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? |

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!) |

Comments: | I've always liked that dressing room pic too, kathy. He looks so solemn in it. 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! |

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! |

Comments: | Elaine, I love your little robots--they're adorable.
I second the motion on thongs I recall some celebrity saying she hated them said she didn't want her b** flossed! 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! |

It really is quite interesting to see how quickly things spread over the internet, but I'll believe it when I see it!

You can even trace the first error (ie SnowChance) and watch it spread!! Blimey I reckon we could do a better job! |

Comments: | ****More about Kim Cattrall/Snow Cake****
Native returns The Sunday Telegraph; 3/20/2005; By TIM WALKER The Sunday Telegraph 03-20-2005 Native returns Byline: By TIM WALKER Section: News; Mandrake ALTHOUGH she has now established herself as a bona fide American star thanks to Sex and The City, the lovely Liverpool-born Kim Cattrall let it be known that she would love to make a British film. 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.

Not sure which Valmont paper you mean Lucy. There are a few lovely ones about. These two are by Brooke who used to run the excellent rickmanfan.com page( she can now be found on passionate_lies lj)
I did one a while back too:
I am sure there are some more out there too. |

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!!
Have a good one-Pam |

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! |

Comments: | I'm still scratching my head on the Cattrall/Cates/Woodgate connection. The birth year for Cattrall and Cates differ tremendously (no offense KC cause I was born only three years later). 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! |

Although I live in smack in the middle of "Elena Amos" country, I have very little knowledge of US/Cuban relations. But I do know that Bushie-boy has bigger fish he needs to be frying instead of concentrating on this hypocritical move. *jumping off soapbox now* |

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 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.

Comments: | Daydreamer, go to Google and search for Alan Rickman in News (not the usual search page). There is a little box with an envelope icon which says News Alerts (or something like that). Click it and it will take you to a box where you can set up alerts to youremail address. You need to put in Alan Rickman. Hope that helps |

Cause I have set up an alert on this site - www.google.com/alerts - already a week ago, but I didn't got the news about K.Cattrall today. Strange... But I have seen more sites offering google alerts, so maybe I'm using the wrong one. ? Or it could be my email box too. ? I have no idea. Could somebody help me with this?
Thank you! :) |

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!! |

Comments: | I was just going to ask if anyone had seen that Google alert (because we on this GB can think for ourselves!)I did not watch SitC because I cannot stand SJP. (Is it me? I always think she looks much older than she is trying to be. 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! |

Comments: | I about dropped my cup of tea when I read that news alert, Kimberly! First we had Jennifer Tilley, then Carrie Anne Moss, and now Kim Cattrall. 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. |

Unfortunately he has very strange tastes!!LOL He does like Sigourney Weaver though so we get to see Galaxy Quest and maybe we shall even see SnowCake too!!;) We managed Love Actually for Laura Linney and he doesn't mind Emma either! |

Maybe you didn't get "Sex in the City" in the U.K.? This series, with Sarah Jessica Parker, was a huge hit for HBO in the USA. Kim Cattrall played the sexually voracious "Samantha." Her scenes were always veeery graphic. |

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!! |

Sonoma, could you post a little more info on the Hitcherhiker's Guide run at the El Capitain? When will it be there? Will they have anything extra going on (like they sometimes do at the "El Cap"). Thanks and I hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend. Thanks again for all the wonderful pictures. You guys are the greatest! |

I know there are lots of him making strange faces. I wish I had made it to Bowness but it was a bit of a squeeze to fit in as I was off to a warm and sandy place for a few months at the time. You caan put that on my wish list when I get a time travelling machine, second to seeing PL, of course. |

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"! |

Comments: | Peekabooh – Like the pic, but can’t see it very well. It’s demanding a password for the larger size.
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! |

I always think he is about to shout "p*ss off" at the photographer. Love his taste in coffee though! Glad to hear that you have had an answer from DB Claudia. Let's hope they will sort it all out. 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! |

Since its Easter weekend, maybe we will hear from them on Monday.....if I don't find us a new home today! Sue, I can sympathize with you on the file names. Until recently I was relying solely on directory names but I've found that doesn't always help. All the pics are fabulous! YAY!!! Kaat! Lovely work! I like the cap of PL and the motorcycle but I can't believe an eBay seller is trying to sell a screen cap. No wait a minute....it is eBay so I suppose it isn't that hard to believe! A good review of CME, Natasxxx. I get so tickled watching Sinclair spit out fact after fact after fact. And then on the Gloria Hunniford interview he says in reference to the part being written for him "I don't know what that says about me." sonoma, I really can't wait for HHG2tG! As much as NOT a fan of sci-fi I am, I really am looking forward to at least 2 hours of constant laughter!
