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.
