Fi - Is the woman on the right with the short hair your mother?  Whoever she is, she is a dead-ringer for my next door neighbor.  She could be her twin!!  Great photo!  Thanks for sharing.

Karin - I meant to thank you also for sharing you photo of your Snape pillow with us.  It's adorable!

Fi, thanks so much for taking the time to share this photo with us!

Thanks for the pic Fi, it's great

Lovely photo, thanks Fi.

Fi,

What a fantastic photo of the three of you!  Thank you for sharing it!

Thanks for the welcome everyone.  I have managed to upload to the photobucket account so I'll attempt to post it here.  I'm a bit technologically challenged but here goes:

, it's great that you saw him I'm back from my 2-days exams far from home, it was horrible but it's over, fortunately

Do you think it could be a new version of the 1986 LLD, with Alan and Lindsay ? LOL

Fi - Congratulations....you've joined that exclusive club of those lucky few who have seen (and smelled) the man in person!  I'm so glad that you had a wonderful time and were so generous to share it with us.  Waiting on pins and needles for your pictures! 

Apologies if someone already posted this but just got this note from The Leaky Cauldron:

Actor Alan Rickman is due to appear on the Canadian talk show "The Hour" airing tonight on CBC at 11pm (EST). This appearance is most likely due in conjunction with the release of his new film "Perfume," however it is...

Wow, Fi.....Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! I have to admit I was surprised that there hadn't been any posts or pix regarding that evening. Just follow Sue's instructions, and your pix will be uploaded to Claudia's site on photobucket.

Again, thanks alot for sharing!

Thanks for the story, Fi!! What a great evening to have him so to yourself! Everyone always says he smells good. Damn, I just wonder what he wears. I swear, if I ever meet him I will probably just want to fall on to him face first and inhale. (snort!)

Hello Fi. Thanks for sharing your story. It is a lovely film isn't it?

We'd all love to see your photo. If you scroll back up the page just above the Snape pic to the right you can see Claudia's link to her shared Photobucket account. Just put the name and password in and you should be able to upload your photo to that account then just post the link or right click the photo>press copy>then paste back in here.

Hi Ladies,

I have lurked here for a few years and you have all been invaluable with info so here's some payback.  Thanks to your info, my kids and I drove up to Wawa during shooting and saw a wee bit of that so we were very keen to see the movie.  When I heard about Tuesday night's event, I phoned and sure enough there were still some tickets available so my mom and I went.  To our surprise, the movie was introduced by both the Canadian producer, whose name I forget, and by the man himself.  I was only 10ft or so away and quite beside myself.  Then he did about a 30min Q&A session after the movie.  I think my mom and I were the only fan types in attendance, not related to the autism society.  The movie was brilliant and apparently will be in wide release in Canada on Christmas Day.  AR's character is absolutely lovely!  We then had invitations to the private party at the Roots store, which was quite fancy with a free bar and snacks.  There were less than 100 people there I would say.  AR was drinking the fruity rum punch, as was I to get up the guts to approach him.  He was very gracious and lovely.  I finally got close enough to ask for a photos, saying I had a houseful of young HP fans (I kept my own obsession to myself) and my mom said she needed photographic proof for the grandkids but he said "They probably won't believe it anyway.  They'll say he doesn't have black hair."  It was a terrific night but not very well advertised I don't think as there were quite a few empty seats and no media that I could see what so ever.  He was wearing dark gray jeans (I think) a dark grey shirt, and a black velvet jacket, with the top button done up only, as per usual.  He looked very nice.  If anyone has any recommendations for a site to post the picture I have, I can try so you  can see him.  I was lucky enough to be right beside him for about 20 minutes waiting for a chance to approach, not wanting to interrupt the other conversations so I got to stand there listening to him talk, quite the hardship *g*.  He smelled pretty good too. ;-)

Hello ladies!

Look at this   http://comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=17715   page, quite interesting!

And this one

http://www.cjnews.com/viewarticle.asp?id=10706

Thank you for other information.

Good luck!

Yay, Emilia!  You are our lifesaver!

Just saw tonights "The Hour"; and my new best friend George Stroumbolopolous, said that Alan Rickman would be on the show tomorrow(Thursday). He said that his producers told him that since AR was in town that he absolutely must have him on the show.George said that AR was the ultimate movie villian from Die Hard, HP and Robin Hood.Snow Cake was also mentioned,so they will probably talk about this tomorrow, no mention of MNiRC. He also said that the CBC was becoming the "official"AR network because they will be showing several AR movies in the coming weeks.

   I'm going to go watch and see if he turns up on etalk! tonight, you never know...

A mention of Nobel Son, yet still no specifics.

Sue,

What kind of volume/quantity of video can the iPod hold?  Can I get the whole Rickman collection on there??  

O/T - Further to my requst for advice on getting videos onto my iPod, I have purchased a great program that will upload all types of files (eg Claudia's gems) and also complete dvds. I've just put Sense & Sensibility on the iPod and it's brilliant.

Here is the program if anyone is interested:

http://www.pqdvd.com/dvd-to-ipod-video-converter.html

From what I can gather from the CBC website, the show with AR should air tomorrow evening.

I just remembered, I know someone in Toronto!  *rushes off to ask them to tape this!*

My VCR is on official standby.

Oh and I got our Christmas emoties up now! 

Wasn't there any pictures from last night?    I've checked around on the sites and don't find any. 

sue, I thought your title was funny as h-e-double toothpicks!  LOL  You can always come up with stuff to keep us in stitches.  *snort*

Carolyn and CatsPlay, please keep us informed on the Canadian show.  Alfan, do you get this show and do you have any means to record it?  *I'm begging*

Nice interview with Ben Whishaw in Manchester Evening News

Just a huge HELLO from wonderful Munich -

Vera, congrats for finding a copy

sue, have you entered the compition? I think your suggestion is good, hihi

Peek, still so busy?

Maybe THIS explains Toronto trip too.

Great find, Carolyn!

Here is a Frequency finder that allows you to determine if you can access their broadcast in your area.  It doesn't look like it's accessible in the states, but I'm trying to figure out if it's on a radio frequency here.

Hopefully someone here will have access and can videotape this!

*begs*

So, it does look like Teh Man is spending some time in Canada.  The plot thickens.

Maybe some of you more creative Harry Potter fans would like to enter THIS competition in the Guardian??

How about Harry Potter and the Bottomless Money Pit??

Carolyn, thanks for the TV info. I know we can rely on one of our Canadian friends to get this on video for us?

URL: http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/tickets.php

According to the site, the George Stroumboulopoulos show, "The Hour", (which is broadcast in Canada at 11PM, Sundays to Thursdays) will be taping one of its shows on Thursday, November 30 at the CBC Broadcasting Centre in Toronto from 4:30-6PM before a live audience. According to the site, tix are sold out, but occasionally they do have some tix left right before the show. The guest that day is........none other than Mr. Rickman himself.

I don't know the date the show will be aired, though and on the site, they do have video clips from prior shows so maybe this one, as well, will be on their site.

Thank you ALFAN and YULIA!

I recognized his clothes, and the hair, but i have never seen the pic. And is veeery hard to find an old Alan pic i haven't; when i "found him out"... oh boy, i searched the four corners of the Internet!!

Kisses girls! (hoping Ontario photos...)

Don't forget that tonight Alan is in Ontario for a special charity showing of "Snow Cake". Keep eyes peeled for pix!!

I know that the Toronto Canadian Stage Co. is in early negotiations to bring MNIRC to their stage for the 2007-2008 season. He might be there as well.

The only comment I have now is - This site is GREAT!!!

Thanks for the info, Hikity. I got hold of a copy, which should reach me in the next few days.

Hello ladies!

Carolyn, thanx, yeah, the pics are pretty.

Jessica, as far as I know, this is from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Premiere.

Good luck

Gorgeous huge "Snow Cake" screen caps at:

http://trekkiegrrrl.livejournal.com/163030.html

Ah, the famous  New York POA Premiere after party dacnin picture. Yes, the man shakes the bootie.

I believe it is from the  Premiere of POA. I could be wrong though.

GIRLS! I Think I might have lost something these days...

WHAT'S THAT??

http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/ARDLHGB2/?action=view&current=party04AlanDance.gif

Vera, yes, it's from November - I am sorry but I don't have a scanner here at home, but hubby does so in the office. So, if you folks are interested (it's in German of course) - although there is absolutely nothing new in it - I am going to let it scanned by said dream-man next week

Hi everyone, Karin from Switzerland asked me to post these pictures for her.

This was painted this year by a German woman called Dana Peter. The original was a photo that was taken back in May this year during the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.

Thanks, Hikity. Sounds good, but I assume it's the November issue, isn't it? It's no longer sold.

Camerata, you're a star! I've now got Detective Friedman and Hans on the iPod.

Sadly the link to In Demand is "Not Found" but there is a link to a program that is supposed to convert all files to iPod. I'm just downloading a free trial now and if it works I shall buy it and give the link here!

sue, sorry, can't help you with i-pod - I still have no clue what this is but Tanja would like to have one for x-mas - at least I am going to learn something about it then... "Madame" is an haute-couture magazine which I got from a friend, hihi, but you are somewhat right.

Vera, 3 pages, 2 pics - those we all know of course

Helps if I put the email on

O/T - Just wondered if anyone can help with some iPod advice?

I've just got a new video iPod which is lovely and I have downloaded U2 and the Boss music vids so I can drool wherever I am LOL .

However, it says you can download your own movies and film trailers etc so I thought it'd be nice to get a bit of Alan on there (well it would be rude not to really)

I was highly delightrd to see tha both In Demand and the  Perfume trailer opened up in my iTunes library so I hurried to get them onto the iPod but they won't go on!!

I checked with Apple FAQ and it told you you needed QuicktimePro which costs about £20. Whilst I am happy to pay this I looked at the feedback about the product and it was full of moans that it didn't allow you to get stuff onto the iPod.

So was wondering if anybody has a video iPod and if they do, what types of files they can get to load???

Sorry to be off-topic (but see, it is sort of Alan related!!)

Pleas email me if you like to save filling up the Board if the reply is complicated!!

Hikity, does the article include nice photos? I suppose I'll have to drop by at the newsagent tomorrow to have a look at it at least.

Here's a "Perfume" article.  No Alan Rickman photos... but a good article.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/26/movies/26carr.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

Hikity

What's "Madame", Hikity? Sounds a bit racy to me!!

BTW, LADIES, there is a really wonderful article about our Man in "Madame" - no new info for us insiders - but nevertheless an hommage to him

Right, NewJan, they never meet (in the film, but they did in Munich, where they filmed the in-door perfume shop scenes)

Carolyn, lol, imagine how many wonderful perfumes you could buy for $ 700...I could fly over to NYC, buy a perfume and fly back, hihi

Dustin Hoffman is a guest on the Parkinson show tonight.  No doubt to promote Perfume.  I'll let you know if any clips of AR are shown, but I don't think Hoffman's character ever comes in contact with AR's does he?

Now this is what I call a marketing campaign! From:

http://www.perfume.thierrymugler.com/us/

"The Limited Edition Thierry Mugler "Perfume" collection Coffret presents the 15 essences that capture and bring to life key moments and atmospheres from the book and film. The retail price is $700US"

It contains 15 scents, 14 of them tied to key portions of the book that are also highlighted in the film.

LOL...anyone with an extra $700 to spend?

EXCELLENT follow-up, CatsPlay!  Thank You.

And thank you to Everyone submitting photos, news, sightings, comments, etc.  I don't get to visit very often (should have some "spare time" after the First of the Year) but I always find something interesting here!

Camerata.

Yes! That's the photo, except the one I have is a little larger and is in reverse.  I thought is was really funny, and of course no disrespect intended! 

Maryland

Hi Everyone:

I'm glad I found this haven!  It would be very intereting indeed to see if Alan returns to NYC from Ontario, but considering that Ontario is not too far from NYC, he might return.  I was hoping to attend the last show of MNiRC, so this would definately put a monkey wrench into my plans. 

~Ruthie

Hi Marlene

Great find!  I dug a little more and found the website for the charity organization.  Here are the details of the screening that Alan will attend, which will be on November 28 in Ontario

Hello Everyone... Just a short note before work to show you this link:

http://www.playbackmag.com/articles/magazine/20061127/boxoffice.html

It has a mention about Snow Cake, and of Alan Rickman being slotted for an appearance in Ontario, Canada in December.

, Camerata....hmm, well, there is something of "his" Snape perhaps, but I don't hope any allusions are meant

: great news for your exam About the Oscar Wilde pic, it isn't this one ?

Thanks Chalebh, yeap, there might be some more pupils, BUT it is NOT hell, I am sure of this...

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody in the States!!

And Maryland, that sounds fantastic. Thanks for telling us!Please post your Oscar Wilde pic soon

 

Sorry, Hikity: I think you'll have more than one..

Hikity: Congratulations! Now you're prepared to joint the hell of the German school system. Your pupil will be envied.

 Now I have a big favour. To all of you who live in Britain.

Does someone of you read the Tattler magazine or is able to grab the old issue of the Tattler magazine from October 2006?

There must be an article and list about power blondes (no Alan is not in it) . Could you scan this article and mail it to me?

I learned about the article just yesterday, so I went to the kiosk at my central station, but the had changed the issue they sell right the day before.

And to make this post not completely off topic. Here is a wallpaper by Lucilla. The words she used are the description of the term "dazlious" from Snow Cake.

LG Chalebh

Ladies, I've finished my exam - thanks a lot for all those how have crossed fingers - thud - althought I can't believe it but the last exam - English - was great! Al hamdulliah.

Nightynight

Maryland, that was too cool!!! How wonderful that you got that kind of connection. Hey... I find that good food does wonders in winning people over.

Our Thanksgiving was early too. So today was just sort of a "day off" around here. We started putting up some Christmas decorations. But we are sure not the first in the neighborhood!

Happy Thanksgiving to all !!

I wish all our American friends a very lovely

THANKSGIVING! It has been a while since I was last in the States celebrating Thanksgiving; it has been a very beautiful day filled with delicious food! I like turkey very much!

Happy Thanksgiving to all - I am sure AR is having a delicous Thanksgiving dinner, too!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!  However, Christmas came early to my house yesterday!  I received in the mail the enlargements of my photos taken with AR and myself and he and Kathy. I mailed them to the Minette Lane Theatre and asked  if he would autograph them! They came back to me each with a lovely autograph and "Best Wishes"!  Oh yes, I should mention that when I mailed the photographs they were accompanied by four dozen "Lovely Cakes", tied up with orange ribbons and silk fall leaves, and a very funny Thanksgiving card, referencing the English coming over on the ship Mayflower!  I called the theatre to ask if they received the package and was told " Oh yes! They remember you! They were surprised and delighted!" That really made my day! Of course I wrote that the cookie bars were for "the cast and crew at the Minetta Theatre" so everyone would feel included. They must have autographed the photos and sent them right back, as it was only a few days later that I got them. I had mailed a self addressed stamped photo mailer to use. I can't wait to show the photos to friends. Kathy doesn't know I did any of this so she'll get a surprise at Christmas time!

Happy Thanksgiving,

Maryland

PS I also sent two funny postcards. One shows a room full of ladies from around 1900 which I labeled, " A meeting of your Virginia Beach Fan Club" and another is a photo of Oscar Wilde, taken in 1882, and looking for all the world like Snape wearing a hat! On the back, I wrote, " This photo reminds me of some movie character, but I just can't remember who!" I hope AR enjoyed my little teasing, as I know Snape is a bit off-limits! Hey, I didn't use the "S" name!  If you don't know about the very obvious parallels between the appearance of Snape to some of Oscar Wilde's photos, I recommend checking him out! I have to wonder if it isn't some kind of inside joke. The similarities are many!  If I can get to a scanner I'll post the funny cards and postcards. It may take a while!  When I said "they" autographed, I meant AR and Megan Dodds as well!

SANTA FE FILM FESTIVAL information here:

http://www.santafefilmfestival.com/films.php

Perfume Story of a Murderer will be the Festival's opening film.

Sorry, here's my e-mail address.

A HUGE  to everyone for the wonderful piccies, caps and for the trailer, of course! Thank you!

And now a little OT.  Vicki, could you please send me the apple&pumpkin pie recipe? I'm crazy for pumpkin this year! Thank you!

Just wanted to wish all you chaps over there in the States a very Happy Thanksgiving...How I wish I could sit and eat a nice huge roast dinner with all the trimmings,oh well,guess Christmas is not that far off

Have some nice turkey for me ok...

I wonder if Alan has had an invite to go have dinner with someone....well,he can always come home and have a good home cooked meal anytime he feels the need.....

Vicki, can you send your Canadian buddy a piece of that pumpkin pie,,,,,,,,,,hee hee. I will send you some maple fudge. ( remember you said you never had it before, no worries as it is  low calorie and fat free)

I'm loving all the great new photos, trailers and behind the scenes peeks for OotP.  Snape looks HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

Well, I'm off to bed.....have to get up early tomorrow and bake an apple and a pumpkin pie.  To all my fellow countrymen, a

  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

And to all of you a very special wish for a happy, Alan-y day!

went to see the play yesterday evening, so I suppose that she attended to the talkbacks and that she took some pics

Coming out of lurkdom to ask:  Did anyone attend the MNIRC talkback yesterday in NYC? 

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I love Alan rickman! I especially love him as Snape! Hottness!!!!!! This guy invented the word hot! I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glee!

http://www.theepochtimes.com/news/6-11-21/48426.html

Actor Alan Rickman, who was twice nominated for Broadway's coveted Tony Award, and whose first major film role was in "Die Hard" (1988), recently attended the Make A Wish annual gala at Broadway's Hudson Theatre, where he told The Epoch Times that "I'm figuring out whether I can come back to New York and do a play... I'm hoping to be able to do a play."

Tis the man,you can just tell.....

Well,I can .......

Not quite ready yet for the straight jacket.....

Maybe I am crazy.  That does look like his hand. 

How pathetic are we that we can recognize Alan Rickman's hand from a blurry photo?

Call me crazy, but does anyone else think this doesn't look like Alan?  Maybe a stand in?

The one thing  I enjoy the most about working 12 hour shifts is that you come home to such wonderful Alan bits. Thanks to those who posted both the HP trailer and the HP behind the scenes. It was great.

Oh and Happy Birthday Snokat........

It's odd how, depending on what site you go to, there are just little bits and snippets that are different in each one.

There's also a "sort-of" behind-the scenes of OOTP at:

http://www.eonline.com/movies

After watching all of the clips from various sources, I can't imagine the thrill Evanna Lynch has, since she is such a huge HP fan and had even written to JK in the past! That's the stuff dreams are made of!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SNOKAT !!!

I've noticed something. On some caps, Sev has his cloak but not on some others, and Potter has different clothes too, so maybe that we'll have several occlumency scenes !

http://www.yousendit.com/download/1Sd%2BemK%2Bp3k%3D

Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes. I don't know when I've had so many international greetings before!! Seeing the OotP HBO trailer was a pretty good birthday treat.

Yes, a scorpio, but a cusp scorpio. So I'm a bit more mellow.

Hurrying before I lose the connection: Cats, the spots ended on Nov.19! They don't think another package will be purchased, but you never know, perhaps considering the extension, they might!

Chris,

From the little I could see, it looked like the Leaky might be better quality, and yes, you could right click to download it.

Hello! Haven't been posting here for ages, because of being too engaged. For instance today we had the first day of the International conference and it was pleasant when students from different countries began to enumerate all the movies they knew with Alan Rickman when I asked them whether they knew him. It was funny!

SnoKat, Happy Birthday!!!!!! Wish you only the best!

And thanx to everyone who has been posting here such cute stuff!

and just the links I haven'y seen here

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/20112006/3/canada-toronto-s-canstage-rachel-corrie-play.html

Good luck

I wish you a

dear SnoKat

Leaky keeps crashing my browser.  Can anyone possibly upload the HBO on Demand clip to Yousendit?

thankx!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!

Haaaaappyyyyyy Biiiiiiiiiiiirthdaaaaaaayyyyyyyy

deeeeeeeaaaaaaaaar   SnoKat

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaappyyyyyyyyyy

Biiiiiiiiiiiirthdaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy toooooooooooo

yooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!

Cheers from Switzerland 

OMFG!!!! Leaky Cauldron has the HBO ON Demand video clip for download!!!!

You're getting the schedule??  Of when specifically it will play?  WOOT!

I am still living an internet/cable connection nightmare, so I'll make this fast!  Cats, the spot won't be played today at all, so you can relax. I'm getting the new schedule after 3:30PM today!

Thanks, Carolyn.  I've setup a hotkey so that I can record within seconds *if* I happen to be sitting here and *if* I realize that it's the commercial.  Do you know how it starts -- music -- Rickman talking??

Also, I take back what I said earlier about TIVOing the HBO thing.  I was confused, it was something else Potter related (making of GOF) that was on this morning.  I have satellite and thus do not have HBO on Demand, where the four minute OOTP piece is playing. 

Sorry!

The MNIRC commercials on QXR are played occasionally throughout the day (and not everyday) at random intervals, depending upon when they break for commercials and psa's (public service announcements). The placement of the spots depends on what time slots were purchased (i.e., overnight is cheaper than drive time).

Happy Birthday Snokat!

   

Ah yes, a fellow Scorpio!

  
We're in our prime babe!

Hope you have a good one!

I'd grant you your wish if I could,

but it also would've been my birthday

wish a couple of days ago! LOL

Carolyn--Thanks, Love-Bug! I appreciate it. Kinda having a crappy day. So far 38 sucks rocks!! Some Happy-Alan-Wishes would help. But so would Happy-Alan-Sex! However, I'm not getting my hopes up!!!

That voice was made for midnight

God, yes!

Thanks sue -- if we can find out a specific time I can record it for us.....

Cam - thanks for the caps from that HBO video.  I am TIVOing it this morning and hope to be able to grab them as caps in higher res, and will share.

Also, phistlemon pointed out that there is a fantastic hi res version of the OOTP trailer over at Yahoo Movies.  I am uploading it now to YouSendit (71MB) and also have made 1900x800 screencaps of the Snape parts of it.

At my LJ.

According to Anne on Suzanne's GB:

I can get the station online so I'll have a listen.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SNOKAT!!

I HOPE YOU HAVE A TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY BIRTHDAY AND THAT ALL YOUR "ALAN RICKMAN" DREAMS COME TRUE!

Thanks for the great screencaps!! They're boosting the anticipation...

Seems like Snape-Pics are a whole lot more in demand than "normal" photos, regarding the overwhelming response to the pictures I posted...  So I'm sorry if I annoyed you with them.

*THUD*Those pics of Alan as Snape are to just die for,my goodness that man is so,whats the word.......thudalicious...

Cant wait for this film now,what with the book and then film next year is going to be on hellva year for us HP fans and of ocourse Alan fans.....

Personally,cant wait for the films for more Severus,I cant belive that the filmmakers have not yet sussed that most adults,if I am brave enough to say this,only go to see the film for Snape....I do love the books and the films,but Alans Snape sure as hell makes it all worthwhile...

Nice screencaps as well.....the last one looks like he is about to do a jig for Harry ......Bless Him....

Alans Snape Rocks The World

Thanks for the pics everyone, especially CatsPlay's one.  Oohh, yummy, yummy, yummy.

Wonder what the words are above the door in Snape's office?

There HAS to be more Snape in this next film.  The filmmakers HAVE to have realised this story is now a three-horse-race with Harry, Voldie and Snape.  A critic once said 'If you've got Alan Rickman in your cast, by golly you use him".  Let's hope they do.

PS - You may keep AR for Thanksgiving, but please may we have him back for Christmas?

Et voila

*tee hee* Why is Snape soooo blue? How can we cheer him up? 

I'm serious yall...I need some suggestions on a prize(s) for the card contest.  My little pea-brain is worn out from all the thinking! 

Thank you CatsPlay and Vera!  It never hurts to have as many versions as possible available because some people have problems with one or the other.  Thanks to you both!

Camerata!  Thanks for the screen caps.   Ohhhh I hope there is a lot of Snape in this one! 

Thanks to Cam and Vera. 

I just went with the MOV because it was of a higher quality than the WMV - crisper.

Not that I doubt Catsplay's ability to download the WMV version, but I have already downloaded it. For people who like me prefer WMV:

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=FB051CFA7CCBB87E

Here is a download of the high res (highest currently available) Quicktime version.  The Quicktime seems to be higher quality than the WMV.  If someone wants the WMV let me know.

I will screencap it all later and post on my LJ.  Must go cook supper now.

SNAAAAAPPPPPEE!!!!

http://download.yousendit.com/3C3019C4489D3244

Found this on communitywebshots.com: Alan in rehearsal with Chris Columbus (quality isn't good, though):

Camerata - You said: I've made 2 caps (the ones with the wand) but I don't know if you want that I put them here coz it's not yet "official" ?

I was just wondering where they were. I cant find them! I'm probably just been blonde here (no offense to blonde people, I'm blonde myself) but I cant see the caps and I just love the way he thrusts his wand out

Thanx in advance

Well...I'm taking it to mean that there's a possibility that the hot tub scene might make a DVD cut as a deleted scene!  Let's keep hoping!

Ohhh thanks for the image, INTJ!  I would love to see that scene!

Nothing much!! Just means the Board of Censors have passed it uncut for video/dvd release. You know me, gotta to give all the news that's fit to print!!!

Yippeeeeeee!!! sue! 

  Wait a minute...what does that mean? 

Good day everyone!    Its cold here but good nonetheless (considering its Monday!  *snort*).

Emerys, yes I am working on a Holiday card contest.  The trouble I'm having is coming up with a prize(s).  Last year we gave away a copy of "Love Actually" which was a holiday film so I am at a loss this year.  Anyone have any suggestions? 

As usual, I lurv all the photos! There's nothing like coming here and seeing his face! 

To Vicki and NicketyNick!  Sorry I'm so behind with my friends.  I should be banished to the dungeon with Snape as my keeper!  *tee hee*

BBFC have just passed Snowcake as a video (15) with no cuts from the film. Details HERE

ALAN TRIVIA  

It's Sunday morning and Alan Rickman, the sexiest man ever to set foot on this planet, opens the door and steps out of his secret hideaway:  

But what is THIS? Something attracts his attention...

Did he miss the ice cream van? Sudden eclipse of the highly erotic looks... "EY!! Wait for me!! Two scoops of chocolate, one cherry, one vanilla, one hazelnut, and four organic banana..."

But too late... Disappointment is written all over his face.
Bloody #%&?#§ ...

Anybody got any other idea what spoiled his day here?? *lol*
I love this series

Wow, that's some interesting news about the Talkback this tuesday. I checked the ticket homepage and they got tickets left for row C lefthand and middle. I even found some flight tickets from my location (Dresden) to NY for only 620 Euro. Am I just pathetic or why do I consider taking this flight? Maybe it's because of the dream I had last night - there was a talkback with him in my dream. Wired! Thank's anymay.

Good grief, I would immediately fly over to attend this talk, Catsplay, had I not my last exam day on Thursday. Thanks for the link - this is - for me - by far the most interesting panel - to hear Safieh and Levy, wow.

MNiRC Talkback schedule updated for this week

rickimam, alfan, thanks!! You're very helpful.

Now another thing,

I wonder if Mr. Rickman will have a NYC thanksgiving this year...

sue -- *SNORT*

It is now my mission in life to locate the full size of the hot tub photo. 

*bows down to INTJ for finding it*

Chris, Jason Isaacs could fit the bill too, I've read that he is rather fond of props.

Hi guys,

Hey that scene was not in the film,gutted,got my copy already ordered,and Im jumping through hoops to see it again this coming friday.....yeeeepppeeeee..

Thanks for the welcome as well,really happy to be here and love this site sooooo much....

Small favour,dont suppose that there is a chance of that pic being blown up for a big pic???Love seeing any pic of Alan kissing all big and blown nup.....Cheers...

See ya around soon....

Will let you know how Friday went,Angela Pell is going to be there too.....

Merci Emerys

INTJ : That's great I hope that there will be all the deleted scenes and bonus on the French DVD, if not, I'll buy the English one

sue - My sentiments exactly.   This is where I found the pic.

Emerys - Great job!

just to appreciate fully(thanks INTJ for the pic)

ok ok I didn't bother to remove all the marks but when the more important is done then it's done !! lol

Claudia, about the christmas card contest, is there one this year ??

Umm....... aren't you supposed to get into the hot tub!??

Thanks INTJ! Where did you find the picture? I thought there would probably be a "making of"/"director's commentary" with the dvd as Marc Evans strickes me as the sort of guy who likes to explain things etc. I might just have to pre-order that one now!!

I don't like the Harry Potter series, but seeing as I'm always on the lookout for anything AR-related.... Here's a minor consolation for those who feel that Snapey seemed a little too "nice" or OOC. This person apparently saw some raw footage and mentioned AR:

"Alan Rickman looks fantastic in it, though. One of the scenes with him has him teaching Harry how to read minds (I'm not sure) and Harry can't do it and Snap goes apesh*t on him. Harry goes apesh*t right back, too. It was crazy."

From here: http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/9596234.html?view=1064320842#t1064320842

A question... sorry to bother you guys.. Ehm.. that song in Snow Cake where Alex finished making love with Maggie.. (which is sweet2 scene IMHO) There's this sweet song in the background... What song is that? It's been bugging me since...

Thanks Maryland.  Reply for you on your board.

EVERYONE - go get the recipe for Maryland's Lovely Cakes that she baked especially for Mr. Rickman (and he loved them).  I baked them for Halloween and they are mouthwateringly delicious. Here's the address:

mnoga.livejournal.com.

@ snow kid, I understand "It would last two seconds and he invades your mind (not moan).

Hello Ladies!

Thank you all so much for all your recent posts, updates and lovely photos of AR! He has been such a busy bee lately that I can hardly keep up checking up all these recent posts and reports!

I love this site therefore once again a BIG THANK YOU to all to keep it running!

Greetings from Switzerland!

thanks Lex

 I believe he says " you wont last two seconds if he invades your mind". But i think there is also "we bit of editing" ( anyone remember that quote from an Alan movie?) from that trailer.

Hi all, thanks for sharing the HP trailer. Could anyone be so kind to tell me what has been said at the beginning of it, I hear sth like "You will not last two seconds and you .... you moan", but miss several words. Please help me!!

New Jan,

I have a reply for you at mnoga.livejournal.com.

You should share your baking results with everyone!

Ladies, the recipe for the "Lovely Cakes" is still available at my livejournal!  They're great for the holidays!

Maryland

I could have sworn I noticed that Christopher Reeves thing on WENN the other day but now I go back to look for it I can't find it!!!

Another trailer quite good

I can't help Lex

newscom.com has new pics and says the source is splashnews but I can't find them.Anyone saved them?

Camerata, you're welcome, thank you and all for the new photos and links

INTJ & Laura : thanks !!!!!!!!!!!

Here are a couple of others I've had from McMullen's site. They're from the '02 CFDA Awards Ceremony in NYC at the NY Public Library:

you're welcome.I hope more sites will add photos

Beautiful pic, Laura, thank you! 

Thank you, ladies, you're most welcome. : )

Caroyln (and Camerata) many thanks for all the pics and links you've been sharing. Here's the larger version of the LFI photo you posted yesterday:

Thanks INTJ!

, you rock !

INTJ

 you're always the best

Thanks, INTJ! Great job!

INTJ, thank you so much for downloading the teaser trailer.

Camerata - WOW,  thank you!! 

I've just snagged the teaser trailer (high res) and uploaded it to yousendit:

QuickTimeMovie file, 2MB: http://www.yousendit.com/download/cj90XoA64oA%3D

wmv file, 1.7MB: http://www.yousendit.com/download/cj90XpNQwLg%3D

OMG Thanks Anna !!!!!!!!!!!

I'm happy to have seen it but at the same time, I'm afraid that we won't have a lot of scenes with him (as always)
They should make a spin-off with Sev ! LOL

Fantastic that our Snapey is in the trailer.  All thanks to HBP I think - the film people have now realised what all of us here already knew - Snape is a main player.  More of him in the films. Yaaaaaay!

Have to say though, I don't like the way Snape says 'Then prove it'.  It's not nasty enough, not spitty enough.  It's almost how Dumbledore or Lupin might say it to fire Harry up.  I would expect Snape's voice and expression to be more waspish.  (Bit like me on PMT day.)  Perhaps it's different in context.

Wonderful to see the trailer. Thanks for the link.

Anna - thank you for sharing!!

A pirate caught the HP trailer on video camera. Not much more Snapey than the ABC clip. x.x

Here it is on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG45n5DOFXc&eurl=

Hey girls, I just got back from seeing happy feet. And I saw the order of the phoneix trailer!! You actually see Snape twice I think. And you can hear his voice!!! Can't wait for it to come out. I couldn't really hear what they where saying because everybody was cheering when the trailer came out lol.

Ohhhh Swooooooonnnn!!!! Beloved Snapey and Darling Dan. Siighhhh. I want more!! And I can't wait! I can't even wait for all the media hooplah with interviews and articles galore!

OMG!!!!! Thanks Camerata!!!! I can't wait to see the whole trailer!!! OMG!!! The occlumency scenes should be absolutely amazing!!!!!

Oh, Thank YOU, Camerata!!!!  Only ten seconds but it's got Snape-y in it!!  However did you find it if they're not supposed to be releasing it until Monday????

Enjoy

According to www.comingsoon.net, the OOTP trailer will be shown on line at 3PM EST, Monday, November 20 at:

www.HappyFeetmovie.com

Great new stills from The Order of the Phoenix.  None of our dear Potions Master, however.  Link posted over on the HP Spoilers board.  Enjoy!

Andi, thanks for the info. I will look for the right song. Sorry about that

Hikity, you are welcome

Hugs.
Claudia, Germany

Merci Caro

Before my computer connection dies again (from LFI):

Merci beaucoup, Camerata!

Et voila Caro

There are a couple of new photos of Alan at broadway.com from the "SLS" opening night. I can't grab them because I am having such internet connection problems!!!!

"Frankly, a spectral Alan Rickman still beats out a vast

percentage of mere mortals most days of the week."

Amen to that!  Excellent find, sue.   

@sue wonderful sentences that discribe his magnificence perfectly.

Now I'm in the state of still adoration.

Sue! That was a fabulous write up! Whoever did it MUST appreciate Alan as much as we do because they NAILED his appeal right on the head!! Perfectly worded. Was there a picture included with this article?? And YES....dead, good guy, bad guy, 60 years old...none of it matters because he is deliriously sexy no matter what.

Completely forgot to say A HUGE THANK YOU to Claudia from good old Germanys: I downloaded that rar-file and alas - music is coming from my PC - WONDERFUL

and another THANK YOU to Claudia, our fantastic webmistress for the amazon-link

sue, I cannot but fully support this article

SALON have named their Sexiest Man Living List:

Who: Alan Rickman
Age: 60
Know him as: Actor

Maybe it's the voice, that low British hum so intimate you find yourself leaning forward when you hear it -- which might be the point. Maybe it's the profile -- unmistakably distinctive and defiantly not hewn from the pretty-boy block. Maybe it's the way he can play good guys and bad guys, and guys whose allegiances you can't quite determine, with equal gusto. Or maybe there's just something about the man that's smart and complicated and tender and a little dangerous that makes your mind start wandering into filthy corners while you're sitting there, innocently trying to watch a "Harry Potter" movie with your kids or something. Whatever it is, Alan Rickman's got it. And at age 60, he seems to have no intention of letting it go anytime soon.

While the classically trained London stage actor gained his first big breakthroughs playing heavies in "Die Hard" and "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," it's his performance in 1991's "Truly, Madly, Deeply" that guaranteed Rickman's seemingly bottomless supply of slavish admirers. As Jamie, his ghostly cello player is so appealing, so utterly romantic and so inconveniently dead, you can understand why his girlfriend is reluctant to let him fully shuffle off the mortal coil. Frankly, a spectral Alan Rickman still beats out a vast percentage of mere mortals most days of the week.

In ensuing years, he's buttoned up in Jane Austen and been a reluctant space hero in a Tim Allen comedy. But whether he's playing a businessman in the throes of marital temptation in "Love, Actually" or a fiery Éamon de Valera in "Michael Collins," Rickman may be the only actor to make a certain world-weary sadness ridiculously hot. It's a soulfulness that hints of deep fires below, a reserve that smolders like crazy, and damn if it doesn't keep getting sexier with every passing year.

Nice appreciation Bruce Springstten I can relate to as well!! 

Thanks to those who named the song.

Claudia, Germany - The Feist song you have uploaded as "Let It Die" is actually "Mushaboom" from the album "Let It Die"...just to let you know.

: Thanks I have no hope for it but I'll do my best lol

Camerata - I love Streetcar too.  Saw it in London - Glen Close played Blanche and Iain Glen (wow!) played Stanley.  Bawled my eyes out at the end, as usual.

Isn't The Playhouse where Past Times was going to have been?  Perhaps that's why AR went.  Apart from the fact that TW happens to be brilliant, and as we know, our man has impeccable taste.

Claudia: Just    

Chalebh

If anyone is interested, there's a small snippet of the OOTP trailer at www.hpana.com

You're right, Camerata! I forgot she was in that movie!

BTW, good luck on your exams!!

: Thanks for the wishes

: Perhaps that he went to see the play because there is Carla Gugino in it, who also played in Judas kiss, so maybe they're friends I dunno, or for the play itself, which is a classic of Tennesse Williams (I LOVE "A Streetcar named desire")

Very interesting report on the talkback session of MNIRC from Nov.14. This is from someone who was there (I got the general impression that this person was definitely pro-Israel).

www.keshertalk.com/archives/2006/11/corrietalkback.php

The reviews for "SLS" have definitely been less than kind! A shame, really, because Gale Harold is one definite impressive male! His acting, however, is definitely erratic. The only time it's been extremely impressive was on Queer As Folk, here in the US.

Interesting that Alan should go to that opening...

Oooh Err missus! What have I done???

Playbill

Report of Suddenly Last Summer Opening Night and one photo of AR on PLAYBILL

Yes Henry Normal is Angela pell's hubby. She gave me his address and said it was her husband at the Bafta screening of Snow Cake in Sept. He has his own film company which came in very handy when getting Snow Cake onto screen. He looks old enough to be her father, but a nice guy.

If anyone in the US has "HBO On Demand", the OOTP trailer is going to be shown beginning Nov.20!

Congrats, Frieda!  I can't wait to get a copy of it!!! 

Ali-Pat sent me great some news!  Here's what she wrote:

The Charlie Rose interview is available on Amazon on DVD!  I don't know when this came about, but suddenly it popped up on my Recommendations list.  Since the interview was broadcast twice, you can get it in two ways:

Thanks Ali-Pat!!!! 

Welcome aboard Lils!!!  You'll have to let us know what you think of Snow Cake after you see it.

sue, got your email!    Also, I found a neat little program that will convert iTune and other service downloads for you really easy.  There is a free trial but it only cost me $14.90.  Its called Soundtaxi and it sure saves me a lot of time when trying to share music.  One other thing, I think Henry Normal is Angela Pell's husband but I'm not certain.  AP's husband posted on IMDb a while back and it seems that he either posted his first name or maybe his screen name had some form of Henry in it.  I just don't have the time to go over and check. 

Meeressternchen, thanks to sue's and Camerata's new piccies, it looks like Our Guy is still here in the US!   I hope whomever is trying to "sniff you out" is doing it so for positive purposes!  If I can help, let me know. 

Hikity!  I hope my belated well wishes on your exam aren't to late!  I know you did an ace job, girl! 

Good luck to Camerata for next week's exams! 

While we're wishing good luck for exams....we all need to think about Sabine, GA too.  School is keeping her REALLY busy but she's loving every minute of it!

Peekabooh   Thanks for your kind words!

Claudia, Germany!!! Thank you for the unofficial Snow Cake soundtrack!!!  I love the music! 

Barbara!  Great news on the Snow Cake screening while your in London!  You'll have to let us know what you think too! 

rosi, thanks so much for the new German article and the translation!  You are a star, Dear!

NicketyNick, GA its my uneducated guess that Snow Cake will be screened in the Atlanta area.  I really can't imagine my rinky dinky town having it either.  If it does come here, I'll be one really "happy camper"!  LOL 

SnoKat, I hope the new Potter trailer will be online soon.  For some reason I thought trailers usually debut online before the cinemas but maybe its my jumbled brain.  LOL 

Oh THE POSTER!!!!

Thanks Camerata

????

Thanks Claudia for the CD and Sue for the 2 pics

There, there. Uncle Alan is too smart even to suggest such a thing.

Sorry, I didn't get it, what about "San..." that you were saying??

NICE PICS!

First Order of the Phoenix poster is out:

(Or is it The English Patient?)

Thanks Laura! Here they are:

Taken at Opening night of Suddenly Last Summer November 15, 2006 - Roundabout Theatre Company's Laura Pels Theatre
New York City

I am in the process of uploading the whole Snow Cake Soundtrack in seperate files. Once I am done, I will post the announcement and the links here.

Cheers.

Claudia, Germany

Susan, I didn't send the Broken Social Scene song that was Claudia. Although I have it on my pc, I bought it from iTunes and you can't send iTune files unless you burn it to cd first then re-upload it on to the pc as an ordinary file. I can do that but it's a bit of a palaver if Claudia already has it available.

Funny, I thought more like the Mafia but same difference !

SUE

Thanks for the lovely snow Cake music, only problem is I downloaded it and they all seem ok accept for the song BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE where it says the file is corrupt!  Can you send me that song to complete the set!

Well, thanks Alan, are you trying to tell me there's no such thing as San.........

There, there. Uncle Alan is too smart even to suggest such a thing.  He just means Santa goes under an assumed name sometimes.  A bit like the royal family.

Strange to read AR mentioning Santa in the same breath as Snape, though!!!

Foreign sites can have that one AR pic you never saw. Look for the site's  photo gallery. 

Claudia-

Being that we both live in Georgia,

I have a question:

I can pretty much predict that Snowcake

won't be coming to my "one-horse" town,

do you know of any theatres that would be

most likely? I'm not familiar with the Atlanta

are. I'm about 1 hr up north in the mountains.

I have to travel just to rent decent videos. lol

Claudia,Germany and Sue 

Many,many thanks!!

Thanks Rosi.

Well, thanks Alan, are you trying to tell me there's no such thing as San.........

Dear Claudia and dear Sue. A huge

I hear the music on and on. 

I have found another longer interview in a german newspaper (teleschau) and since there are some questions answered that were news to me, I thougt I would share with you. Here’s the link to the german original http://www.mittelbayerische.de/SID_ed88434c1e56b75127fb269563f44662/nachrichten/panorama/stars/meldung.shtml?rubrik=tschau_g&id=176882

Sue, thanks so much for the file! *hugs*

Chlaeb, you need to register with YouSendIt. It is free and once you registered with them, you have more control over your files (you can delete them before the 7 days running time is over / or 100 downloads are done).

Hikity, the file is an archive file similar to zip. You need to download the archive program WinRar to de-compress it. You'll find WinRar here: http://www.winrar-rog.com/eindex.html. Once de-compressed, you should be able to enjoy.

Sorry about the confusion.

Claudia, Germany

Chalebh, sorry, I was a bit too quick. After I had downloaded Claudia's file I found out that - although a huge file - there is no music....I can't play anything except the one from sue....

Claudia, do you have any idea what this could mean? I would love to have the music on my PC....

Morning, ladies, tks for your good wishes and crossing fingers - I'll do that for you, too, Camerata - "close your eyes and march through"

Chalebh, dear, just log in then! As soon as the files are bigger you have to be registered for some while now. go and register - that's all.

Claudia and sue , thank you soooo much for providing us with the SnowCake music! I can't wait for the DVD

Ciao bellas

Wow,thats great news about snowcake coming to my home town,Im so made up on that one,I have already seen this,but had to make the trip to London to see it,now I can just pop out and go see it up the road from me and take my mates too!!!!!Smashing film if you have not seen it yet,its a cracker and the acting is just Oscar worthy esp if I may so our Alan...

Terrific site by the way,I love this one way more than some of the others out there,so much more informative and loads of Alan chat going on too...

Brillliant..

Claudia: The yousendit link doesn't work for me. If I click it I get a site with another link and then just the message "you must be logged to download the file"

Sue you are a fantastic genius. I could make the Sunday showing, I'll be staying at a modest B&B nearby and could treat my sister as it will be her birthday that week. My son, who is still in London also has his birthday in my first week but maybe Snow Cake won't be quite his cup of tea. Thanks so much for putting me on to it.

Barbara, are you in London on the Sunday 24th November? Snowcake is showing at Charlotte Street Hotel, W1HERE. It's pricey but you do get dinner thrown in!LOL

Gosh I wish I had known about the Brighton Festival. I have booked in to see Antony and Cleopatra at the National Theatre archives for that day and it doesn't look as if Snow Cake is going to be on in London while I am there. Win some, lose some.

Snowcake is showing at Brighton Film festival on Friday 24th November followed by Q&A with writer Angela Pell and producer Henry Normal (Is that her husband?)

: Good luck for your exam ! Mine will be at the end of the month, November 28-29th, I'm scared lol

: Thanks for the translation. I dunno why but I think that there is still a chance that he plays in HP6 and 7

: Thanks for the SC songs

*** Sadly I was not able to find the song 'Northern Ondo' by Japanese Folk Song. If you have this song, please share it with me/us? *begs nicely*

Andi,

the song is called 'The Same Deep Water as Me' and it is performed by 'I Am Kloot'.

Hugs.
Claudia, Germany

Hija all.

I offered the 'Snow Cake' Soundtrack download some days ago for my f-list on lj.

I am going to re-upload the zip file right now. Should take about 30-40 minutes. Then I will post the new link here.

Cheers.

Claudia, Germany

PS: I haven't found the Japanese Folk Song 'Northern Ondo'. Maybe someone here had more luck? If, I would be grateful for a copy.

Hmm, no Sheryl Crow "the deepest". Maybe that song is just for the trailer then, anyways, i still think of that movie when i hear that song.

The Welsh connection is just another thing I have in common with AR (sadly, I collect them), along with a dislike of cats and our birthday.  I bet he can do a really good Welsh accent, making me melt all over again.  I think it's a beautiful accent - give me two weeks in Wales and I'd pick it up.

Isn't there a HP essay that suggests Godrick's Hollow was in Wales?

Claudia, I have emailed you from mastermum account!(Just in case you think it's porn or spam!LOL)

Thanks for the sound track list, sue!  A dear friend sent me Just Looking and I plan to download the rest!  I have to agree with the other comments about the music from Snow Cake being beautiful!  Gawwwwd, I can't wait for that film to make it here in the south! 

sue, would you email me when you get a chance? 

I've listened to a little bet of Welsh and although I don't understand a word...I think it is a beautiful sounding language.   

Andi, I can't remember what song was playing at that moment but here is the soundtrack list from  Sight & Sound magazine. Unfortunately I don't know what order they came in but I have managed to download the whole lot and make my own "soundtrack"

Soundtrack: "Alright Now" - Free: "Same Deep Water as Me" - I Am Kloot: "Notteru Ondo" - The Dnfters: "Deep in the Heart of Texas" - Sigoumey Weaver; "Just Looking" - Stereophonics; "Northern Lad" - Tori Amos; "Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl" - Broken Social Scene: "Let It Die" - Leslie Feist; "Hello Sunshine (Radio Edit)" - Super Furry Animals

Good luck with the exams Hikity!!

I wonder if he'll ever wind up doing it!

     everybody, just a quick , a huge thank you for all the wonderful pics of Teh Man    the reports, translations and whatsoever I managed to skim through . I wanted to let you know that you can pre-order HP 7 NOW with amazon (which I've just done - of course). CU after my exam, cross the fingers for me next Thursday, hopefully I'll have enough ...

Chris and Peek, we have been enjoying very awful weather lately

Sue is right.  "Diolch yn fawr" is one of those sayings, along with the popular "Yaki dah!", most people in the rest of the UK understand and can say.  I used to live by the Welsh border so must have picked them up watching Pobol y Cwm on telly, lol.

 

Question time!  Does anyone know what song is playing in Snow Cake when Alex begins his search for Linda (when he's in the police station and on the coach)?  It's been bugging me since I saw it.

Miriam, personally I doubt whether they would have spoken Welsh at home in London. In those days speaking Welsh was very much frowned upon even in Welsh schools. Like most people from "mixed" parentage though you often get taught certain phrases etc from your cultural background. My best friend at school had a Welsh mother and she knew lots of the basics like please and thank you but nothing else.

Hi Brittany,

 

It is known that mr. Rickman, apart from his beautiful English, also speaks Welsh. His mother was Welsh and they probably spoke it at home there. During the interview session of Snow Cake I heard him say something in Welsh. There was a Welsh reporter who said something in Welsh to the director Marc Evens, who also is a Welshman. Then he asked something to mrs Weaver and she said something like.... Oh, I can't anwer in Welsh, I would just love to. And then Alan said to her: "Say, diolch yn fawr" (which means 'thank you very much') and she repeated that. Then I knew he could speak Welsh, too. I hope that answers you. I also know he once told a fan that he could speak a little German and a little French. On the tapes of the book "the return of the native" he sings a song in French and I heard it once and I thought his pronunciation was quite good. French is quite difficult for english speaking people, for the sounds are so different here and there. But he is doing allright.

Hope that is an answer to your question.

Rickwoman, instead of newspapers publishing fake interviews, it's much more likely that all the journalists attended the same press conference. They all got the same information, and then decided on what they thought was most interesting. Therefore, some details are identical while others are different.

Ok, here is a rough translation of the interview publishe on Nov. 9th in the Upper Austrian News (OÖN)

 

Freed from the bonds of darkness

An interesting guy. A great actor. Now we see Alan Rickman (60) as the partner of Sigourney Weaver in „Snow Cake“. The film opened this year’s Berlin Film Festival. OÖN: You are the man with the many faces. 1988 for example you were the cynical, brutal Hans Gruber, Bruce Willis’s antagonist in “Die Hard”. An important role? Rickman: Yes, because it opened a lot of doors. And it is a lot of fun for an actor to create such a psychopathic villain. After that I tried not to be reduced to play bad guys, because that would me deny every development. But I think I freed myself from these bonds. OÖN: Until now you played five times the dubious Professor Snape with his oily hair in the Harry Potter film. Are you a Harry Potter fan? Rickman: Are you one? To tell the truth: I don’t like to talk about these films because out of respect for the children, who believe in these stories, and for whom I am just Snape. We should keep this naiveté like a treasure. If the filming of all the books has come to an end we might talk about it. At the moment it is better to let the things running their own ways. OÖN: The Harry Potter films have a huge budget. “Snow Cake” had to mange with little money. What are the criteria for you choosing a role? Rickman: In no case based on the budget. I am most intrigued by those story books where you don’t know on page 12 what will happen on page 15. That was the case with “Snow Cake”. All the time I had the feeling, that I could do a lot to tell the story. In some of the sequences I do like myself. OÖN: They say sometimes you suffer from stage fever. Rickman: To become an actor originally had been my plan B. But I implemented it before I started to implement plan A. If I am on the set and I feel dreadful, I often think maybe plan A would have been the better choice. OÖN: Afraid of routine? Rickman: No, because all the time you work with different directors and different colleagues, every time you discover new facets. We often feel like you would. If you have written a good interview and it is published in a nice layout, you feel good, don’t you. And for an actor it is wonderful to find that particular moments where every thing fits. Unfortunately they are gone too fast. I remember a Shakespeare production. A wonderful director, wonderful partners, and you know exactly that you won’t be as good as the play. You start to get frustrated… but in general… OÖN: What in general? Rickman: … I think actors should wear an invisible T-shirt with the inscription: Believe it or not, but I give my best. OÖN: Do you feel like a typical British? Rickman: Oh, those are clichés. That has I feel as British as any fellow countrymen, who are completely different.

New Jan........I do know what you mean! It's one of my fav scenes in the book as well!

 

From what I've read, when Snape tells Harry about the occlumency lessons, it now takes place at Hogwarts after class.

 

The general assumption is that the particular scene at 12GP was cut. Now I guess there's always a small chance that Snape & Sirius do get into some kind of argument there, but it's anyone's guess!

 

According to David Yates, he said he has a movie that's over three hours long, and he has to cut.

Carolyn - do you mean they've cut that Harry/Severus/Sirius bit out of the film, or just that they didn't include it in the trailer?  Please let them have put it in the film - it's such a wonderful dramatic scene.

 

I'm praying also that they haven't cut 'Seen and Unforeseen'.  I happen to think that's the best chapter she's written across all the books.  I know Emma T is in the film, so I'm assuming the attempted banishment of Sybil is included, but they MUST include the run up to the scream, with Snape and Harry at each other's throats.

For those of you who are planning to see Happy Feet, you may want to look out for this:

TLC has received a fairly detailed description of what seems to be the teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that is due to be shown in theaters before the movie Happy Feet on November 17. Please note, we cannot confirm that this is the actual teaser trailer, and will update with more when we can.

There is more to the teaser, but I thought this would be the most interesting part for everyone here.

CUT TO Harry in a room with Snape learning Occlumency
Snape: "Concentrate Potter, your mind is weak."
CUT TO Harry
Harry: "I am not weak."
CUT TO Snape close up scowling
Snape: "Then prove it!"

Thanks for the link Rickswoman,

I have to hurry a bit because I'm at work but I hope this is still basically understandable. If not, please do not hesitate to make fun of me The sections in the interview mentioning Alan are: 

Question: Are you not rather preassigned to the portrayal of strong women?

Answer: I played comedies at the theatre for such a long time! Then I was seen as Ripley in "Alien" and I didn't receive any more funny film scripts for long. They probably thought, I was Ripley. I feel pretty well in the comedy "branch" (department?). A good film script unites tragedy and comedy, just like "real life" does. Director Marc Evans does well to emphasize the amusing aspect of the film at a very early stage in the movie. If Alan Rickman tries to sleep on the couch the spectator knows that it is allright to laugh, even if the film touches a serious topic. Pure comedy or pure drama does only work rarely . It is important that even a comedy has a meaning. If dramas happen in real life, people make jokes about it in order to diminish the pressure.

Question: After "Galaxy Quest", "Snow Cake" is your second co-operation with Alan Rickman.

Answer: I was very happy about it. I did not see myself as the first choice for the role of Linda. It was Alan, wo said that I'd certainly do a great job and that gave me self-confidence. He is an amazing actor and I think he deserves far more movies, which centre around him. This material was written with the idea of him taking over this role. His melancholic wisdom and his human depth are at any time noticeable.

annette, I'm rolling with laughter with you.  Why does he feel he has to hide his wine glass all the time???  *grin*

 

Thanks for the new pics, snapefan! 

 

I love anything that man wears!  There has only been one time that in all my AR fandom years that I didn't particularly care for what he wore and that was during awards time for Private Lives and the outfit he wore to one of the brunches was (in my opinion) totally unflattering. 

 

Thanks for the news, CatsPlay.  Hmmm, I wonder what the "pay what you can" tickets are all about???

If I EVER go to one of these events, remind me to wear scarlet or electric blue.  I mean, AR looks fab in the velvet jacket, but look at everyone in the background.  Black, black, black. 

 

Straighten that knee, Alan - I'm sure it's just the camera angle, but it looks a little camp.

 

Fab pics, though.  Thanks.

Heh. Again, NOT to be judgmental, and this is ONLY my opinion...

AR looks exactly as I would have expected him to, after an evening like that.

(But I love his jacket. I hadn't seen the famous velvet one.)

(However...anyone else think his tie is a smidge too short?)

I'd prefer he had had an evening off, but that's just me.

Cheerybye!

This    I have found in a scanned stuff, haven't seen it either.

And one more photo, which was made at the Premiere, but it hasn't been here, perhaps. Btw, here  http://www.photonews.com.pt/?page=event&id=2144  are huge pics from the same event

Several theatre favorites are scheduled to take part in the sixth annual benefit for Only Make Believe, the charity that brings musical theatre to ill children.

The Nov. 6 concert, simply titled Only Make Believe, will boast the talents of Donny Osmond, Euan Morton, Felicia P. Fields, Liz McCartney, Merle Dandridge, David Bryan, Christine Pedi and world-renowned acrobats KENiMATTix with direction by Joe DiPietro and musical direction by Jason Debord. The 7:30 PM evening at the Millennium Hotel's Hudson Theatre, hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford, will also feature the presentation of the 2006 James Hammerstein Award to Peace One Day founder Jeremy Gilley.

The repertoire for the evening follows:
Donny Osmond: "Beauty and the Beast" and "Any Dream Will Do"
Euan Morton: "At This Moment"
Felicia P. Fields: "It Don't Mean a Thing"
Liz McCartney: "My Simple Christmas Wish"
Merle Dandridge: "I Don't Know How to Love Him"
Christine Pedi: "I Will Survive" (as Eartha Kitt, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, etc.)
Kathie Lee Gifford: "I Don't Want" (accompanied by songwriter David Friedman)
Morton, McCartney, Jeffrey Carlson, Felice B. Gajda and Gregory Treco: "Come On in From the Outside"
Performances by David Bryan and KENiMATTix

Those scheduled to attend include Julia Stiles, Alan Rickman and Megan Dodds.

Only Make Believe was founded in October 1999 at Rusk Institute's Pediatric Unit of the NYU Hospitals Center as a project of the James and Dena Hammerstein Foundation. Since its debut, the project has already provided hundreds of workshops for children in New York City medical facilities.

The Hudson Theatre at the Millennium Hotel is located at 145 West 44th Street. Tickets, priced $25-$300, are available by calling (646) 336-1500. (There are $25 tickets still available.) For more information visit http://www.onlymakebelieve.org.

Comments:

 

I have just read through the current GERMAN GALA magazine (No. 45 dd 02.11.2006) and there is a half page article on "Snow Cake" (as it opened yesterday in German cinemas) including a small "SET TALK" (by Christian Aust) with Alan who was asked three questions! I will write down my English translation and hope you will all enjoy. The title reads: I was really slow on the uptake (meaning he got to be an actor at an "older" age) and was rather uncool! ALAN RICKMAN about his artistic ambitions, London during the wild Sixties and the long way to being an actor.

 

Q Why have you studied art?

A When I was young being an actor did not seem a serious profession to me. Back then I would not have been mature enough for it. And first I had to find out who I was. I was really slow on the uptake.

 

Q It must have been a wild time at the College of Art in London during the Sixties?!

A Indeed! But after the first two terms (semesters) I studied Arts and Design. This was the rather solid part of the deal, whilst my classmates from the Painting Seminar decided in future to only paint under the influence of LSD. This was supposed to be cool. So therefore I think I was rather part of the uncool.

 

Q Do you still paint?

A Yes, and I dream to open one day a big picture gallery (museum) at my house.

 

For the German fans on this page as a.m. this was found in the current GALA that is being sold right now. The small article includes as well a short info on the movie "Snow Cake" and a couple of photos: a screen capture of Alex (Alan) and Linda (Sigourney) playing scrabble (the photo on which he holds his right hand up and looks up towards the ceiling) and a small piccie of AR during the premiere of "Perfume" in Berlin.

The first one I heard, they had Snapeforte on talking about her fanfic "Soulplay", which I think is stunning work. But they did a "Snape's Top 10 Pickup Lines" that was hysterical. I HEART Snape in a BIG, big way too. I love he gets a whole webcast dedicated to him.

Just out of curiousity...Does anyone in here listen to Snapecast? I realized I'm going a bit out on a dork limb here but I heart Snape. Not just because of Alan...actually more because Snape is such an interesting and moody character. I just wondered if anyone else here is a Snapecast Podcast listener. It just tickles me..those girls.

Zorra - Excellent research!Thank you so much for sharing that fascinating tidbit and solving the mystery of the squash racket.

Barbara and Alanfan - You're probably missing the DivX codec that is required to play AVI files (or your codec is out of date). You can fix that problem by downloading the latest codec from the DivX website: http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/download/index.php?dlpage=2

Help please! I downloaded and saved the video file from YouSendIt but when I tried to play it I could only get audio of Megan Dodds - no video. This has happened sometimes before - is Microsoft anti certain formats?

Zorra has solved a mystery that has plagued only Zorra for some time. A few months ago, this sighting appeared in the 3 A.M. gossip page:

 

Alan Rickman swinging a squash racket while walking down Westbourne Grove, London...

 

Who was he playing squash with? Is this a regular activity of his?

 

Today, Zorra read this interview with Richard Wilson, venerable British actor, theater director and friend/mentor of Alan:

 

http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1936377,00.html

 

Zorra was struck by this passage in the Richard Wilson story:

 

Surrounded by younger folk and friends, Wilson has a reputation for enjoying drinking and dancing. "Not quite so much I'm afraid. Ha! I go to the Groucho a fair bit, but usually to eat. As regards dancing, the old pins aren't quite as sturdy as they were. I do still stagger around a squash court." He plays with actors "and sometimes now the sons of actors. They're easy to beat. They don't know the game very well yet. I can stand still."

 

Aha!  Zorra smiles. Alan plays squash with Richard Wilson. Case closed.

Jessika, I think I'm the one you were referring to, however I don't think I said 'huge'. Perhaps tall or wide. (and for the record, I think he's a great actor too)

Maryland! How FUN that you did that! BTW, I was surfing the movie channels this morning (because I'm an unemployed bum) and found a 1967 movie with Rex Harrison and Susan Hayward called "The Honey Pot." And also in it, a quite young Maggie Smith. She sounded exactly the same and actually looked the same, except just a more youthful face.

We had only one HP costume out of the MANY kids who came by. One Harry Potter. He got 3 pieces of candy instead of two. We did have one guy who looked about 25 who was dressed as a wizard, but that was just sort of strange. Next year, boyfriend and I talked about dressing as Snape and Hermione. BF said he'd have to start practicing his snarl soon.

Hey everyone!  I hope all had a fun and SAFE Halloween last night.  If anyone needs any candy, I have 4 plastic pumkins slam full of candy....I'll be glad to send someone as much as they can handle!  Meanwhile...I'll be feeding everyone at work candy until Easter!  LOL 

 

Thanks for the link to the Megan Dodds Audio Slide Show, Carolyn!  The site must be busy right now cause I'm having problems getting access.  I'll try back later. 

 

Never fear Jessika and Renie!  There are some Ralphy fans here including myself.  Yes, he is brilliant....and it sure doesn't hurt that he's a cutie too!

Well, Ralph Fiennes indeed, but someone said something about his hugh forehead (I don't remember who and I'm not criticizing or anything) I'd just like to leave the link, cause i'm his fan and he's damn brilliant!!

 

And of course, I know Alan is Alan, but...

There's a nice video clip (3:39) at:

http://www.nytimes.com/packages/khtm/2006/10/31/theater/20061101_CORRIE_AUDIOSS.html?ex=13199 about MNIRC. It's a voice over narrative by Megan explaining her role in the play with some snippets of the play performance itself. The audio is done against photo stills from the play (and there's one of Alan w/her as well).

Sue,
First thought...definitely Ralph Fiennes...I can see though how you might think it's Alan. He has depicted that stance so often in photo's. Hands in pockets, legs slightly akimbo... Easy mistake from a distance, Very reminescent of some of the Dogma photo shoots!

Hi Maryland, I remember that it was you that orginally gave the cakes to AR now. I read your story about it. Thanks to you too. Sounds like you had a lot of fun with the kids tonight, wish I was that creative, but we live on a hill and no one comes to our house...very sad!!! So cute to say that Snape was just by. What fun! I can just see the kids getting into that. Kids that watch the movies or read the books could relate. Me too. Would have loved to see your set up. I am glad people still get into it.
