  Hello everyone! Hope you will have a very hilarious and happy New Year!

Please click on this link  http://www.icq.com/specials/newyear_2007/    to see a cute congratulation.

Good luck!

Methinks Dumpy's argument is with the world's anthropologists and not with the refreshingly ironic and ever helpful sue. 

(I mean, really.  An entire branch of "science" devoted to the study of race, environment, and culture, noting the norms and aberrations?  Why, that's a poppycock!  ) 

P.S.  Luv, I think Claudia said she was planning a big update to the main Download Haven site as soon as she gets some "down time."  I'm guessing those links will disappear then.

bien joué Camerata !! tu nous raconteras

Dumpy: you throw a fight, insult and expect people to go along with that? I'm a 100% sure you want to cause a fight.

Dumpy, this is the final time time I am ever going to reply to anything you have to say to me but I can assure you that you have no more idea of my levels of "happiness" than I do about yours.

I think you will just have to accept that different races and nationalities have different levels of humour and I can only surmise that you perhaps don't appreciate the British habit of "irony" (oh and I can't resist the old Blackadder joke about Americans thinking "Irony is something you use to flatteny the clotheys with!" See! I just can't stop myself!)

I don't recall ever saying anything personal to you (although I'm sure you will have something on file!) other than advising you to stop posting on sites that upset you, (which just seemed common sense to me) and then being rather tired of you bringing your complaints onto Claudia's about stuff that had nothing to do with her board.

I shan't be entering into any further dialogue on this matter and wish you a Happier New Year.

Note from Claudia, GA--Normally I would delete this post because the offending post from "Dumpy" was deleted.  However, I am in full agreement with sue and really wish Dumpy would leave her nastiness at the door instead of inflicting it on everyone here.

Dumpy, please, if you don't have anything nice to say...please don't say anything!

Hey girls ! I'm happy because the press attaché of Snow cake in France will give me tickets for the premiere of the movie in Paris on January 16th. Sigourney Weaver will be there, but not Alan I'll take photos

who does go to the conference On January 3? I would like to meet people who goes, it is possible that I go (because I was extra in the movie) please

Thank you very much!

Happy New Year 

Gosh Elaine you're making me a little scared now, I was going to walk with my daughter back to the underground station after the Perfume Q&A, but now I am going to get a taxi to Charing X railway station, better safe than sorry, damn the expense!

Getting mugged would definitely put a damper on the evening!

Unless as you say dear Alan would care to give us a lift!!!

(Flutters eyelids)

Thanks for that bit of Nobel Son news, Elaine.

And this site is QI: http://www.robindon.com/page19.htm 

Q & A after Perfume, eh? I have the time off, the opportunity - but, alas, not the inclination anymore. Kilburn High Road late at night? Yes, sue, it would definitely be a little dodgy! And no big strong bloke to escort me - unless someone would give me a lift in their "celeb carrier" Merc!

Just winging in with this link: http://www.markadler.com/notes/notes.html

It's the first pic of Noble Son that I've seen. Sorry if it's already been posted.

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone!  Sorry for being AWOL the last couple of weeks but this lousy crud has had a hold of me and today is the first time I've felt like coming online. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  Considering myself and almost the whole family has been sick, our's was good. 

I owe lots of email and phone calls and will get to those as fast as I can.  AFNH called me Christmas day and it was wonderful to hear from her. 

I hope everyone is geared up for a joyous New Year!  Gawwwd, it seems like it was New Year's 2006 yesterday.  The time is flying by. 

WTF !!!!!!!! I had to take a second look.

Whats next?? Only on e-bay.

I just check the Fandango site and snow cake is no longer listed as having a release date.  AGGGGGG.

Can I cry now?

Miriam

I'm sure this has been seen before, but just in case: It's a picture of Alan w/photographer Don McCullin at the launch of McCullin's "Cold Heaven" photo show at the Whitechapel Gallery in London in May,2001:

I converted the Perfume clip into a .wmv file so that everybody could watch it. You can download it here:

http://download.yousendit.com/7A1708EE4A7FA101

I hope all of you had fantastic holidays

Sevvy

Alanfan, the jigsaw should work fine as a stand-alone program. Just do a double-click on the exe-file. If the program won't work, try to download it again. Maybe it was corrupted whilst downloading.

Sorry about the inconvenience

Hugs.

Claudia, Germany

Made a mess of the emotes on last message,

Meant to use

Have a good one this coming year.

Hugs Suzy

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had as good an Xmas as I did. )  Got load of craft goodies and had a really lovely time.

Hope the new year is the best you have ever had with tons of good Alan goodies. )

Hugs SuzyQ

TV Alert....I just accidentally stumbled upon a screening of Becketts "Play"with AR, JS, and KST, on Book tv, here in Canada.I barely managed to tape it, but for those of you who subscribe to Book tv, it is supposed to air again this evening at 10:30.

I downloaded the Perfume clip Sue mentioned yesterday.

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=C898A7BC76271828

It's a Flash Video File, though, which probably means that you can't view it with every programme. I use the Riva FLV player.

A lot of American Perfume reviews out today:

America today

New York Post

Los Angeles Daily News

New York Sun ("a man born for frilly cuffs!!!")

New York Times

Well, can't say that anybody has gone overboard about it over there.

Claudia I love jigsaws and this is the time of year I do them. I downloads yours and found I couldn't open it. What program do you need to read it?

Hija.

I hope everybody had a nice Christmas time

I know, I am a bit late, as usual, but this time I have an excuse! I got stuck...  see?

It seems you'll have to come over and get your present yourself, ladies.

Come and get yourself an AR jigsaw, over at my lj:

Claudia, Germany

hey there girls

you do of course know that Snowcake is going to be out on dvd here in the UK for Febuary,and Perfume is already over here...

Hope you all had a cracking crimbo,see ya real soon...

xx

According to IMDB Snow Cake is supposed to be out on limited release here in the USA.  I haven't found any other source that confirms this.  It's definitely not here in TX.  Does anyone else have info?

Hey ladies!

What's up?

Hello girls ! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !!!!!!!! Hope you had a nice Xmas.

and all the others for this wonderful site

I had no idea you said "Toodles" in the Staes too!!LOL

Just looked at the clock and Isee it's Boxing Day! Hope everybody had a nice Christmas. MFH  has caught my fluey-cold and spent the day in bed!

Cheers all!

Then toodles, Nicketynick - have wonderful holidays

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

to all of you wonderful ladies.

Taking a break from festivities today, I found this interesting little remark at http://hisspit.livejournal.com dated today)

"Mike's mom has worked with Alan Rickman on 2 separate occasions as part of continuing education workshops for lawyers. Actors are hired to work with the lawyers as witnesses in a sort of mock trial simulation. Apparently Alan Rickman likes to play witnesses because he thinks it's more worthwhile and fun than a straight up acting class."

I don't know if there's any truth to it, but I thought it was cute!

Hi Hikity! Hope you're well!

"Toodles" means toodle-loo, very old saying for

"good-bye" or see you later". Well, at least here in South.

Nicketynick, what does "Toodles" mean, ?

Happy Holidays everyone!

Hope you all are safe,merry & well.

Claudia- cross your fingers! We might get snow up here in N.GA tonight! And thank you so much for having this site wondeful for all

of us to enjoy! I've had a great time!

I hear the egg-nog calling me! Toodles!

Merry Christmas to all Alan-worshippers out there

And special thanks to Claudia for providing such a wonderful Download HEAVEN for all of us

Merry Christmas to All from Virginia Beach, VA.  I'm pretty tired this AM, since I sang in the choir for Midnight Mass last night and didn't get to bed until 2:00AM! I had to get up at 6:00AM this morning to put a turkey the size of a schnauzer in the oven!

It was all good however, as three out of four grown children were able to be there! Happy New Year to all!

Maryland

Moin, moin, everybody. We had a beautiful Holy Night.

My dear Chris, Father Christmas must have been joking cz asbestos is forbidden in Europe, . He therefore wore a black polo-neck jumper and very tight black trousers (which is his usual outfit UNDER his enormous red coat, btw) when he entered our house. He has known our family for so long that he is no longer afraid of our tradition...

 It is Rudolph, who has had a really hard time this year. Tanja had a nice chat with him and he confided to her that he feels utterly ridiculous with pulling a sledge with cartwheels instead of vats - poor reindeer, indeed Far and wide NO SNOW in sight

Hugs

H.

Merry Christmas to all my friends wherever you are. Special thanks to Claudia for providing us all a place where we can go to once in a while to escape from  the real world.

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year filled with LOTS and LOTS of ALANY Goodness!

Happy Holidays All,

Becky                       

I do wish all of you a very peaceful and joyful Christmas eve, happy celebrations with your beloved and lots of laughter and presents!

TODAY IS CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRITSMAS EVERYBODY

AND JOY TO THE WORLD!

Long Life to ALAN!!!!

Hello Everyone and a a big

to All of you! I am enjoying this site tremendously

and I want to say a special thank you to Claudia

to keep it going and to Everyone who posts

reports, recent news, photos, articles, etc.

on AR! It is a nice place to visit!

Here in Switzerland today, December 24th  (Christmas

Eve) is the day to celebrate: this is the day the family

gathers together under the Christmas Tree to sing

songs and to open presents - followed by a lovely meal!

So soon I am off to my Mom's for the Holidays!

Once again a BIG THANK YOU to all other AR fans to

keep this great site going and a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

to all of you!

Cheers from Switzerland

Hi! Thank you all for the information and for the congratulations. I also congratulate everyone!

These are my presents , hope you have no less! And I wish Santa to bring us everything we want!   

Let it be so    than so   !

 
Good luck!
 

Many Congratulations Kathy!!

And A Merry Christmas to everybody from me.

Vicki, dear, of course real candles - this is tradition and not nerv-racking at all, lol. The whole year I light candles in the evening, when learning, reading, watching TV or just talking and discussing "important world stuff" - it calms me (IKEA has these vanilla-ones I love so much). We have a fire place, too..

Now I really have to start with the preparations for tonight, e.g. decorating our X-mas tree - my sweetheart daughter wants a "red one" for a change and I am going to take pics which I then post on my Lj

Hugs and wonderful holidays again

Hikity

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Came out of lurkdom long enough to say Hi, and Happy Holidays and to let the oldies that remember me know that I finally graduated this December--with honors even!! and in Jan. I will be off to California for graduate school so I will be saying Hi from time to time from the San Francisco Bay Area--my old home town.

Thanks to all for all the wonderful AR stuff--hope I can catch SC and Perfume in CA--I know they would never come to Arkansas!

and Claudia, thanks for such a wonderful site, your hard work is very much appreciated.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Hikity - will you be decorating your tree tonight with real lighted candles?    What a wonderful (but nerve-wracking) tradition.  I think I would be too nervous to take my eyes off of the tree and would be standing by with a fire extinguisher at the ready just in case.  But I'm sure you are very safe in all that you do. 

Wishing you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!  May your stockings be filled with AR goodies! 

A Happy Hanukkah, A Happy Kwanzaa, and a Happy Festivus for the rest of us!

  As we have Holy Night tomorrow - our most important holiday in Germany- I'd like to wish you all

a wonderful X-mas with loads of surprises and great food

CU again before New Year...

A huge thank you to our fantastic CLAUDIA and again thanks for all the great contributions during this awesome Alan-Year

Love from Hikity    

Ooops......never mind.....third time's a charm.  I was able to get in.

Is anyone else having trouble opening the Discussion Party page??

The Leaky Cauldron has Dan's pix on their site and they're trying to get Alan's as well.

A photograph of Alan is included in Michael Birt's exhibition currently at Fulham Palace gallery in London (18.11.06 - 17.3.06).

Details HERE

Great work, Sue!

Playbill.com lists MNIRC & all the surrounding controversey as one of its Top Ten Theatre news stories of 2006.

I found a track from Nobel Son OST.

It's REKELECTRIK - 1-2-3-4 RUSH IT and can be heard on Mick Park's MySpace blog HERE

 who does go to the conference On January 3?
I would like to meet people who goes, it is possible that I go

please

Thank you very much!

Merry Christmas!

For those of us living in the US, tonight on the "Jay Leno Show", Dustin Hoffman will be a guest, speaking about "Perfume". If anyone can't watch it and wants to, a video clip will be online tomorrow at nbc.com

For anyone living in the LA area, on Dec. 27 also, Perfume will be showing at the Arclight Cinema in Los Angeles on Sunset Blvd. Tix are not on sale yet,tho.

I don't think so. He was in London on Dec.5 for the showing of Perfume there (the pix w/Tim Burton & Jane Horrocks). The latest pix that were on the board here were from the charity showing of SC in Toronto on Nov.28.

BTW (& I posted this at your board also):

"Perfume" will be premiering at the Angelika Film Center, 18 W. Houston St. NY  212-995-2570 on Dec.27. They don't have any info in their computers yet. The info will be updated either Sunday or Monday.

Also, for any Rickmaniacs living in Houston, Dallas or Plano:

"Perfume" will be showing in those cities on Jan.5,2007 at the Angelika Film Centers in each city.

I just meant that he could have gone during previews.  He was definitely in London -- last week -- wasn't it - the last set of pics from a party or something?

Yep, I know. It was in previews for what seemed like an endless amount of time. It actually opened on Dec.10

Carolyn,

According to Playbill, Spring Awakening started previews on November 17.

Thanks for the link, Carolyn. Looks a bit as if history were repeating itself. I'm curious whether we will get some more detailed information in the next days.

In the HERE WE GO AGAIN DEPARTMENT:

Dated December 22, 2006:

From http://www.thestar.com and reported again at http://www.torontoist.com/archives/2006/12

According to Martin Bragg, the artistic producer of Canstage, MNIRC WILL NOT be coming to Toronto under his tutelage. Officially, he states the reason as being when he finally saw the play in NYC (after reading Rachel's diary and being so moved by it), he thought it "sucked".

Unofficially, the same criteria that almost prevented it from being shown in NY is supposed to have played a major part in Bragg's cancellation.

At:

http://ottawasun.com/Showbiz/Movies  Excellent SC review

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews  Perfume review and interview w/TT

Cats...LOL...At the time I was hunting (in the wee small hours of the morning,btw) I noticed the person worked on "Spring Awakenings", but didn't have the energy to look any further or to discover male or female! :-)

What surprised me, was the "...again" comment: inferring that he had seen the play once before. IIRC, it only opened on or about Dec.13. Sooo.....question of the day to ponder: Has he been in NY for almost a week?

You mentioned "Snow Cake". It could also be "Perfume", since that's opening here on Dec.27

Damn, it was so much easier when we knew which continent he was on!

Lot's of Perfume reviews about today:

The Guardian gives it two stars (and doesn't miss a chance to take another pop.)

London Evening Standard gives it three stars.

Inthenews.co.uk seem to like it.

The Glasgow Daily record give it three stars.

The Times gives four stars.

The Independent give it two stars and think Rickman is "quite miscast"

The Mirror gives it three stars.

OK, just a bit more digging, the blogger is a doorman at the stage door of the play.

Aha, I guess these are the kids she is referring to.

:-)

Great find, Carolyn!

The correct link is jewellwelles.livejournal.com (livejournal addresses do not use www).

That post she made about him 'being back' was kind of obscure.  Diggiing around her LJ, it appears that she works in theater, in some capacity, on the show Spring Awakening.  So, I assume her post to mean that Alan went to see the show 'again' last night.  When she says the 'kids' only have reference to him as Snape, I wonder what kids she is referring to?  Perhaps she is an older person and she's referring to the actors in the play as 'kids'?

In any case, the case is building that the man is back in NYC.  Wonder why??  *prays profusely for play negotiations*

Perhaps for upcoming Snow Cake publicity??

 who does go to the conference On January 3?
I would like to meet people who goes, it is possible that I go

Thank you very much!

Merry Christmas!

Whatever BoBo.

I merely thought it was something you all would want to know. If you don't, ignore it.

Cats...Sighting #2 here: www.jewellwelles.livejournal.com

AssociatedContent is a site where anyone can upload reviews or articles about various subjects.  It's not necessarily "professional journalism."  Unlike sites that tabulate visitors' votes (i.e. Starpages), the link posted is basically one fan's review of the AR sites she likes and is the equivalent of what someone would post on their LJ/blog.

Hello Ladies,

I don't know if this was already posted or not but thanks to RedTango posting this at her site (she came in at #1)  I saw that you were listed as #3.

Here's the link to the article: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/97971/best_alan_rickman_fan_sites.html

I just thought you'd want to know.

Enjoy and happy holidays.

LOL...I just thought of something! RE: "Perfume: A Story of a Murderer": Wouldn't it be great if someone could come up with something like "smell-o-vision"?

ROTFL...Cats, this is way too funny! I sent him an email about two hours ago asking him how could Alan be in NY when he's in London?

I have no idea if this is true, but this blogger claims that Alan was in a restaurant in NYC last night.

Sue, have you msn? or e-mail and I explain to you for there

ok?

thanks

Sue, Ok, sorry... I understand now
will you go to the conference?
if you go, I would like meet you

Thanks!

A reasonable Snowcake review HERE

Sorry Ana, maybe one of our Spanish speaking friends could perhaps translate for me?

Sue, I don´t understand very well...sorry

Is someone going to go On January 3 to the conference of The Perfume?

Iwas extra in the movie!

I surely go and I would like to stay with people I´m Spabihs and My name is Ana, who wants here this one my e-mail:

an_y_20005@hotmail.com

Please write me jajaajaja

xxx

Lex : Thanks, the pics are great !!! Ha has always a glass in his hand lol

HAPPY XMAS TO ALL !!! I LEAVE TOMORROW FOR THE ALPS UNTIL MONDAY SO ENJOY YOUSELVES !!!!!

Hello everybody!

Claudia - I hope, you and your family feel better.

Nothing more worse, than to feel sick at christmas time.

Thanks to everyone for all the Alan-goodies during the old year.

Wishing you all a very merry christmas and good health in the coming year.

Bye for now.

The last HP book is going to be called, "Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows".

K, thats weird. In the first picture, the bag that Alan is holding in the second picture is held by another guy altogether. And that guy is drinking a drink in the second picture. Hmmm, to be a fly on that wall? All i know is now that i have seen whats in Alan's right hand, i must be getting me a nice vodka and OJ.

And the guy in the picture with Alan, all i can say is DOES ANYONE HAVE A PAIR OF TWEEZERS OR A FRICKEN PAIR OF HAIR CUTTING SCISSORS!!!!!!!

I just knew there had to be pics. of that Autism benefit at Roots somewhere.Thanks a bunch for these, that first one , the full length unobscured view, is especially gooood.

Well done Lex, beat me to it !!

Found this on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz1TeoOBQ9c

bronte, Vera, first answer from one prof: very far-fetched, ridiculous and I agree

Unfortunately, the British customs don't allow backpacks to be taken into planes for the time being, lol

The idea to liken Grenouille to Hitler is not new. We already talked about it when we discussed the book in school 15 years ago. There's this nice little sentence on p. 58 of the German edition, which says that Grenouille wanted to become the "größte Parfumeur aller Zeiten".

New Jan, here is a somehow funny article about echinacea:

http://blythdale.tripod.com/coventryequestriancenter/id43.html

but be careful with such pieces of advice in general cz all medicaments have side effects and not everyone can just take echinacea! There are serious contraindications, too...

Ciao bellas

and no, Claudia, I haven't yet finished my X-mas preparations  - Fortunately, I don't have to cook this year as we are "on the road" paying visits to our parents. But I still have NO SINGLE pressi for hubby - it's terrible, I am devastated,lol...at least I found a really beautiful tree yesterday.

Bye bye

bronte, thanks for this NY Sun article! Very interesting, indeed. You know the problem with professors (university) nowadays is that often they believe they need to express new ideas for analysis and interpretation of old stuff and come up with the most astonishing suggestions. However, Prof. Tiger unfortunately neglects politeness towards his colleagues - he doesn't use hedges but throw his bits to our feet like facts...and he is not a prof of literature btw but of anthropology - wow

Well, nevertheless, his article is interesting enough to forward it to other professors (of literature in my case) which I have already done and I am quite eager to get an answer, hihi.

Süskind was born in 1949 - he has never ever experienced anything what happened before his time , but Tiger states: there is a real-lief version of this character, who had to have infected Süskind - wow, that's a proposition you shouldn't do within a discourse community (you rather use said hedges).

Maybe we should ask Süskind himself - he is no longer so reclusive he used to be - After all he has given his permission to Eichinger to make the film. Of course, Tiger could argue that  authors often do not register the real implications of what they wrote themselves....lol

thanks again for finding this article!

Ladies, this is OT but with the flu and cold season upon us, can I recommend/remind you about Echinacea?  It's a herbal remedy you take as soon as you feel the bug coming on.

Last Thursday I went to bed early feeling very poorly, but had a heavy weekend to get through.  I took Echinacea (the syrup works best for me) and the next morning felt fine.  Had a mammoth shopping spree, a party on Saturday and hosted a family lunch on Sunday.  It really works.

Hope you feel better soon Claudia.

I've got a streaming cold too but hopefully the worst of it will be passed by Christmas.

Awesome,,,,,,i do have a favorite picture of him but i would be willing to have anything signed. Let me know your e-mail and we will talke or you can contact me at

clks@sasktel.net .

Hey everyone.  I'm just checking with you to let you know I'm still around.  Me and my whole household has been down with a nasty winter bug. 

Thanks for all the new pics and links!

Is everyone ready for Christmas?

Wow, ladies, what an excellent idea about signing photos! For me it's great, but..next time

Here http://www.stuff.co.nz/3905065a1869.html  is a nice article

When they line up actors of such gloriously hammy charm as Bill Nighy, Rachel Griffiths, Alan Rickman, Warren Clarke and Natasha Richardson on a Sunday night, and then add improbable amounts of glitter, bouffant hairdos and mad 80s dance tunes, then you just have to go along with it.

Lex, I haven't got your email address either.

Here's mine if you want to email me.

Is it just the three of us going from this board?

Sorry, Carolyn, I've just seen the other article posted by Sue and I assume you meant that one....nice article and nice photo, absolutely.

Sue, thanks for the article....Carolyn??? I don't agree at all and rated the article "poor". Weaver is great - the movie is wonderful imho

Susan, I know, it depends his mood, doesn't it? Nevertheless, I'd love to hear everything!

Sue, that's such a nice picture...and great article! Thanks!

Umm.. Try HERE

Nice  Snowcake review (for Alan at least!) HERE

Hikity

Sure will do If I get the chance to capture him after!  Every meeting is so different, you never know what's going to happen!

The question is...do I do a report on the evening or not????

Lex, you are a sweetie  and I do hope we'll meet next year!

Susan, old girl , I wish you a great evening, don't forget to take some lovely pics and please send my kindest regards to  (from the crazy German who travels through Europe in order to see Snow Cake, lol)- DON'T FORGET IT !!!

Alfan, thanks for your invitation. Keith will be delighted to meet us all in June

Alfan, don't worry so much. Our man signed four pics for me the last time I met him and he did it very nicely he was in a good mood taking his funny remarks into account. But he could easily see that these signatures would not find their way to ebay (books: S&S; Winter Guest, Snow Cake and Perfume brochures with other autographs of TT etc on the poster )

This photo: goes with THIS article.

Lex, are you serious. You would do that for me. Oh, man, that would be sooooooo sweet. I would be honored with an actual autograph.  I would be happy if he signed Alan Rickman, i would be elated if he wrote best wishes, Alan Rickman. And i would be totally flippin out if he wrote Carmen, best wishes, Alan Rickman. Do you want me to send a picture over there or do you have one, I would do almost anything for you..........but remember our man does not like to sign more than one autograph from the same person as he believes it to go on e-bay.......gotta love him........

You are awesome to think of me like that. It would be the best wedding present i could ask for.

Stressfordpoet...Thanks for replying! I think I can safely say that there was no offense taken nor inconvenience caused. It has to do with frustration regarding inaccuracies and half-truths reported on the net.

All of us in the AR community are usually pretty diligent regarding accuracy of posts and will try to qu
