Ho-hum. This is getting tiring.

 Here is Sheila -

Here is not Sheila --

Note Sheila's small almond shaped eyes. Note the other woman's large doe eyes. Note Sheila's Rickman-like nose. Note the other woman's petite nose. Note Sheila's height. Note other woman's lack of height.

The woman in the bottom picture is not Sheila. She was his date for the 2002 Emmys. She has never been identified, but she shows up in at least one other picture with him over the years (I don't have it).  She is one of AR's many mystery lady friends.

Thanks for some tips, I think I've already made a decision. But it was sooo hard!

But the most important thing for me was When Love Speaks (also as for future student of English literature and drama)

To Alan and Sheila-I'm almost sure it IS Sheila-just my opinion

Hey there, girlies!  Are any of my U.S. friends planning to go to the Sudbury Film Fest.?  I want to go so very badly, and I think my hubby would be willing to let me go if I went with others...PLEASE let me know if you plan on going!!!  We can set something up, save a little gas for those living further away.

alwAys youRs,

Jasmine

I'm truly sorry for not having written before. Thanks a lot Susan, Sue and Emily for answering my questions about that rare pic of Alan and those little girls around him..  At the beginning, I really believed that the rare pic was a manip, as well Emily said IT IS A MANIPULATION.  Lex told me too. Thanks, dear Lex!  Nowadays, Alan's nieces should be older than the girls in the photo.

It made me unsure for moments!

Lex posted a pic from Ebay saying that the woman who appears beside Alan is Sheila... but Emily said that the woman isn't Sheila...who is she then?

I have a Winter Guest video some may have for free if they want it.

Kristina: Since you ask . . .

1) Mesmer = Title role - all Alan, all the time - and gorgeous! 

2) Something the Lord Made = lots of a more recent version of Alan. Also, Mos Def is great and it's an interesting theme.

3) Judas Kiss = I LOVE him in it, and Emma always, but their parts are smallish.

Rasputin = great acting, lots of Alan, but not adorable (for my money)

Dark Harbor = very good, distant naked Alan, but a bit depressing. The last scene is fun.

Closet Land = Delicious, no doubt, but it's a disturbing theme.

January Man = Adorable, but a small role.

Kristina--

My personal opinion here...

Something the Lord made--It's a good movie, very good. Alan plays a good man. But it isn't one of his more yummy roles.

Closet Land--Alan is stunning. But many have said it was a disturbing movie to watch. It isn't one that I tend to go back to either, even though he is beautiful in it. Also, I had problems finding that the only copies I could get had mostly Spanish menus.

Dark Harbor--Yes, get it! He gets naked and the last scene is worth it all.

Mesmer--Have not seen it, but what little I have seen, I think it would be worth it.

Rasputin--It's very interesting and I think would be worthwhile to see. It is one of his less physically attractive roles. But as always he has charisma.

Judas Kiss--Haven't seen it but am on the look out for it myself. I think it would be good. It has Emma in it too!

The January Man--He's in it so little and has so few lines, I wouldn't bother buying it. Watch it sometime if you can rent it or borrow it or have just loads of money someday.

By the way I have a problem and I need a help.

I'm still in USA and until I will go back home to Europe a can get almost all of Alan's movies which I didn't have.

¨

BUT: money money money..so, please, advise me which I should buy, please...

Something the Lord made 

Closet Land

Dark Harbor

Mesmer

Rasputin

Judas Kiss

The January Man

??????????????????????????

Some random new papers at my LJ HERE

I also found some obscurities in the article and the part about the jasmin etc.is really strange for him- at once so perspicuous?

 I don't mean that it's so much personal but still not his own style.

  "The Big Theater Return" will make us wondering a lot, won't it?

But certainly it will be good chosen play. And if Juliet or Lindsay could play with him...no no no...it's so much happiness at once.

Sue and Emily, I agree about the padding out of The Scotsman article. Maybe her editor asked her to make it longer than her original interview so we had the speech defect, LLD stuff which is a bit tired. I was puzzled he was not asked to be part of the year long Shakespeare festival at Stratford actually. Look forward to hearing news of any upcoming theatre announcement and hope Sue, you will keep us posted.

I've been reading the GB for a long time and now just have to add my little comment about the Scotsman Interview.

As sue and emiliy have already mentioned, some sentences and phrases are literally taken out of Patons book. Also I wondered very much about the last sentences talking about the jasmine bushes growing in the doorway. Do the houses in London, where he lives, have courtyards at all?

And didn't "Private lives" run out in 2002 and not in 2001?

Just a few points I thought about and now I go in background again.

Please excuse my short English!

sue, I am glad that you also picked up on how much of the Scotsman piece was padded out by stuff lifted directly from the Paton book. There are phrases that if memory serves are pretty much word for word from the book - mostly the biographical stuff about him and Rima. She's no longer lecturing at Kingston , is she? I'm pretty sure she retired.

The writer came off as a fluffhead, IMHO. And that title  ... well, there's the reason right there that he rarely does interviews.

Thank you soooooo much Miriam and Yulia!  Next time I see my family-friend who met him, I shall try and let you know what happened.  Have a great day everybody!

Emily : Thanks for the new photos !

OMG I loved so much the article in the Scotsman !

Woow The photo of the magazine is woooow ! LOL Thank you Sue !

Oh, now the price is £54.00!!!! Unbelievable!

Brittany, it is absolutely clear that Alan and Rima have no children, they both are involved in helping some children and it's the most kind of them. Just look at The National Autistic Society, which Alan and Rima are members of. Great!

By the way I have got today a letter of Mrs Melanie Parker, this time it took less then 2 months.

Good luck!

Yulia

Hikity, I have given up trying to fathom out the mentality of ebay purchasers!! I have emailed Lurking Fairy who is in Edinburgh for the Festival and suggested she does a bit of bin diving this week, we could make a fortune!

Sue, then, why on earth, did the price on ebay rise so much - ridiculous, isn't it (some 56 GBP or so...)

Hikity, the interview on the web is from Scotland on Sunday and the magazine cover is listed on ebay as from Scotland on Sunday's Spectrum magazine so I am assuming they are the same thing!

sue, is this one and the same interview? I thought that's different from the one on the internet we got from Emily..

It's no wonder he doesn't do many interviews when they go stick something like that on the cover. I don't suppose it's the journalist's doing but some sub-editor laying out the cover and trying to catch the eye but it really is irrelevant to the article isn't it? Also quite a bit of the interview looked padded out by old stuff, you know the usual: speech impediment, "sex with Alan Rickman" etc etc. Still I suppose we have to be grateful for small crumbs.

Interesting to note that it appears to be a conscious decision not to do any interviews on My Name is Rachel Corrie. I have always been surprised that none of the Arts programmes covered it over here.

So shall we start surmising on what he could return to stage with?? Hopefully something modern.

Hi Brittany,

No, Alan and Rima do not have children. I am not surprised, though, that he participated in a program for children, for I have a feeling he is wonderful with children. I hope that this anwers your question properly.

Miriam

Miriam, Jéssika et al, please scorll down and find the new article provided by Emily and Ellen. However, there is no article about the "Sexy Beast" - this is just from a cover and you can buy the agazine on ebay if you want...

Sorry I'm so late, but:

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!

The article!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's just a minute I read it!!!! And I still can't breath.A little bit of information-not speculations!

 And his return to theater?

Nothing can be better!!! I know that he's the type-when is he playing, he puts in the character everything and it's very nerve-racking -but we all know that he loves that too!!!

ALan, how is it possible, that I love you more and more?

I'm still wheezing!

Yes, it is great to think Alan will be treading the boards again.(Is that a bit of an old-fashioned phrase?). I just sneaked out of work to see Wah-Wah at our Film Festival. Great film. Our man would have been good as Richard E Grant's dad.

So, I have two questions.  One: Do Alan Rickman and/ Rima Horton have kids?  I have been meaning to ask for a while, because A family friend of mine had a sort of schooling program for kids and says Alan Rickman was there...HE TALKED TO HIM AND DIDN'T TELL ME!!!!!!!!! URGGGG!  And the second question is I just bought Micheal Collins on VHS for a dollar (OMG) and I am confused on what Alan's role is.  I have only watched the first thirty minutes or so, but before I get farther and more confused, I would like to know whats going on and what his role is, so if anyone can help me out I would be really happy!!!!

Sorry girls, i got crazy with sexy beast pic and didn't see the link. i've just read it. he's really lovely, and man, i wish i could watch MNIRC.

Girls!!!!!

Please someone could post the link to the interview?? the sexy beast one????

PLEASE!!

From today's Sunday Times Culture Magazine:

Quote:

Listings: Look ahead The top events to book now

Snow Cake Set against the backdrop of small-town Canada, this is the story of the friendship between an Englishman (Alan Rickman) and an autistic woman (Sigourney Weaver), whose daughter has died in a car accident. From September

 

Dee, Sexy Beast is the name of a very violent Brit gangster movie starring Sir(and don't you forget it!) Ben Kingsley and Ray Winstone, maybe you were thinking of that??

The seller on EBay also has other photos of Alan, most of them I think we've seen before (all with LD), but there's one (I think around the time LLD was playing) I hadn't seen before. LD looks so young!

Thanks for posting the cover, Sue.  The EBay bidding frenzy is outta control!  Hopefully it'll show up on one of the newsstands that stock foreign papers here in a couple of days.

That woman in the pic is not Sheila.

I can't open that page, Lex.

Is it a new pic? Did you save it and can send it to me, please?

Thank you all for sharing your finds!

 Can we be certain in view of the present conflict in the Middle East that MNIRC will be shown in NY in October only my dearly beloved and I are going to see a Barbra Streisand concert in Washington DC on the 13 October and as NY is so close I thought we might go see it.But what the heck I may go to NY anyway we can always go watch Mama Mia again

Ebay is full of magazine covers for the Scotland on Sunday Spectrum Magazine.

I bet he loved that heading!!

The good old Soonews reports HERE on the showing of Snowcake at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival  on 17th September. Also gets a report in Wawa-news.com HERE. Note that a catered reception follows the showing so maybe they are trying to lure a star there!!

Dear sue, this is a safe bet!  

Thanks to Emily for the interview link. I rushed through it this morning before work but obviously missed the going back on stage bit!!! Fingers crossed for that. If it happens I have a feeling there will be a lot of travellers to London!

Oh, Wow!  Thanks so much Emily, Barbara and Ellen for the absolutely fantastic article! His interviews are so few and far between that to have one as in depth as this one is just amazing!  The best part?  back on stage!!! I have to start saving my pennies now!

Thank you so much for the photos, Emily! He really is "Pretty in Pink"!
And a big thank you goes also to Barbara and Ellen for the brilliant article!

Peekabooh, I know how you feel...

Quote:

[...] Rickman says, adding that he is planning a return to the stage soon. "It's still under discussion," he says [...]

Thank you, Emily and Barbara, for that excellent Scotsman article! 

Sorry, thanks to Emily too of course...

Thanks so much for the link to the article Barbara & Ellen.

Do you know what made me jump out of sheer exitement???

"They changed all our lives," Rickman says, adding that he is planning a return to the stage soon. "It's still under discussion," he says, adding that it will be the first piece of theatre he has done since Private Lives, in the West End in 2001"

Emily,   thank you so much for the latest pics and this great interview in Scotsman. Seldom enough do we read a good interview with him! What striked me most were his words about Snowcake:

I know Rachel only as I know any character, the way I know Alex Hughes, say, the man I play in Snowcake, who is probably more like me than anyone I've ever played. He's very close to me, because I enjoy playing somebody who is just doing his best - that's me."

This is what I felt when I saw the film - and - maybe therefore - for me it's his best film so far.

Wow, that article ROCKS!

Thank you for the link and thank you for the pictures!

I think the Alan and the kids photo was taken in front of a stage door, no? A fan's daughters? I don't believe it was his nieces...

Emily, thanx for the photos and the link.

Dee, thanx fro the story's link.

As for the pic, it is rather Phot Shop manip, of course. Even the image is quite unclear and mystery.

Good luck!

" Rickman, is still chomping on his  toasted Panani. He offers me half wich i politly refuse"

HELLLLLOOOOOOO! ARE YOU STUPID!!!!!!!

That has to be one of the nicest interviews that I have read that he has done. Well done.

'

Great pics, Emily! 

Poor guy...does he know how much he's adored? 

And thanks Emily! I adore his hair! Not so sure about the pink shirt... *smile*

I'm in a bit of a rush, so if this isn't new please forgive me. It's dated July 22, 2006:

Here's the link to the long Scotsman interview with AR. Lots of stuff here.

Good article/interview in today's (Sunday) The Scotsman,. Someone who gets Google alerts and is more technically literate will be able to do a link. Seems a promise of a return to the boards.

Emily, thanks so much for the new pictures of Alan! They're really great! The other gentleman in the photo is Simon Hammerstein, Dena's son, who's a producer, director, and entrepreneur. IIRC, "The Box" is going to be a dinner theatre/supper club located in The Village in NYC, not too far from where MNIRC will be playing. It was supposed to have it's big opening this fall.

Right, sue. And isn't AR quoted somewhere saying that his sister didn't dress her daughters in pink? 

My thought is, this is a Photo Shop manip that someone made of their (very, very cute) kids ...

Correction to the new photos -- they were taken on Thursday night, not last night.

Forgot to add -- the "rare" photo looks Photoshopped.

Anyway, here are some REAL photos of AR. Taken in NYC last night at a theater event. Woman with him is the NY producer of MNIRC, Dena Hammerstein.

Sorry to rain on the speculation parade, but I doubt those are his nieces. The nieces were probably 3 and 6 or 4 and 7 or so when CME was made in 1990. Look at Alan in this picture! He has the Private Lives haircut, which means this picture was taken in 2001 or so -- TEN years after CME was made!  Surely his nieces have not been frozen in time since then.

Also....look at the resemblance to Alan with the girl on the left!

A proper Rickman if ever I saw one.

I do believe they are Alan's nieces Amy and Claire.  They are the same two girls that were in Close my eyes and those were his nieces.  If you look at the little girl goes over and speaks to at the garden party near the end that's her on the right.

 OOops!...Here is the image

 again girls!

I found this rare pic of our Alan. I have a big doubt about it...It could be true or false... What do you think about it?

Who are the little girls around him? Are they his nieces? Does anybody here know?  ... tatatatàaaaaaan

Look at this

Hikity, I also thought so, but I believed there were something else.

By the way I found one more image from that magazine that we were discussing some time ago

    This one seemed to me a bit more vivid.

Good luck

@ITNJ: Thanks. My Firewall didn't like the site. But I finally managed the download.

LG Chalebh

Edinburgh is a bit far for me too but I would love to go see it!

Oh well I suppose I'll have to wait til September when it comes out in the cinema!

I can't remember if this has been mentioned before but Snow Cake is to be shown at the Edinburgh film festival on the 15th and 17th August 19.00 and 17.10 respectively. Tickets are £7.50 cons £5.20 I would love to go but Edinburgh is a bit too far.

Sue: According to this website

http://www.gov.on.ca/ont/portal/!ut/p/.cmd/cs/.ce/7_0_A/.s/7_0_25C/_s.7_0_A/7_0_25C/_l/en?docid=EC001124 :

I came across the news that there will be a German book about 'Perfume' and the places it was shot and supposed to take place, i.e. Barcelona, Grasse etc. It seems to be some kind of travel guide, but the article said that there also will be an 18-page-long chapter about the actual film shooting. I don't know whether it will include any interesting information, but it might be worth checking out when it will be released - probably in August.

The book's called Auf den Spuren von Patrick Süskinds "Das Parfüm". Eine Reise zu Romanschauplätzen by Oliver Mittelbach.

ah yes yes (copyright Hugh Grant lol), I remember have said that about that pic some months ago on SWARF, but I suppose we are several to have had that reaction LOL

Rickmanic, 'What's her hand doing there?' Making him smile by the looks of it!

Snowcake to open Cinéfest Sudbury. Details HERE. Now I have to admit to having no idea where Sudbury was so I googled and found it is in Ontario but I'm not sure where it is respect to Wawa! HERE'S a map!

Looks like Snowcake opens on 16th september.

Yulia, Nobel Son has long been finished filming as far as I know (do not mix it up with TVG)

Chalebh - After clicking on the link I provided, you'll need to scroll down a bit. Below the first couple of ads, about halfway down the page, you'll find a link ("Here are your downloading options"): Click on "Download for free with FileFactory Basic". A new page will open. Once again, you'll need to scroll down about halfway. There you'll find the download link "Click here to begin your download". Hope this helps.

Hello everyone!

Lia, thanx for another cute pic of Alan, he does look very naturally.

Rickmaniac and andi than you for the findings.

sue, you would not belive but we've got almost cold here, we are dreaming about heat!

I saw there was on another Guest Book a pic of Alan from Nobel Son

and an article  http://www.markadler.com/notes/notes.html  . There is written Summer 2006....Is it really going to be screened thsi Summer?

Good luck!

Hello everyone!!

First of all: This site is one of my favorites about AR - really great work!!!

Well I'm visiting this guestbook constantly - because the pics and news you share here are great!! 

Now the reason why I'm "out of underground"  now:

When I saw this picure some days ago here

and read the comment: What AR might be thinking

I remembered a funny picture from the same event which I found some month ago with a funny comment another AR-fan wrote:

What's her hand doing there?

Well I thought I should share

Now I'm back on my way to underground

Best wishes Rickmanic

By the way: Sorry for my english - it's ..... 

Good morning,

sorry but INTJ, how do I download that file, I don't see a link,  only one which get's me to another site that - after some time - will change to an advertisment.

For my thoughts about the film, look at the Discussion Party board.

That's all for now.

LG Chalebh

Glad to see someone, via AFNH, is taking SC at Edinburgh Festival seriously. The Telegraph mag on Saturday reckoned to be an E.Fest special, puffs for all sorts of rubbish, nothing for the main attraction!

Off to London for the weekend tomorrow, will wave to Sue and all southern types from the Eye at 5.30, don't forget to wave back!!

Claudia, sue, all good things come by threes - even P Allen should understand this and be delighted - three beautiful and intelligent ladies of the right age (just assumed, sue ) digging together with him...   

Claudia , good to hear from you!

Here's the download link ("Babitsky's War"): http://www.filefactory.com/file/74003f/  (AVI file, 92MB).

Welcome to our group StripeS!  I hope you will enjoy our group and have lots of AR fun! 

sue, thanks for the review of The Seagull.  For some reason (because I haven't seen a thing he's in yet), I get the distinct feeling that Ben Whishaw is an AR in the making.  Thanks for posting the new Perfume pics!  With Perfume and Snow Cake on the horizon, its just seems like fall will never get here! 

I know Villa Golitsyn is a long shot....a really looooong shot but I still have hope that it will make it to the screen one day with AR and KST. 

AFNH sent me an article a few days ago from a magazine for the Edinburgh Festival.  Forgive my tardiness in posting.  Thanks so much AFNH!!! 

Speaking of Snow Cake, what did you think of it, Chalebh?  And lucky Lurking Fairy!  We want to hear what you lucky ladies thind about the film. 

The fabulous INTJ has worked very hard on capturing Babitsky's War for us.  I now have it and I'll upload it to my server this evening and post a link above tonight.  Thank you so much INTJ for all your hard work and willingness to share so much with us.

CatsPlay found a couple of LJ postings with New York AR sightings.  Take a peek at her LJ for details. Rickmanalysis.com

Thanks CatsPlay!

Dee, I've always liked that pic from the Dogma photoshoot.  Not only do we have a beautiful shot of The Man's profile but Ben Affleck's pose is a hoot. 

Going backwards a bit.  I'm finally getting to read the Anna Massey book.  I'm such a slow reader because I only have time to read for pleasure at bedtime and I usually fall asleep.  But I'm enjoying the book.  Its been a delightful read so far.  There is one other little AR bit that I missed when I originally posted about the book.  In the Acknowledgements, AR is the very first person she thanks.  "Alan Rickman who was responsible for getting the whole project started".  I haven't forgotten the questions that were asked back when I posted the first AR bits and as soon as I get to the answers, I'll post them. 

As much as I'm enjoying reading about Anna Massey's life AND I'm twisting an old phrase around a bit....

Alan Rickman!  What's good for the gander is good for the goose!  When will we be getting your autobiography????

Kristina, I'm so glad that your Internet connection is fixed.  We missed ya!

As for the news alert about AR attending Bill Gates birthday party (thanks for posting Marlina), I was quite surprised to see his name in the list of attendees.  I would have never expected that from him. 

I've admired Paul Allen for years.  Right after making his fortune with Microsoft, he left MS (but he still consults from time to time) and used his fortune to help others.

*grin* As for gold digging Allen...can I join the party sue and Hikity?   

Alanfan~ Oh it see, Thank you! I watch a bit of it on the youtube yesterday and just wanna check in whether anyone know about it

Catsplay, Absolutely wonderful job on the LLD English program! Kudos to you!

I can't believe he's really in New York! I feel as if I should just go into the city with one of those poster signs that people wear sometimes when they're advertising and have it say, "Where in the World Is Alan Rickman?"

girls!

Hey Yulia! Here's another pic of our Alan with the unknown guys from Argentina. What I don't remember is the year. I think it was 2000 or 2001....and I don't know if you have seen it before.

Enjoy!

Marlina, yes some of the early ones had him in as, Snape, Gruber and the Sheriff, but they were not very good.

Hi there!    I found this video on myspace.  It very well made, and I'm sure you'll love it straightaway!!  Since it's a Snape video, I'll post it in the "dungeon" as well! 

Adios, mis amigas!

-jasmine

Well, I guess it won't be news to you... Still, I would like to express my true admiration of the creators of this beautiful resource. I know by experience that it's a huge amount of hard work, and... you know, the result is marvellous! Thank you very much and all the best wishes!

sue, than you for the remembering where this pic is from

Sooo lucky women you are watching Snow Cake soon and even in November and I really doubt that it will be screened here in Russia

Good luck!

Lordy...could you imagine the excitement here if Alan DID get the much deserved Oscar nomination?? And the explosion of happiness if he GOT it?? AAANNnnnnd the screams of anguish if he didn't win??

Yes, Sam, I agree but still for me the interaction and dialogues between Alan and SW were absolutely outstanding and in fact the highlight of the fílm  

Hello,

Well I for one cant wait to see Snowcake,I know that it has had a very good response abroad and one of my fellow collegues has seen this film and totally raved about it.

They had nothing but praise for the script and the film in general,but the performances were what caught my collegues eye,they said that Miss Weaver was amazing in her part,but the scenes that really stood out were between Mr Rickman and Miss Moss,said that they had some electricity going on there...Also that Mr Rickman(I must start calling him Alan oh here)was just outstanding and should be in contention for an Acadamy nod...

So,with all that,I cant wait for it to turn up here in the UK..

Sam..

sue, no, I think it's too hot in the sun to dig for gold right now. We should wait for the sunset,

sue, soon, don't worry...in November is the official release. I know it's still a long way.

Chalebh said that it won't be shown in English - which is a PITY - These dialogues are sooooo British, so dry , I luv that film.

Hikity if he's that rich I'm sure he can accomodate both of us!!

Ooh, is Chalebh going to see Snowcake tomorrow? Lucky thing. I hear that Lurking Fairy has a ticket for Edinburgh too. When are we going to get a chance to see it in London!?!

Chalebh, I wish you a wonderful evening tomorrow - have a lot of fun with Snow Cake!!!! And don't forget your camera  

Claudia, would you send me your address again, please. You could use my official e-mail if you still have it...Bono is waiting

sue, do you think Paul Allen would accept us both gold-digging?   

You know, sue, Paul Allen DOES have lovely green eyes....(grrrr)  

Sue:

Well Juliet when you're gold-digging you got to go below the surface!!

Sue, you've obviously never seen a pic of Paul Allen, he ain't pretty! See www.paulallen.com, and I think the pic there flatters him.

Just remembered, I think that photo was taken at memorial service for Hugo Young, columnist on The Guardian

Who is this gentleman and where can I meet him!!

My goggle alert today: http://www.sitnews.us/DaveKiffer/072306_kiffer.html

Did Alan have any relation with Bill Gates???

Hello!

Lia, thank you for the help, you did answer my question.

One more finding

I've got any idea where it is from. It seems to be scanned.

And one from Barselona which is not commonly known.

If someone is interested I shall make soon an album "Romeo and Juliet" with a plenty of cool pics of young Alan!

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Admirersfrom13-30ofALANRICKMANgroup

Good luck!

Meeressternchen, Just click on the above photo of Alan with his hand on his chin

Morning everybody

I'd like to discuss briefly RC and the flag - over on the discussion board

Hello girls, specially Yulia!

You asked about the pic which you posted. I remember saw that pic when Alan went to Argentina to be the narrator in Eco-Challenge Argentina. The guys around him I don't know who they are. Well, that's all what I know.

I hope I've helped you.

alankisses

Lia

At least , after many days I'm here. My internet WIFI connection was broken and I was furious!

Sue, Camerata, Yulia: the pics are amazing!!! I've never seen them before.

The idea about poems is absolutely super! The second thing with which I'm in love is LOTR and I wrote a lot of poems about it!

Happy Birthday Lex!!!       

Welcome Nicholle -you seem very likable!

Sue: Seagull must be wonderful!!! We've learned about it A LOT at school and with Juliet? ... no comment!!!      

I would love to seen it!

For all who have already seen SC!!! You are blessed!!!

Peace activists are passionate people, not fuzzy-wuzzy stuffed animals . . .

so much Camerata, Yulia and sue! Brilliant findings! BTV, can someone tell me which part of the Perfume film/book is this pic from?

Camerata, séduit par son assistante - I love this, huuh, thanks so much - that's great stuff you found - be happy! 

That photo looks as if Dee had her magical hands in it - they all look much younger than they actually are,

sue, thanks a lot for the review of The Seagull - Peek has taken the words "out of my mouth" - we envy you endlessly and then this absolutely great pic from Perfume, hmmm,

I am so much looking forward to seeing this film - maybe I can catch glimpses/news about the film during the big evening with TT in September and let you know immediately     

!!!

Hi!

Lex, Happy Birthday, sorry that I am a little late.

Sue, it is a brilliant pic from Perfume!

Please tell me anyone where is this pic from

     I have not found the answer yet. Anyway Alan looks so natural here, without real make-up

Good Sunday to everyone!

Yulia

Camerata and Sue    thank you!! 

Can't stop on the way to work but just found this:

I love that group photo from Love Actually. So many of my favorites in it!! Have you noticed that it looks like Emma is tickeling the back of Collin's neck? I bet she's trying to get him to smile.

not sure if this has been posted before... Alan Rickman quotes 

I was googling the man again  lol   Found this, and thought I would share.    

Graduation tomorrow!  (hooray for me!)

and my friend bought the press book of The Winter guest. I'll send you when she'll scan it but everything is in French sorry

Ah, Sue! It's not "shallowness"! It's "intense scrutiny resulting in a critical analysis of the human form!" :-)

Yes, I think The Villa Golitsyn is going to join the list of The Ones That Got Away! It obviously isn't being filmed at the time it was listed to ie June 5th-July 28th!

O/T( but with more than a couple of degrees to AR) - This afternoon I went to The National Theatre and saw Chekhov's The Seagull a new version by Martin Crimp. This received a few horrendous reviews as well as a couple of very good ones. Juliet Stevenson played Madam Arkadina and Ben Wishaw her son Konstantin. It appeared to be set in Russia but in about the 30s. The sets were all huge and crumbling and would appear to be post-revolution and yet strangely there were about 8 servants who scurried around rather distractingly throughout the play. Juliet Stevenson was brilliant and I think Ben Whisaw is destined fro great things. He is quite small and as thin as a rake and full of angst (plus he had a cute butt whilst leaning over the grand piano!) Mark Bazeley played Trigorin (the part AR played in the radio version and on stage I think) and he was rather tasty too! (Sorry for the shallowness) and I could quite imagine Alan playing the part.

I loved the sets which sometimes were three rooms deep ie you could see things going on two rooms behind through
