Yeah, I'm with ALFAN, I am sick of waiting!!

UGH.

Miriam

Dirty, rotten rackafratz! Watch the trailer! (If you're interested and hadn't already noticed yourself, that is )

Well, that didn't work. Here's the link to the large version:

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/aradmirer/OrgyScene.jpg

but it might be better to watch the trailer and pause it.

It has been said that the end of Perfume . . . the orgy scene . . . has been changed and toned down to some kind

of hug-fest (or something) but in the trailer:

I see a whole lot of nekkid people down there! I mean a lot of them are as naked as a Jaybird!

A bunch of bare butts! (Sorry it's a bad copy.)

Oh right it's just that BBC4 is a tv station so I got all excited about something new!LOL

I wouldn't expect you to know that Radio4 and BBC4 are different, I don't think everybody in Britain does!!

4:30 UK time means 5:30 here if I am not mistaken

Sorry, Sue, I should have been more explicit: The BBC Radio 4 Film Programme interview tomorrow.

Carolyn, what BBC4 programme is that??

I don't know if anyone knew this, (I just found out) but the BBC 4 programme interview was taped a few weeks ago.

I love this picture at the German photocall:

Hello everyone!

Carolyn, thanx a lot for the pics!

Here is something mentioning Alan

Good luck!   


 

I sooooooooooo mean this with love and affection but

ENOUGH WITH THE DARN FILM FESTIVALS, RELEASE THE DAMN MOVIE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. AKA---ME

Ok, i feel better now.

According to Reuters.com, "Snow Cake" is going to be shown at the Atlantic Film Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Sept.14-23) on September 16 @ 7PM at the Oxford Theatre. Tickets are $15.

Here are a couple of shots from the Perfume set.       

Thanks Daydreamer and a big hallo - we haven't heard from you for ages

Re: The Perfume

I don't know whether we have the trailer somewhere "stored" in English (I have not and I do not know how to do it), but I've just found it on a French site (English version):

http://www.rachelhurd-wood.net/FR/videos_files/perfume_trailer_UK.php

Hey girls ! I'm back from my holidays in the south of France but on Friday, I'll go to Deauville for the the American Film Festival

INTJ : You're soo lucky to have seen him ! Thanks for the  pics !

Sue : Thank you for the SC pics ! Especially the one in which he laughs mmm

Becky : Thanks for the caps of the ZDF video !

Welcome to the new members !

Sorry Claudia, I'm late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best wishes for you Great pic Elaine

It's all about sacrifice for the cause, Chris!

Sorry 'bout that! I'll get them back in a minute!

Here are some photos from the "Perfume" press conference I hadn't seen before. Enjoy!

See, the thing about the gif is this: Notice how he raises his head as he speaks and then it suddenly goes down again? When it goes down is when I used the frames backwards to get his arm back up to the beginning without it being too jumpy . . . so that part is decieving. Whatever he said made Ben Whitshaw laugh and seemed to surprise him . . . it would be great to hear the whole conversation.

Homework Assignment: Study in detail his every lip movement in every film he's ever made and every recorded interview, looking for similar lip movements, to figure out those 3 or 4 words! Yeah! That's it!

To anyone who is interested (I know I was lol) I was looking around my local Vue Cinema website and found a link for UK Cinema Listings Coming Soon and Snow Cake is there!! So maybe we will see it in all cinemas after all

If it works the link to that particular site is here http://www.britinfo.net/cinema/coming-soon.htm

Sorry but I dont know how to shorten it!

ARdent, the gif is awesome, thanks!

Hmm... let's give a try to lip-reading.

'Hehehehe... we have to put (?) *mumble*mumble*... hehehehe'

The clip IS wonderful. Now who here can read lips to see what he is saying???

Hikity, I'm not certain but I think if the F**K word appears in a film it is generally a 15 and not a 12. (Which is silly because most of the 12 year olds I know can swear like troopers!!! )

O/T For Bill Nighy fans a new 4 part serial is playing on Radio 4 (11.30am BST) as we speak. A Charles Paris Mystery about an alcoholic actor cum sleuth. I shall catch up with is later on the listen again service.

Oh, ARdent!!!  You are DA BOMB!!!! 

Thanks so much for the lovely gif!!  I'd give anything to know what he's saying......any lip-readers out there? 

Just another example of all the great and generous fans at this site.  Thanks again!

Alan?   Are you saying the really cute Alan-Photo (mussed hair and all) is from the Mar del Plata Film Festival? 

Thanks much!

ARdent,  I love that little clip.  The smile and laugh is great.

Miriam

Vicki - you said this would make a nice gif?

Sorry it's narrow. The full width one wouldn't fit in Photobucket except in a smaller form.

Waves back to CatsPlay.

Lately I was very busy about my moving back from Madison to cursed forbidden Czech Republic...

 But!!! Thanks for everything especially INTJ, Sue, Claudia...all of you! INTJ your little adventure had to be wonderful!!!And I agree about autograms.

 But now there is our big fortunate, someone who gives us so much and helps us with so much things...

          Happy Birthday Claudia

you merit everything you want!!!

I can just say - be happy as much as you can...

And be sure that you do a big piece of work for us!!!

     Feel like a star because you are our star!!!

sue, dear, thanks for that link. Interesting, SC from 15 years onwards?? for what? Here most probably from 6 years...(considering that Perfume is from 12). At least we won't have kids in the cinema on Tuesday!

It's nice to know that are some ex pat Alan Fans around. Hiya Roxysue and Sarah. I'm not in Hull I'm about 20 miles away on the coast. Manchester is aloooooooong way a way from here, well just to go to the pictures it is even if it is Alan.

Ummm.. that would be HERE

Empireonline gives Snowcake 4* which is good for them!!

For UK'ers looking for places to see Snowcake I have another link HRTR and there is a Q&A with Marc Evans and Angela Pell on the Sunday 10th September showing. Corner house is in Manchester:

Cornerhouse, 70 Oxford Street Manchester M1 5NH. Box Office: +44 (0)161 200 1500

Hey Alanfan..... I used to live in Hull til last November! I'm in Rotherham now. The nearest cinema to us is Vue in Meadowhall but as I said, no mention at all there! I will be most unimpressed if it doesnt get here

Happy birthday, Claudia - sorry I'm a bit late...

You have probably read this already guys - but Timesonline has something on Weaver and Snow Cake...

Take care!

Some people must be desperate

 Sorry for the delay!!CLAUDIAAAAAAA!!! GOOD DAY BABY!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

+Marta+

SORRY !! Haven't posted in a while --- been on hols etc. Had 12 pages to catch up ! You've all been amazingly busy !!

   Firstly and belatedly many birthday wishes to Claudia Cheers ! You do an amazing job and this site is the best in the world !

   Thanx to INTJ for the report on Edinburgh, sounds great !

    Unfortunately having been out of the picture lately I missed out on tickets for the charity screening of Snowcake and the Q & A with OoOA on the 5th. I knew it would sell out really fast , so am very envious of Sue, Hikity, Peekabooh, Elaine and anyone else who is going ! Look forward very much to hearing all about it you lucky things !

      I really hope Snowcake goes on general release. It looks absolutely fascinating and I can't wait to see it .

   Hopefully 2007 will be an AR year for me because due to circumstances beyond my control I have missed AR at Reading, London , Edinburgh and now Hampstead !

         BTW Alanfan I used to live in Grimsby and Cleethorpes  and I know what you mean by a lack of cinemas or any other entertainment for that matter !!!!

I'm disappointed that Snow Cake might not get to cinemas in general. Is there a way of contacting the distributor's and finding out just which cinemas are going to be allowed to get the film or if it's going to have a DVD release like Blow Dry did? The nearest big cinema to me is in Hull so there is very little chance of it coming up here

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY CLAUDIA!!!!

“There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.”

!!HAVE A GREAT TIME!!

And thank you for everything!

Hope I am not the last to wish you a happy birthday!!!! Thanks so much for all the great stuff all of you keep posting. Gee I sure hope Snow Cake is out to the general public. The stars are big enough!! What do they want blood??? Can't wait for it to get to the states. Wish I had some of the contacts you all do, but through your kindness, I do!! Thanks again , all your hard work is greatly appreciated. I just love to get on this site and see how nice everyone is to each other, I always have a good laugh and leave the site smiling and with a few of AR's pictures in hand, LOL Keep um coming. Thanks for making my day a little bit brighter!

Elaine, go! I don't let you drum off...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLAUDIA!
I hope you enjoy your special day with family and friends!

     

Blimey! NO! We would have to ceremonially drum you off the Board if you did!!

BTW, forgot to thank you, sue, for the link to the Watershed. I just happen to have to be in Bristol over the time it is showing. Can't waste the opportunity, can I?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAUDIA

WE LOVE YOU AND THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR US!!!

Sarah, I don't think Snowcake is the kind of film that's going to make all the Muliplexes. Every Thursday the London Evening Standard reviews all th films released that week but many never appear to get into the local cinemas. Blow Dry is a prime example, it had about a week in a couple of London cinemas then completely disappeared. If it gets good reviews it might get out to the suburbs but if not you'll have to probaby look for more specialist cinemas and they are few and far between. My local Odeon has no mention of it in coming soon and yet it has a single showing of the  Richard E Grant film Wah-Wah next week and that was released some weeks ago, so maybe Snowcake will get some kinf of release. Actually just googling most of my local cinemas, very few of them have a coming soon list so maybe they just wait and see at the last moment what looks like it might do well?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAUDIA!

Happy Birthday, Claudia!

 Many happy years to come!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAUDIA

Happy birthday Claudia!

      Happy Birthday  

              Claudia!!!

There are stories in the following about MNIRC...nothing new, just mentioning of Megan Dodds doing the role and the usual background about the play:

Dear Claudia, best wishes from Germany 

A wonderfull Birthday for a wonderfull woman

Buon Compleanno, Claudia!!!

Wishing you a wonderful birthday, Claudia!  May all your wishes come true!

I have been to the cinema a few times over the past few weeks and no one seems to know anything about Snow Cake coming out?? I know its due 8th Sept but the staff have never heard of it! I have seen a trailer for Perfume when I went to see a film called Hard Candy but nothing for Snow Cake! Does anyone know if it is coming to ALL cinemas or just a select few??

And a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Claudia!!! Thanx for all the work you have done for us with this site. Its been a lifeline for me!

Claudia



Have a wonderful day!

 Dear Claudia, I wish you a wonderful birthday. May you most secret wishes come true!

Claudia - Happiest birthday wishes to the BEST webmistress of the BEST fansite on the entire web!  May your special day be covered in chocolate-y, Alan-y goodness!

Sorry to be so late this evening.  My sisters and I have been working on a 70th birthday celebration for our Daddy.  We only have a week left before we leave for Wild and Wonderful West Virginia to see him.  So time will be very limited for me for the next week but I'll pop in as much as I can.

Thank you so much for the clever birthday wishes!  We have so many talented people!

Elaine, the card is soooo cute.  I stil have last year's too!  My goodness....AR wishing me a happy birthday. That's enough to make a girl faint!  Thank you! 

Thanks to you too, Miriam and Nahima!

Carolyn!  That sounds like an AR kind of day!  Thanks!

Alfan, your song lyrics are adorable!  AR = "boy toy" 

Now I am off for some sweet AR dreams!

Happy Birthday, Claudia!!  Thanks for all that you do!!

"you 10:30, and bring a friend"

So, I think i speak

For almost all of us here

That you Claudia

To us are so dear.

Ok, im tired but not to tired to wish you Claudia a

Hey, best pal, I'll have a glass for you!

Hi there

I've just watched the report about The Perfume. AR's scene was seconds and the one we all know (sitting opposite of his daughter telling her how endangered her life is now). The synthesis of the report: those who love the book should NOT see the film (the reason being the "new" character of Grenouille(, those who love opulent cinema, costumes and TT's cinematic qualities should see the film by all means...(btw: it's the most expensive German film every directed)

now you can decide what to do  

Sue, DW-tv is the German equivalent to BBC World Service. I think it's mainly news, which could mean that they might mention something after the day of the premiere, but I don't have the slightest idea whether they actually would. I wouldn't be too astonished if they considered film premieres as too trivial.

 That would be HERE

Some dates of Snowcake showing in Bristol which may be of interest to our West Country readers

Snow Cake

Whilst delving in the lower reaches of Sky today looking for something else I came upon a German speaking channel called DWtv. Is this something you know of in Germany and if so, is it worth looking for Parfum stuff on??

News article will be coming on www.variety.com re: Megan Dodds & MNIRC. It's not up yet, though...only came through about an hour ago.

@ INTJ

Thank you for uploading the file to yousendit! Now the download works without problems.

*smooches*

Claudia

There'll be an article on www.broadway.com about MNIRC (I received an email). Megan Dodds will be playing the role Mon-Fri. and on Sat&Sun, it will be played by Bree Elrod.

Chalebh,

Oh, yes, I would have to think those are the costumes that will be on display.  It must be a traveling exhibition.

I've noticed that YouSendit is now requiring login for files of a certain size.  It is free to setup an account, and you should be able to download them once you do so, and then login.

Thank you Chalebh, sue, CatsPlay and others for all the stuff!

Now please anyone tell me something about this pic

  I've got it long ago, but I still do not know where it is from and how old Alan is here. I just absolutely love it! Probably it's even new for someone.

And of course something new about My Name is Rachel Corrie  http://www.pressrepublican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060827/NEWS/608270327 

Good luck!

Thanks, Chalebh, and yes I have problems, too, the video stops and I can hear the voices only

Good morning,

I'll try to capture the TTT programm with my computer. And if there's something interesting (i. e. AR) in it, I'll upload it.

Btw: Is it only I who has problems with CatsPlay's uploads. With Nos. 2 and 3 Yousendit requests a password.

And the costumes might be these

Have a nice day

Chalebh

Thanks, Rickimam - at the moment there is everyday sth about Perfume on TV and soon I know it by heart

You're welcome bluebeatbabe.  I enjoyed the article, too. 

From the Sunday Times (UK) wrap-up of the Edinburgh Fest ...

Most unlikely drinking buddies

Alan “Truly Madly Deeply” Rickman, Brian “Scarface” De Palma and Steve “I Am Alan Partridge” Coogan. It should be an episode of Ricky Gervais’s Extras.

You can listen to 30 second clips of all the tracks from the Parfum soundtrack HERE.

Hey ladies

I`m new here and I just want to say that I love this site. I`m an AR fan since ten years and i´m glad to find a site with all these pics and clips. Thanks for share all these stuff.

Greetings from Zurich

sorry, my English is f...... bad.

@ Hikity, did you search for that?

http://www.daserste.de/kultur/sendung.asp?datum=27.08.2006

Thank you for the Tagesthemen clip, Catsplay. I only had managed to download the entire news show.

Thanks, Hikity!

Catsplay, they are famous German actors and actresses and they all praise SC (and AR and SW). FYI, ZDF (=Second German Television) (and the ARD channels for that matter  are our independent broadcasters.

If anyone cares, the six minute trailer that was removed from the Fortissimo site is now available on Outnow.ch

Looking around on the ZDF site this morning I came across this 12+ minute video which I think says is from the Snow Cake after party at the Berlinale.  No sign of SW or AR, but a lot of people are interviewed.  I believe they are all speaking in German.  I can't tell whether they are really talking predominantly about Snow Cake or not.

http://www.heute.de/ZDFmediathek/inhalt/27/0,4070,3893883-6-wm_dsl,00.html

INTJ and Catsplay, a lot of thanks, you are fantastic.

Yesterday, there was a really interesting report about Perfume on ZDF (quite late), which showed parts of the film we haven't yet seen (no AR). The secenery is absolutely great - I am so much looking forward to seeing the making of next week.

For all Germans if interested: I posted about a week ago that tomorrow (Sunday) evening there will be another report on TV - have to check again, which programme it was - forgot it , sorry

Here are a few downloads:

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=96EB437B32BE19E3 

Thanks INTJ.  I've always felt that direct flash, especially the super powerful direct flash used by the professional photographers at events like this, is very, very harsh and can actually misrepresent reality.

Thanks CatsPlay, Peek, AFNH, Hikity, Sue, Carolyn, SnoKat, Chris, Vera, Dee, Nahima, Vicki, Laura, Juliet, Claudia (I hope I haven't forgotten anyone), for your kind words. I'm glad you all enjoyed the report and pics. : )

Dee (of course I don't mind your asking) - His clothes looked *so* different in reality, not at all like in many of the photos. For example, the pair of trousers he was wearing had exactly the same colour as his jacket - a deep black. I was absolutely astonished to see how strange they look in a lot of the pics taken at the premiere. (The photos published on the WENN website are the worst, imo.) In many, they appear to have an almost purplish hue to them - which, let me assure you, was not the case. To the normal eye, this is what his clothes looked like:

Deep black jacket, dark blue denim shirt, and deep black trousers. He was very smartly dressed, and his outfit looked lovely in person. There was nothing that jumped out at you or made you raise your eyebrows in a "what on earth is he wearing" kinda way. On the contrary. He looked very smart in his clothes (the unbuttoned cuffs didn't detract from that ; ) ), trim, and extremely handsome.

As for getting an autograph - nope. I didn't want one. (To be honest, I've never really understood why people want autographs... I don't see the appeal, I'm afraid.)

Oh, and sorry about the Herald file, everyone. I've just uploaded it to yousendit:

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=FEAA6BF248AFDFE6

Let me know if you have trouble downloading from there.

I LOVE this site. Love all the different clips you can get

I think you should get more Robin Hood Prince of Theives clips though. Other than that i LOVE it.

WOWOWOWOWOW.Great pics and everything else. Now I am 100% convinced that a little trip to Toronto is in order.

Thanks to everyone for all of the goodies! They're wonderful!

However, I can't get the sendmefile file, either. Has anyone been successful in getting it???

@ INTJ

Oh, and I snagged the flash video from the Herald website and converted it to avi (15MB):

http://www.sendmefile.com/00456937

Sorry to cause trouble, but I really have a problem with downloading your file on sendmefile. *sniffles* I tried to download it for hours, and everytime the download tells me I need between 72 to 190 hours. I get a dataflow from about 0.01kb

Is there a chance that you can upload the file to another service? Help, please?

Hugs.

Claudia
