Comments:	Gee...I really hate to bring back the whole "thong" discussion, but... someone on Live Journal posted a site that Snape-loving-thong-lovers might find interesting. Sorry, I can't figure out how to post this as a real link, so you'll have to follow it the old fashion way. When there, just scroll down to the bottom of the page. http://www.cafepress.com/severelysnaped BTW -- I won't be ordering one! I slipped into a thong once in the 80's and never saw it again;)

Comments:	I was just celebrating the fact that my pc has found its voice again (it comes and goes) by listening to the Empire clip and numerous others that I haven’t been able to fully enjoy, and I down loaded the one from the GG where VR gave his award to JL. I’ve heard about how wonderful AR’s expressions are, but, I can’t see them. The clip is too small and too dark on my pc. Given the magic some of you guys can work, I was wondering if there were any good screen caps around? Or even passable ones?

Comments:	Thanks everyone for answering my question. For now we`re going for "the masterclass thingy" (lol) to the students till someone proves otherwise. Any idee how long ago this was? Tonight (it´s over midnight here) there was a (unexpected (shivers)) preview of GQ. It will be on Dutch television next Saturday (net 5)!!! My oh My don´t you just love unexpected confrontations with AR on the telly? All I could do is gasp and drool (even though he´s wearing that silly head thingy). "By Grabthar´s Hammer, what a savings" (lol).

I'm still having problems with the internet access, but hopefully I will get my own account on my laptop soon, and will be able to be around here more often! I miss posting here! I wonder if AR is coming to the Rachel Corrie premiere, now that SC is posponed for one week. And I keep my fingers crossed that AR is appearing at the Hans Christian Andersen event! See you soon!

I am too lazy to fish it out but there is a picture in the famous Theatregoer mag (the one with him on the front cover in Closet land garb) that was taken at the lecture he did in London for students. Looks very similar but am quite willing to be proved wtong!(usually am!)

The February Simon Annand exhibit "The Dressing Room" and the Joan Collins article on "The Half" (both in February archives) brought a whole new meaning to that picture. Just a head's up everyone. I have been looking for a new home for our little group for quite some time now but I think I have finally found a place that will be suitable. crossing fingers Hopefully we will move some time next week and we can say goodbye to the DreamBook gremlins for good.

Comments:	LOL, Ricky...you're partly right. In CME, Saskia Reeves asked AR if he was going to keep his knickers on to which he replied, "yes". She was relieved because she was not able to because her nightgown was so sheer that you could see through it. Well, every single google-alert I'm receiving now is referring to the film as, Snow Chance. This must be a director's/producer's nightmare. It reminds me of that telephone game we used to play as kids. One person would whisper something into someone's ear and each person would pass it along to the next. By the time it got to the last person, it was something so totally different it was laughable. Still, I'm so curious about this film now. AR has had very few love scenes on film and it would be nice to see him get a chance to do that (would make great downloads for the HAVEN too!)...and, oh...image the wallpaper fun we could have! Can't wait!

Thongs? I can't help it, I just think of cheese wire - nuff said!

Trust The Sun to get things wrong, but because of it's circulation, it's taken as gospel. It's the Muggle equivalent of The Quibbler!

Natasxxx - those pics of The Sheriff are on the 2 dvd set of Robin Hood - he gives a great wink to the camera - a 5 star thud if ever there was one!

Spring has come to Arkansas--warm today--too much of a reminder of what is to come this summer! Hate the hot weather here in the south. Was glad to see KC described as sexy as she is 48 and beautiful--wish I had her secrets--and she would be a very lucky girl to have "those" kinds of scenes with AR!

I have friends of mine - my age - who wear them and I just can't bring myself to tell them that they are neither the age, or shape to wear them and look attractive. Yes, it really is funny to watch to see how rumours spread. Shows you that most papers do not bother to check if the rumours are true. I would not be surprised if KC is not even signed up to the part. I would like to know who it is, for certain though. Yes, a VERY lucky lady!!

"Raunchy" "Steamy" "Sexy" scenes!!! THey are just too much. It is also looking even more unlikely that AR will be back for the RC talk. Such is life Sue, we've had to endure "Amarillo" non-stop since it was re-released in aid of Comic Relief (I have to admit I bought the original release on 45), and I think the robot would look just right behind Peter Kay!

Andrew Eaton and Gina Carter of Revolution Films were all too happy to oblige and have cast the actress in the leading role in Snow Cake. Kim will begin filming the quirky drama once she completes her run in Whose Life Is It Anyway? in the West End. ``The real winner in this is Alan Rickman who will have some steamy sex scenes with her in the film,'' says my man with the clapperboard. ``Kim plays a vampish neighbour who begins an unlikely affair with Rickman, who is grieving for a lost son.'' While it is a British film, Kim, 48, will still have to travel across the Atlantic to make it as it's set in Canada, but she's said she is only too happy to return to the country where she grew up after her parents emigrated.

Comments:	Snow Cake filming delayed 1 week By Camilla White-Kirkpatrick, Special to The Star Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 09:00 Local News - WAWA — Filming of Snow Cake has been pushed back one week. Location manager Anthony Kadak said shooting of the movie, including the casting of extras, has been delayed exactly one week. The film, which stars Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman and Carrie-Anne Moss, is a co-production between the United Kingdoms‚s Revolution Films and Canada‚s Rhombus Media Inc. An extras casting director was to be in Wawa on Thursday to cast 300 background performers needed for the 20 days of filming. Auditioning for extras will now take place on April 7 and shooting should begin April 10. “I think initially we only were pushing to get the filming into that time, just because of snow but I think what’s happened in the process was we just haven’t given enough of the other departments a chance to get this movie ready,” said Kadak in a telephone interview Monday. “We just need more time to the film ready.”

I cant wait to start it so Ill be better acquantied with the characters when the movie comes out. I also found a couple of old tapes that are from the BBC called Black Ladder 1 and Black Ladder 11-they look pretty funny as it stars the "mr. Bean" character Rowen atkinson. Thursday is my day off, so Ill have to give them a try. I cant wait until the weather is warmer and start going to the flea markets and yard sales again. You never know what you are going to find!!

Comments:	Kim Cattrall seems to have gotten sexier as she matured. In "Sex and the City" her character's sexually was an exaggeration for laughs, but she seems to be a sweet, nice woman as herself. And she has that womanly body instead of the tiny body/big head, starved-type. Too many actresses have been "discovered" later in their lives, but nowadays we have some young stars that are getting famous now: Kirsten Dunst, Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, I could list dozens, of course. While I'm here, I wish we had a guestbook where you could leave AR a post and he'd get them printed on paper! what fun!

Is Woodgate a popular surname in the UK, maybe? Yet another surprise for me is that KC is English! I would have never "thunk" it. Gee....leave it to a possible AR connection for me to even attempt some research! LOL Dang it. It looks like DreamBook has worked out the "page not found" problem but its next to impossible to get a post through! Patience is wearing very thin, DreamBook!

Thank you for the information, Emily! I saw this appeal a couple of weeks ago and wondered who had signed on. I'm not surprised that Alan has signed, as it is well-known that he(and Rima)espouse a Marxist/Communist philosophy. The 61st session of the UN Commission on Human Rights is currently meeting in Geneva, where this appeal was presented. The text of the appeal signed by Alan and others:

From: Alida Tellechea Ortiz, Centro de Prensa Internacional
Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 11:56 AM
Subject: LLAMAMIENTO INTELECTUALES A FAVOR DE CUBA (Inglés)
Importance: High
A group of prestigious intellectuals, in solidarity with the noblest of causes, have united in the call to oppose the manipulation, yet again, of the Cuba issue at the Human Rights Commission in Geneva. Due to the opportunity and the unsurpassive character of the theme, Casa de las Americas has adhered to this text and hopes that our closest of friends will do the same. It is with this in mind that we request that you join with the signers below in support of this noble cause.

LET US STOP A NEW MANEUVER AGAINST CUBA

From March 14th to April 22nd,2005, the 61st session of the UN Commission on Human Rights will take place in Geneva,where once more the US government will try to pass a resolution against Cuba.

It is a manipulated and selective treatment of the topic to justify the intensification of the policy of blockade and aggressions by the greatest power on the planet against a small country, in violation of International Law. The Commission must represent every United Nations member State and ensure respect for the rights of all men and women worldwide. It is significant, however, that within the Commission, during the last year sessions, it was not possible to evaluate, not even to debate, the atrocious violations of human rights taking place in US prisons in Abuh Ghraib and Guantanamo.

The US government has no moral authority to set itself up as a judge of human rights in Cuba, where there is not a single case of missing persons, torture or extra judicial killing and where internationally recognized health, education and cultural levels have been reached despite the blockade.

We request the countries represented in the Commission not to allow it to be used to legitimize the Bush Administration's anti-Cuban aggressiveness, when the current war-mongering policy led by Washington makes predictable an eventual escalation of very serious consequences. We also call on journalists, writers, artists, professors, school teachers and social activists to address their governments and express by every possible means that this dangerous maneuver stop.

All the actors look well suited to their character apart from the guy who will be playing Karkaroff who looks far too sexy to what I imagined he would. I must go back and read the description in the book. sue, isn;t it irritating when the credits get talked over, previewed etc. Why do they do that? I wish they would

Comments:	We were watching an old Cadfael episode on Sky on Saturday night. Whilst watching the baddy I was getting strong Sheriff of Nottingham vibes but said nothing. Half way through Hubby says "Hmm, am I sensing someone watched Rickman here, or perhaps Rickman watched him?" I pointed out that Cadfael was made after RHPOT but at the end of the story, Sky did the usual "lets shrink the credits so we can advertise the next show" thing so couldn't make anything out. Just checked out IMDb and sure enough the episode "Lady in the Ice" was made in 95 and one of the cast was Ronan Vibert! Isn't he the guy that people say looks a bit like an young AR? If it was him, he was doing some major ripping off to!!

I think if I were a male character in SitC, it would be a double bagger job!)But I've seen a couple of interviews with KC (but no mention of SC) and she seems a laugh. But why is the good news for AR that he gets to do steamy scenes with her? Surely it's her who should get the good news!

Comments:	Sue, Kimberley is right , it was from the Dogma conferences. Always amuses me that it looks like AR and LF are trying to ignore each other (other pics have nixed that idea, of course!). Kimberley, SitC was shown over here and developed a pretty big following, but it seemed that people either fell into the loveit/hate it camp. With me it was the latter! (I was the same with Ally McBeal, not even Robert Downey Jnr could tempt me to watch that!). I mainly remember Kim Cattral from the 80's movie Mannequin, though I have heard of her reputation from SitC. Hee - hee "Alan Rickman In Steamy Romp Shocker!" - we might have to hold our breaths for that one - LOL!

Of the three, though I have to admit, KC would be my choice. Its going to be interesting to see how this pans out. No word from Dreambook today but maybe their expert will get things fixed. I did make a little progress last night in finding a possible new option.

Name:	Kimberly
Comments:	Could this be true?!? I just got this Google Alert: KIM CATTRALL knocked alluringly around big and small screens for years until her defining role as the casually promiscuous Samantha of Sex and the City. Since putting her clothes back on after the HBO series folded, Kim has appeared in the recent Ice Princess, which does not look as if it will make anybody's career. Kim also has produced and directed a documentary on sex through the centuries and is currently on the boards in a London West End production of Whose Life Is It Anyway? She has garnered excellent notices as a paralyzed woman who wants to die. Now this native of Liverpool, who seems so utterly American, wants to continue her British invasion. She will make an English movie. Gina Carter and Andrew Eaton of Revolution Films jumped at the chance to star Kim in Snow Cake, which she'll shoot as soon as her play ends. Kim will portray a vamp who begins an affair with a man grieving for his lost son. That man is Alan Rickman, often arch and often a villain, but not here, apparently. The good news for Rickman is that the role requires steamy scenes with Cattrall. Even though Kim is getting her wish to make a British movie, filming will be in Canada. But Kim is cool. She grew up in Canada, after her parents emigrated from England. ############################## Okay, I did some quick checking on the internet, and found no other mentions of this. Can you imagine Alan with Samantha Jones? WooBoy!!;) I also found a piece of interesting trivia while checking up on Ms. Cattrall's activities: Her birth name is "Clare Woodgate," and she was born in Liverpool, England. Clare Woodgate is the birth name of Georgina Cates who played "Stella" in an AABA. How weeerd!!

A Very Happy Easter, everyone!

martha - that looks like an event to blag your way on to. I'd enjoy a spot of gnome-flinging, wonder how they're going to stage the Quidditch though - you'd need danger money!

Peekabooh - thanks for the link to that article, the writer certainly understands the Man's appeal.

Elaine, thanks for the giant Creme Egg and the Man all in one pic - heaven! - that's what I call an Easter Egg.

Natasxxx - thanks for the link to that blue background pic - I've only ever seen small thumbnails of it. It was taken the week before Bowness, if I remember rightly. I have been busy with the Clone tool and you can find it here. I hope it is OK, as I've had a glass or 2 of wine and the vision is going (is his nose straight?). I agree with Elaine about working up close, but when the watermark is over the face, there is always the ever present danger of giving him a "trout pout"!

Elaine – peeps are (supposedly) edible marshmallow... things, in awful colors and shaped like bunnies and chicks. Chicks are the original shape, hence the name. They are sugar and food coloring. Wonderful, in a totally repulsive way. Well, by the time the GB let me think about posting, Claudia had answered the peeps question. But she forgot PURPLE, they come in (VERY) purple, too.

Comments:	Oh my goodness, Elaine! I thought "peeps" were international! Let me see if I can explain. "Peeps" can only be purchased at Easter time just like the Cadbury Creme Eggs. They come in two shapes now. When they were first produced there was only one shape....chicks (hence the name "peeps"). A little later came the Easter Bunny shape. Anyway, they are these little marshmellow sweet masses covered in a crunchy sugar coating in spring colors--pink, yellow, blue, and I think I've seen them in green too. The color does not indicate a flavor for they all taste the same--sweet and one can easily get sick of them quickly. LOL DreamBook has always answered my requests for help. It might not always be the answer I want to hear but they have always responded no matter what. What shocked me is that poor Dan is working on Easter. I really didn't expect a response until tomorrow or Tuesday. Natasxxx, that is a cool wallpaper! Thanks. LOL I agree on that pic from NY PL, Elaine. I've always thought he was not to pleased with the photographer. We all know how protective he is of his woman!

No problem so far tonight. M & S Shortbread all gone now but replaced by huge tin of "Quality Street". Lucky it wasn't "Roses" but still too tempting. Glad I'm off next week!

(LOL) We also had out library Bake/plant sale last week and I really baked up a storm with cakes and making dark chocolate bunnies, easter egss etc. Thanks again for all your wonderful pics and information on AR. You guys are terrific-see you on Monday after the holiday-stay safe and enjoy. Pam

About "page cannot be found". If you Yahoo Search a page, and then click on the word "cached" you get the page (usually from a previous date), but then click on the words, "current page" and you get to the page you were looking for. I just had to do it to get Suzanne's GB.

Wondering why AR and Emma's faces look so pink...sometimes AR's face looks tan, on the other hand. If you've met him, how does he usually look?

All the stars in Hollywood seem to keep themselves tan. (Although in ballet, very pale, white skin was preferred as an artistic preference, like in Degas's day), it's one of those ways in which actor/actress vary their appearance, I suppose. I get a magazine that shows hundreds of pictures of celebrities in varying appearance, but darn, no AR; I guess his determination to be private is working too well!

So Natasxxx, by sloaperd, do you mean sluiperd (a sneaky kind of guy)? But isn´t AR as Sinclair the most handsome, astonishing, breathtaking, gorgeous (sorry, got carried away a little) guy you have ever seen? This is going to be a short night for us Dutch girls (as well for all the European countries I believe) cause they will skip an hour in time. I better get some sleep ....

Natalie well I believe she used Richard (she is saying constantely: "Pretend it never happened"...Why? Because it did happen!) Richard: well (her comes my Dutch-dialect word) is a "sloaperd"! Anyhow: Sinclair was even @t the end a real "gentleman"!

Thanks Judy (waving email soon) and Sue for information from where the pics are from. I just wonder where they have been hiding! The Dreambook gremlins have been in full force since they did the database maintenance earlier this week. I have helpdesk ticket in about the "the page can not be found" message everyone (including myself) is getting. There has been no answer as of yet. I've found when I get that message, if I go to a couple of other sites and then try the gb again, the page will load. So, if you're willing to jump through hoops, hold your mouth right, and sing "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" three times, you should be able to post. I apologize everyone...its beyond my control.

Sue, speaking of chainsaws, we lost three trees to storms this year and even though we have hundreds in our woodland, the ones that fell landed on the lawn, now they must be sawed and burned, darn! as a city girl who grew up with few trees, it's awful.

That's all for me, I wanted to post my "Easter Bunny", but no longer have it on file, so think white bunny with pastel eggs made out of keyboard characters, stay well.

Harris's family wanted Peter O'Toole to play Dumbledore, but Michael Gambon was chosen instead. I still want O'Toole to be in a Potter movie, maybe as Lucius Malfoy's father. The Fat Lady in the third film is Dawn French from the Vicar of Dibley. She can be seen opposite Mr. Rickman in Claudia's clip of the British comedy Girls on Top. Oh, and I have a question for all you British Comedy lovers. I was listening to Last of the Summer Wine (I love that one!), and I heard a very familiar voice, the one of Wallace from Wallace and Gromit. Is that the same actor?

If you love those big Bollywood type musical pieces then you have to watch it.Brilliant and really cheers you up. Who said AR should have been in Gosford Park? I so agree! The film is excellent but it would only have been enhanced by his presence. I wish he would do more of those kind of films, a la S & S. I could see him in "English Patient" too which is one of my all time favourites. Not sure which part though. Don't think he would have suited RF's part. Maybe the bloke with the airplane. I SO want to see him in uniform! Anyway, thanks for all the Easter messages. Hopefully will have something to show at some time, but for now, Happy Easter!

Comments:	@ Daydreamer - in Austria we only can learn English at school, beginning with the age of 10 and if you visit a Grammar School you have to learn French or Latin too. Sometimes one can chose a third foreign language like Italian or Spanish, depends on. As I didn't do so - visiting then a Commercial School - I have only learned English, but had the chance to learn Russian, which I didn't use because I would have preferred another language like French or Italian (in both languages I took courses as an adult - just for fun). Russian is a too difficult language IMO because of the writing. We have BBC1 too, and 2 American News-Channels, one French, one Italian, a Turkish..... And of course it is really good, listening to TV in another language. I should do this much more often, because especially my French is that poor in the meantime, lazybones me. Mia / Heike Makatsch - you've known her too? What a surprise! I watched this channel RTL1 "Bravo-TV" for years, because I have been a huge fan of the Irish Group "The Kelly Family" and I am still one of "Die Toten Hosen" and love Bon Jovi... I think you know them all smile @ kathy - oh, one can have a good laugh about foreigners, using the language wrong ;o( Once, long ago, being on my honeymoon in Egypt, one guy of our group asked me for the word of "Kette" in English. Well, he wanted to by a necklace. And I sent him in in the juweller's shop with the word "chain" ;o( But the shopkeeper was polite enough not to laugh at him. THAT "chain" always comes to my mind when I see this funny necklace-scne with AR and Mr.Bean laugh @ Claudia - Cornelius Fudge and the Fat Lady: You are making jokes about us, aren't you? badgirlyouare Can't barely believe that there is any film with AR you don't know. But I have to suggest, I realised that Robert Hardy was in S&S (not knowing his name before, now all the HP-films before S&S), but Elizabeth Sprigg's face seemed only to be familiar to me g. BTW - in the third film HP-film, PoA, there is an other actress playing "The Fat Lady". Didn't she sign up again or, what I don't hope, has she left us like Richard Harris (who was much better as "Headmaster Dumbledore" than the you one, IMO) Does anybody know about this? And I really was much annoyed yesterday, being disturbed when just adoring AR ;o)) Dogma - I've just read that in the Region 1-DVD, only available in the USA, there are two DVDs in the box?! The one I was able to order has as extras just 4 short interviews (unfortunately not with AR) and the trailer and some Trailers with Ben Afleck and Matt Damon. No directors command or something like this. I'm looking forward to see "The talented Mr.Ripley" with Matt at Easter. Have never seen it before, just know the really good book from Patricia Highsmith. Ricky

I have been so pre-occupied this past week that I found I've overlooked a lot of things I wanted to comment about so please bear with me as I get caught up, everyone. First, I want to echo kathy's praise of all our friends here that speak/post English as a second language. We have such a universal group here and it really is fantastic to see. I don't know first hand but I do understand the difficulties in posting to boards in another language and I really appreciate your efforts to be a part of our group. In reference to "Trinity and Alan". It would be nice to see Snow Cake's Alan in a pair of black leather pants, wouldn't it? grin Peekabooh, it is amazing what a good night's sleep will do for a brain! LOL Ricky, I can sympathize with your annoyance when a telemarketer interrupts an AR film! It happens to me all the time! Shame on them! Also, thanks for the German Snape forum. I'm sure some of our German speaking folks will enjoy it. Suzanne's Alan Rickman Guest Book is an AR Internet institution. Her wonderful site along with SuzyQ's site were the first I encountered when I did my very first AR search! Thanks Suzanne and SuzyQ for assisting me in those very early AR days! Elaine! Marks and Spencer! I wish they would get with the times and start selling internationally! Lucy, Cornelius Fudge and Fat Lady??? grin Are these HP characters? Natasxxx, wonderful news about the Netherlands AABA DVD! Do you know if there are any extras? Oh and we would all love to read your comments about CME if you have seen it! Reviews of AR films are always welcome here. Sharen, email me if you would like me to help you with a PhotoBucket account. I hope to, one day, post the directions. For the site that you posted, the number of rows and the way the images lay out is determined by the resolution of each individual's monitor. For instance, I only get 5 rows of pictures. So I used your descriptions and I think I identified the two pictures you were talking about. If I'm wrong, don't hesitate to tell me....LOL....it won't be the first time nor the last! Was the first pic you described, this one? The name of the guy next to him escapes me at the moment but I'm sure someone here can help us out. The second pic is really a wild guess. This one was taken at the RHPoT premiere and the woman next to him is one of the famous mystery women he has been seen escorting to various premieres. As far as I know, she still remains a mystery in the AR online world.

So keep posting--with abandon!!!! I admire anyone who has mastered a foreign language. I am sure my pitiful French would send French people to the floor laughing hysterically!! (My brother was in Paris recently and asked an ice cream vendor for a strawberry ice cream and mangled the language so bad he had the ice cream vendor busted up laughing! course you have to know my brother to know how silly he can be.) You are among friends who accept you, and your English just the way you are. Thanks also for the pics, wall papers and snow cake links, can't wait.

And also we catch here german TV (such as RTL, RTL2, PRO7, SAT1, VOX, ...) and watching TV really helps improve the language. :) (btw - I remember Mia from LA from Bravo TV LOL!) I don't think I'll join any other forum - when I'm not posting over at SWARF, then I go to czech AR chat room and the rest of the time I'm too busy with my last year at uni. But thank you for the links. :)

Wish I would have got the chance for growing up in two languages! This side seems unfortunately too much advanced to me. I don't like alway using a dictionary for catching up was people write. And one has to log in. And that for me - recently I forgot my password at work! Since then I lock it up in the safe. Just for the possibility - well, one of them is rickman. THAT I won't never forget, I suppose ;o) I'm only reading and sometimes writing on this board and on that one Suzanne's Alan Rickman Guest Book A nice German (my third one,I frequentelly be - more don't I write in and being reguarly - having not the time I wished to have) is this one, they are really nice there, but especially Snape-Fans: Severus Snape Fanfictionforum This was the first side with AR, where I wrote that much and informed me a lot. But they are not as much informed about AR, well most of them are more addicted by the HP-books and also films, but most of them are grown-up. Not kiddis, who have just seen that wonderful snape lol RIcky PS: my German is better than my English ;O))))) Beliefe me!

Coming in fasion more and more hereabout the last few years. (I know it would come - knew that kind of making surveys from Roseanne Barrs comedy series smil - I loved her g) A woman called and wanted to know if I could answer her some questions about politics in Upper Austria (one of the 9 sections of Austria, where I live in) I asked at once, what age she wanted to talk to - I have had made the experience before, that they only want people up to 40 (I'm 45), men sometimes older. Well - at least women 29!, men doesn't matter how old they are. Well, I wouldn't have given her answers (because of this call I had to stop GQ, just was Dr.Alexander speaking g), but I was curious. Isn't this sex discrimination?! And discrimination of elder people too? I now from my own experience, that the young ones don't even go to the elecions. Most of them aren't interestit in politics and have no own opinion. badmoodnow Ricky PS: sorry about telling you this - but Marvin is depressed too and doesn't give any serious answer to me ;o(

That way, everyone here can look at them on the Corbis site and right click and save them to their hard drives. That might be another way to cut down on the posts of old photos.

Comments:	I have one small request to all the wonderful artists and icon makers here. The GB is loading verrrrrry slowly for me over the past couple of days to the point of frustration. It's all the manips and moving icons and caps, I think. Did you know that with a Photobucket account, you can post only a small thumbnail of your picture here? Then when we click on it we get the full version on a new screen. The instructions for how to do this are on the HTML Practice Page. Or you could even make your Photobucket account public and just link to your account on the GB and we could go there and look at your gifs and pics. Or maybe someone knows how to do a "cut line" on Dreambook? I know on LJ, you can put in a bit of coding that will hide your picture behind a link, especially useful if you're posting something you dont think would be appropriate for people to view at work. Don't get me wrong. Brand new photos of AR (like the Empire pics from the other night) we'd want to post as fast as we can and splash them out so everyone can see them. But screen caps from S&S and Mesmer, I think, are not so urgent since we have all seen them before. So maybe we could help the loading issues by putting those behind a link or thumbnail? Just a thought! Don't take offense. We are growing so fast here that we have to think about these things.

Comments:	Isn't that pic from Collateral Damage II, Sue? Doesn't he look great??? kathy, I have Ruby Wax's book too. I laughed till I cried with it and like you I couldn't put it down after I started reading it. I have always found RW hilarious and enjoy her comedy a lot. Like Peekabooh, after reading the book, I found a whole new respect for who she is and where she came from. I am saddened there her play hasn't taken off. I had hopes it would really put her in the spotlight. Speaking of plays....Spamalot is really getting some great reviews. Hooray for the ever funny Eric Idle!

Did you see him banging his head against the wall after he said "I´m so depressed"? I even liked the way he sneezed!

Comments:	Have any of you read Ruby Wax's book How Do You Want Me? If it wasn't so screamingly funny you'd be crying your eyes out. She has a certifiably crazy mother and her father's not too stable either! I got the book this afternoon in the mail and started to read it and have done nothing else all evening. It is hysterical--I haven't laughed that hard in years but it is no wonder she had a breakdown. She called AR in the middle of labor when they wanted to do a C-section and said she wanted to go out to dinner with him --right then!!! Fortunately saner heads prevailed. It's no wonder she fled America--anyone would want to get as far away from her parents as possible. She does say some lovely things about AR--they must be great friends.

It's good to hear him talk about LLD too. After that, LLD transferred to Broadway, the producer of Die Hard saw him in it, cast him as Hans and the rest is history. It's lovely re-reading that interview because you know what came next!

A little homophobic, IMO, but funny nonetheless. Anyway seeing his act only reminded me of the lost episode of Night After Night with a guest appearance by AR. Ladies, we just have to dig up this episode! Also, I saw the last 35-40 minutes of Directors: Kevin Smith and there was no AR. Although not likely, there is still 20-25 minutes that I missed so maybe just maybe he will appear.

Strange. On my DVD she is lying on him until he remembered the food and phoned his friend Mike to fetch it. Must have been left out on my film?! Ricky

The way he backs away from her, the way she cracks him in the boys, the looks he gives her like he cant take anymore. What a truly brilliant performance by Alan, a genuine acting clinic. Oh, and if i may take this time to comment about Judas Kiss, for those of you who did not like it, i was the same way and i gave it a go again and the more i watch it the more i liked it, i just didnt ff to the Alan parts but watched the whole thing, i enjoy it tremendously every time i watch it now...just thought i would let you know that i hated it the first time i watched it,ewww,Alan and Emma and thier awefull accents, but again the more i watched it the more i like the whole damn thing.

She got justice on him though when he put the garlic on her lap and she figured it out that it was him all the time. I can honestly tell you that one of my favorite Alan scenes of all time is when he is leaning over the hot torture device and there is a drip of sweat that drips off him and when it hits the grill it sizzles.........i tell yah, what a hot and sexy scene.

Talking of rhyming slang, we have an ad for "Bran Flakes" with William Shatner in it and I always wondered why they picked him. But he is known to wear a "toupee" and as Sue said, "Syrup of Fig" is slang for "Wig" , and syrup of figs is an old fasioned remedy for constipation - as is Bran. Talk about 6 degrees of separation.

Dee, you're right about there not being many "making love" scenes in AR resume of films (drat!). I love listening to him describe his first scene like that which was in Close My Eyes. Thanks again Sue and Michelle on the definition of "treacle". If I'm ever called that by a London cabbie, I'll be sure not to give him a dirty look! LOL Thanks for the answer GG. You are right, we AR fans do tend to forget there were other stars on Dogma don't we. grin But surely, KS could come up with a Metatron inaction figure instead of that nasty popmonster!

Comments:	Claudia, in answer to your question earlier I went to the Secret Stash shop in Redbank primarily to get some Jay and Silent Bob stuff for my son who is a cofirmed admireer of theirs. It was he who told me that Alan was in Dogma although he still won't have it that he is the star of this particular movie which is one of a series starring Jay and Silent Bob The shop is stuffed with all kinds of J and SB merchandise, an absolute paradise, and there is a real car and two life size figures of the two of them in the car inside the shop. Apparently Kevin Smith often goes and works in the shop when his committements allow him to. Ther was no Rickman signatures that I could see but it didn't matter as I have his autograph twice, once from Bowness and once from outside the Richard Rogers Theatre in New York. Although we AR people think of Dogma as being a film that stands out it is only one of a series of about six and therefore not that noteworthy (except to us).

AFNH - I LOVE ED, such a cute guy. Wish I had such a grazy neighbour like him ;o) His part is too small, but I like the whole film, so this is not that bad. Peekabooh - unfortunately I don't know TMD :o( GQ - I've just bought it - but only because of him. Saw the film recently for the first time on the telly / or in the telly ?! (sorry, don't know if on or in is right). Well - not my kind of film. Bit his mimikry in it is priceless lol And I think - even in that awful mask he looks great! Ricky

I also liked Galaxy Quest, though I´m not a SF fan. Well I guess when it comes to AR, I like to watch every movie he is in. It´s just nice to notice his expressions, his smile, the way he moves......

Everyone on this board is fantastic-what with enlish and american slang regularly popping up. I digress. Treacle is an affectionate term much loved by London street traders and cab drivers and used in the same way as honey is in America. eg Can I help you treacle? Not often used by a man about another man I have to say ! Just means he thinks he is great.

Comments:	Pam -- If by "graphic" you mean sex scenes, that doesn't bother me too much (unless we're talking porno...gag! No pun intended!). I don't have a problem unless it's obvious they've added sex just to sell tickets. As a matter of fact, There aren't very many movies that feature AR in love-making or sex scenes, is there? (for some reason, all I can picture in my mind is the Sheriff of Nottingham trying to consummate his marriage to Marianne!:) You'd think directors would have given AR more over the years -- he proved himself as a lover in Les Liaisons Dangereuses. But, perhaps that's his choice and he avoids those roles.

Comments:	Dee, The best thing to do is to get it at your library, view it and then make up your mind on how you feel. Some of the subject matter is a little "graphic" (just my opinion) and not one of my favorite AR films, but I am glad I saw it anyways although it wont be added to the others in the Ar collection (LOL) I guess no matter what the man is in, he is great and believe me, he was in this one also especially the Peter Pan scene! Enjoy and who knows, it may be one of your favorites.

All of you AABA fans -- I've never seen this film -- I've only heard about it, and must confess that the plot sounded so creepy that I've sort of been avoiding it. Maybe I've been wrong and should watch it. What is it that you like about it?

Comments:	Treacle: I first saw this word in the movie title "Brimstone and Treacle" which starred Sting, who played a guy who was a "real sweet talker" and was ever so charming with his verbal expressions, but it was mostly insincere and manipulative. Funny how people crave kindness even when they know it is not likely real in some cases. I agree with the AABA being my favorite AR picture, but I think it's because all the characters are interesting to me, although I have no intention of going into theater, well, maybe I belong there. I just find them all fascinating.

It's really good, I think) 2) HP movies (Alan as Snape - there's nothing more, that I need to say ;) ) 3) Galaxy Quest (I like it, cause it always cheers me up :)) ) Alfan: The story about Jay and Silent Bob is so funny! LOL! I think I will re-read the KS Dogma diary. :) Susan: Nice pictures! I esp. like the line, that's written in the magazine (if I deciphered it correct, it says): "I prefer to speak other people's romantic words, than give away any of my own."

Before I bought Nero I had a little program called All Recorder for my mp3 compression. I have played the sound file over and over and never could figure out what Phill Jupitus said about AR in the end. Thanks to the perky ears here and thanks for the definition of treacle, Sue. I would have never thought it was a nice word without the context it was being used and your explanation. LOL Ricky, of the three films you listed, CME would be on the top for me. Sinclair and his looks are simply a sin! Thanks for the transcript, Alfan! I didn't know there was a Jay and Silent Bob store period, GG! Have you been to it? And if you have, what did you buy??? wink

I purchased AABA, CME and Mesmer a couple of months ago so they're still fairly new to me. S & S is the movie that got me hooked on AR. I still have a long way to go though before I've seen all (or at least most) of AR's movies.

I'm just a stoopid American, I have not a clue what treacle is. Sounds like something sticky sweet to me. I'll bet under that composed, suave exterior beats the heart of a little boy and he probably loves to be around the "bad boys" to laugh and be the kid he really is. Not having kids around he probably doesn't have a chance to act silly much.

Comments:	Ricky, my all time favorite AR film is AABA. it was the first one i ever bought and I like it for the part where he comes into the movie and just stands there for about five minutes just saying nothing. The expressions on hs face are marvellous, he has such an expressive face. Did you all know that there is a Jay and Silent Bob shop owned by Kevin Smith, in Redbank, New Jersey, about 12 miles out of New York and it is accessible by bus.

I love that story. Ahhh Dogma is another of my fav AR films - I almost became an Anglican Priest so the concept intrigued me from the start...a lot to think about with that fim and having the details from you I will see it in a whole new light! ROFL! Those Kevin Smith diaries - I vaguely remember reading them some time ago and completely forgot about the AR comments. I will have to troll through them again and post the links...

Comments:	@SeverinaSnape - S&S (maybe SPOILER) he is so lovely in this film. I can't tell how much I have cried! Every time. Haven't seen it for 2 months or so ;o) Also wen Hugh Grant comes to ET and SHE cries. Aweful ;o( It's a really good film, but I enjoy films, where I don't have to cry sigh SnAPE: HP-films - I first read the books. I was pushed in. Everybody read them. All of my friends. I didn' want to. Well finally I did. Snape was great (well, I never wanted him as a teacher) And then the first film - Quidditch, when he told the countercourse. WOW. I saw the second HP-Film. I searched who this AR was! (and lovely Jason Isaacs g) Well - a new fan was born. New him before from "Die hard" (did every time see this film on telly because of the bad guy - well, I like Bruce too, but it was the BAD Hans I wanted to see, but never looked at his name) and also Robin Hood ( I like KK too, but this Sheriff...) Well - I have to suggest, I hate it, to be on the side of the bad guys... But when AR is one ;o( Ricky PS - I became addicted to AR because of the AR-films! A lot of his films I didn't know before. Oh - BTW Judas Kiss I knew ;o( Not a good film at all I suppose. And I knew January Men tooo - I found that painter lovely, that lovely, that lovely ;o))))

Comments:	Hi Ricky! Hmmm that is a tough poll... Well of the AR films I have seen - my fav would have to be Sense and Sensibility - the moment when he implores Emma Thompson to "give him an occupation" or he "shall go mad" - just makes the film for me. My favourite TV performance would definately be Dwight in "Fallen Angels: Murder Obliquely" which I only discovered thanks to the Download Haven. I dont have a television at the moment so cant even entertain the thought of buying DVDs I cant watch. Of course as you can see by me screenname - I am an HP fan - but of the complexity of Severus Snape. Not a Snape fangirl and while I definately love AR in the role and think he is much better cast than Tim Roth would have been - my mental picture of Snape is more in keeping with some of the fan art I have seen rather than AR...

Comments:	Well, there is a bit more to the story of Alan and Jason, but i will the best i can to decifer it. Remember, this is Kevin Smith telling the story. Kevin discribing himself talking to Jason-you gotta be top notch, you gotta be funny,you gotta be on cue, your the strong back thats gotta carry the movie.You gotta know your lines, cause we got real actors in the movie this time. And he (Mews) is like, "not like Affleck" and i said,no, not like Affleck, no we got like real actor. And Jason say, "like who".And Kevis says, we got Alan Rickman in this movie and Jason says "who the f-ck is that." Kevins says, you know Alan Rickman from f-cking Die Hard, yippee-kay-yah and he (Jason) says,"Bruce Willis" and i said no, the other guy,you know he's the bad guy the villian. And Jason is like "oh, alright, so what." And im like" well Alan Rickman is like a britsh actor man and british actors, they f-ckin invented acting. They will chew the f-ckin scenery around you, he will make you look like a fool, he wont put up with snoochie phoochies and sh-t like that he needs you to be on, and therefore in top notch, he has worked with the best and you cant let a dude like this down. So with like all the other films we rehearse with all the other actors seperately and Jason Mews i always start with, so i sit down with Mews to start rehearsing his lines and he comes in the room with no script, and im like where is your script and he said he didnt need it. And i said what do you mean you dont need it, and he said again, i dont need it, just try me. So i start reading all the lines that arnt Mews and he starts doing his lines back with out a scipt and i say thats pretty good and we keep going and he knows everything, bang left and right and i said holy sh-t did you memorize all your lines,and he is " yah, and everybody elses too". And i said bullsh-t and he said try me so i start reading Mews lines and he starts reading back everyone elses lines without a script. And im like what the f-ck, what are you, rain man. I said what happened dude?, Why did you suddenly become a genious and he (Mews) said " i dont wanna piss of that Rickman dude". And during the filming, it ended up that Alan and Jason got along real well, and as Kevin says, they ended up chumming around on and off stage. If you have the movie Dogma, i highly recommend you listen to the commentary as you learn that it was Alan's idea to die his hair black and look all pasty, you learn about the hoodies that the angels are wearing, you learn that Alan hurt his back really bad and was out of action for about a week and you can see when he returns that he is carefull in his movements because he is still in major pain, you learn that Alan ( like he is known for) questions Kevin on a few things and the answers that Kevin gives are halarious. Trust me, watch it. And if you can, go to the official Dogma web site and read the entries into Kevins diary, you learn that Alan jogs, bought a pair of "way to tight pants" and that he is "one fine dancer".

At the moment it is "Dark Harbour" for me. He is wonderful, all this looking of him (explained by the director sometimes) He is also looking wonderful. Mysterious film, but it has something that attaches me in some way. 2. Close my eyes - not only his acting. Also his eating laugh wolving down his sandwich + breakfast. Just lovely. And he ist THAT cute, soooooo goood to look at (I have said before, I would have liked HIM to play the brother g) 3. him in the Potter films - all this looks and gesturing. Well :o) At the moment. And - I haven't seen all of his films (not AABA, TMD, CL) Ricky curious to your answers :o)

Comments:	What a respect against AR Keven could do in the young guy. I have to suggest, in Dogma I hardly could understand him. He is talking that fast. Sometimes I only could get the F...-word when I saw the film the first time laugh Thank you for explaining. Bad language is no problem for me (haven't downloaded until now this audio) - I have learned that much of bad words the last year. Too much lol Especially American films use bad language, I suppose?! English ones show more "naked skin" Or I am wrong? OUR (Austrian) spots on TV, I mean advertising, show too much naked skin. What has a woman, sparely dressed, to do with selling a car? But this is off topic, I now. :o) But I'm always just wondering - and my husband is annoyed too. Strange, you think? Well, sometimes I think he is more sensitive about all this marketing on naked women-skin than I am. Ricky

Elaine (who is away this weekend and is going to be sooo busy getting caught up here) was kind enough to send me a tutorial video on the clone tool. I had forgotten about the AR/Mewes story. Its hilarious the way Smith tells it. Marlina, the sound file for that story is on the Audio page. Be careful though, if you are sensitive to off color language though. Dee, I used Nero's Sound Editor to capture the sound. The program comes with a handful of times you can save a file to mp3 and you have to purchase the plugin to continue using that feature. But it is so worth it because it compresses to the max and you still get very good clarity. If you need any help with it, email me and I'll be glad to help.

So I'm walking across Waterloo Bridge last Sunday night after watching Ronnie Wood and his band and these three cars pull up half way across, just in front of me. The back door of the nearest one opens up and out gets Alan Rickman! People start pouring out of the other cars, Phil Jupitus gets out of the other side of Alan's car. They all congregate by the wall as Alan starts pointing out the London landmarks to the Americans in the party, St. Pauls, etc. "Thus concludes the two minute tour", he says, "please don't forget to tip your driver". We're standing open mouthed as I start to recognise others in the group, it's Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes - Jay & Silent Bob!!!! It takes longer for me to realise who the quiet, short guy staying at the back is - Matt Damon! Each of them had dates, partners, etc, they started taking pictures of each other with St. Pauls in the background. We had to leave them to it as we had a train to catch. Got to the end of the brdge and looked back, they were still there. It was then that I realised what they had in common, Alan, Matt, Jay and Kevin were all in Dogma, directed by Kevin. It wasn't till the next day that I found out that they had all been at the Empire awards that night and must have just left.

Comments:	Thanks Emily for the link to the BBC Soundfile. Thanks Sue for the 29 min. hint... I just listened to it. Wow doesn´t it feel good to hear another guy speaking such lovely words about AR? It's funny you started the LA discussion Ricky. Because yesterday at the same time I started to watch LA again. I lent the DVD to my sister (she adores English humor just like me) and she kept it for about 3 months! So I was very happy I got it back. Then I looked up this GB and you wrote about LA. Talking of a coincidence!

Comments:	@Dee Love Actually SPOILER maybe... I think, a not only loving father but also loving and thinking ;o) husband should have avoided situations like AR got into with Mia in this film. He just should have talked to Mia, she should behave herself and that he is not only her boss but also a well married man with two children, who could even be her father too. But - maybe midlife crisis? And about the Christmas present she wanted - he could have said, that he will give her one because of being such a good secretary, doing such good work for him. Making barriers like this. The only thing I can blame his wife ET - she realized at the party, that the girl and her husband seemed to be very close (sorry, missing the right expressions now). I would have made big scene in front of him - at home. At the party I would have tried to separate the both. She is also a warmhearted friend p.e. against the widower, not only loving mother and housewife. And with THAT boy of a son - I think she often fells in bed really exhausted in the evening. And about good looking and sexy. Well, Mia is neither more pretty nor more sexy than the wife, IMO. A woman and mother in her forties is not to be suspected to run along in short dresses and behavour like a young one. And - BTW, Mia is in her 30ies too, I mean the actor. And if the husband wants ET in other clothes - he could suggest it, going shopping together I think, that sometimes she would dress like he wants her to see in. End of SPOILER. Of course I know that it is just a film, just a copy from things sometimes happen in real life - but it is also one of those films, one can think about it. Well – and AR wants us to think when we watch films ;o) Ricky

Can't you just see the whole gaggle of them on Waterloo bridge taking pictures and cutting up. If any of you like Kevin Smith whatsoever, listen to the whole show--he actually doesn't use any four letter words! Its worth a listen. I can't wait to see the KS Encore night. The Directors show might yield an AR bit or two. crossing fingers I've never seen Chasing Amy and since AR mentioned liking the film at one time, I suppose I will try it out on the 25th. The AR bit in An Evening With Kevin Smith is already on the Awards page. But, being somewhat a KS fan, myself, the whole show is worth a watch. Dee, I like the idea of seeing Karen slap the horns off of Mia's head! LOL Vicki, the sound on the Mesmer DVD is better than the VHS but its still not as good as it should be. There was a lot of "soft talk" in the film that could have been magnified a little better, I think. Happy birthday to Pam's Mom! 80 years old....Wow!

It's at Aro Video (out in Te Aro), but it costs a fair bit to hire, about $5 for 3 nights. Oh, and its VHS. As for An Awfully Big Adventure, I can send you the VHS if you're interested. It's in perfect condition, and it's yours for free. Just leave a message on the board with your email address and let me know if you'd like it. As for everybody else - thanks for the video clips, and photos, and soundbytes. Everybody seems to ahve such keen eyes and ears! It's amazing what you come across when you get in here. And the money raised for the auction and the birthday fund was fabulous! AR has such dedicated (and rich!) fans!

Try omitting that An. Picky search engine. Incidentally, I love the DVD. The image quality and sound quality are light years better than the VHS I had before. One thing I really notice is how dewy and young her skin is. It really sets off the age difference. Of course, now ABBA's available on R1 for us Amerkins.

My friend Deb put the bee in my bonnet to look for audio of Kevin Smith on the Phil Jupitus BBC6 radio show the morning after the Empires. And guess what? It's in the Listen Again archive and Kevin talks about going to the Waterloo bridge with Alan -- it was all Alan's idea. You must hear this. Find "Phil Jupitus" under "Shows," then it's well-marked on the Phil J home page - Monday March 14. Start listening, Kevin talks about Alan in the first 20 minutes. It's worth it, believe me. Not giving any spoilers.

Comments:	Kevin Smith night on the Encore cable movie channel March 25. Might be an AR tidbit somewhere. Friday, March 25th "The Directors" (7:00 p.m.) This latest episode features clips from Smith's films "Clerks," "Dogma," "Chasing Amy," "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," "Jersey Girl," and "Mallrats." The segment includes extensive exclusive chats with Smith, plus interviews with Ben Affleck, Joey Lauren Adams, Jason Lee, George Carlin, Alanis Morissette, producer Scott Mosier, and Smith's wife, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith. "Chasing Amy" (8:00 p.m.) A cartoonist (Ben Affleck) falls for a fellow artist, a vivacious lesbian author (Joey Lauren Adams). The film co-stars Jason Lee and Kevin Smith. "Clerks" (10:00 p.m.) Smith's first film looks at a day in the life of clerks at two adjoining stores. The film introduced the world to the dynamic duo of "Jay and Silent Bob" (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith) and co-stars Brian O'Halloran. "An Evening With Kevin Smith" (11:35 p.m.) In this exclusive television premiere, Kevin Smith spins humorous tales to college audiences across the country.

Wellington is meant to have the most intelligent population in New Zealand so no wonder there are lots of AR fans.

Yesterday at the library we had a special Irish Celtic Program for our senior citizens plus any homeschoolers in the area. There were many different musical instruments and some very lovely music that the performer played. Tomorrow is my moms 80th birthday (she lives out west in Idaho) so will make sure to call her and wish her the happiest of days. She still does all her yard work etc. and keeps going. My sisters and I all went in together and got her a big bunch of tulips (50) in all plus we all sent her individual presents which she is enjoying. My other sister that lives out there is going to have a pizza party for her tomorrow. Anyway, thanks again for all the information. I think I'll be up for a few hours trying to read it all and looking at all the links etc. (LOL) Have a great weekend-Pam

Comments:	Oh, one thing I forgot to mention....Closet Land vs. An Awfully Big Adventure. AR gives a brilliant performance in both films. However in CL, he plays a very disturbing character...just a word of caution. Also, ABBA, for some reason, is promoted as a comedy. Although there are some comedic moments, I would not consider this a comedy at all. As long as you view it with an open mind and don't expect to be "yuk-ing it up" you will most likely enjoy this film very much.

Emily - I LOVE that picture. He looks just delicious. Dee - I agree with your assessment of Mesmer. Maybe not the best of films, but AR goes a long way in making it watchable...not just for crazy fans like us, but for everyone. I also had the same interpretation about her loss of sight the second time. The trauma of being forced to return to her abusive father after making such progress with Mesmer (emotionally, physically, and psychologically) sent her over the edge and her only way of coping was the psychosomatic loss of sight. Many have complained about the sound quality on this film. I have it on DVD and the sound seems to be fine. Maybe it's the VHS version that's bad? LOL about Karen "slapping the horns off of Mia"....I think if she would have shown her backbone right then, it would have "slapped the horns" off her husband as well. Summer - Welcome! Sounds like you and Barbara and the other NZ fans should get together and have an Alan Rickman film festival. I'd join you if I could swim that far.

Comments:	Ricky -- AR's storyline in Love Actually made me cry too. I think AR looks incredibly handsome (he just gets better with age:) but I wish he would have been strong enough to ignore Mia's offer. I've read posts by some who blame his affair on his wife -- saying she was too busy, too unsexy, too clueless, and too occupied with the kids. Well, speaking for busy, unsexy, clueless mothers everywhere -- I don't agree. Work it out, talk it out, break out...but keep your pants on until things are settled. But, I do wish at the Christmas party (when AR and Mia were dancing) that his wife would have worked up a little passion and slapped the horns off Mia! That's a scene I would have liked to see! But that's just my opinion. Everyone is free to disagree with me!!

Was this a joke with the "champaign kick-in" or did they really try to "fill him up" laugh Well, the expression on his face is lovely, but the statue session-picures are not really my peace of cake.

AABA is one of my favorites and CL is brilliant but is difficult for me to watch. What region code is your area, Summer? AABA and CL have already come out in, I believe, region 4 which is Australia. And AABA is coming out in region 1 next month. So, if I were you, I'd hold back a bit and see if you can find them at a reasonable price before paying a fortune for them on eBay. Snic, the Julia Roberts/worst Irish accent gave me a giggle. Wow! What a pose! I agree with you on the era of that pic, Emily. Thanks for posting it!

Having watched most of his films, I wonder who has seen An awfully big adventure and Closet land!? They are both not really widely availabe on DVD and now both have popped up at ebay in GB and I wondered if it is worth buying one of them or both even if it's expensive to get them shipped to NZ? Especially Closet land seems quite difficult to get, right? Anyone who knows where the DVD is available to buy? It's still really cheap on ebay...maybe it stays like that :D It's so great to have a place to go to & talk about almost nothing else than Alan :D

Comments:	TGIF, everyone!!! The Mesmer conversation is great! I believe that in the MoM video, the cause of her return of sight and subsequent loss was mentioned. If memory serves me right, I think they spoke about Memser skeptics explaining that it was the bump to her head that could have caused a detached retina which would have temporarily brought her sight back (as Elaine detailed earlier for us). Catherine reported that the RADA AR birthday donation stands at £1501.85!!!!! The donation time closes today and RADA will soon announce the total and give details of the student(s) it will be helping. I am so proud of everyone's efforts in this very worthy (and I think appreciated by AR) birhtday pressie. Also, Claire reported that AR's piece on the Free Tibet art auction (which ended last night) topped £2100 but I have not been able to find that information on the Free Tibet site. As of now, the current highest bid posted on his offering is £300. Although it would be fantastic if £2100 was raised for his piece alone, I can't help but wonder if that amount is the combined total for all the pieces offered. If anyone finds anything about this, please let us know.

Didn't she mention earlier in the film that there were some things she just couldn't look at? It's been awhile since I watched the movie, so I could be really wrong...

Comments:	@Natastxxx - Oh, I know this picture too g @Susan – I’m sorry. You’re right - It was not that thoughtful writing, that it is a bad film. It is just my opinion for that film being boring, having bad tone quality / soundtrack, the filming itself (camera) and so on. I think, they could have done so much more with Mesmer’s interesting life. But it still became a film where one is thinking about, I suppose. @Susan + Elaine: SPOILER – I’m thinkin, she was cured by the bang at her head, being confused about the screaming girl Fancesca and the shock, wenn she suddenly fell down on her head. And thank you for explaining what Marie Therese told Mesmer at the end of the film about her blindness. Strange thing is, that I thought / read somewhere that all those people except AR were Hungarian ones? Being cheaper to pay. I recognizes an Austrian actor (theatre-actor from Vienna – I think, he is still there). He was the servant who had to bring upstairs the water for the bath. First I wasn’t quite sure, but then I read his name at the and of the film. What I liked very much– except AR g - was the garden and the sight of the house, he lived in. Ricky

Comments:	Susan, that's a good way to sum up Mesmer. It's not my favourite although AR's performance is flawless as usual. The one thing that put me off was the soundtrack. I found it quite mournful and boring I am afraid. SPOILER: Being a nurse, I always assumed that she regained her sight through the bang on her head rather than anything Mesmer did and that could be attributed to a detached retina or even a brain lesion. These can re-occur quite easily and that's what I assumed would have happened. That would not have been understood at that time.

Comments:	Lots of people like Mesmer the best of all AR's films, finding it complex, sensitive, thought-provoking, and moving (I'm one of those people). Lots of other people find it unclear, inconclusive, obscure, and other things they don't like. So I'd say it's a guestion of taste, of "I like it" vs. "I don't like it" more than "good" vs. "bad." A fabulous performance in a flawed film is the verdict I've heard most frequently. SPOILER MT says that when she could see she couldn't hit the right notes; that seeing cost her her music, a price she wasn't willing to pay. I think she was also unwilling to see the pain and squalor in the life around her and in her own life. I suspect she may also have returned to blindness semi-consciously to punish Mesmer for leaving her, even though the authorities threw him out of town. We aren't likely to get simple closure from a script changed by AR, who dislikes things put in boxes and pinned down, who says he doesn't know the fate of the boys at the end of Winter Guest.

Quite cute if you watch it. Maybe I'll do a little vidette when I get the chance although it's not very good quality because of the stage lighting.

Tried to post this morning but Dreambook had the munchies again.

Elaine - that distance shot is near enough to the one I saw at the end credits. If you look closely, you'll see him grab a bottle of something.

Sue - love the paper - what is that font? Must admit, would love to be a fly on the wall to see him shake his funky stuff at the Mos Def gig!

Comments:	Ricky - it's not so much a problem with you understanding English as the film being rather poor! It is his wife's son by her first marriage and she does appear older than Mesmer. I think she owns the house and has the money etc Also the scene where Maria bangs her head is very poor I think. It appears that she regains her sight from the bang on the head rather than Mesmer's miracle cure Also it is not explained why she loses her sight again either. I know Mesmer has it's fans but once you get over the fact that he looks gorgeous and he is in the film most of the time it really isn't very good.(IMO)

Comments:	Happy St.Patrick's Day to all of you, who celebrate it. @Sue - what a lovely Wallpaper! @all - Question about the film Mesmer: - Maybe Spoiler- Well, I don't he hates his wife, does he? And I didn't get this - this boy, who wants to rape Francesca, Mesmer's wife's younger girl-cousin, is this his son too? Or is he her second husband (or the third, fourth g) He seems to be much younger then her? And SHE seems to have the money, the house belongs to her and so on? Or did I misunderstand it? In this film not only my not that good g understanding of English was a problem, but also the really bad tone quality sigh - so I might have misunderstood or misunderpreted some things. Why was Maria Theresa blind again? I couldn't catch the dialoge Mesmer and her had about seeing in the end :o( - End of Spoiler - Ricky

You will find the file Sound Files for Alan Rickman Pics and Fics Also, Sheena has a much better transcript than the one I posted a few days ago. "This is Alan Rickman and I just got hijacked by Matt and Carl, at the Battersea antiques fair. They claim that you are going to give them £10,000 each (?)... That's cool, but erm you also have to pay £1,000 to a charity of my choice, that one will be Children on the Edge. I hope this works otherwise its a dirty scam... laughs" Then he hung up... Thanks Sheena. Good ear you have there and the magic you worked on that sound file is amazing.

It really does look like an excellent romantic comedy. Emily mentioned a while back that it might spark some interest in some of Binder's other films so we are all crossing our fingers and pinning our hopes. Marlina, I agree with you on Jeremy Irons looking awfully creepy in that Snape costume! Of course, I've always thought JI was a bit creepy looking in a sexy sort of way no matter how he's dressed. I don't know about green beer in other countries but I know it flows like the river in good ole Savannah, GA! wishing I was there

Comments:	HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY Hope everyone has a fun day wearin' o'the green! I just watched Disc 2 of the Concert for George last night it was so sweet and sad. His son is the spittin' image of him yet looks sooo young and innocent especially next to all the other musicians. It looks like he and his mom have been very well supported by the music community. It was sweet to see Uncle Ringo give Dhani a kiss on the cheek. It brings me back to my teenage years when I had Beatles pictures plastered all over my bedroom. Good to see AR's picture in the book Olivia Harrison has put out. I also watched the Kenneth Branaugh movie of Much Ado About Nothing and it was great you could see a little of the future Professor Lockehart in him smile also so many other familiar faces--Imelda Staunton, Keanu Reeves--very good by the way--, Phyllida Law, Michael Keaton--also good--, and others, good to see American actors trying out Shakespeare! Oh, and the scenery was fabulous, some Italian country house, exquisite! If any of you are going to be enjoying "green beer" (do they do that in other countries besides America?) be careful, but have fun today. I am a mixture of so many nationalities I can celebrate with everyone!!!

On another note, and perhaps it has already been addressed here so I apologize if that is so, does anyone think that if Mike Binder's "The Upside of Anger" is a success (I've heard some good reviews by some critics) that just maybe, after all these years, John Gissing may see the light of day? I've enjoyed reading the posts and looking at the photos here so I'll certainly be popping back again.

I can´t remember who told me (Sue?) but I was very glad not to be in the front two rows because it was an interactive play if you know what I mean! I wonder if AR has seen this. Does anyone know?

Saw him in "The Alamo" and he fit the character so well, I had to do research on Davy Crockett as I was really interested in it (You know how it is Lucy!) Re where AR was sitting, Alfan, I followed the lead that someone mentioned (AFNH?) and combed through the "crowd" scenes at the end and you can see AR sitting with Rima on the table with Phil Jupitus on it (who he stood next to at the end of WKWYLL). I was going to do some caps tonight but forgot I put it on dvd-RAM and my machine does not like them so I'll re-do it tomorrow (or later today I should say!) and post them.

Thanks for the link, Emily, some lovely photos on that site.

Sue, and whoever passed the message on, thanks for the link to the JI pics, aww, he looks so sweet in those pics (I hadn't realised he was sitting so close to Helen Mirren). He always seems to be amazed that he's there, but always enjoys himself so much. I remember the quote from him, when cast as Lucius Malfoy, that he would have been happy just making the tea for AR, Maggie Smith, Richard Harris et al.

I noticed the quick turn and smile as AR came down the aisle, but hadn't realised someone had made a grab for him - naughty girl. Looks like a new website is in order - Goosing Alan Rickman.......!

Was Alan sitting there with them too,he looks like he came from around the same table. No wonder he looks like he had a good time,who wouldnt with KS and JM. I have to agree, i think they actually get along really well and enjoy each others company, dont think Alan would hug anyone he didnt care for.........and well,he was asked to present the award to him. Could of been anyone, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jason Mewes, Jason Lee, anyone but Alan but im so glad they did. And i tell you, i love the butt grab, i love his reaction. great stuff.

Thanks for supporting my "three-Alan-a-day" habit. RickiNicki - the announcer also reminded me a bit of Clive Owen...has he been given the nod for James Bond yet? Dee - I agree...I think AR has had some dental work done. Especially on his lower teeth. You don't see those crooked front two teeth anymore. Last night - very late, they were showing Quigley Down Under on cable. I hadn't watched it in a while so, of course, I stayed up way past my bedtime (must get in at least three Alan's a day). It was worth it though. I know this film has gotten a lot of jeers and bad reviews but I still kind of like it....and AR looks extremely hot with his moustache and his black boots. Tom Selleck isn't bad eye-candy either. There's also several funny lines in this film. Do you have a QDU clip in the film section, Claudia?...can't remember. Thanks so much again for the new downloads. You guys are the greatest!

I like it that much. (well, I would have preferred AR playing the brother -seeing his backside that much blush) I love this film, he is cut, he is fantastic, he is adorable. Talkative - but much to fast for me - I have to suggest. No subtitels. Normally English ones would do it (I'm much better in reading than hearing), but no English, no German ones. sigh Well - but just great -I will see and listen again and again as often as possible :o) Wanna just say - great.

Comments:	I hope I'm not repeating old news. Here's an excerpt from Empire magazine. It's a kind of minute-by-minute guide to the awards the other night: 7.25-7.45pm: Food is served. Empire, despite it being our party, is reduced to eating in the room where the food is being prepared by the caterers, and not in the main hall with the celebs. Bah humbug. However, this paves the way for the inarguable highlight of the evening when, halfway through a lovely salmon/rice combo, we look up to see Alan Rickman himself walk in and grab some food. Readers, let Empire confirm that there is nothing on this planet more fun than quoting Die Hard lines to Alan Rickman. Mind you, we were quoting them under our breath and only after we were fairly certain he couldn't hear. Still… 'you ask for miracles, Theo, I give you the F… B… I….', 'Shoot! The! Glass!' and our favourite 'Yippee-kay-yay, *********' all got good airings I thought it was interesting. My daughter and I had an argument last night. I say safety pins, she says fish!! Too bad they didn't describe his shirt in the above article.

They rarely go one issue without mentioning Hans Gruber or The Sheriff, and it's always complimentary. Maybe it's AR himself who is the stumbling block?? But then now he's presented one of their awards, he might think more favourably on them. I'm still with the fish!!

But it sounds like yours will be the one to catch someone's eye, Sue! I've come to the conclusion that our DreamBook gremlins are morning "people" and wreak most of their havoc between the hours of 8-10AM Eastern time. Still no solution though, sorry.

Let's deluge Empire with emails to get him for an interview, they seem to have been fairly Rickman-friendly in the past, can't do any harm. We maybe should mention TSFJG too!

We know he is rather reticent about doing interviews but he has " The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" coming out soon and is about to star with Sigouney Weaver in Marc Evan's "Snow Cake", and is down for "Perfume:The Story of a Murderer" with Dustin Hoffman and Ben Whishaw. So now's your chance to prove the power of Empire and if you do I shall personally renew my lapsed subscription from last year! Sue Locke"

Comments:	A million thanks for those clips from the Empire Awards! Don't you love the choice of music? And I also wonder what in the world KS was thinking when he dressed for the occasion. Perhaps it is another expression of his independent spirit. I agree that AR looks happy and relaxed and I think it is because he genuinely likes Kevin Smith and enjoys being in his company. I witnessed this first hand in NYC after one of the Private Lives performances. KS and his wife joined Alan and Rima after the play and I have to say that AR looked like he was having the time of his life.
