper". Oh, and the hair looks f..ff...ff..fine to me (you try to say 'fine' with your tongue out;), it's *mostly* its natural colour (yeah!), and it's reaching the length it had on the Amnesty International birthday show (best hair day:) Thanks for the photos etc :) Well, I find it hard to believe that Alan would act angry about signing for a child. Perhaps he simply disliked this reporter or was in a bad mood that night. Here's a little story: Last summer in NY, after one of the evening shows I was waiting at the stage door with my son, a friend, and her husband. After getting pics and autographs from Alan, as the crowd began to disperse, my friend's husband asked Alan if he was going home to bed or out for a drink and Alan hesitated, leaned in close, looked us in the eye and said, "Well, I do have a PRIVATE LIFE, you know!" Then he stepped back and laughed and we all laughed too. It was his way of telling us to mind our own business without making us feel too uncomfortable. I met him 5 times at the stage door and never saw him behave rudely to anyone, not even those who were rude to him. I think he's a class act and nobody can convince me otherwise. I'm looking forward to seeing my comments in print and also your responses...isn't life fun! Imagine how you would feel if someone who had written horrible things about you and intended to continue doing so in the future, came "sucking up" in a totally hypocritical way asking a favor off of you. The problem is that Mr. Rickman was too honest with the critic- instead of being as superficial and false as the critic was, he snarled at him. Deservedly so. There are also comments in "that book" that are unflattering to him and his lady, and I imagine that took some time to get over also. I am sure that he tries not to read the stuff, but it can be difficult to overlook, sometimes. Thanks magpie!!! I thought I'd have to stay up all night reading every article on Claire's great site to find it--which would probably be quite enjoyable if I didn't need any sleep. I think AR was putting in a good effort to be gracious to the press folk, whom he mistrusted for good reason, and I like the way he stood up to them when the circumstances warranted it. Wrote Daily Mail too-response "sorry to upset you." I wrote back and asked if he had many negative responses to the article and he said "inundated"! Ha. Ha. Good job Fans!! A man with such grace derserves people to treat him with some respect. I think mr. daily mail got the point. Jessica It isn't, Emily. But that just goes to show you one reason why I don't like people impersonating real people. And it doesn't matter if they read the GB or not, it's disrespectful.
Loved the picture, Sue, thanks! Hello Rima!!!!Just a question, how can you be the real Rima ?I knew that Alan Rickman doesn’t even has a coomputer!!!!!So how can you wriite things at the web?????? There a new picture of Alan on rex features. He got a big smile and his hair look just fine! Sonoma - I know the artical you are refering to. It is a press conference sort of setting, with seemingly innocent but inflamitory questions put to AR. The writer notes how angry but not actually rude he is in response. Find it on Claire's page. The artical is called Truly, Madly, Rickman. I don't think I believe the "sodding kids" story. Alan comes out to sign autographs after all his shows rather than going home or out with his castmates. Also, though I can't remember who it was (Was is you, Stezi??) someone told of her meeting with Mr. Rickman and asked him to autograph a Harry Potter book for a kid, and he asked her if he should add Professor Snape as well. And though the show had nothing to do with HP, and though he didn't write the book, he still signed it, and volunteered the Snape part. I think Alan has proven to be more than magnanimous and patient when it comes to signing things for people, especially kids...maybe that person just wanted a story. Very funny. I'd seen that quote before.More info on farting machines can be found at farts.com. I don't have one, but they do look like fun. I'm trying to find an article I read online once--it might have been on Claire's site--it was some sort of press conference and AR didn't seem to be in a very good mood. All I remember is that the article made it seem almost as though the journalists became afraid to ask him any more questions. Sorry this is so vague! I do remember someone made a comment about RADA and AR confronted them about it. Does anyone remember this or did I dream it? I was just looking at Georgina's post about the original "sodding kids" incident. OK, AR was not gracious --he is apparently never very gracious to the press, which may not be the smartest thing in the world, but he's far from the only star who behaves that way.
But the thing is HE SIGNED 'SNAPE' ANYWAY! This fact seems to have escaped the Daily Mail writer. Oh, it was "illegible"? How dare AR have illegible handwriting! To GQ: The Leaky Cauldron Harry Potter website posted AR's remark in question, which was made to Ian McKellan. Scroll down to "A Wizard About Wizards." Ella,AR mentioned this to Ian? From whence comes this info? Whew...that was a day-long scroll! Someone had WAY too much time on their hands...anyway... Thank you, Georgiana, Research Master! It's a relief to know AR didn't get fussy with a child, but that remark isn't exactly flattering, either :-\ (He ran out of Prozac a few days before the incident...) Children were not asking at the previous incident--it was a drama critic. Here is the post, which was to the GB on 3 December 2001, from Steve:
Daily Mail Monday 3rd December, page 22 col.1:
"The twin joys of professional acclaim and financial success have failed to raise Alan Rickman's public demeanour above that of misery guts. When a distinguished drama critic approached the dour-faced star of the Harry Potter movie (he plays Professor Snape) seeking autographs for his young children, Rickman sighed in exasperation before accepting the proffered pen. But when asked to sign as Professor Snape, he snapped "My name is Alan Rickman. I don't give a toss about your sodding kids!" After much grovelling, he grudgingly relented and scrawled an illegible Snape before bolting. Playing obnoxious villains obviously isn't too difficult then, Alan?" Hmm, AR seemed to think it imperative to tell Ian McKellen about the notorious "fart machine". I wonder if a non-wacky-sense-of-humor kind of guy would deign to mention the incident? Probably not, I'm thinking. (Sorry, I can only claim one joke from yesterday--not methane emissions related, however.)
I heard that AR got a bit belligerent and said "sodding kids". Of course, this could be hearsay. I get the impression that he didn't handle the situation in a very dignified manner, but we're all aware of The Man's moodiness, so that comes as no surprise. He was probably just having a rotten day and someone caught him at the wrong moment. I wonder if it's even legal to sign a character's name? Isn't "Severus Snape" J.K.R.'s (and Warner Bros.) property? Well, if it is on the up-and-up I don't see what the fuss is about. If I portrayed a character from a children's story and was asked, by a child, to sign something as that character, I would gladly do it. But that's just me. I would like to know what was going through The Man's mind at the time.
I'm wondering if any one can tell me the difference between the regular MESMER dvd , and the director's cut dvd. I have the regular one . Does the director's cut have extra scene's ? Jeez. Thanks to the topic of conversation on here earlier, I can't seem to look at certain pics of Alan without thinking he either 'just did' or 'is about to'. Way to go, people! LOL! Kate-The Daily Mail is an extremely right-wing homophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-Arts tabloid rag that purports to represent *Middle England* (whoever they are!!)Unlike the likes of the Sun etc who make no bones about appealing to the masses with page 3 t*ts etc, The Mail likes to be a moral guardian whilst all the time revealing shocking stories of this that and the other. So, Yes I guess they wouldn't be AR fans nor he theirs!!!LOL I believe I have heard of John McEntee reporting in the U.S.
Anyway, he’s just jealous. How many throngs of
estrogen-enriched women
does he have following him these days?
He probably sent his kid for that autograph. LOL
CdC, isn't that interesting? This was the incident that got a mention last year. Mr. Rickman apparently declined to sign "Snape" to a Snape photo for a critic (not fan) who wanted it for a grandchild. The implicit concept was that anyone could sign "Snape" on a photo.
I later asked Mr. Rickman to sign a Snape photo for my granddaughter, indicating that, at age 5, she had no difficulty distinguishing an actor from his role. He signed, "To Zelda, Love, Alan Rickman." It was a present, which she treasures, for her sixth birthday. We sent him a picture she did of "King Rate," . . . "as plaed [sic] by Alan Rickman." One more thing about the Daily Mail gossip column -- what is the political agenda of the Daily Mail? Is it a right-wing paper? Because that could be another reason why they're taking potshots at the Man. Thank you CdC for the email to the journalist. Wasn't there some hoopla last year about him being mean to a journalist or his kid asking for an autograph? Was that the same journalist? CdC: Thanks for posting your response from the Wicked Whispers guy. It wasn't much of a response and not really a "sorry." To translate his explanation (AR was rude to autograph seekers who wanted him to sign in HP mode)-- somebody wanted him to sign an autograph while he was either working on set or wanted him to sign as "Severus Snape." Either way, it was disrespectful and AR had every right to tell them to sod off. Yes, Sue, thank you for the pic and description. Callette, a lot of people just scan first lines and move on if they're not interested. Just keep posting, people will eventually respond. (Lots of stuff here, remember--can't respond to everyone.) I read this guestbook almost every day. I love it. I browse the first lines of almost every post. If I am not interested, I move on. I do not mind seeing silly or funny things. What I do mind is the endless conversation about what is funny and what isn't. And I do mind the fact that if you are not someone who posts here every day, you cannot start a new subject. Well, you can but you will not be answered. Regarding the snide remarks about AR in the newspaper I was curious, so I wrote and asked why the columnist was making such nasty comments about Alan Rickman. Here is the reply I received in my email this morning:
"sorry but he was rude to some autograph hunters who wanted him to sign in Harry Potter mode last year. JmCE ed WW I agree with Anne whole-heartedly, and also with Chris to some extent. Growing up with multiple brothers, I got a big stress-relieving laugh out of the thing. Yes, I am guilty of cracking up at stupid humor at times. I would miss the parting of it were not allowed and would probably loose interest in the web site if every day we read the same words about how sexy Alan is. (Which has been established and will never be in question) Has anyone ever noticed that AR enjoys and is marvelous at doing comedy? What would we be missing if all of his work consisted of R&J or S&S? Dogma was not my idea of sophistication, but AR chose to do it. Would he have if ACC were his agent? I think not!
May I suggest that when some of us, and you know who you are, want to get rowdy, that the party is moved to the empty chat room just sitting there not being used. A note could be posted and we could then come back in a more civilized frame of mind. Chris wouldn’t need to scroll so much. Ouch!2p
Crikey! Everytime I come here, I realise why I don't come here... I agree with Annes comments... BTW.
Thanks for the photo Sue. It's LOVELY... Slightly OT - Just to give an inclination as to how big the Chelsea Flower Show is (In size and status) The BBC shows a live prime-time hour-long report every night this week. The marquee covers the size of two soccer pitches and there are acres of outside diplays too. It is held in the ground of the Chelsea Hospital which is home to the Chelsea Pensioners, who are old soldiers and the biggest bunch of rogues you are ever likely to meet! As well as a competition and show-place for the best of the worlds horticulture it is also very much on the *Social Calendar* and the first day (Monday) is the day when the Queen and lesser celebs get to see and be seen. Many years ago I had a relation who worked at the Hospital and I was able to view it before the crowds and I can recommend a visit to anyone who has ever had even a passing acquaintance with a flower!! Anne, in chat rooms that's accessible, but MOST people do not come to this guest book to read pages and pages of "light hearted conversation" if it's not AR related. I know *I* don't, no matter how funny it is. But I agree, humor is SUPPOSED to be funny, so I'm thankful that the crass posts were removed, which weren't funny at all! I have just been reading the guestbook (thanks for the pic, Sue!) and I came across something I have seen in chat rooms before, and on here once, and I feel I have to ask this.It's off topic I know, but bear with me. Why is it that someone (or someones) will start a light hearted topic of conversation, and it will go on for a while, indicating that a few people at least are getting something out of it.Then someone else, usually just one someone else, will act snotty about it, call the humor immature (*gasp* how awful!) and then, everyone who was laughing and having a good time shuts up and feels bad. Adult people who have stressful lives and responsibilities sometimes like to cut loose and be silly. It is not a crime. (It can sometimes lead to crime, but that isn't what I'm talking about.) The only people I have ever encountered who worry about childish humor are about twelve or thirteen years old. Humor is supposed to be FUNNY. Sometimes it is sophisticated. Sometimes it is droll. But I have never heard of a serious comedian being very popular. Sure, there are times in life when we HAVE to be serious. Is this one of them? I love your site & I would like to appear in your guest book. Thank you. Excessive potty humor and mean spirited posts removed! Somebody deletes all that cr*p please. It's only 'fun' for the two kids who filled pages of it. It's 5-year-old humour (cringe), boring and time-consuming to scan through for the rest of us. Wow. The hair is getting longer indeed. Love it. As for the Chelsea Flower show, it's a very, very famous London event. It's practically an Art show. Of course he would be there. Sheesh! I wish I'd never posted the damn photo..;) OT-I have already stated my opinion and indicated that I would discuss it no further. Believe what you choose, but I do not post under any other name on this guestbook, and I am accountable for my opinions. I cannot imagine why anyone would care one way or another, and do not wish to waste Suzanne's bandwidth further defending myself from unfair accusations. Let's talk about Rickman, shall we? what withered dandelion of a writer who just figured out how to operate a pencil, thinks "it" can put down our Alan's phat hair. as we ladies have known for years, just because you're grey "down there", doesn't mean you have to be grey everywhere! rock on Alan daddy. robino Awright, girlfight!!!!!!! ACC, take off the invisibility cloak. We all know it's you. (Don't you love joke names, my arse.)
Old Folkster, I personally don't think it has anything to do with "riling people up". I think some people are just bored and get carried away with themselves. Of course, when ACC begins whining that changes matters. Her apoplectic admonishments would spur anyone on. Might as well tattoo "come and get me" on your forehead. Good God. Shhhhhh--secret word of advice. Sometimes folks (usually quite young folks) say things just to rile other folks up. Oftentimes, the best tactic is simply to ignore them. When that happens, they usually get quite bored and go away. Everyone loves a good laugh--it's good for the soul! It's just too bad that what some people think is hilarious might not be funny at all to others. If not everyone laughs along, it doesn't necessarily mean that anyone lacks a sense of humor--maybe the joke just isn't that good. mortianna, sonoma: Thanks! You've been so helpful! We're all agreed (well, for the most part) that humor is welcome on the GB. However, there is such a thing as *excessiveness*. Remember the agreement to host parties on FoF? (Thirteen page document, it was signed in triplicate?)
Be kind to the natives, for they do not always take well to maniacal humor, which, occasionally, barely passes for the workings of a sane mind... I just hope Mr. R. hasn't been into any exotic mushrooms a la Dark Harbor. Who knows what effects those could have on the digestive tract? However, magic mushrooms could have a nifty effect on the mind. Pink or violet, boxers or briefs,who cares? it's the thought that counts! Er, is that the right word? Thought? Nah, somethig else...something big...or not big, does it matter? I can't remember.It'll come....to me. I'm sure it will.heh. A pink man purse could be custom made. A man purse wouldn't come in pink, would it? The horror! didn't Sue say it looked like he bought pot...er, a pot? heh. I would like to come to the defense of Mr. A Rickman. As a professional herbologist myself, I can vouch for the fact that real men do indeed go to flower shows. In fact, I was at the Chelsea show myself, where I picked up some excellent seeds at a booth staffed by one Woody Harrelson. I shall plant them directly in my hydroponic greenhouse in the lower level of my dungeon.
Julia!! the lupins are delphiniumsLOL Alan: Look into my eyes, deeper, deeper. Now, repeat after me, "Real men don't go to flower shows, real men don't go to flower shows." There he sits, all broken hearted, tried to act but only....sorrysorrysorry! Toonces-He did! Didn’t you see the film or what? Hallelujah! Another reason to picture Alan Rickman! Does anyone else kind of picture AR whenever they hear Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah? I do. KfC flips burgers THERE?! Damn. Another place I can't go anymore. Honestly! Boinky the house-elf says Mr. Costner should go back to his job as master burger flipper at the In and Out and leave Mr. Rickman alone! House-elfs have their own powerful magic, you know. Don't tempt me, Mr. Costner. Hey, Kevin Costner, why didn't you let Mr. Rickman give you the sound thrashing you deserve in Robin Hood? Stop criticizing my new writing job. A guy's gotta make a living after water world! He looks like the sun's in his eyes.It's so cute the way he has his sunglasses hooked on his shirt like that. Or maybe I just think so because that's what I do with mine when I'm not wearing them! Grey bloom? Dour?! I feel the need for a new voodoo doll! I like his mouth best. The hair and the h**ds are fine, but the mouth rules.
Alan can come over and trim my hedges if he wants....Hee hee... No Costnerization of our hero! No No No!
The pink bag looked good with the blue shirt.
A little something for me? You shouln't have! I particularly like the two level effect with a little path down the middle and the new shrubbery added.The lupins are lovely as well, yes, very nice.
What a Lupin? Is he growing out a mullet? That hair at the back of his head looked suspiciously long... And another thing: Are those flowers *lupins*, by any chance???? Mwahahahaha!!!!! He's probably picked up some pink hair dye as a surprise for Rima. I can just see him coming out of the bathroom with a towel on his head, saying, "Honey, I've got something I want to show you... Alan's bag matches the hair in the background. Maybe he took a sample to take home and show Rima? Why was Alan at a flower show in the first place? Oh, who cares. He looks so adorable in that picture! Who is that person in the background with pink hair? Link fixed. S**t Why can't I make a link anymore!! Sorry Suzanne!! But it works!!
Here is a pic of AR at Chelsea from Rex features (Looks like he bought a pot LOL!!) Cathy - that little snippet was just a tiny column hidden away in the middle of yesterday's paper - only spotted it due to my trained eye for finding the words 'Alan' and 'Rickman' a mile off, LOL. Sadly there was no picture to prove that his hair really was 'cringe-making'. Having always been a fan of his hair (with some, it's the h*nds, with me it's the hair!) I'm in complete disbelief... CdC, You may want to try Claire's lovely site. She has numerous interviews ARchived and some were originally on the KelClancy site. I've been perusing the archives and came across a reference (May 1998) to an interview in which AR actually discussed his private life. They said the article was called "Rickman's Worth" and that it was on KelClancy's site. I did find an article by that name on another site, but I don't believe it is the one mentioned in the archives. Does anybody know where I could access this interview? I took a look at the photo at Rex Features and I think AR looks great, as usual. It's always nice to see him enjoying himself. I wonder what's in the little pink package? The Daily Mail doesn't even merit comment! For everyone looking for a Alan Rickman convention I may suggest going to http://rickman.meetup.com It's a site that helps arrange meet-ups so you can meet people in your area that share your interest AR. Good Luck!!! Becky, how do you find that article in the Daily Mail? I can't find it..any pics besides the one on Rex Features? Hm...Maybe said writer of the Daily Mail column would much prefer a man better suited for his or her ability to appreciate quality...perhaps Kevin Costner. Just a word of warning!!;) Last time The Mail did an anti-AR thing (a year or two back) they received e-mails and turned them round for their own advantage LOL so take care. Here is my email
To W.W.
As magical as a Black Rose. Inspiring as stormy weather. Beloved as a child's smile. The Alan Rickman a true English prize.,P.
Um, looks like the Daily Mail's Wicked Whispers column has got it in for Alan (from yesterday's paper, 20th May);
"One of the most bizarre exhibits at the Chelsea Flower Show yesterday was an old grey bloom with curious orange-brown streaks on top. So what was this wooden-spoon winning exhibit? Step forward dour thespian Alan Rickman and his cringe-making dyed hair."
They just love to be scathing about our hero (hint: wicked.whispers@dailymail.co.uk ...) Toby, oh wow! I envy you for seeing that on TV. I turned my TV off just before that was coming on I guess. But I understand your memory of the RR. Not a day goes by that I don't think about that trip, sitting in the theater and soaking in all of my surrioudings and shivering the whole time with nervousness (is that a word, yet?). Seeing Private Lives is still the greatest thing I've done with my young life and my memory revolves around those few hours I spent in the theater and outside the stage door. Thanks for bringing it back to me so clearly. Kudos yall! Have a great evening! (Mornin in some casess.) I came home from outside activities sometime after 10:00 PM tonight. As I passed by it, I punched on the TV. Dancing and Billy Joel music caught my attention and .... there it was! The Richard Rogers Theatre! It was a NBC Nightline story on "Movin' Out", the show that booted "Private Lives" out a week early. They showed clips from "Movin' Out" rehearsals and the show, including close-ups of the stage and the theatre. What a beautiful house it is! I sat in the first row twice to see our man in PL. The floor boards on the stage I had actually touched, the gold on green decorations in the house, the red velvet seats including the seats I sat in -- I could recognize, re-feel, re-smell, re-live the marvelous sensations! The gods gave me a brief gift tonight! O/T again, sorry yall. I'm working on this. Lee, if you still check in often, can you e-mail me or call if you still have my cell number? gillejcATauburnDOTedu Thanks! **Oops!** Sorry for the mishap! I think I used too much Wand Polish! LOL...Sorry! Pardon. Is a "wnad" anything like a gonad? Hey! Who let KC out of his cell? Kevin! Get back in yer cell! I'm gonna tell the Master!**stomping down the corridor** Oh Professor!...... They could be brothers, you know - Look at the nose and the forehead, The sandy hair, The jawline. there's a reason Nottingham was "Raven" - so they didn't resemble each other too much. Costner is innocent, by the way - he never tried to screw over our hero and favorite all-around screen guy, he was essentially clueless and that was perhaps the problem. Old laundry though.
An AR convention?! Who'd want to convene to yap about that talentless has-been?!? What y'all REALLY want is a Kevin Costner convention! Don't lie! You KNOW y'all think I'm cuter, more talented, and WAY sexier than that dried-up crumpet. Hey, at least my hair doesn't look like a mutant skunk! I would be very interested in web sites for nice Snape screen savers. Sure, sure, there's going to be an AR Convention! And we're all going to go dressed up like Dr. Lazarus and Snape. Is there going to be an AR Convention? I was reading some previous posts and was just wondering. Hello, I ran across this page while looking for Snape swipes - photos for my "snape of the day" wallpaper. I will be back. Does anybody know if AR reads his fanmail? Jessica, if you go to the archived Guestbook pages around March 14, you will see that a number of us posted about our impressions of "Collateral Damage II." There were rumors of extending this at the time. Thank you, Suzanne, for deleting the spam. @Jessica of Annapolis: http://520032563143-0001.bei.t-online.de/Homepage.htm.bac.html - Click on the link above and enjoy the pictures. ;-)) I just have some informations in german of a lady who was there. Short: It was nice and Mr. Rickman was wonderful. (We knew that, didn't we? *gg*) Post below and other spam deleted. Could the person of poor taste desperate to leave their mobile be deleted. I mean this is an pg 13 site. FYI, The "King of the Hill" show with AR's voice is on tonight, channel 11 (which I believe is Fox) at either 11:00 p.m. or 11:30 p.m. I think this is West Coast, USA, but I'm not sure. Here's a link to check out http://www.tvguide.com/listings/search/SearchResults.asp?I=365901&Zip=91106 Did anyone catch AR's night in Collateral Damage? I wonder if that will be performed anywhere else? I heard it was fantastic but really really heavy and hard. Dee-thanks they had what i needed at the link you gave me.
Must day I am a huge fan of AR singing in Truyly Madly Deeply. WOW. I spent day watching it while working at home and i never tire of it. Ashame they did not record entire song of Jodie Mitchell Holy Wine. He needs an album. Yes i have signed the petition. What is he doing now that Love Actually has wrapped? Anyone know? It has been said he is "most like himself" in TMD? Wonder if so-if so move over Rima. Ha. Ha. Sorry Rima. The greatest respect to you Thanks for the translation, Mortianna. I'd love to see Snape with a big grin on his face someday--I wonder if we will? Laughing would be even better...ACC, I found this on the internet: Japanese is like a true tone language in that pitch contrasts are used to distinguish between the meanings of words. Hmm, think I'll watch Die Hard again, paying extra close attention to Hans' voice. Thanks for giving me the idea, Hiromi! hiromi - that means: Alan Rickman again - looking very un-Snapish with this grin. *g* - means *grins*. Lisa, sonoma and a concerned citizen: Thank you very much for your quick messages which are great help!
Lisa: Could you please tell me what the following German means? They are photo captions written under the photos of AR in a web page (LONDON PREMIER) that Nathalie posted on the GB lately.
noch mal Alan Rickman
sehr unsnapisch mit diesem Lacheln *g*
Thanks.
Do Japanese words depend on tonal quality? I know that Chinese words may be the same word, but have different meanings depending on how they are said. I would think that a person accustomoed to listening for tonal variations would be very aware of such a thing in a film such as Die Hard. I don't know how detail oriented Mr. Rickman is, though if there are any actors onboard, perhaps they can educate us in this area? Nathalie from London,m It was great to see those wonderful Photo's!!O/T I read an extraordinary post from "Prof. Pedantic" (thur.may 15 @ 11.32;03 PDT)........ HOUGHTON mifflin Co? What an entry.......! Will sit up with back absolutly straight on Monday........ I always did like English Studies.I Really understand what she had to say........ Gwenevere, according to the Amazon info, the RHPOT special DVD has 12 extra minutes on it and interviews with the cast, so I am hoping for more Alan stuff!! It also said "vintage" interviews with the cast. All we can do is hope...... Has anyone ever seen Alan Rickman and Leonard Cohen in the same place at the same time? Separated at birth, I tell ya! Does anyone know if the new R. Hood have more AR in it? Or what is added to the new version?
Good Evening. Rickman shows up in the strangest places! DH found a reference in By the Sword, an epic history of sword fighting, by Richard Cohen. "Even the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham (played by Alan Rickman)in the 1990s film Robin Hood: Prince of Thievesmuses to his cousin, as
he whets his sword, "Spanish steel...so much stronger than our native blades." A fencing reference will earn AR points with DH @Hiromi: Did you notice that Hans Gruber "tried" to speak german several times, to make the audience believe, he IS a german terrorist? *ggggggggggg* Hiromi, please watch Die Hard again soon! Hans Gruber was my introduction to AR and he's great. That voice burned itself into my brain. I think you'll be shocked that you didn't remember him in it. As for his voice going lower, I'm not sure. I think it would be easier for a non-English speaker to pick up on a subtle change like that because if you don't understand the words you'd focus more on other aspects to try to find meaning. It could make sense, since as the movie goes on the situation becomes more grave and a lower voice would be more menacing. Did your friend notice when he switched to an American accent to fool...whoever that other guy was? The cop guy with no shoes...(smile) Sorry, the message below with "H" is sent by me, Hiromi,Japan.
I'm sorry that the name is not shown correctly. I'd be delighted if someone help me with my question below.
Thanks. A Japanese friend of mine, who is running an AR fan site in the Japanese language here in Japan (she does not speak English) said something interesting that I want to share with AR fans. Although she doesnft understand English, when she watched Die Hard, she gsensedh that ARfs way of speaking English changes gradually throughout the film. She says that AR speaks in relatively high tone in the beginning, but the tone gradually becomes deep. Also, she thinks his way of speaking English changes. But I donft knowcbecause I watched the film many years ago, at which point I was not an AR fan, and I donft remember AR in it. Ifll need to watch the film soon. Do you think what shefs saying makes sense? Wefd be delighted if someone could help us! My favorite AR film or should I say gmy favorite Alan in his roleh is, "An Awfully Big Adventure." I agree with you, Georgiana. Marvelous. AR is showing up (is it a bar or something?) and hefs not saying a single word but his eyes express complex, mysterious, sexy, and ---Ah, I donft know how to explain this in appropriate English adjective! --- feelings. He made speechless. Hi all! I am sorry if this was brought up already, but I have been taking care of a sick relative and haven't been able to read back on the Guestbook for a couple of days. I just saw on Amazon.com that the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves special edition DVD will be released on June 10th. I thought it was going to be September, so I was happily surprised by this new release date! Once again, I apologize if you all know this already, just wanted to let you know just in case. I pre-ordered mine of course!! Thanks for all the great Alan info on this great guestbook! "I was reading a piece on film premieres and apparently it usual for the stars to be allotted a *minder* to shepherd them around for photo-ops/interviews etc." Sue
Nice work if you can get it! Where do I sign up? LOL
Thanks sooo much for the From Sleep And Shodow links, Suzanne. I love the dance on the table: "Ohhhh mad, mad let us beeeeee!" Hahah.... Where did you buy it from? :) Thanks a lot for the links, Suzanne. Suzanne & Sonoma: Thank you both for sharing the FSAS files! Thanks Sue,
I am composing my "AR minder" resume as soon as possible.Ha Ha. Lee, I think we had this discussion last year and came to the conclusion that the woman was probably part of the PR team as she and many other *escorts* all had the standard colourful brolly. I was reading a piece on film premieres and apparently it usual for the stars to be allotted a *minder* to shepherd them around for photo-ops/interviews etc. Great pictures of "our man"
Does anyone know who the woman with him is? Hi All, I see that there was great week on this GB. Many thanks to Stezi and Sarah for sharing. Stezi, I also really like to know which reading from Prevert and Brecht it was and who read it. Did you ask him why he had chosen this particular poem, what does it mean to him?
I also have something to share with you. Someone had taken pictures of last year HP London premiere and there is some of our man. If you want to have glance this is the link:
BTW, is there someone here who lives in London as well and could tell me where I could find a library with video where I may watch some AR video like R&J or Rasputin? Morning, all. I just listened to a "Fresh Air" interview in which author Eoin Colfer describes his book, Artemis Fowl, as "Die Hard with fairies". He hastens to add that this description is more about the tone of the book than the plot, but it is still enough to make me want to read it (and its two sequels).
When I am sad Galexy Quest cheers me up. When I am feeling romantic or nostalgic I watch TMD or S&S. When I want a laugh RHPOT (for the right reasons) or QDU (for the wrong reasons). If I am being a letch and want to pretend I am interlectual R&J or B.C. I like Blow Dry although I am person,like many others, is touched by friends and family who have died of cancer. I cannot share that one with the family as it makes them too sad. Unfortunately DH, AABA, CL, Rasputin and Mesmer are on my list of one day I will Ebay. O/T, as usual... Carolyn, deary, Sorry, I've lost your e-mail address (in the moving process) again. Can you e-mail me? Thanks! And to the GB, I think I'm back now yall. I've missed yall. So what're these two new clips of? I don't think I've ever heard of FSAS. Am I really missing something? Kudos! The March GB and some of the other months in the archives still aren't working (sorry about that!). I moved them to another server and am in the process of changing the links. But here are the links to the From Sleep and Shadow Videograms:
From Sleep and Shadow - Part 1 (FSAS-pt1.exe, 13MB, 11 min, 55 sec)
From Sleep and Shadow - Part 2 (FSAS-pt2.exe, 12MB, 13 min, 5 sec)
P.S. I'm still working on the Tango and Mesmer documentary Videograms. Thank you for your patience! Carolyn dear Carolyn, if I'm not mistaken, the 2 videograms for From Sleep and Shadow (parts 1 and 2) were right here at the Guestbook, I believe gifts of Suzanne. I checked and I downloaded them on March 20th of this year, so they must have been posted right around that time--I'm sure I downloaded them as soon as I saw them. I have to vote Sense and Sensibility as my fave Alan movie. I loved the book eons ago when I read it and he was just exactly as I had pictured Col. Brandon. And when I read it, I also always saw that character as the well, heartthrob, I guess, for lack of a better word. I always thought Edward Ferrars was a wuss and a fop and Brandon was honest and real. So that probably influenced my viewing of the film later.
Which is weird, because I'm usually the type that prefers movies where sh*t blows up and not chick flicks. Independence Day, Matrix, Armageddon...if stuff blows up, I'm there.
For those of you who are interested: I've scanned a copy of the text of the play "Pity in History," by Howard Barker. Alan played the part of "Croop - a Chaplain" in this BBC tele-play. So, if anyone wants to the read the text while we wait for a video to turn up, here's your chance. If you'd like a copy, email me at thetaatcomcastdotnet. I'll foward the text as a Word attachment. *sorryformülling*
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004RUPL/302-0229996-2775268 Oh, the dokumentation/film had the title: Todesspiel (1996)
Baader-Meinhof... a time I just want to forget. It moulded my childhood, the terror, the kidnapping and murdering, the bomb-attacks against important german people...
To find out, that these terrorists hided themselves in the German Democratic Republic. With a new identity, with a normal job, normal marriage, having children...
They killed people, didn't care about other lifes, healthyness, didn't think about other peoples families... and were living savely with their own families...
Oh, it doesn't just sound bitter, IT IS BITTER! Well, there is already a very good german documentation about the kidnapping and murdering of Hanns-Martin Schleyer (= Hans Brenner). It was brilliant... Well, lets wait and see for the movie. Alan Rickman in it? I will watch it! Sonoma: is the videogram [I'm not familiar with the term] available online? If so, where? Thank you, my dear. Witch Lisa, there have been reports about a possible Baader-Meinhof movie since before Private Lives. Another red herring, I'm afraid! (Can't seem to get to the site search to verify date, however). actually, Peter Pan is being redone, and Hook/Mr. Darling is played by Jason Isaacs, Lucius Malfoy in HP2. Not a bad sight, either. If there is a scene in the film like the one Alan is doing in AABA, I shall take comparative notes. Hi all,
Thanks Kate for the DVD information. I reset the DVD and my son enjoyed his inspector gadget 2 movie very much. Thanks.
I watched AR in An Awfully Big ADventure while my son was at school. He was so wonderful in it. I think if they ever make Peter Pan again they should cast him as Captain Hook..how many of us would join his ship?? Ay matey-sign here---
Anyway, have a good one--I am going to the video store today and try to find some DVD's for sale with our man on them..
Wish me luck..
Pam Die Hard has to be my favourite Alan movie. It has quality and quantity Alan time. The other movies I've seen are HPotter (not nearly enough Snape) and Robin Hood. Alan is the only reason to watch RH - Costner is so lame it's sad and Alan is sublime. At the risk of sounding like a violent psycho-type, one of the funniest scenes is when Robin escapes from the church and Alan vents his frustration by beating the guard. He beats him and then goes back and beats him again. Really, I'm a very gentle soul but cannot keep a straight face when watching this, in fact I'm laughing even now. He's very funny and steals every single scene.
I think I would enjoy TMD and actually found it on tv a few months ago but Saturday night in Canada means hockey and the Leafs. This weekend I'm seriously searching for TMD, Blow Dry and Rasputin. To those who celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday, have a terrific long weekend and be safe. hi girls, thank you for setting up this wonderful web site. alan is well.. gorgeous, handsome in every form of the word and that sexy voice of his just drives me wild every time i hear it ..ha ha . valerie xx P.S. Honorable mention to "Dark Harbor" for its obvious assets. My favorite--the one that hooked me good--is "An Awfully Big Adventure." It's only flaw is the long wait for our man to show up in it. (Okay, yes, I'm ignoring the jumper business...) But then you get that series of shots where he is clearly in the scene and doesn't say a word. Marvelous. And that is just the beginning. I love the humor of the film, its ambience, the complexity and little brush strokes of all the characters. A lovely little film that should have gotten more play than it did. And that laugh! Sue, don't do it! Don't do... *BANG!*. Gasp! She did it. Nah. She's still there :). Stezi, thanks for your report, argh, I wish I'd been there too. Not jealous or anything of course, ah, ah - but definitely envious! Say, any chance of telling us here or on your site who exactly read what besides Alan? I know you put a list of what was read and who read but I'd love it if you could match the readings to the readers, what you can remember. Maybe Sarah can do that too here? I take it David Hare read from his own - who read from Prévert? And Brecht? I am curious about these things :)Thanks. Links fixed. Slinks off quietly to library with gun to do the decent thing..... Oh, according to ScreenDaily.com Cate Blanchett is up for B.Potter:(( So looks like another red herring. OOOOPS!! Sowwy!! (It does work though LOL) Here the Link to that Sky News piece on Beatrix Potter film. This site is for AR, divine I'm a little late on this and I know it's not a movie, but my current favorite AR piece is From Sleep and Shadow. I like it because I can almost imagine I'm seeing him onstage, something I'd love to experience but probably never will (I've only seen the videograms so they aren't front row seats, but I'll take them!). I love how physical and exuberant the role is, yet it really does cover a gamut of tones, and I like the writing a lot. And having just read The Seagull and Closet Land, I appreciate its uplifting ending. ACC, for some reason I feel an urge to whistle to you! Silly, isn't it? Jessica--do you mean audio clips? If so, try Tami's site http://www.nd.edu/~tchapman/voice.html I am noticing sound option is down on the site? I need some research and wondering if anyone knows of another place to find sound for AR? Thanks. Susan, it's stupid techie stuff that I'm trying to resolve. I can't say when it will be up and running again, sorry. To go directly to the journal: Rickman Revelers Sarah, if you don't do a GB post of your experience, (Please do!) please add me to the list of individuals that would love to get an email of same. Thanks! Mine GB fellow's wit doth shine as a thousand suns.
Glorious laughter! How thou ticklest mine ears and causeth thee to forget thy troubles.
The sweetest rose wilts in thy presence, for what are honeyed blooms of silken perfection compared to the God-song of a thousand voices raised in harmonious ecstasy?
To wit! To wit! Be light of heart and shine truly, shine madly, shine deeply as a thousand suns.
OT, sorry. Ella, Rickmanland is not accesible today, for me anyway! It says "site not located." Anyone else having this problem? OT--Sorry!!! Just wanted to remind everyone there is a lunar eclipse tonight beginning 9:00 p.m. EDT (I think). Here is a site you can check out. http://www.cranbrook.edu/institute/learning/lunar_eclipse.shtml So sorry, off topic
Kate from SF please Email me with your address I got some other AR stuff to send. robinsky5@hotmail.com http://movies.go.com/movies/W/wanted_2002/index.html
Don't post a lot, but was searching something else on the above movie site and ran across this...apparently Alan is in talks to be in it. Haven't read the book, anyone here read it yet? I have to say Harry Potter, if only because Severus Snape's subdued sexuality endeared me to all things AR.
Beth, get on the ball, girl! It debuts June 21, and you get a discount for pre-ordering through most major bookstore chains. (I think you get it at half-off if you pre-order at Borders.)
Thank you, Pam!
BETH, I believe the 5th Harry Potter book comes out June,21 Formatting fixed. That's weird. Wonder what happened to my formatting and one of my sentences? Anyway, the Beatrix Potter film sounds good, doesn't it? Hope the rumor is true. Ahem. I believe someone asked why it is that people use "jealous" when they really mean "envious". (Raps pointer on desk) Please pay attention, kiddies.

In conclusion, you will note that usage of the word "jealous" or "jealousy" as a synonym for "envious" or "envy" is quite appropriate in certain syntactical situations. I hope you've taken notes; there will be a quiz on Monday. Sue, according to a GB posting on 3-29-01, there were plans for a Beatrix Potter film starring Emma Thompson to be directed by Bruce Beresford. AR was supposed to play Beatrix's secret admirer.
Sounds good, eh?
BTW, we in the cellar of PL House choose An Awfully Big Adventure as our hands-down fave. Everything AR does best shows up in this film at some point or other. Stezi, what a great day you had! I'm surprised AR didn't mention that May 11 was our (his and mine) anniversary! I'm sure he remembers the fifth person on the right outside the stage door at Private Lives that night last year! I remember! I guess those flowers I got last Saturday were actually from my family for Mothers Day. My fave AR film is Rasputin for the general wonderfulness of the whole product and Truly madly Deeply for his general scrumpitousness. I don't actually like many of the films, just mainly the scenes he is in, as he is always the best actor in the movie. I have soft spots for all of them though, but my family only watches Die Hard and Harry Potter (s). Hey guys
When exactly does the 5th HP book come out?? I know it's this summer, but I want to get my hands on it before it sells out. Let me know! Thanks MY fav. AR movie.... Oh, how hard to pick just one... Should it be Rasputin, because of the rather risquay scenes, and the brief "nudity"? Should it be Robin Hood, because he blows Kevin Costner out of the water, and made the movie memorable? Should it be Harry Potter, because he's got the evil, but sexy thing going?? Oh, too many to choose from. Ok, I have to say Sense and Sensibility. Just because he's so sweet, and he says my name in the movie!!!! I wa just reading Sky Movie news and saw that a film of the life of Beatrix Potter is to start in the autumn directed by Bruce Beresford. No actors named yet, but it rang a distant bell somewhere in the mucky hole known as my memory. Wasn't AR mentioned for this long agao or am I mistaken??? Please,please Sarah, would you mail me your report of the event. Or anybody else who got it. That would be so nice of you. Anyone know where Alan is to be appearing in theater in the future? Any intel or appearances or what he is currently up to? Truly Madly Deeply is his best film! The kinda guy you want to spend the week making love with alright. My favorite AR movie is also Blow Dry for the same reason as JULIANA's, he get's to be a dad. I'm looking forward to Love Actually too I hear he has children in this movie. I will always have a soft spot for Quigly Down Under though, It's the movie where I first encountered this talented gorgeous,gorgeous man. Stezi's report of the "Cries From the Heart" was wonderfully descriptive. I very much enjoyed it. Juliana, "Blow Dry" is one of my favorites as well, but the difficulty in deciding one is a favorite over another, each is excellent and unique. I may have about 8 favorites! I'm so happy...It hurts. Does it need to be *repeated* that silliness was specifically relegated to the FOF by the Mistress of this most excellent site? For heaven's sake "ladies" can you all stop sweating the small stuff? Don't worry! Be happy. Oh Dear,
I just tuned in today for the first time and didn’t realize people were upset at the “ virtual party “ on Saturday night. Cute description of Alan's reaction to this GB with the screaming, the running and the slamming of doors. Alan has probably developed a fairly thick skin by now, or are actors thin-skinned I can never remember. He's been around for awhile and must have experienced a number of rejections (too tall, too handsome, too sexy). Besides, what red-blooded male could possibly object to a following of adoring women lusting after him. Sandy. Or even perspective!!! (sorry had to quickly correct that before the speeling police arrived!!) Oh Sarah!! It's always nice to get a different perpective!!;) Many thanks to Stezi for her Cries from the Heart report...no need for me to add anything, I think she said it all! Pam, did you know that your DVD player has an "aspect ratio" control that lets you watch films in either letterbox (widescreen) or full-screen, no matter if the DVD is widescreen or full screen? Check your manual for the settings, they're easily changed. (The aspect ratio setting is wrong if the picture looks too "stretched out," if characters are too elongated). I have "Sorcerer's Stone" in a widescreen format, but the letterbox cropping is too severe, too much of the picture is lost. So I watch it in full screen instead. I bought the full-screen version DVD of "Chamber of Secrets" for that very reason and am very happy with it. Jessica, Dark Harbour was never released here in Australia either as a film or Vcr.......... Sue, there would be no point looking under "D" or anywhere else here........Maybe EBay? Stezi, thank you so much!!!!! That must have been wonderful!!!! O/T I have a new EMAIL address now for anybody who wants to write to me!! Bye. I made ONE comment. My quibble, Sibyl, is the sheer volume of the verbiage. Reams and reams of it, some of it from drunken FOF characters, and not by the usual writers, it is sadly obvious to say. Its not funny after the first three hundred entries. That is all I am going to say on the subject. Sadly, the people who need to consider what I am saying are too polarized to "get it". Hi everyone,
It's been a little while since I've last posted. (I have been lurking quite a bit though and keeping up with all the AR information. I havent posted since some of the wenches went to the other site. Ella, you have a great site, I have been in and think you are doing a fine job.
I was wondering if any AR fans could recommend to me one of his films on full screen DVD? I received a DVD player for Mothers Day and now am looking for full screen tapes to play with AR in them..I also got from the Library An awfully big Adventure on VHS which I plan on watching after my volunteer time is done tomorrow and before my son comes home from school. It should be good according to you all here on the GB.
Ali, that would be fun to have an AR convention..Imagine everyone dressing up as their favorite Ar character?
Anyways, hi to all and continue to have fun on the GB..enjoy reading everything from you all..
P.S.-if Anyone is looking for the VHS tape Dark Harbor its on Ebay tonight. I also saw some sort of cheap rings and necklaces with the good Professors picture on it..could be a fun novelty item for someone..
Cheers to all--Pam Opinion Poll on Alan's work-- Which AR movie is your favorite and why? I love "Blow Dry" because we get to see Alan acting as a father. So few of his movies have him
cast in that role. What are your opinions about a favorite movie and why?? Thank you. I'm with you Cindie!! Georgiana, Thank you for the the latest article on the News page. (For all of them really.) In addition to discussing the merits of *Phoenix* instead of *Chamber* they also make Malfoy a Professor. Thanks so much for your illustrated report, Stezi. You have a nice site, too! And to whoever posted the poem, is that what Alan Rickman read? Sounds like it was a wonderful night for all who were able to attend! Stezi, thank you for your lovely report. by the way, what exact color is Rima's hair? What exact color is Alan's hair? I am curious. Thank you. Katy Lane looks like Alan Rickman Thanks for the report, Stezi. Did Alan read once? More than once? Just one poem? More than one? Were they on stage during the readings (for the Burma benefit, they all were)? Details, please. Uh, I hate to burst your bubble, A Concerned Citizen, but I went back to May 1 and analyzed the posts to date. The majority of posts are "central to the theme of this venue", including those that have occured within with past couple of days. So either you're hallucinating or you just want those who don't share your particular brand of humor and whose posts don't meet your standards to begone.
On second thought, maybe it was rack of lamb. (Gosh darn, that was good! My, what exceptional wit is displayed here!) I am quite certain the remark in question referred to AR's enjoyment of "a nice rack of lamb." Do you know, the mint jelly is my own creation? Stezi, thank you so much for your wonderful report of your recent Alan meeting. Great details! And Sarah, please post your impressions of that evening. On a semi OT note, Kara Kneightly(from Love Actually) has been cast as Guinevere in the new Disney film King Arthur(supposedly a more realistic telling) and Arthur himself in none other then Clive Owen from Close Your Eyes. Hopefully we will NOT be seeing the royal backside. ROUGH OUTLINE by Charles Simic
Wow, what an encounter. That was awesome. I'm a fan of both of them. So, that was really neat. I'm glad the he and Rima are so cute together. He seems like the type to be a loving partner. Thanks for sharing that!!! "Drunken posts" ACC? I can assure you I've been completely sober whenever I've posted one of your alledged "silly posts". Maybe its you that needs a drink to loosen up a bit! "...and the "drunken" posts seem to me, to be silly, and not humorous, after the first one."
Wow. This from the woman who once stated that AR "likes a woman with a good rack" on the GB. I am duly impressed by your sophisticated, if not contradictory, sense of what constitutes a "quality" post.
Keebler Elf #3, wha??? Then why did I spy him snarking down Pecan Sandies the other day?!
What is all this Oreo talk? This is the Alan Rickman Guestbook! This is not the Oreo Guestbook! Go post your Oreo fantasies on the Nabisco website! Anyway, everybody knows that Alan Rickman HATES Oreos and much prefers Fudge Stripes! Stezi, thank you SO much for sharing your experience at the Human Rights Watch benefit! It sounds like you and your friends had a lovely time!
One question: You wouldn't happen to know the name of the Charles Simic poem AR read, would you? Just curious . . . . Thanks again for sharing! I like double-stuffed Oreos with a tall glass of milk. And a hint of bitterness on the side. Concerned citizen why do you care if other people want to have a little fun? You are over analyzing the situation. The GB,I thought, was intended for other AR fans to meet and talk. We all like AR,even if his name isn't used in every other word,we are all still big fans. I personally think people get bored,and like a little conflict every now and then. That is the only reason why the topic of, "what should or shouldn't be posted on the GB" is CONSTANTLY brought up. The End...that's all I have to say on this tiresome subject. Stezi, what a lucky girl you are! I'd call that one quality encounter. Only slightly OT: Whilst at a Sherlock Holmes meeting last night, (and it would be interesting to see AR play Holmes, or perhaps Moriarty) a friend mentioned that her English class had seen a performance of Romeo & Juliet. It was not done in period costuming, but in more modern costumes. Specifically, she mentioned that the person playing Tybalt was wearing leather pants. I almost snerked my entire bottle of water! Not that AR's Tybalt, complete with codpiece, wasn't luscious, but can you imagine...leather pants?! Whew!
Stezi: Ist das schnuffig! "He is just Alan!" *kippthintenüberundhyperventiliert* Das nächste Mal komm ich mit! Hi there! I was in London last weekend to see Alan at the Human Rights Watch benefit. It was really amazing to see him like this. For a special report, just click my name! I hope you will all enjoy my report! Hi I Love your movies
and the people you play
I whated to now are you going
to play in any romance moveis soon
I saw you in 3 movies and going to watch
your older movies when I go to rent them at
any place that rent them uh I think thats all that tell for now
your FRIEND
Venicecia I am all in favor of a good joke and humor in the guestbook and don't mind the odd "off topic" comment here and there, but the things that go on and on and on do try the patience, and the "drunken" posts seem to me, to be silly, and not humorous, after the first one. It would be nice if the criticism was evaluated for veracity instead of labeling the person a "guestbook police" or "humorless". For the people who enjoy that sort of thing, perhaps a chat page or something along that line? There is plenty of evidence of humor in this guestbook, if one cares to research it, but it does not overpower the central theme of this venue... Mmmmm, I love Oreos. And I love ALAN too. Anyone else here in the US been craving Oreos? Off topic I know, but I just can't stop thinking about them... Handcuffed to Alan for a WHOLE weekend...PLEASE bring on the punishment! Beth: Where have you been? Come Back! I know it's almost next to impossible, but I wish we could have an Alan Convention. It would be like a deranged Star Wars meeting. We could dress up like all the different Alan characters(ha ha). I think the best character would be Snape,easy,sleek, and it's a cheap costume. One thing is certain, black would be the dominating color of the convention! We could have the meet in a Great Hall,with floating candles, and a bewitched ceiling that looks like the sky...I've seen this somewhere!? Bruce does say it first... then Alan says to him in a semi Russian accent. Yippee-Ki-Yay Muta ... well... you know. It's so cute to hear Alan say that word. I'm weird as a soup sandwich, I know...but there's just something sexy about hearing that.
Anyway Ali-still haven't received an e-mail. I thought that was Bruce Willis who said that Yippee line. Err?? Under'D'??? Die Hard was on on Sunday. I especially like the part where Alan goes Yippee Kay yeah.............
Does anyone know where I can find Dark Harbour in the videoshop. Sarah, I add my voice to the already deafening chorus of requests for your impression of the Cries from the Heart event. This is the time and place. As for any criticism that might rain down on you, just keep repeating, "I am a duck. I am a duck. I am a duck..." Hope to hear from you soon Sarah. It will not be long now for the 5th Book!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to say that I am happy that Alan Rickman is part of this. So many more teenagers are reading these books. I know that my son is reading for the first time!!! He was NOT a reader before this. If only for this reason, I am happy that Alan Rickman is a part of this!!!!!! Keep going Alan. You are a good influence on the teenagers!!!!! Sarah, it would mean a lot to me and many other Australians to read your impressions of "Cries from the Heart" as we are SO far away.... Would appreciate any News. Does anyone know anymore about THAT women on the DIE HARD set??? "Give me Alan or give me death!" (*Snort...chuckle...laugh...*) Okay, maybe you have to be a Yankee to appreciate that one. :) Please share Sarah! I'll defend your right to post anything Alan-related (esp a meeting, since I most likely will never have that privilege) to the death! :-) **Have a wonderful morning/afternoon/evening all!** Sarah, I would love to hear your report Thanks! I have a personal policy..if I am critcised by a nameless pseudonym or phrase on this guestbook, I consider myself successful. I am amazed by the phantom matrix type police (PMT Police?) that do appear here yet seem to forget their own humanity.
I have never had the pleasure of meeting A.R. (look I am being p.c!) and I presume I would act like a witless idiot and admire anyone who manages a coherent string of words or does not faint . So I look forward in hearing of your endeavors . P.S. Wow, did you need a personal loan to attend? As 75 pounds equals about 150 Aus dollars Sarah, you're the poet in my heart, never change, never stop (with apologies to Fleetwood Mac)...... in other words girl, spill your guts (is this an international expression or purely Aussie?) Sarah, PLEASE post your report here. I don't want to post my e-mail address because of spam. But my desire to hear your report is extremely high!!!!!!! Please don't let someone's negative comment discourage you. Look how many people support you! Anyone who considers themselves an Alan Rickman fan would LOVE to hear about your experience. Please, please, PLEASE I'm begging you to tell us all about it here. Sarah, your reports are appreciated. Lets hear the info!Have no fear. WooOOOooo woooOOOooo woooOOOOooo
Halt! This is the GB police! Ali, put your wit where we can't see it! You have the right to remain silent if we say so, anything you say can and will be used to denigrate and ostracize you! I think a fitting punishment would be to handcuff you to Alan Rickman for a weekend, yes? Sarah: I understand what you're going through, but don't let it get to you! Post what you feel,especially if it's an experience meeting Alan. Isn't that what the GB is for? Just ignore the "GB Police", what can they do? Put handcuffs on your computer? I think most of us here can honestly say we have had the GB Police after us at least once (HA HA)! I think we would all treat each other differently if we were in person. Sometimes some of the GBer's act like Agents from the Matrix. You don't know who to trust in the computer world! Anyway don't worry about it, and say what YOU feel. Hey, Canne's festival is near now. I've been there two years ago it was...well, it was crowded and too "smug", do you say that in english? Do anyone knows if the Love Actually Team will be there? Alas, they are not on the competition for the Palme d'or. Sarah, I would love to hear about Cries from the Heart! PLEASE?!!!!!!!!!Snapefan2@aol.com I'm also not comfortable posting my email address, so would anyone be willing to post a second-hand report? I'd really like to know what he read. And Sarah, I understand being sensitive about posting. It's very easy for some to be mean and rude in such an anonymous setting. I think it's best to just ignore offending posts, but I know it's hard when it gets personal. SARAH, I would like to hear about it also please. aarickman@lycos.co.uk Was I supposed to have an "Alan" in there? I don't think I did . . . :( Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear that someone's nastiness has caused you (and so many others) to no longer feel safe or comfortable to post here. If I recall correctly (I can't access the archives, so I wasn't able to verify this), these nasty remarks were made regarding the "Is-it-appropriate-to-ask-for-an-autograph-or-a-photo-at-a-function-such-as-this-or-not?" debate, and the whole thing got out of control quickly. I seem to remember this particular person's comments were rather caustic. :( I also wanted to apologize if I offended you (or anyone else) with my own comments in support of those who DID ask for pictures and autographs of him that evening. (Again, can't verify yes or no, but I hope I wasn't beastly to anyone.) If I WAS, you have permission to spam me with pictures of KFC: Kevin Flooking Costner ;). . . Not to bring up this dead horse, but I wouldn't put much stock in the comments of someone who posts under a false name once or twice and then runs, never to be seen again. (She could, I suppose, be lurking, but I hope her nastiness won't make any other GB appearances.)
It's extremely kind of you to offer to describe the event for anyone, just as it was after your Collateral Damage experience. Please take heart and know that the vast majority of folks here do not post in the guise of hormonal beasts. If she dares raise her shaggy beast's head again, I think (hope) lots of folks will stand with you. If you get a chance, I'd love to hear about it too. Sarah, I certainly would love to hear your account. I had hoped to get over for this one, but, alas, professional responsibilities (not to mention my bank balance) precluded the trip. Please do share. Thank you. Sarah, I'm sorry, I had no idea there was something that complicated going on. Please reconsider and post anyway! We will form a protective love circle around you to dispel any nasty comments, right Wenches? Oh sorry, veering off ALANALANALAN topic ALANALANALAN. Please Sarah! Just reading the news page: I was under the distinct impression that Anna Massey was dead... Sarah, you must tell us the truth; is she dead or alive? And don't forget all the other juicy tidbits from the reading! Sarah, I too would love to hear your Cries From the Heart report. Sarah, I would love to hear your report~ Thanks! Sarah, we believe you, I promise. We have no reason to rebuff anything you say. The only reason people occasionally get tetchy when others recount their AR meetings is *jealousy*. Small minds, that sort of thing. The majority of us here are not like that and anxious to hear anything and everything you have to say. And you're my new best friend. Have I mentioned that? Would you like your house cleaned? How about cash? Can you be bought??? Kate, after the criticism I got from An Embarassing Fan on the GB after my reporting from Collateral Damage I wouldn't dare send another report from London and my meetings with Alan! I was there, she wasn't, I live in London, she doesn't.....but she knows better than me and doesn't mind telling me so! Never again, buddy, I'm far too scared! Sarah, I'm curious as to why you just don't post your impressions of "Cries from the Heart" here? Surely it would be easier than answering several individual emails? :)(Some of us don't like posting out email addresses.) I would love to hear about it! Sarah, do you live in London as well? I'm desperaly trying to find some Gbers in London as I'm here right now at Paddington. Well, Notting Hill is not far from walk so I'm often tempted to go there and dream that I would bump into him one day. I'll really enjoy to meet some of you there. I'll greatly appreciate if you can give a full report of the event as I went back to Paris this WE and wasn't able to go. Was it great? Wonderful? erotic?! Hi Sarah, I'd love to hear about Cries from the Heart. mail me at mastermumathotmaildotcom Apparently ALAN all one has to do ALAN to stay on topic ALAN is mention ALAN's name in one's post, and so I highly recommend ALAN that those in doubt ALAN take advantage of this lesser known, implicit ALAN GB rule. For example, ALAN, there wouldn't be a single complaint if ALAN certain people had ALAN filled half the GB with their ALAN opinion on just how fake that e-bay ALAN photograph looks. Keep the ALAN RULES in mind from now on, posters!
Ali, love the cookbook entry!
Creeping cautiously out of lurkdom to say that I went to Cries from the Heart on Sunday. Anyone wanting to know more, leave your email addy on the GB and I'll get back to you? An entry for the Alan Cook Book. Judas "Kisses", milk chocolate candies that every Alan fan will love. It's just like kissing Alan himself...well that could be debated. A kiss tasting like chocolate, GROSS! "Rasp"berry Putin Pie, cooked with a bright red burning berry sauce, and baked in a food colored black pie crust. When baking the pie it is best to cook it in a "tin" pan. This will make sure that all the ingredients have "truly" captured the flavor of your "Rasp"berry Putin Pie. When it is done cooking enjoy eating a pie that looks like death, but taste like Heaven.
Just like in the movie, you will find that this "Rasp"berry Putin Pie will not die! ***WARNING*** this pie may cause a little gas, so take some Beano and remember when you're feeling ill, Rasputin is hard to kill. Go ahead and throw things. I like Michael Douglas. Hi The petition for Private Lives to go on to video is still running ,just enter Private Lives Petition ,I am signing it again bye pat This just shows you what stupid attention-seekers "Michael" and "Catherine" are. They are HATED by the press right now after their lawsuits. I seriously doubt they will ever set foot on that stage -- the advance negative press will be merciless. Can anyone say Liz and Dick? Didn't Taylor and Burton do it (Prvate Lives)in the 70's and the production was wildley panned? Remember Joan Collins???her Private Lives would have made Coward roll over in his grave. Zeta-Jones and Douglas will get the curiosity seekers, but their celebrity will get in the way. It will be interesting to see how many times their production will be compared to AR/LD? For MD and CZJ to attempt to take on Private Lives is horrifying. I believe they will find that their version ,coming on the heels of a LEGITIMATE production, will not seve them well. Afterall, AR and LD were a HUGE hit in the West End. AAAAAYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, SLAM (door)! Thanks for reminding, Pat. Does one think that it ever would have occurred to the fabulously wealthy D and ZJ to attempt "Private Lives" without the prior popularity of, ahem, its more recent trailblazers? Who was it that had the info to address its video archiving? Have pc, will write. After Alan &lindsey wonderful performance in Private Lives on stage ,the news that KZJONES &M DOUGLES as ELYOT &AMANDA I think not ..no contest ..NO NO NO EVERY REASON TO PUT ALAN &LINDSEYS PERFORMANCE ON TO VIDEO WHAT DO YOU SAY FANS. Katie in Plymouth, apologies offered if I sounded too strident in my rebuttal. You have excellent taste in appreciating actors and modern culture in general if you've made the point to find, and then post on this Alan Rickman GB. To answer your question, scroll all the way down to the bottom of this site, go to the Homepage link, and it will take you to a few other links that have fine photos and more information on Alan Rickman. Enjoy! No, it wouldn't. It would be better if someone in his management read it and conveyed sentiments here like where is the "John Gissing" movie, his "Harry Potter" character's lack of screen time is sorely noticed, etc. I'm just happy that Suzanne's in-person projects, like delivering flowers to "Private Lives" were graciously received. If he had actually read select comments from some here, he might have run screaming! it would be good if alan rickman actually read this guestbook. I am only 13 and i find Alan Rickman so cute.He is an amazing actor and i wish him the best of luck in the future.This web page is so cool.If anyone has nice pictures of him or info on him e-mail me plz. There's an item in the American paper Newsday today confirming that Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas are going to do "Private Lives" in London next year as rumored. I would pay money NOT to see that. The Collateral Damage events did not make any of the papers that I could see either. Did any GBrs see AR in "Cries from the Heart" in London last night? Or were there any articles in the papers today? Oops! While I managed not to turn the entire Guestbook into a link The second link I gave didn't work.
Try this: Auction Update
There is a celebrity eye wear and memorabilia auction online at ebay for 10 days beginning May 22nd in aid of
The Discovery Fund for Eye Research. Am terrified of trying to do a link now LOL Here goes... Go to discovery fund
AR is donating a signed photo of himself and Harry Potter from COS and a letter. See auction update
Sorry about the double post..Barbara the Aussie I am glad the Rasputin show was a doco. I have been tsk tsking myself like a repentent House Elf. Hi Barbara the Aussie. Yes I managed to tape the part with comment about an Film Executive who didn't like A.R. (probably the only exec. person who likes Kev. Costner), and wanted to take him out of the movie! AAAAHHHH!!! Thank goodness people stood up to her. Yet I bet it is a nameless person as I am sure no one would want that on there resume.
Hello everyone! Janine, (Vic), that Rasputin was a docu NOT the film........ Still good to watch tho. Did anyone watch, last night, after Die Hard finished, the 30 minute "Making of Die Hard"? It was a total surprise as my TV guide said something else was on! What a double thrill to see this and the one short response from AR that he is not really the villian but just someone who wants a certain thing and get's it. The producer also mentioned some women who HATED AR and wanted to get rid of him but they wouldn't let her.... in their words he was "too good to loose"! Maybe she was a reporter? Does anyone know aything more about this poor deluded women? I watched Judas Kiss for the first time today, really like it. Every movie I have seen with Alan in I have always enjoyed. If I see Mr.Rickman name in the credits of a movie I set the time to watch it. I have not been disappointed with any of his work, Star director or stage hand, I feel he gives his all but makes it look elementary. I would love to be there, but I'm here in Munich and London is as far as the moon... *isfrustratedaboutthat* I hope if any of our readers are able to catch Mr. Rickman at the benefit tonight (about now?) at the 20th Century Theatre in London they will be kind enough to share impressions? Thanks in advance. Well, when an adult person throws things at other persons... it`s not a good behavior. He can be good in his job, but why should I see above just because he is an artist? I can`t throw things at other persons because they don't behave like I want them to. If Mr. Nanagawa would have thrown an ashtray to Mr. Rickman, Mr Rickman would have left the stage at once. I agree with Juliana. But Hiromi, I will send you an email, perhaps we can meet us in Munich? But I have a family to manage, so there is a "perhaps". It would be nice to meet you!!! Lisa, Juliana: Thanks for the comments (as to the Mr. Ninagawafs gash-trayh behavior.)! It is always great to share AR info. with AR fans like you! But I wonderc
if my gash-trayh statement gave some AR fans a bad impression about the director himself. Maybe he is too passionate about directingc.Let me add that he has done many good directing jobs in this country.
One more AR trivia: Michael Collins was aired here in Japan on Saturday midnight (May 9). (Lisa: It would be great if I could meet you. Please give me an email at the address below.)
I just wanna say that I love your site! Alan Rickman is really the best!! Have you guys ever met him?? Love, Jady Thanks for that article Nathalie!! That was really enjoyable! I LOVE that picture of Alan and Ian. That was so cute!! Kimberly, thanks for the information on Pity in History. Was it published on its own, or in a collection? Something tells me it's not very easy to find, like so many other Alan Rickman related works. Is his character very prominent in it? Hi dearest Wenches, I'm pleased to be back at last! A lot of great news and pics of Alan here. My first week in London was very hard, busy but full of delightuous evenings. I haven't yet met the Man but who knows I try to keep wandering around in case...It would be great if I could meet other London's Gbers. And to add sthg to the Rasputin discussion, I've found on sir Ian Mc Kellen
website some notes he wrote about the shooting of Rasputin and Alan's wonderful behaviour. There's the link:
Carolyn, dear carolyn, thank you for that address. I love the easter bunny picture and the wistful Snape, as well as the strolling Snape. My computer is filled with pictures of you know who. Good thing my DH doesn't know all my code names for things: he might feel a bit threatened! That scene in CoS, I don't recall in the film (would have loved them to keep the "finding" scene as written in the book with Snape behind the boys), but remember it from the book. Sounds like a good scene anyway! "Alan out Snaping" is not part of the address. This is it: Thank you, Kimberly~ http://www.alan-rickman-online.de/snapey_film3.shtml
Alan out Snaping "Pity in History," by Howard Barker, was commissioned by the BBC, neglected, and eventually produced in 1984, shows the conflict and contradiction of the artist/craftsman in a society moving through chaos. Set during the English civil war, but with Barker's usual eye on the present, its swoops of idealism, cynicism and fanaticism, and the mingling of all three within the single personality, mark it as one of the most passionate and eloquent affirmations of the creative will. (Description on back of play text.) According to the play text, it was transmitted on the BBC on July 4, 1985. Alan Rickman played Croop, a chaplain. Not the clearest or most detailed of descriptions, but the best I can do at the moment! LOL What is Pity of History? I 've never heard anything about it before. I was noticing the comments on the deleted scenes from HPCoS and I just wanted to ask if anyone noticed that,I think, there is a deleted part of the confrontation between HP and Prof.Snape over the flying car debacle.
I am positive there was a conversation over erasing the memories of Muggles who had seen the car, which would leave those affected with no memory at all and HP asked if just the memory of seeing the car could be erased, to which our good Prof. replies, something like, "Magic does not work like that Mr. Potter..." (long pause, thoughtful look,) "...but maybe it should...".
Now it might be my imagination, but I'm sure I saw that in the film. If so, that means they are deleting scenes, just so they can sell a later "expanded" version, with the original scenes re-inserted.
Now, if that's so they should be ashamed of themselves!
Does anyone else remember that more complete scene? Or did I just imagine the whole thing?
Beth: you might have accidently deleted it! It was from the CryoLife Switchboard. I'll send another one on Monday. PBS was showing some of the greatest performances from Musical Theatre the other day, and it made me think of Alan. They showed Michael Crawford...and a performance of Jellicle Cats! Well, I'll talk to you later, and title my next e-mail, "Alan,Alan,Alan" that way you won't delete it. This is a funny review of HP I wonder who her Maths teacher was? http://www.sbs.com.au/movieshow/reviews.php3?id=810 Sorry I ment Channel 7 who are giving us a Diehard thrill for mothers day Here is an articulate review for J.K. http://www.sbs.com.au/movieshow/reviews.php3?id=281 Tami, what a great site you have! And thanks for satisfying a bit of my curiosity about Pity in History. Now I really have to read it and find the words that go with that face...my library is still looking for it, though! Well, I must phone at our Amtsgericht and ask for stopping such fakers. Perhaps the attorney here will have a look on it! I warned here, but she was just snappish. I found the 2 photos on Tami's page: the one is alan10.jpg the other alan4.jpg. The negatives are turned - so the left side is the right and the right is the left. The seller told me, she bought it so and her seller promised that as an original... However, she just can give you a negative, and wouldn't dare to go too far! So you can spoil her 100 % praises as well - but you are innocent! *keepingmyfingerscrossedforyou* Tami--THANK YOU for that glimpse of the rarest of all rare videos, Pity in History! Only whets my appetite for more, however. (How loudly do I have to whine before somebody takes Pity on Me?) Here is the exact link to the original photo on my site--
http://www.nd.edu/~tchapman/alan10.jpg
I'm truly sorry you are having this trouble, Edge, and I hope you win your battle. Good luck. Thanks to Suzanne for providing this forum where we can share information.
Also, I want to alert everyone that there are a few newly acquired photos from "Pity in History" on my website.
Just click on my name below and then go to the "Television" link. Scroll down to see them. Enjoy! Edge, I found one of the the pictures, too, on www.alan.subito.cc Go to the photos, second page, 2nd from the right. Edge--I believe Lisa found the picture on Tammi's "The Voice" site, see, http://www.nd.edu/~tchapman/alanrickman.html If you scroll down this page a bit, you will see her post. I think she said first page (photo gallery), third row down (but double check). Good luck, and don't let the seller bully you!!! Edge, Ebay has a fraud department where you can report something like this, but you'd probably need a copy of the original photo for that too. Don't just deal with the seller, complain higher up the chain. (Though Ebay might just say "caveat emptor.") You might try calling your state branch of the consumer protection agency, usually it's in the state district attorney's office. The US Dept of Justice has been making a lot of noise recently about stopping online fraud. I believe they were successful in forcing Ebay to take some items out of auction. Hey all! Need help again. Seems the seller on Ebay has the "article" the (fake) pic of Alan was in. She's threatening to report me if I don't pay up. Told her to send it to me if she really had it. I read somewhere in the past posts someone had the original pic. Is there anyway I could see that pic so I know the differece. Either by posting it here on this website or by e-mail. I promose I would not copy it or send it to anyone. I just want to get this person to stop selling fake photos. It's not fair to unknowing buyers (points to self <----) nor is it fair to Alan. Please let me know
Did I say Michael Douglas? I meant Jeff Bridges. I get those two families mixed up a lot.
Kit--don't hold your breath! Launching website first, timing entrances later, (following stopwatch shopping). Another nice tape to have would be a collection of outakes from all AR films, like Robin Hood! Or even better, if only films would be released with ALL scenes included so we don't have to play games (Sorcerer's Stone) and then have to figure out where the heck that scene was to have gone! (I feel really sorry for the un-named actor in CoS who played the shop keeper in two scenes that both got cut! Imagine his resume: Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets, deleted scenes) I'll wait for a report AliPat! Julianna, I agree. That´s what I wanted to say with my posting before. To throw ashtrays to someone is dangerous and so childish. But the cast seemed to forgive Mr. Nanagawa the ashtray-attack... Amelie, the earlier tape (6-7-02) is the entire interview. The later tape has been edited, and in my opinion, left out all the best parts. I believe the second one was edited to make more room for the Michael Douglas interview which follows it. (Sorry--I forget who he was paired with in the June broadcast, only remember he was an author). What exactly is the difference between the two tapes offered at the Charlie Rose shop. The text says nearly the same, but the dates are different and so are the "also appearing" guests. Does anybody know ? Re: fan etiquette. I've been to a few dozen science fiction conventions and most fans seem respectful and polite. In fact, I know sometimes we've been too restrained and shy. A couple times I've had a celebrity chatting with me and I haven't known what to do! Once I was in an elevator and some fellow in a group started joking with me as soon as I got in so I didn't say much--later I realized he had played Sgt. Benton in Dr. Who. But it is hard to know what to do when the guest is wandering around the convention or hotel. Some love to chat, some don't. The most cringe-inducing moments for me come from fans wanting to present gifts (sometimes from children) to actors (actually, almost always actresses) answering questions on stage. However, to be fair, most of the performers seem touched. From what I've read online Alan seems to have enjoyed the presentations after his play. Although I suspect he might have enjoyed the keys to a Porsche more than a magnet. Ann Hey, it's Friday. Speedy recovery to Roger Moore (he's 75 already!?). Happy Mother's Day to all and have a great weekend, Alan. Sandy. AR would walk out if someone threw an ashtray at him. He seems to be someone who does not take any nonsense from anyone, no matter what. I would bet that directors go a long way to please him. I would not want to suffer his wrath. Just my 2 cents. I'm not sure if it would have been really a good idea of Mr. Ninagawa to throw an ashtray to Mr. Rickman... what a bad behavour! Little childs throw things in their anger, but adults should be more civilised. But thank you for the information, Hiromi. It's nice to have also a japanese lady here. Mr. Rickman agrees the fan world. ;-) See you in Bavaria this summer. ;-) Someone mentioned "The Tango the End of the Winter" a few days ago on the GB.
This reminds me of a bit of trivia that might interest AR fans.
The Japanese director, Mr. Ninagawa, is quite well-known for his "throwing the ashtray at the cast" behavior. When he gets angry at the cast during rehearsals (because perhaps the actor/actress didn't do the job the way Mr. Ninagawa expected), he would throw an ashtray at the actor/actress to express his anger! This is a well-known rumor that many Japanese people, including me, know about.
I hope the AR performance was good enough to avoid the "ash tray attack"! sonoma: Thanks for your info about the AR tape of the Charlie Rose show! I've ordered the tape of the 6/7/02 show! (It's good that US videos play in Japan, although UK videos do not without special equipment.) @Edge: It's not your fault, the seller had 100 % praise. But there is an austrian seller at EBAY.de (Germany) who sells faked autographs and the "fans" give him a praise, too. I found the photos which were used for the fotomontages. So many ladys here, wrote to the seller. So she knew, but didn`t want to be warned. What she did was just a betrayal and so she should be accused for that. I don't think Mr. Rickman would be pleased to know that. If you get problems with her, let me know. She is from Munich like me, I will send her an email and ask her, if she wants to get accused by me on the Munich Amtsgericht... ;-) Betrayers make me angry! AUSSIE ALERT!How appropiate that Hans should be showing on MOTHERS DAY! I have to say,especially to Janine from Vic, that somebody at 7 really appreciates how many of us LIKE AR & it IS Christmas Theo, it's a time of miracle's, so be of good Cheer! Well it IS getting Cold here in Australia! I will be esconced in front of the TV at 8.30 on Sunday night! Kit, my videorecorder is magical. For example, when it has "Sense and Sensibility" in its belly, it starts sending distinct pictures after about half an hour, with "Dogma", it is much quicker (but only for three scenes), and with "Blow Dry" it is definitely fastest! Welcome, Edge, to the ONE most valuable resource on the net for accurate and up-to-date information on Alan Rickman.
The AR GB is, indeed, the center of the Rickman universe, but there are also some wonderful planets (sister websites) circling about in AR heaven.
Glad to have been some help with the eBay pics.... Yes, Ali-Pat, but doesn't he die beautifully? Occupational hazard of playing villains, I guess. Hiromi, yes, it's important to buy the tape of the 6/7/02 show with Stephen Carter also on it. AR's interview was rebroadcast on the 8/27/02 show with Jeff Bridges, but it's edited, so I hope no one buys that one like I did initially! Edge, you found an invaluable AR resource in this Guestbook--I know I did. I would love to say a great big thank you to those who e-mailed me about the fake Alan Rickman(stops to daydream) photo that I had the unfortunate joy of winning on Ebay. Yes I'm the idiot who did'nt know about the pics. I have contacted Ebay about it and am waiting a responce. I have also e-mailed the seller about it and have informed her/him that Ebay will be investigating it! So until I hear from Ebay I'm not paying for it. Hopefully I wont ruin my 100% rating in the process and if the seller is wise they won't want to either. Now that Kim has sent me this site addy(yeah!)(haven't made it thru the over 77,000 items on the internet that involves Alan) I can now stay in the loop on this magnificent actor and Man! Thanks again to all!!
EJ (Edge) Ali-No, I didn't get your e-mail... remember to put Alan Rickman in the subject so I'll know it's from you. I get a lot of junk mail so it's hard for me to know which ones which if I never receive e-mails from you.... remember ALAN RICKMAN!!! As to the Charlie Rose show in which AR appeared, is this the one aired on 6/7/2002?
If so, I assume everyone on the GB knows that the video is available at :
https://www.charlierose.com/shop/order/coStep3.asp Just got back from taking a looong vacation with Alan. It was great! We went to the beach, the mountains, and all around the world, in only one day! Then I woke up and realized it was all a dream. Beth: did you get my e-mail?
BY the way Janine, I already do have a website, but thanx for the suggestion. Sounds like a project right up my alley, Kit! I'll have to go out and buy a stopwatch before I attempt it, though. Timing how long it takes him to die in each film without a stopwatch was...murder. Ha, Kit, great idea! Hmm, I think I almost have enough videos to make that tape. I would guess unscientifically that "Mesmer" is his longest screen time (he's in all but four short scenes I think), followed closely by "Rasputin." Those are true "starring" roles. More of those please!
Least screen time: gotta be "Chamber of Secrets"... My daughter and I were talking about how longit takes for our favorite actors to actually appear in a film. I think AR takes the prize for late entrances. Idly I wonder if anyone has timed his entrances from the beginning of the film, or if anyone has ever dane a timing of his scenes for a total time in the film. I know Quigley is only about 17 minutes when I fast forward! Which film does he have the most time in? And what brave creative soul is going to make us all happy by producing a tape that is only AR scenes from all his movies? I have to admit he is usually the best thing in all the films I've seen! FF button is wearing out; we need more films! The CD itself looks genuine; it's got the right imprinting, printing, and everything. I wasn't just looking at the cover. I think it's there and the video is the wrong region. Anyone know how to tell for certain? Amanda--the video track might not be on your CD at all, no matter what the cover says. There was a whole batch of faulty CDs released this way (one of which I have, but I didn't pay much for it, thank goodness). It was a really big problem in Australia, as I recall from reading archival GB postings. Your DVD player won't read it, your CD won't read it, and your computer won't read it--'cause it just ain't there! I have managed to get a Texas In Demand CD, with the video track, that won't play on my machine. The audio tracks are fine, but evidently (since I think it's the German issue) the video won't play. My DVD player and computer, neither one, can even detect the fifth track. The CD looks genuine; anyone want to trade for one with a track that will play in the North American region? (What is that, Region 2? whatever). Spam removed. Vache & Cow: Did you know that it is a FEDERAL OFFENSE to spam people now? How interesting! What an excellent idea! Want to be the first one on your block to have the men in black drop by for a chat? I REALLY object to running my cursor over a logo and being taken to a web page!!! Suzanne can you remove the cow pat please!!! Carolyn, dear Carolyn - yes, maybe you should be careful if you go to the Metatron thing - it could be red faces all round!Lol. Yes, from my calculations he has got a lot of air in his chart, Jupiter and Neptune in Libra and Uranus in Gemini, which, from the time I used, puts it in the eleventh house, it's own house (ruling Aquarius). This would be a strong position and may be responsible for his well-known social concience. As for Rima, here's an interesting thing - if he has Leo rising, it puts Aquarius roughly on his Descendant, which is connected to the Partner and the one who would be good for you. Rima is an Aquarian - hmmm - food for thought. Anyway - must go - Project Manager wants to go home, hopefully before midnight! Hi
Hope you like the photo from HP3.http://www.alan-rickman-online.de/snapey_film3.shtml CDC's Metratron thing reminded me of a very funny sketch from a group called Fast Forward where a Women auxillary group, summond the devil to figure out the mysteries of Feather anf Fan (a knitting stitch for those who do not, or there mother's are not absessed by knitting) (It is a Freudian fixation as they have not fixated apon A.R.) This is somewhat off topic, but please forgive me. With all the talented fan fic writers who post here, I thought this news might be of interest. This comes from a promotions industry rag and I’m not sure if this information is public yet:
Essay Contest Kicks Off Harry Potter Campaign:
Harry Potter mania is about to ignite once again as Scholastic rolls out a multi-million dollar campaign this month in advance of the summer release of the fifth book in the Harry Potter series. The campaign kicks off with an essay contest that asks participants to write 300 words answering the question, "If you could have one special power taught at Hogwarts, what would it be and why?" Ten winners win an all-expense-paid trip for two to London to hear author J.K. Rowling read from the new book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and answer questions. The full campaign launches May 21, one month before the book goes on sale June 21.
In response to the fan etiquette topic mentioned yesterday, I’ve coordinated many celebrity appearances as part of my job (sadly, nothing with AR). I’ve seen some atrocious behavior including fans following the celebrity back to his hotel after the appearance, chasing him down a hotel corridor and literally ripping the shirt off his back! I’ve been offered ridiculous sums of money for objects handled by the celeb du jour, asked if I’m “the wife” and verbally abused by presumably jealous fans. On the other hand, I’ve been witness to some truly touching moments and met some very special people, fans and celebrities alike. Although I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting AR, from the descriptions of others who have, it seems he genuinely appreciates his fans.
A Fish Needing Help: I think I might actually go to the Metatron thing. I've never gone to a channeling. Wonder if Metatron will mention that somebody in attendance has scandalous intentions. Nothing new on the horoscope. I was interested to find that AR mentions he's full of air signs. I have the same thing going on. Wonder if Rima keeps him grounded as my DH does me. ok, I'll contact Alan's agent and send a finished script and a blank cheque too, while I'm dreaming. Alan will star with Bruce Willis (they were good together, yes?) with future projects to include Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken. My own personal acting skills consist of looking like a deer caught in the headlights but I do make a very good member of the audience. Also I would never never never follow Alan into the loo to ask for an autograph or shove my cleavage into his face (unless he asked me to). Sandy. Suzanne - more downloads - can't wait! They're always great, though must try to download part two of From Sleep and Shadow sometime when I have a chance.
Feeling quite giddy at the moment as I found a UK supplier of Region 1 DVDs online and went a bit mad with Quigley, Mesmer and Dark Harbor. Found that the PC where I do voluntary work will play them, as I don't have a DVD player at home. Just been watching a bit of Mesmer (needed an AR fix for the day) and woooo! Ruffles, long hair and velvet plus that voice,loads of lovely hand work and that's before even I get around to the acting! Thankfully I've got an understanding project manager who just smiles indulgently and shakes his head.
Carolyn, Dear Carolyn - loved the post about Metatron at your local New Age shop - keep getting visions of the place being invaded by excited women clutching tequila bottles asking what time "He" will appear and will he have time to sign anything. Did your friend have any more success with the horoscope time? I'd be interested to know if it was any help. Thanks for the photos you have send so far! I will be able to use several of them. I neglected to say that I already have Brandon reading to Marianne--that's the one that gave me the idea. Still seeking the ones on my list however.
As for the "cat with wings" idea--I honestly don't know what to make of that. CL is a film so full of subtlety and innuendo, that this detail might be significant. However, there is an equal chance that it is mere coincidence. I have never believed that the Madeline Stowe character wrote a political treatise disguised as a children's book, but her persecutors did, and perhaps this is a very, very understated way of demonstrating what damning details one can find in an innocent work of literature if one is expecting to find them. I have no knowledge of an owl representing a political party (they always represent wisdom to me, which could be another irony), but again, perhaps it is all symbolic. There is actually an owl character in the book, also. That could make the cat seem even more sinister--a cat in owl's clothing, so to speak. Who knows?
I've lost track of the directions my mind has gone interpreting this film--what a puzzle it is. No wonder there are whole workshops devoted to it. Hi - I'm back! Can't believe I've actually survived nearly A MONTH away from the GB! Had a fantastic 2 weeks in Melbourne but its taken nearly another 2 weeks to get the computer working again after my DH crashed the hard drive. Just spent an hour trying to catch up on what's happened since I've been away. Didn't manage to catch up with Janine while I was in Melbourne unfortunately. Maybe next time. She SMSed me about Diehard on Sunday night. Seen it once on video and am looking forward to seeing it again. "The owls are not what they seem" -- Twin Peaks
"And a minor bit of trivia associated with Closet Land. On one of the listservs I subscribe to, there is currently a discussion of the phrase "cat with wings" being used to describe owls--a phrase which apparently has a long history. In CL, The Cat With Green Wings is one of the characters in the children's book written by the author. (Just thought it was interesting...)"
Ok, I'll bite. I haven't seen CL, mind you, but if I presume that MS's character *did* actually write the book as a political manifesto, what precisely would owls symbolize? I've heard of jack...donkeys and elephants, but are animals used to represent parties in other countries? Owls? How does the color green figure? Green is typically associated with earth, all things organic, so the best I can come up with is a Green Party conspiracy to overthrow the government. Spotted owls being an endangered (don't quote me on that) species, the Green party being an endangered species...it all makes perfect sense now. On a serious note, I wouldn't mind reading others' more informed theories. Ali-Pat, do you have any cat-with-green-wings theories?
And Thank You, Suzanne! That's very generous of you. Suzanne for president in 2004!!!! Did anybody here see AR in "Tango"??
Thank you Suzanne! Wow, I knew this was the place to ask about those shows. Thanks so much Suzanne, your videograms are always great--and I don't care how long they take to download, either! If I was given one trip in a time machine, it would be to see AR as Sei in Tango At The End Of Winter. Suzanne, that would be incredible! Can't wait to see them, don't care HOW long it takes to download them! Ali-Pat I sent you a pic of Alan for your collection. Let me know if it is ok.. Hello folks, Ali-Pat: Near the end of Sense & Sensibility! Colonel is reading to Marianne. I know I've seen captures of this posted somewhere ... Sorry--one more post. (I save them all up until the end of the day, don'tcha know).
I am looking for photos of Alan with a book or other reading material in his hands. The films I can think of that have what I am looking for are:
If anyone would be willing to email these to me or direct me to them online, I would be ever so grateful! Also, can anyone suggest any other photos or scenes in which AR is holding a book?
Thanks in advance! Oops--that was supposed to say "now". I can add some more information about Truly Madly Alan Rickman. According to Paton, it was broadcast on BBC2 on November 2, 1994, and the host was Catherine Baily. Another source says the broadcast date was October, 1994, however. Maybe it ran more than once? I asked a few weeks ago about a Charlie Rose fake interview I had read once and asked for the web site address, and a very kind person named Sue gave me and almost immediate answer to my question. I kept meaning to say thankyou. I hope it's alright that my gratitude is so late. Thanks to Sue for the address! Also I was wondering if the owner of that site reads this guestbook? I keep trying to send her an email but it comes back as "Undeliverable". I'd rather not put my email address here. I was only wondering if there was another way to contact Jen, the owner of the TARF website. Thanks for all your help and thanks again Sue!!! I think Alan Rickman has the nicest fans! Jackie
Hi everyone!
This is from "The Leaky Cauldron":
A wizard, about wizards
Victoria, a reporter in the UK, interviewed Sir Ian McKellan this weekend about X2, and he also spoke about the Harry Potter series and his friends in the cast. She sent us this report:
Sir Ian Mckellen told the audience that he was sitting next Alan Rickman at showing of Ghosts, a play at the Barbican Centre in London that afternoon (3rd May) and that he asked Alan how the filming on was going. "All well and good," replied Mr. Rickman. "Except Mike Gambon and his Fart Machine."
"Fart machine?" said Sir Ian.
"Yes, he put it in Harry Potter's bed when we were filming..."
Also, during the Q&A at the end of the talk Sir Ian was asked whether he would like to give advice to Sir Michael Gambon on playing a wizard. "I do not think that I could give advice to Sir Mike on anything; he will be very good. I hear that he took a very long time to negotiate his fee for playing Dumbledore so he must know what he is doing...."

Thanks for a great site!!
Pat, Sue: Sigh, thanks. That Tango tape sounds amazing. Hi Kate The Tango with Niniggawa , was a film showing the rehersals of TANGO AT THE END OF WINTER .WHICH WENT ON TO BE STAGED IN THHE WEST END LONDON .iT WASSHHOWN ON BRITISH TV [I HAVE A VIDEO ] Alan is great .bye pat The Truly, Madly, Alan Rickman documentary appears to be a British venture but sadly my copy stops before the credits. I was very lucky in being given a copy by someone I met at the last night of PL. I sent her copy of CME and she told me that a friend had only just mentioned that she had a copy of the doc and would I like a copy too!!!No prizes for guessing the answer on that! I don't think it is available on the web anywhere. Beth, I don't know how many HP fans there are on the GB, but you're welcome to dissect the subject of Severus with us via the HP thread: Rickman Revelers. Hit the "comment on this" link at the bottom of the post. (Just a suggestion, because I don't know that you'll get many responses here.) Sue: Who made the "Truly Madly Alan Rickman" documentary? Was it a British TV thing? BBC?
Has anyone ever seen "Tango with Ninigawa"?
Just what I need -- more pieces of the puzzle to obsess over finding!
Sue, is that documentary of Truly Madly, Alan Rickman on a website to view? I would love to see that! Sandy, please, for the love of AR, send that request to his agent! Bond villain--what an excellent idea. I would actually pay to watch 007 in action once again if that were the case. (But there will never be another Sean Connery or Roger Moore as far as I'm concerned. *sigh*)
CDC, ohhhhh, you wunderwit! You've got to hand it to the one-liner maven :-) I was going to say that attempting to educate the etiquette-less would be a waste of time, but I prefer your very concise and astute explanation.

Sonoma - Truly,Madly,Alan Rickman is a 40 min documentary made during the filming of Mesmer so probably wouldn't transcribe very easily, being lots of shots of him at work, etc as well as some interviews. It is a fascinating in-sight to the man at work though. C,dC: *Snort* Thanks for the giggle! The Lady has a fantastic way with words!
Thanks for the great link, Amelie. I especially love his comment about actors throwing themselves against the wall, hoping to stick a bit. I've heard his comments about actors only conveying the words of writers, but he's pretty good with words himself. I noticed someone on Ebay selling tapes of a couple of AR related TV programs, Truly Madly, Alan Rickman, and Tango With Ninagawa. I think one went for more than $700 (yikes) and was wondering if anyone here knew of any online transcripts? Thanks, Amelie! That is exactly what I was looking for. http://www.beckettonfilm.com/plays/play/interview_rick.html
Ali-Pat, this is what I downloaded sometimes ago. Alan would have been outstanding as a Blofeld, Zoran or Scaramanga, or if he didn't want to play the villain maybe "M" or 006. It's hard to think of an adequate "good guy" role in a Bond film unless you're 007 or a woman. Today's Bond movies need a good kick in the butt to make them fun to watch again, speaking for myself of course.
Dear Alan's Agent :)) Wouldn't Alan be superb in a Bond film? At the risk of sounding impertinent, please see what you can do to make this happen. I would be thrilled to death to assist you in any way and my only payment would be in the form of a soft, warm kiss and a big hug from Alan. Thankyou. Sandy. I'm guessing that the people who really ought to buy an etiquette clue don't have the cerebral capital to make a down payment. OT:Replying to Kate, in regards to Fan Etiquette Handbook: It's not quite my original idea; I filched at least part of it from something Harlan Ellison wrote. His "rules" were as follows: 1) Don't bring your entire collection of stuff for someone to sign. Choose 1 or 2 things that are most important to you. 2) Be complimentary; if you don't like the artist's work, say so privately, preferably in a letter. 3)Brush your teeth, or at least have a mint before talking to someone! (This was the funniest, considering anyone should know better than to breathe onion/garlic fumes on someone else!) I'd add: Don't bother the artist while they're going to or from a panel/signing session/other. And certainly you should refrain from pestering them in the bathroom! (Yep...seen it happen.)And, don't hassle them when they're trying to eat. (Seen that happen, to.)
The same seller has a second fake photo up at ebay. That eBay photo--what a hoot!
Now, can anyone tell me if there is a videogram or a transcript available online of the interview Alan did for the Beckett plays? I am looking for the portion of the interview where he talks about the responsibility of the audience to be somewhat prepared in advanced. It appears on the DVD set on disc one with the documentary.
And a minor bit of trivia associated with Closet Land. On one of the listservs I subscribe to, there is currently a discussion of the phrase "cat with wings" being used to describe owls--a phrase which apparently has a long history. In CL, The Cat With Green Wings is one of the characters in the children's book written by the author. (Just thought it was interesting...) I am under strict orders not to click on anything without getting approval from my computer experts. Downloading (whatever that is) is a no-no. Something about nasty viruses and crashing computer systems. So thanks for the info on the various rip-off artists and cut and paste jobs. Makes me feel better about not being able to go there (yet). Sandy I would stick A.R's head on the George of the Jungle body LOL I FOUND THE ORIGINAL PHOTO! It´s on Tami´s Fanpage, the first page of the photos, 3rd row, 1st picture. I printed it, turned the paper and when you hold it into the light, you see, that the faker just turned a negative and made is montage. What a shame! The seller told me, she will get the original article from her seller... surprise surprise... :-((( THE YOUNG ALAN RICKMAN/EBAY: Well, these arms on the photo, don´t look at all to be Mr. Rickman's arms. Well, I felt free not to email the seller (it's a bavarian one - from Munich - what a shame!!! I come from there!), I emailed the bidder. Perhaps she wont buy a fake, I hope it so for her. I hate that, when people sell autographs for a high price, but when these autographs are fakes, I really get angry. As I told you before, I emailed already these bidders, but now the seller does his auctions private, so I can´t see the bidder-names. And OT: We have another wonderful warm and sunny day. Blue sky, white clouds - like the guestbook. ;-)) i just got cataract surgery, so my vision is still improving, but i believe that i see arches on both of his bare feet. isn't that impossible, when we had been told he had flat feet? i am referring to the alledged photo of the young rickman. Well, all these posts made me curious so I went to have a look. *muffled laughter*. Alan Rickman's head on an orang-outang's body! (Ahem, no disrespect meant to the rightful owner of the body). Ah, of course, it could be that the photo was taken at the end of a very intensive body-building week for Alan... in which case I hastily withdraw the orang outang remark but mmmh. I have my doubts too. I reckon the seller deserves the $20. For the laugh!:) - Yep, Ebay is like any other market place: some honest trading and some rip-offs. However I'm sure that as a rule people are sensible with their money... I can't see that bid going very high. Often these guys get organized and bid on their own auctions anyway... maybe that's what the bid is. At least I have a reason to be concerned now-it looks like someone has cut off Alan Rickman's head and attached it to some other persons body. And one arm looks waaaaaaay longer than the other. Plus the hands don't look like they belong with the arms. Quite grotesque really, and must have been quite painful. No wonder he has a broken clavicle.Doctor Georgiana to the rescue? Speaking as a professional computer graphics artist, I have to say that the Young Alan Rickman image is one of the most hideous attempts at Photoshop that I have seen outside of the World Weekly News..... Infact -- the World Weekly News is at least consistent in their portrayal of Bat Boy.... Catherine, I also wrote the seller about the fake photo and she told me that her supplier had promised to provide her with the original magazine article from which it came. I'm not holding my breath... Maybe if more people write, she will remove it from auction. I've already asked her to no avail. I have the original photo (of Alan's head) and it's obviously a "cut and paste" job. I hate to see someone get ripped off by yet another Ebay creep. i just took a look at the photo too of a younger AR, and i don't know., the arms and hands just don't look like his. Don't get me wrong, maybe it is him, the face is for sure, but the rest of him i'm not sure of. thats just my opinion.... My, yes, but that "young Alan Rickman" at ebay looks like he has a broken neck! Or at the very least a fractured clavicle. Ha! Hello Everyone, Thanks for your answers to my posts about the collection of AR videos. O.T. I hope that everyone didn't think that the request for Ali and I to take our personal posts off the GB was offensive to me at all. I didn't jump to conclusions at all. I simply apologized and later saw a post encouraging Ali to set up her own site. I think that Ali may have taken it the wrong way, I guess I would have too being in her shoes, but I in no way took that request personally and have tried hard to avoid posting personally, but when matters need clearing they need clearing. Maybe outside the GB would have been a better place to clear, but, like I said, no one seems to post their e-mail anymore.
Sorry if I in any way have offended anyone, I have in no way meant to.
Ok, concerning Rickman, kind of. I just about 30 minutes ago finished the 4th Harry Potter...GOF. It was wonderful.
SPOILER IN A BIG WAY... I couldn't believe that Mad Eye Moody was the one, but not really the one. What do you all guess that our dear Professors task was at the end of the book?? I have a hunch but it's not good, so I won't share it. Rowling always likes to take quite a apin, and that's what makes her books so wonderful. But, what do you all think it could have been??????? Elizabeth: A Fan Etiquette Handbook - excellent idea. There's nothing more cringe-inducing than seeing a female "fan" shoving her cleavage in her idol's face at a convention signing, or asking if she can feel his butt. Or any fan pilfering the idol's empty water bottles, dried out pens, soiled kleenex or chicken bones from lunch. Or foisting one's homemade CDs or audition tapes on the innocent celeb.(All examples really happened at appearances for a certain TV vampire with peroxide hair and amazing abs.) A question for all the GBers: If you were to go to a convention/signing for a favourite actor/writer/director/artist/musician, what would you think of how various fans behave? I ask this, because I've seen some really embarassing behavior (not like getting a fit of the giggles, or something like that; more on the order of being clueless or rude) on the part of some of the people who are supposedly fans of the above. What are your thoughts on this? Perhaps there should be a "Fan Etiquette Handbook"? :)
Thought this was interesting*>>>>>>>>>Erika Christensen, Mandy Moore, Lauren Ambrose and Alicia Witt are in talks to star opposite Joan Allen and Kevin Costner in Mike Binder's MDP Worldwide feature THE UPSIDE OF ANGER. Production begins in late August or early September. It's a family drama about a mother and her four strong-willed daughters who must suddenly deal with life without a husband/father. Costner will play a former baseball player and friend of the family. >>>>>>>Mike Binder?????Isn't he the guy who did The Search for John Gissing? You would think he would get one movie released before he starts on another.Wonder if he will have better luck with this one? Snape's Star Pupil--thanks for that very funny story! Good to hear that they are having a good time on the set. I got this from the Leaky Cauldron, apologies if it has already been posted!
Victoria, a reporter in the UK, interviewed Sir Ian McKellan this weekend about X2, and he also spoke about the Harry Potter series and his friends in the cast. She sent us this report:
Sir Ian Mckellen told the audience that he was sitting next Alan Rickman at showing of Ghosts, a play at the Barbican Centre in London that afternoon (3rd May) and that he asked Alan how the filming on was going. "All well and good," replied Mr. Rickman. "Except Mike Gambon and his Fart Machine."
"Fart machine?" said Sir Ian.
"Yes, he put it in Harry Potter's bed when we were filming..."
Also, during the Q&A at the end of the talk Sir Ian was asked whether he would like to give advice to Sir Michael Gambon on playing a wizard. "I do not think that I could give advice to Sir Mike on anything; he will be very good. I hear that he took a very long time to negotiate his fee for playing Dumbledore so he must know what he is doing...."
Oh, that´s really a problem with Ebay. We have the same on Ebay.de (Germany), too. In earlier times, I e-mailed the bidder and sent him a picture with the real sign of Mr. Rickman. Then the seller started (and still starts) his AR-Fakes in private auctions. Really unhappy situation. I don´t want to buy (!!!) something signed of Mr. Rickman. I want to stand beneath him and watch him signing the item I asked for. (I would put it in a frame and hang it over my bed.) *ggg* Yes Catherine, we spotted that on our board too. Even managed to pinpoint the original photo that they had decapitated and pasted from!! All I can say is if anybody thought that was real they better check in at the opticians soon. I have seen several *certificated* autographs too that are obvious fakes. Hello GB'ers!
Has anyone check out AR items on ebay lately? You MUST check out a photo titled - Young AR rare b/w press photo - it is SOOO fake!!! It offended me so much I had to write to "ask the seller a question". I asked where they got such an obvious fake & perhaps it had been foisted on them by someone else. I said that any devoted AR fan would not accept it because the hands were a dead giveaway!
Well, the seller wrote back saying that the person she bought it from assured her it was an early press photo and if I thought it was a fake then I shouldn't bid on it!
I just didn't want a true (& perhaps new)fan of AR being taken.
Do check this out!!! It's so hideous & very scary!
We all hate this kind of thing happening to our dear AR. For my AR collection, I have: Quigley Down Under, Blow Dry, Rasputin, Robin Hood, Harry Potter SS, Harry Potter CoS, Dark Harbor, still trying to get An Awfully Big Adventure, Die Hard (waiting for the new release).
Finally!!! got my Professor Snape figure, and also Lockhard, Harry and Tom Riddle. I love to collection figures, so now that they are 50% off, I'm getting them all :-) sonoma, Beth, Ulrike : I was happy to share the wonderful photos of AR with you! For AR maniacs who havenft visited the pages yet, here you are: http://www.fanclub.ne.jp/~aigle/alan/birthday2.html
http://www.nd.edu/~tchapman/alanencounter.html
Let me briefly explain what is written in the Japanese page where AR is giving his autograph. The Japanese person (in the photo) handed AR a bunch of gHappy Birthday to ARh messages written by many Japanese AR fans. AR said gOh, my god!h and kindly gave her his autograph and a short message. You can find AR is holding a small present (a doll?) given by her. Absolutely fantastic AR!
Here in Japan, AR is not yet as popular as other British stars such as Hugh Grant or Anthony Hopkins. But I think AR fans and fan sites have been increasing since the Harry Potter series. Ifm one of them who have been infatuated with AR ever since I saw the Harry Potter films!
Dear Contraction Fairy: Aruba is perfect for a discreet encounter with the adorably sexy Alan Rickman. Since three's a crowd you wouldn't mind waiting ouside would you? Wear a hat and hang on; Aruba is quite breezy.
Re the chemistry lessons, is it safe to say Alan's sexual preferences have been called into question? (How astute of me, eh.) In my very rich fantasy life, Alan is straight as an arrow but if not, there is someone very dear to my heart who may be of interest. Anyway. Whatever. Here's to Alan. A strong constitution and a good sense of humour to you and yours. Love, Sandy. Lee I was walking in the carpark of a major shopping centre here. A mobile units from a radio station was nearby the crew was talking and all I heard was "It works on the premise of love at first sight" Then the women mentioned something about Die Hard. I wanted to ask them but I just prefered to think that the fellow had read your story. About two hours later figured that he might have been talking about Love Actually. Yet I prefer to think he was connected to your story. Help, I'm confused. Ali, I hope my post came across as intended (now I'm afraid it didn't). I was only trying to keep the things "light" in my post to you and sincerely hope I didn't inadvertently offend you. (I always think humor, even, especially, bad humor makes a serious subject easier to discuss.) Did you think you weren't wanted here? I don't understand what the murmuring is about, but I want to make it perfectly clear that you are WELCOME, loved, appreciated, you-name-it. Long live the Rickmaniac Sisterhood! Sorry hit the button too soon. I meant to add at least they are available to you..Not here unless I order it..Not in the bargain buys..Although MC was advertised at Myers for mothers day in a two for $40 deal. The problem is I could buy two of them as the other movies did not appeal yet I am on a post holiday budjet. Lucky you Trish. With our Bananna republic (OZ) dollar that would be $200 LOL Oops, I forgot to say what I came here to post! I spent around $100 on my AR video collection, but it's still not complete. I still need Dark Harbor, Fallen Angels and a couple of others. And I can't wait for the new Robin Hood DVD! Is it going to be region 1? I can't remember. Ditto Puzzled. Instead of giving the "patronising stay on topic blah blah" "just a reminder of the rules here... even though I am not the sherrif here". I thought to encourage Ali to be personal in a creative way that would be appreciated. It went without saying A.R. talk is encouraged. I duno either, Puzzled. Someone asked Ali and Beth to take their personal posts (about finding a place to meet up) to e-mail which I agree is only right since it doesn't interest the rest of the world. But some people jump to conclusions by thinking that means they don't want them to post at all, even if it's about AR, which is ridiculous. Go figure. I have probably spent about 150.00 US. on my AR film collection. I am kind of funny about spending money on tapes or DVD's. I only will buy ones I will actually watch. Such "gems" as Dark Harbor are strictly rentals for me and even if Quigley is at Wal-Mart for 5.99 on VHS, its still not worth the money to just sit there on the shelf. As for upcoming projects, I am sure Love Actually will be a keeper as will Prisoner of Azkaban. Regarding the new DVD Special Edition Robin Hood(already own both the tape and DVD)I will buy that IF there are any Rickman worthy "extras" on it. Did someone kick Ali off the GB? I'm scrolling through and all I see are posts of a supportive and constructively critical nature. How much did you all pay for your AR video collection approx.?? I am going to try and have a complete one before the end of the summer since I will finally have time to work. I just want to see if this is possible! !!!Adios!! P.S. O.T. Someone put Ali back on, even if she's kicking and screaming!! Thank you for the translation, Carole. I'm sure your English is worlds better than my French. But it sounds like the info isn't even accurate! Hiromi, those are wonderful photos of Alan Rickman! Could you say briefly what the Japanese writing says? I can only read the katakana (the words "Alan Rickman"). It's nice to see him being so kind with his fans. As for the sleeves, maybe they keep his hands warm? Hello Deb, I don't have the movie network either (so sad). But last month, I bought Blow Dry in dvd at Future Shop on line. I was very lucky, there were only 2 dvds left at the time. Maybe they have some more now. I really love the movie, Alan is so great! The web-site with all the fans stories that our new JApanese fan shared with us is absolutly WONDERFUL. I suggest everyone go and see it.
P.S. O.T. Ali- please e-mail me. If you don't feel like posting atleast e-mail me so that we can still talk about the wonderful ways of Alan, off topic or not. Bye girlie!!! ALI - DON'T LEAVE... I LOVE YOU GIRL!!!! What am I going to do without a fellow GA lover of Alan????? Ali is a lovely person and shouldn't be discouraged from posting here. Please keep posting, Ali. Maybe you could keep the private discussions off the board and talk about everything else here, but don't stop talking about our favorite actor. It's nice to have so many different people here with different perspectives. Christine, this is why neophytes shouldn't be allowed near the internet. Too many laypeople draw erroneous conclusions from inconclusive data. See this article for a conglomerate of current data pertaining to biochemical/biological/sexual orientation studies: Gay Men's Brains Found Different. Please note the following quote from aforementioned article: "The homosexuals had lower creatinine and 17-ketogenic steroid levels, lower androsterone-etiocholanolone ration, and higher 11-keto-etiocholanolone. They also had lower triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, and beta-lopoproteins. It was concluded that the data support the thesis of an unidentified common factor underlying physical/personality characteristics and homosexuality."
Sorry to be OT; I won't discuss this further on the GB.
Sandy, you're thinking of my sister, The Contraction Fairy. It's hard to keep all of us straight, I know. Just the other day a person on the street said "Yo, Tinkerbell!" and I had to inform him that my cousin Tink is significantly smaller and wears a little green dress, whereas I wear a little black dress because it's suitable for all occasions.
And I would prefer being told to go to Aruba, yes ;-) (Especially if The Man is waiting for me there in bungalow no. 5.) (With bells on, because fairies are keen on bells.) Hello Rickmaniacs! Dear Contractions Hurt Fairy: Please do not feel hurt. I do not know you but suspect you only had Good Intentions in mind when correcting the punctuation of others. :) So Alan doesn't have an "interactive site" (if this is the right term for it). I had to smile when you said he would invite you to go "somewhere warm" - this could be a number of places you know and I prefer to think Alan would invite you to a Caribbean Resort rather than a Dante's Inferno. ;)
Sandy. Just heard on the news about the tornados in the U.S. Midwest. Hope all G.B. posters and their friends and families are okay. Hi, this is Hiromi, Japan! Many thanks to all of your replies!
Carolyn, dear Carolyn: The URL of a web site where lots of real life photos of AR are put on is: http://www.nd.edu/~tchapman/alanencounter.html
Also, the URL where AR (looks so sweet!) is signing his autograph to his Japanese fan is: http://www.fanclub.ne.jp/~aigle/alan/birthday2.html
I hope you enjoy seeing AR (incredibly cool) there! Please let me know your impression!
Ali: Wow! Fantastic! Thanks! I was so excited to hear your story that you saw AR in person!! Ifm so happy to hear that AR was being so nice to his fans! I wondercif he put on gaude-cologneh (correct English?) or something. Christian Dior or some French fragrance might suit for AR... What do you think?
Lisa: It would be great if we could meet in Germany when I visit there!Ifll talk to you soon!
I just noticed that today at 3:15PM ont The Movie Network they are showing Blow Dry. I don't have The Movie Network (boo hoo) but happy Rickman viewing to those who do. ( Carole, peut-être??) So what is going on with the french gardening love story? Anybody hear anything about that? I do wish that Rickman would do another play on the west end or broadway or Seattle or somewhere....I for one, cannot afford to fly over to London for a one nighter, even a very noble important one nighter. But for a play, well that's another kettle of fish... O.T. O.K. Ali set up your own page perhaps? You could talk about yourself and your work. Your fans would be proud. You need not reveal your email as they would email you. Who knows an aspiring young Rickman in the making may then be able to find you. (It is said A.R. is too busy to bother lurking here). I mean this as a way of encouraging you to be creative, yet in an environment that appreciates you. Mr. Rickman, I'd like to comment you on your work as Professor Severus Snape in the first and second "Harry Potter" films. You played a highly wonderful yet vindictive character and your truly "thespian" voice adds on to your perfect depiction of Snape. You are truly a marvolous actor and you deserve all merits. Narcissism is excusable. Kudos from my "boyfriend" Reese.
P.S.
Please keep the long hair, it rocks! Hello Sonoma, I will translate the french text it goes like this: Alan Rickman plays the role of a husband to a young woman from which the prime minister of Britain will falls in love with, between others things...
Strange, I thought Emma Thompson (The wife) was supposed to be the prime minister's sister????
(I hope I didn't make too much mistakes in spelling. My english is a bit rusty.) Hiromi: what is the url for the site? @Hiromi: You`ll visit Germany this summer? So, we`ll meet us on Schloss Neuschwanstein or before the townhall of Munich, during the Glockenspiel... ;-))) I go to bed now, its midnight here... rickmanic dreams to you all! Good night! Hello, Hiromi, and welcome! To answer your question about how AR is in person, I can tell you that when I saw him in action at the stage door of the Richard Rodgers Theater after the recent production of Private Lives in New York City, he was unfailingly polite, patient, and gracious with everyone he encountered. Everyone who asked him to sign something, pose for a photo, or shake his hand was granted their request with a smile and a softly spoken, "Sure". He has a well-earned reputation of being generous and appreciative of his fans. "Gay men have less testosterone"... that bit of "news" piqued my curiosity. It doesn't take much to set me off on a research quest, so off I went to Google, typing in "testosterone + gay men". As I thought, that is incorrect, according to most sources. It may have something to do with the amount of hormones the fetus receives shortly before birth. But increasing testosterone in an adult simply raises the sex drive; it does nothing to change sexual orientation. Apologies to everyone on the GB. Ali and I will most definitely carry on our conversation through e-mail (if she agrees to this request ;)), but everyone seems to have a bad habit of not posting their e-mail addresses anymore... myself included. So, I'm sorry again, and I will try to do better before I get detention from Prof. Snape(cause that would be horrible)!! I hung up the response to my fan letter to Alan. Even though I'm moving out in a week, less than that now, I figured what a thing to wake up to, even if it wasn't from him. It's the principal of the matter. Anyway, bye ladies and gents! Actually, Ali, it's biochemical. Gay men have less testosterone...there are gay animals in the animal kingdom--enough to duly represent the gay/straight ratio in humankind--and so the lemming's wife didn't drive Mr. Lemming into the arms of the hunky repairlemming (furry butt cleavage and all). (Though she may be held responsible for driving him over a cliff. Ancestral instincts, desperation, who's to say.)
Still Learning, I have a micromanaging mother, too. You should tell her someday that you're a big girl now and can look after your own grammar. (And teachers are *paid* to do that, you know. And they don't typically follow their students around years after graduation because the thought of a stray semicolon keeps them awake at night.)
Sandy, Ian McKellen has a site through which he answers fans' questions. Wouldn't it be luverly if Mr. Rickman, *hint hint*, had one, too?! (If he did read this he'd probably tell me to go someplace warm ;-)
I found one AR fan web page where real life pictues of AR are put on. These are taken by his fans when they encountered AR at the stage doors. In most photos, he had a big smile. He looked a bit over weight in some photos.
The photos show he is genteel, thoughtful person. Did anyone see real life photos of AR or AR in person? If so, what's your impression? SOME WOMEN...now I know why some men are gay! OT and just for the record, er, my mother still corrects my grammar, pronunciation, punctuation and spelling even after all these years. Even though it's a bit irritating, I appreciate it, 'cause I know my mother loves me and it's okay to know how to spell and stuff. No harm, eh?? So thankful my kids finally dragged me (kicking & screaming) into the 21st century and onto the internet. There is zero info on Alan (can I call him Alan?) in this part of the world and without this site I would be completely uninformed. Does Alan have an official or authorized site where we can bug him endlessly with inane questions and comments? Diehard is on next Sunday night at 8.30 p.m in Melbourne on Channel 7. The dishes went flying the sudds flew when I heard AR's voice ..I thought, yep I have gone over the line and am now hearing voices. As delectable as the voice is I really do not desire adding schizophrenia to my list of personal complaints. To my relief AR wasn't calling me "cowboy" it was the voice over for the show. How many other Aussies received this cheap thrill? I will SMS Aussiegirl as her 'puter is down.
Contractions are not the device of a fairy. It is a little red devil with a very pointy prong. Carolyn, dear Carolyn, thanks for the invitation! Heaven on earth sounds just the right place to be with Metatron! In the name of peace, love, and goodwill: Ali, Beth, please exchange e-mail addresses. I think it's great that the two of you have hit it off, I hope you guys have a great time, but the GB really isn't the place for posting messages of a personal nature. I say this as the unofficial diplomat because a few little birdies have told me that the "Dear Ali" "Dear Beth" posts are beginning to go afowl of (did you catch that--"afowl"--hee hee) (ahem) GB conviviality. And I think you're a coupla swell kids (I get to say that because I'm 11 years older than you) (hush, it makes me feel *important*), and I don't want to see you get the fast end of a shutupnow stick.
Have a blast for me, Ok?!! (I've got Georgia on my mind :-() Here is photos of AR taken by a Japanese fan. He is giving her his autograph at the backstage. AR looks so sweet in the photos! This is an AR fan site created by a Japanese AR
fan and the rest of the web page is written in Japanese but I hope you can find the photos all right.
http://www.fanclub.ne.jp/~aigle/alan/birthday2.html Ulrike: I am so sorry!! I wrote your name wrong in my previous message. Please forgive me! I'm planning to visit Germany this summer on vacation. This is my first time and I'm studying German right now. (Ich bin Hiromi.)
Bavaria: Thanks for your reply! Because of Harry Potter, AR is getting popular here in Japan!
I understand English, so I'm happy to listen to his a deep, milky baritone! There are quite a few AR fan pages here in Japan, too. There is a Japanese fan who visited him at the back stage and got his autograph! Do you want to see the photo of AR signing his name with a smile? I'll let you know the URL later!
Ali, I don't really want to carry this on in the GB because I know that folks don't appreciate it. Like I said, e-mail anytime. And yep, we felt the quake quite nicely down here in Auburn. Ali-Pat, have you seen the pic with his hair long? It's one of the recent ones on Rex. It suprised me! But I've got to admit, I like it. Well, I have no idea how accurate CinéLive is in their responses to readers'questions--maybe not very! For what it's worth, their words are: "Alan Rickman joue le mari d'une jeune femme dont le Premier Ministre britannique tombe amoureux, entre autres réjouissances." Maybe something got turned around in the translation? It's a pretty nice magazine but I'm still waiting for them to do an interview or profile on AR... Jayne: welcome to GB! I didn't feel the earthquake. Did you feel it? If you're ever in Atlanta let me know, because Beth and I are planning a small meet and greet. Carolyn, another poster, might be in on it too! I'm inviting anyone who is in, or who will be in the Atlanta area in the near future. Alabama's not to far so maybe you could make a meet and greet. By the way..."Roll Tide", I'm just kidding I know that's your schools arch enemy! I used to live in Mobile, so I know about the Tigers and elephants(Oh My). Ulrike: if you'll promise to be there with me when Metatron arrives I'll bring a glass for you also! Oh, could you pick up some coarse salt and a lime on your way over? I forgot to tell you the name of the store. Ready? Heaven on Earth! You're right Sabine, serait annoncé means to be announced.
Very nice site! Bravo!(My first visit here.)
Hiromi, how wonderful to hear from your corner of the earth - it shows that AR's effect on people (women!!) is worldwide. Have you ever heard his voice or do you only see the dubbed versions of his films? alan rickman is the gest actor in the whole world
and he has the sexest voice O/T yall, sorry! Ali and Beth, I just saw you mentioned "earthquake"? Did one of yall feel it to? E-mail me please! gillejcATauburnDOTedu (replacing the obvious symbols). Thanks! Beth: how does May 17th sound? I'm excited too, it'll be great to meet someone from the GB! Hope to hear from you soon. Alan was mentioned in Woman's Day magazine. It's the May 6th issue. It mentions him on page 30. The article read:
If you could go on a dream date with anyone who would it be?
One reader responded,
"Alan Rickman. I love his range as an actor: He's egomaniacal in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, a madman in Die Hard and a gentleman in Sense and Sensibility."
Mary Furniss, Clarks Hill,IN
It also has a small thumbnail size picture of him.
I wonder if Mary's a poster here?! Everyone!! I got a respone to my fan letter. The response was from Melanie someone... I think Thompson. It was really nice and she said that she would most definitely send the letter on to him, but she didn't think he could respond personally because of his work with HP. She said she really spprciated my time in writing, and that she knew he really loves his fans, and loves their devotion to him. So, I thought you guys would love to hear that.
Ali- I love food as well. This is going to be so much fun. I'm so looking forward to it. I'm sorry I haven't beenon much - my compuer is being stupid. So, I have to randomly use other peoples computers. So, no I didn't feel the earthquake. I wish I would have, that would have been a neat experiance... scary, but neat. Man, this is goin to be cool. Let's set a date. I'm going to be home on May 10th. That's a saturday. So, what would be a good weekend for you? I have to get a job this summer so the week days may not be good. Just let me know. Any weekend would be awesome!! Ok, later
My French is pretty rusty, but doesn't "serait annoncé" mean "to be announced?" Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong! :-)
As far as "Love Actually" goes: I thought that AR plays Emma Thompson's husband and that she plays the Prime Minister's sister? I've just received my new Cinélive and there's a letter to the editor from an Alan Rickman fan, asking for information on Love Actually. The magazine just says it's a romantic comedy in which 10 love stories cross and collide with one another in the streets of London, with a little detour through France, at the time of the Christmas réveillon. Alan Rickman plays the husband of a young woman with whom the British Prime Minister falls in love. Then something about it being advertised for the French screens for Christmas Eve (logically). My French isn't the greatest! Off Topic: And my tenses are awful. Could a French speaker please translate "serait annoncé" for me? Halfwit, my commendations to you. Tres droll my dear. AliPat, I just realized recently that An Awfully Big Adventure is the subtitle to Peter Pan, and I have that same mixed CD. The title gave me a start when I was given it, but now I know it's not a Rickman link ( but I like to think of it that way!). (makes me think of him) On Eastenders the current long lost illegitimate person has the last name of Rickman, and I look up everytime someone says it! (I know UKers, you already know the answers, but we are about 3 weeks behind in broadcasts.)My stepdaughter watched the CoS AR interview and called me to say "wow he's cute!" I had to agree. I was wondering the same thing, ContractionFairy! Here is a Rickman site. Now I don't think it is for everyone. Yet if you like Rickman are young and/or like to type in a youthful way enjoy. You have been warned http://pub189.ezboard.com/balanrickmandiscussion Hello from Japan! My name is Hiromi. I'm a Japanese woman working as a technical translator. Allan Richman is so cool! Ever since I watched Prof. Snape, I'm completely hooked.... his voice, his outlook, everything!! AR is absolutely gorgeous and sexy!
I'm so happy that I found such a nice
web page and send a message to AR fans like you! I'd be delighted if anyone of you dropped me a few lines! Thanks for posting the photo, Sue. It's always great to see Mr. Rickman out and about. I wish he'd pop up in my local paper, sometime! And Ali-Pat, you're watching Benefactors? Can I come over?? Thank you so much for the reference to Chaos Rose's stories. I just picked one at random and it is hilarious! Thanks Sue for not overlooking the pic in ES! He looks good! This is only related to AR by extension, but since he did play the "best Captain Hook there ever has been" I guess I can sqeak by with this.
I have been enjoying listening to two different CDs associated with Peter Pan. The first is Peter and Wendy, written and arranged by Johnny Cunningham for the Mabou Mines puppet production of the same name. If you enjoy Celtic music, you will really like this one, and you will recognize some big names in the performers list.
The second CD is An Awfully Big Adventure: The Best of Peter Pan 1904-1996. These are arrangements of songs and melodies from four different incarnations of the Peter Pan story: the 1904 play by Barrie, the 1950 Jean Arthur/Leonard Bernstein production, the 1953 Disney film, and the 1954 musical that starred Mary Martin. There are also a couple of pieces written just for this recording. I am particularly entranced by this CD, for some reason. Must be that pirate song...
Anyway, just, you know, FYI. CdC have your loyalties changes from the PM to Metatron? That's one less Snape Wench to deal with. Dear GBers:In keeping with the post(ings) regarding great fanfics, try Chaos Rose's "Like Cats and Dogs" at fanfiction.net...it's a work-in-progress, and you'll find it under the "R" rated, "humor" section, with Severus as the main character. (You might want to read her other Emily Mayborne/Snape stories first, so you get a sense of who Emily is.) Guarenteed to have you snorting milk through your nose!
I almost missed this one. I checked out the Evening Standard's ES Magazine tonight but this slipped by until a later peruse!! Another Picture from the Hitchcock Blonde Gala held in aid of the Royal Court Theatre. I have a strong suspicion that there is an AR fan in the ES offices! Gosh, Kit, don't hold back! Actually, I agree with you on most points.
Somebody made a point a few days ago about how long AR's hair is getting. Maybe he is growing it out for a ROLE? (yes, please, yes, please, yes, please) Right, I've checked my own links and the correct address for Human Rights Watch is www.hrw.org. Do pay it a visit, it is a very informative site as well as a very easy-to-navigate one. Nathalie, pleurons ensemble! (Nathalie, let's drown this GB in a flood of bitter French tears!) (who said French was not a concise language?;) - Not that I can't afford the £75, I'm sure if I crawled all over my flat and searched under the sofa's cushions and inspected the bottom of drawers, handbags and jeans' pockets I could probably scrape the amount but um... this sort of ticket price is one way of 'selecting' the audience. Ever got this feeling that everybody is staring at you because you're the only person there who's *not* a celebrity and came to enjoy the show rather than to be seen? ;) - Ah, well, it's a small venue and it's for an excellent cause so I'll wish them the best and best-off of audience and just be pleased that I got to hear David Hare (a co-star of Alan on 11th) at Collateral Damage. His reading was brilliant. In case anybody is curious about Human Rights Watch's work, their website is on www.hrw.org (or www.hrw.com, I forget). I'm sure donations from all sources are very gratefully received! :) Oh, this is too funny: I just got a mailer from my neighborhood metaphysical store. Yes, I'm on their mailing list. On the back, there is a list of upcoming events. May 31 has "Channeling Metatron!" Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting desperate for an AR encounter of any sort. I plan on being at the shop with bells on...and a quart of tequila! Beth, thank you! I agree, CATS sucks. Jay Leno once said that women come out of that show saying "wow" and men come out saying "what was that?" I'm a female, but I'm with the guys on this one. The only halfway decent/memorable song is Memory, and I'm sick of that one.Most of ALW whose musical ideas are rather limited, but he owns most of the world, so his stuff goes on. I'm a music person, too! I have a question that was answered years ago but I forget the answer: which is the more intense disease: Rickmanitis or Rickmania? I think I have both, and as ES is fond of saying There is No Antidote! (having to him in Phantom might dampen a little of the symptoms.) Some friends of mine agree with me that the world's worst movie would star Kevin Costner, Richard Gere,Jennifer Lopez, and Gywneth Paltrow. Start snoring now. yes Lee - about Metatron. if you want to email me about it, you are welcome. Re: Metatron: I've just been reading a book on Kabbalah and I came across a description of a vision in which appeared Metatron, "The Prince of the Countenance." Are any of you familiar with this aspect of Metatron? Do any of you know if U.S. diskettes will work in U.K. computers? Congratulations on putting together a fantastic site. It's easily one of the best I've ever seen. Well done. Hello everyone: just some quick info. and a few recommendations for fans of Snape fics. There's a new AR fan site out on the net. It can be found on http://alanrickman.electric-chi.com. It was created by my beta reader Elyse. I think you'll like it. And here's some recommendations for anyone on the lookout for more Snape fics they haven't read. They're found on fanfiction.net: Elyse (Connections), (LadyBrannon) Excerpts from the Diary of Hermione Anne Granger - this is hilariously funny and quite racy, (shadowycat) Bound by the Moon and Shadow of the Moon - these are non-slash fics about Snape and Lupin. No romance, but this author writes an incredible Snape. And how can you resist a story where a secondary character calls him "Sweetmeat"? Hello! I haven't got any guestions I just want to say SHAKESPEARE WAS RIGHT! What fussbudget has nothing better to do than correct grammar? That is incredibly rude. If you knew anything about etiquette (dubious) you would know that to correct another person's spelling and grammar is a major faux pas. I thought everyone here was more enlightened and tactful than that. Ali: but contractions might. Just breathe through it till the urge to bear down comes along. "Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but "Words" will never hurt me!" To the Contraction Fairy. Janine - emailed you a few days ago, but not sure whether you got it! (Sorry about OT folks!) This is certainly a busy site. It's nice to find a wide range of ages too in the many admirers of Alan Rickman. I'm a new fan and can't possibly figure out how I managed to not notice him all these years. I'm ashamed to say I didn't really see him til he was Snape and even tho' the hairstyle is slightly unflattering, something sweetly sexy shines through. Since then I've watched Die Hard and Robin Hood and have been completely hooked ever since. I love the way he can take an otherwise loathsome character and make him charming enough that you don't mind he's just blown someone's head off. He's a brilliant actor. Of course I don't have to convice anyone here of that Enjoy the weekend and take care. Sandy. £75!!!!!!oh no I can't believe it is. too expensive for my empty pockets. Want to weep... To CdC May 1 11:29:22 PDT, SO TRUE!!!! Has anybody heard about how things are going on HP3?!! I have given up re his birthday cards. I know AR is busy - just hope there is some response from his managers....... There just seems there is a Quiet Time at the moment. Is RH in retirement now? You're. The contraction combining the words "you" and "are." The "A" gets dropped so you fill its space with the apostrophe. Y-O-U-'-R-E Beth: Hope your'e still out there. I'm sure your'e busy studying for exams. Maybe your'e listening to Andrew Lloyd Webber's Greatest Hits! Have you heard of Josh Groban? He has a great voice, and uses great music to accompany him. You should really get his CD. Anyway, Just sign back when you get a chance.
Superwitch's story is brilliant! Very cleaver premise, wonderful love interest for the Potions Master and it's very beautifully written. if anyone is at all interested, i have a Snape-fic on fanfiction.net called The Coiled Splendour. hi to everyone... CdC - Nice music on that site! Greetings to all the Hodson's, Robinson's, and Jackson's. Do your homework And a raised fist of unity for all my beloved Socialists this May Day! I knew Alan loved musical theater! All the more reason to adore him. My type of guy. And a Happy Vappu to all our Finnish friends!!;) DRAT! Once again, I forgot to mention something in my last post.
Joyous Beltane!
~Katie C~ :oP Hi There, Newcomers!
(Not really OT) I came out of Lurkdom this morning and had quite a laugh over some of the newer Rickmaniacs. One post in particular caught my eye.
Love to all, once agin welcome to the new kids. Thank you, Janine! I tried to email you this morning, but aol was not working. I will look for your story. Beth: I didn't feel the earthquake, did you? That would be great if we could have more people in on the meet, the more the merry! I know you HATE Cats Beth, but wouldn't you love to see Alan in a pair of spandex ha ha ha!? I like Alan, but I think I draw the line at an 80's designed spandex costume. Your'e right, Cats is a pretty bad musical. Therefore, I think Mr.Costner would be great in it! Alan would actually give the show some comic relief. We see what he did with that horrible script from RHPOT. Hey "join in the community":yes. But "the community" has been locked up in the dungeon and I'm a few meter from Hogward ground! Please let me in! I'll do everything...;D I made up a story about AR for you. (It is posted in Rickmanland) Yet I am afraid I am rather anal at portraying him as anything but a admirable but slightly excitable . Sort of like a Steve Martin character but English. I am reading "that" book and Rima seems to be the wise and humorous woman that seems to be his yin or would she be the yan..?
----- Original Message -----
CDC I think it was called being John Malchovic..it was the correct story just about the wrong actor. lol Yet I am heartened by the fact that the Col part was written for Ar and I like to think that this is a reflection of his "good days".

Opened my paytv magazine for June and WHOOHOOO - Guess who's on the front cover? Superspunk himself in the guise of Snape! Promoting HP1 on Movie One (wouldn't you know I don't subscribe to that one!). There doesn't seem to be any other AR movies for the whole of June on paytv (in Australia). Got a bit excited when I saw The History Channel was having a Russian Month (Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great etc) but no Rasputin. However, Encore is showing the 1965 Rasputin with Christopher Lee on June 4 and 20.

Agenda
"While one welcomes the news that Al Pacino is to cross the Atlantic with co-star Marisa Tomei for a West End production of Oscar Wilde's Salome,it is hard to arouse the same enthusiasm for the news that Mr. and Mrs. Michael Douglas are gearing themselves up for a London run of Noel Coward's Private Lives. Zeta-jones seems a little young FOR the role - but that hasn't stopped her in the past."

I'd like to dress him, What if I were his stylist,(!?) and he does need one. I'd take him shopping, better yet, measure him (!) do the shopping for him and bring it to him to try on. I'd get him some really nice cushy t-shirts with a narrow banded somewhat lower cut neckline, both pure white and black, a good black suitcoat, and a grey tweed, a casual jacket like a golf/windshell, navy maybe (lose that rumpled raincoat, just walk past the dumpster and pitch it in!) let's see, jeans. Dark denim, button fly, boot cut. All men should have one pair of jeans that are absolutely destroyed too, with rips in all the proper places, some Polo khakis - sexy on most guys, they don't really need to do more. The other photo of the linen suit (ugh) linen is really awful if you have to spend any time in it at all - it just never looks fresh. - he should never wear a shirt with a collar if it isn't properly pressed, and why wear a collared shirt for casual dress? of course I'd probably have the guy working out, doing pilates for the abs, he's end up hating my guts and I haven't even approached the hair here.

RE:
"One of the most bizarre exhibits at the Chelsea Flower Show yesterday was an old grey bloom with curious orange-brown streaks on top. So what was this wooden-spoon winning exhibit? Step forward dour thespian Alan Rickman and his cringe-making dyed hair."
I wasn't really upset that they said something snarky about DaMan, as he isn't everyone's cup of tea and I recognize that....but, the first thought that ran through my mind was that 'duh, he's an actor' -- and actors dye their hair all the time for roles. So, to me the insult didn't really make much sense or hit home. It is like when Paltrow went brunette for a few months while shooting "Bounce." I think she looks better blonde, but it is pretty obvious that hair is something you change as an actor to assist in the creation of character.
Maybe I'm just weird. Or maybe I *did* actually learn something studying theatre as an undergrad...LOL!

The famous torturer takes a walk
Whom does he see standing there in the snow
A pretty girl in a wedding dress
What are you doing out there all alone in the cold
You're the famous torturer much feared
I beg you to spare my love
Who is in your darkest prison cell
I wish to marry him etc.
I will not give back your bridegroom
He must be tortured tonight
By me personally
You can come along and help him lament his fate
She remained where she was
The night was cold and very long
Down by the slaughterhouse a dog-like creature howled
Then the snow started to fall again

I just visited the Japanese site Hiromi gave us and looked at the pictures. Lovely! And there is something I have wanted to ask you for a long time: It seems that AR loves to wear clothing of which the sleeves are slightly too long. I noticed it already years ago, when I watched Sense and Sensibility for the first time! You can see it both in his films and in private pictures. Isn't it a pity to see his wonderful hands half-hidden under these long sleeves?
(That's why I enjoy the scene in Galaxy Quest so much when he's calling "Lieutenant Madison" with only a T-Shirt on :)

If anyone wants to repeat my Google search for themselves, don't worry -- you will not have gay porn site pictures popping up and assaulting your delicate sensibilities. (I know someone who claims she hardly ever uses the internet because she doesn't want to see "stuff like that" (porn), as if it is around every corner, waiting to jump out at her.
