Damn good shout Caaj. one of the core elements of a timeless action flick is a strong villain. it can be said that He was a major reason why the Die Hard series took off and was so loved. not to mention his apt straddling of the Evil/Good line in the Harry Potter movies, even to the last movie you couldn't tell which way he was going to turn. RIP Alan. Edit: Just pointed out to me that he and Bowie were the same age... |

2016 can fuck right off. We had Lemmy right at the end of '15 and now we've already had Bowie and now Rickman.
What a shit start to the year.

RIP Alan Rickman. Not only a fine actor, but also one of the greatest scene-stealers of all time. |

His sheriff of Nottingham is a thing of scene-stealing beauty. Costner cut out roughly 50% of his scenes apaprently as the audience fell totally in love with him.

RIP. For all the advancement in medicine, pity no cure has been found for cancer yet. That ought to be the ultimate triumph for science and humanity.

 Ian McKellen Actor/Director  Photo: Ian McKellen, Greta Scacchi and Alan Rickman at the Golden Globe Awards, 1997 Ian McKellen 1 hr · ALAN RICKMAN (1946-2016)
There is so much that is matchless to remember about Alan Rickman. His career was at the highest level, as actor on stage and screen and as director ditto. His last bequest of his film “A Little Chaos” and his indelible performance as Louis 14th, should now reach the wider audience they deserve. Beyond a career which the world is indebted to, he was a constant agent for helping others. Whether to institutions like RADA or to individuals and certainly to me, his advice was always spot-on. He put liberal philanthropy at the heart of his life. He and Rima Horton (50 years together) were always top of my dream-list dinner guests. Alan would by turns be hilarious and indignant and gossipy and generous. All this delivered sotto, in that convoluted voice, as distinctive as Edith Evans, John Gielgud, Paul Scofield, Alec Guinness, Alastair Sim or Bowie, company beyond compare. When he played Rasputin, I was the Tzar Nicholas. Filming had started before I arrived in St Petersburg. Precisely as I walked into the hotel-room, the phone rang. Alan, to say welcome, hope the flight was tolerable and would I like to join him and Greta Scacchi and others in the restaurant in 30 minutes? Alan, the concerned leading man. On that film, he discovered that the local Russian crew was getting an even worse lunch than the rest of us. So he successfully protested. On my first day before the camera, he didn’t like the patronising, bullying tone of a note which the director gave me. Alan, seeing I was a little crestfallen, delivered a quiet, concise resumé of my career and loudly demanded that the director up his game. Behind his starry insouciance and careless elegance, behind that mournful face, which was just as beautiful when wracked with mirth, there was a super-active spirit, questing and achieving, a super-hero, unassuming but deadly effective. I so wish he’d played King Lear and a few other classical challenges but that’s to be greedy. He leaves a multitude of fans and friends, grateful and bereft. -- Ian McKellen, London, 14 January 2016 www.facebook.com/ianmckellen/
