Drat....

At least you've got a lovely coat!

I thought perhaps you were talking

about a quilt with Alan patchwork.

 (Honest)

  

 

Sorry guys! That's me posting

a question to Chris!

My fingers got ahead of me!

-The Nick

Ok Chris-

May I ask what you bought?

Forgive my asking, but I've got

this gut feeling that it might be

deliciously evil.......  

If you can't share, I understand, I'll

just have to draw my own conclusions,

and we all know what that may consist of......

*snicker,snort*

(just joking babe)


 

Good for you Chris.Looks like you are going to be really warm and cosy this winter...*cough  cough*.....

Hey Chris-

Claudia's recipe below has

all constituents, but being a

former bartender, I had to

kick it up a notch!

Here goes:

1 shot Kaluah

1 shot Bailey's

1 shot Crown Royal

Shake it up and drink!

What the hell, just drink right

out of the shaker.

It's a tiny bit more than what

Claudia stated, but I'm voracious.

I've got a bad case of the "Can't-help-its".

I have a question; how can I sand my video of AR here... I mean to put it to a music videos section... if that is possible... thanx!

Hello my beloved droogs-

I've tried the "Duck Fart"

drink as described.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!

To be honest, I made mine a double,

and it's wonderful! Yes, very smooth.

Not for the weak at heart.

But very much worth it! Yum yum!

Can I get anyone a drink?

Pam, Dumpy?

This round is on me!

Here's to good times! Let's have many more!

Alfan!  Whoa girl on the drinkies!!!  LOL  I had a very special person tell me of a drink recipe over the weekend but I haven't tried it yet.  Its called a "Duck Fart".  The name is discusting but it sounds like a smooth drink.

Anyway, you fill a shot glass a quarter full of Kahlua then two quarters full of Bailey's and then finish off with a little less of a quarter of Crown Royal.  I've been warned that it is very smooth and you have to watch out!  LOL

Thanks for extending the hand of friendship, Pam.  That is very sweet of you. 

Hey Yall!  I hope everyone that celebrates had a brilliant AND SAFE Thanksgiving!  I went to be with my Daddy in West Virginia.  The travelling was murder.  Our normal 8 hour trip up there took us 10.5 hours.  It was awful! 

Anyway, although I hate Mondays, I'm glad to be back.

I read some harsh talk between two or our members below.  I truly hope you two will take it somewhere else and save our group for the fun posts.  Seriously....what difference does it make that one posts right after the other?  The paranoia really is silly.  Its not like someone can reach out and grab you through the computer. 

Pam, I hope your son will have a quick and successful surgery.  I remember back when my son was 3....we had a really bad Thanksgiving that year because of illness.  Good luck.

I'm thinking of getting my grandchildren a Wii for Christmas.  They have never been able to get a new system as soon as it comes out. They usually have to wait a couple years.  But this year, I think we can swing it.  Wish me luck in finding one!

Yall, I'm going to be working on the smilie bank today.  Take out all the Thanksgiving fellows and put in some Christmas.

Hugs to all of you!   

Look like I'll have to make some jello shooters.......

Ok, this has totally nothing to do with anything but i tell you guys, download the song i mention in this littel blurp and then picture the dream i had. 

during the nap i had this afternoon (due to waaaay to many jello shooters last night,, dont want to even see jello for the next year). But anyways, during my nap i had a wicked Snape dream. First of all there he was at the end of the battle ( and like my other dream) he was sweaty, bloody  and walking through a bit of fog and smoke. But in the background is the song " Mad World" by Gears of War. He is looking at the distruction of Hogwarts, the death that surrounds him and he see's  the tomb stone of Dumbledore, stops, and as he has this look of utter devestation, he lets one single tear fall and is in his own world, but then hears the jubilant crowd around the triuphant trio and then he slips away back into the haze.

It was so sureal, it was awesome, and he looked hot........i swear if you download this song, you will think of him, if not i will give you your money back, no wait, i will exchange it without question. Ok, still a little warped i guess.

oh and by the way, this is the second dream i have had about a desolate, sweaty, bloody Snape at the end of the war.The first one, there was him alone sitting on a rock,totally exhausted with his head down and all of a sudden there was a arm on his shoulder and it was Hermione and all she said was

"thank  you" and he said " thats all i ever wanted" Then my alarm went off.

Weird dreams eh!!!!!

Peekaboo-

What lovely eyes you have!

Alright campers, is everything

resolved here? I truly hope so.

So where is everyone this evening?

Oh well, The Bar is open!

The pic of the Snape pillow next door

is wonderful! Wish I had one!

Yes, let's not forget that Claudia gave us this board so we could be silly and chat in general without rubbing anybody up the wrong way on the main Download Haven Board.

I'm sure she didn't give it to us for people to come in from other boards (eg Suzanne's Downtime) dragging a load of of grievances which the majority of us don't know about and aren't in the slightest bit interested in.

As soon as anybody starts using multiple aliases it usually  ends in tears.

I don't quite understand what's

going on. I can't keep up with all

of these different names being posted.

  

I truly don't know what to think of it.

But let's get past all this crap and go back

to having a good time! That's what we are

here for isn't it?

So let's put on our Big Girl panties and carry on!

I hope everyone's Turkey day was good.

Yesterday's TV was very nice to me! "Love Actually'

and "Robin Hood" came on! Lovely!

Now if I can just get my hands on "Dark Harbour"

for a chance to see Alan nekkid.........

Sorry for the repetitions, only read Chris's post after sending off mine.

For some weeks this place has sucked now. I had no idea this was a forum to make already existing fights worse and worse by informing as many people as possible about them. But maybe that is what provides all the fun and I am missing something.

Maybe we need another guestbook for fighting? But no, that one is already next door, is it not? Come to think of it, the discussions next door are not as sophisticated as they should be according to "the rules" - but no one cares for any rules anyway, right? But beware, you might be the one singled out and blamed for all the illegal squeeing next time.

So, here is your mantra, everyone: "I am not the centre of the world, neither is AR. I am not..."

Pity, this was a good place once. But I guess I better get back to work instead of reading all the nonsense here that is none of my business anyway. You may hate me now. But guess what, I will not mind. Go ahead, focus your anger on me and then forget it all and get back to topics that might be interesting for the remaining members of this group.

Hey, just going back to the OOTP trailer and HBO special, did anyone else notice not one single picture of Tonks or Lupin,,,,,they are both in it.

REALLY sucked, thanks for asking!   I think I deserve a "do over day" for it. It should AT LEAST involve Alan calling for phone sex to make up for today!

Snokat-

Too true. I went to the Wikipedia

site and I guess it's been cleared up.

Or perhaps someone on the Imdb

postings was pulling a prank.

Still spooked me. B**tards.

How's your Birthday so far?

It stated he died Nov. 18th 2006.

God, I hope no one tells him this!! He seems to have enough issues about getting to do all the roles he wants at his age. If he thinks he's as good as dead, that will really depress him. Not to mention what it would do to me. 

Mrs. Doyle's Cat wrote: 

But will Hikity want her Brian enhanced!!??

(And who is he anyway, does he sit under the desk and pass the answers to her??)

LOL!!  Oh, brother....that's what I get for typing too fast and not proof-reading. 

I think that if Hikity did have a Brian, she would request the enhanced version *cough* if you know what I mean. 

Sorry about that.....I'm sure you all realized that I meant brain enhancing.  Now I'm off to find mine.....

  I was just checking out Imdb,

and there was post on Alan.

Apparently, wikipedia has made

a huge mistake! It gave his biography,

date of birth and date of death!

I almost fell off my trolley!

It stated he died Nov. 18th 2006.

My stomach dropped!

I hope others catch on that it was

an error, because that could cause some major

upset.

  Wheew!

Well, let's see now, The Notorious

Nick will just have to strengthen up

that hot chocolate!

Cheers!

Hey Chris-

I plan on celebrating by

giving thanks to Arthur Guinness.

How about you?

I thought it was Native Americans

thanking the white man for taking

over the land and bringing disease.

LOL

After a while, I thought about it,

and snickered. Totally forgot that

the UK has no reason to celebrate

Turkey day. My morning coffee hadn't

kicked in yet. LOL

Nope I think it's just in the States that you have Thanksgiving. I mean isn't it about giving thanks for being delivered safely to your new country??

We just waved you off at the docks!!!

But will Hikity want her Brian enhanced!!??

(And who is he anyway, does he sit under the desk and pass the answers to her??)

Hikity - I've sent an owl to our dear Potions Master requesting him to brew you up an extra special Brian Enhancing Potion that will assist you in conquering your exams. 

I am also chanting good luck incantations that are winging their way to you right now.

Good Luck!!

Hey Chris, or anyone from the UK-

Do you have Thanksgiving over there?

Hate to sound ignorant, but my friend

in Surrey just emailed me and didn't know

what Thanksgiving was.

Just curious. Not up to snuff on all foreign

customs.

Gimme an H Gimme an I Gimme a K Gimme another I,

Gimme a T and finally gimme a Y !

What's that spell ?!

HIKITY!!!!

Fingers crossed babe! You will triumph!

GOOD LUCK HIKITY!!!!

Good luck, Hikity !!!!!

GOOD LUCK HIKITY!!!

Hey Chris-

Are we the only life out here?

Guess everyone is busy with

holiday happenings.

Oh well, cheers!

Well, it's settled then!

Just turned on the Goblet of Fire,

while I have a Goblet of something else!

Sounds like a date to me!

I've taken the day off to rest

up the body, get a few domestic

things done. Is it too early for a pint?

Thanksgiving. Don't know what I'm doing.

Not married anymore, won't be with my family.

Looks like a pub Thanksgiving for me !

Hi Rosay-

Thanks for the drink invite!

Didn't see anyone on chat.

Cheers!

`````_|_      Well hello Nicketynick! tried the chat room, all blanks??? so....have some rose wine with me when I'm back again tomorrow night?sent 

Dumpy-

Yes, I'm lucky to be alright.

Don't deny that, but I always

look for the humor in things.

A sick sense of humor to boot! LOL

Let the good times roll!!!

BTW, Nicketynick  surely that isn't you  "mooning" someone here (that blue jeans smilie)?

Re: heated discussions - Are we so bad that our Discussion Party needs an exorcist, guys???     Naw! (no)

Nicketynick you've been watching too many film comedies!

Maybe  in a couple years it will be funny, but giggles could be a sign of stress. I slipped and fell on ice and slid under the car and I laughed it off, too!

But someone here was actually killed when a car rolled over them, no one I know, though.

You are so lucky to be OK!!  whew!

Thanks for the kind thoughts guys.

Yes, it was spooky, but after a few

minutes, my first thoughts were:"that

would've looked great on film!"

I'm pretty much a clutz anyway, so I'm

used to falling about. But the way it all happened

was actually funny. It looked like something out

AbFab or French & Saunders.True I'm bruised up,

but I can't stop giggling about it.

Dumpy- Yes, it was actually a car

accident. Minor. In short, I was runover

by my own car. I know, sounds nuts.

I live in the mountains, we had a major

storm, lots of rain, my Van was on a slope,

for whatever reason, the parking brake wasn't

on, it went sliding downhill right over me, I didn't

even hear it coming from behind. Scared the hell out of me.

But like I said, bumps and bruises, nothing broken.

Hey, could've been worse, right?

As for the conflicts here, let's just all let it go and

take a deep breathe. Enjoy ourselves. GROUP HUG!

I beleive I'll make myself a Sunday brunch momosa!

Who would like to join me?

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL MY "BOOM BOOM BUDDIES"

MY COMPUTER GOT FIXED!!!

I think you know where to find me

Nicketynick - I'm sorry to hear you had an accident, but I'm glad you're doing OK. I hope it wasn't a car accident. I hope it wasn't a car crash! those are so scary.

I've had a lot of fun here. I try to be friendly, but it doesn't always work out because some people just can't be pleased no matter what I say.  What am I supposed to do? send out my posts secretly world-wide and get everyone's OK before I post it? not possible.      

Hello all. Everyone keeping well I trust?

Looks like there's been some heated discussions.

Come on guys! That kind of stuff takes place

next door! Don't let it happen here. We all seem to

get-on well here. So let's get back to being the

crazy,goofy, fun lot that we are!

  
P.S. I wanted to say Thanks again

to all those who were so nice on my

Birthday. It ended up being rather

spooky. I was in a bit of an accident.

Not too bad though. I'm alive and well.

Minor bumps and bruises, no call for flowers

or get well cards. LOL  Hell of a Birthday(snicker)

Anyroad, thanks for those Birthday wishes and cakes!

Love you guys!

 

Dumpy, quit the bullshit, and be nice, or else leave. Pam stalking youi? Come on! She's a Rickman fan, not a Dumpy fan.

No Chris, I have dibs on her following me! 

disguested lurker   oops! you forgot your soapbox!

Chris, as long as you're talking about HP, would you mind having a discussion about "dumpy" Umbridge?? 

Here's where I am coming from. Don't go here if you don't like other's history.

http://web.archive.org/web/20050214073556/http://books.dreambook.com/soloflights/downtime.html

Pam you did it again?   

Pam, I'm sorry you didn't recognize my actually being as friendly as I know how to be.  

Nicketynick and Vicki - doing the BD cakes was my pleasure! Vicki, I noticed your "chocolaty" comment, so I made yours special, it did turn out nicely if I must say so myself - I was surprised! since it was autumn, I've been making them fall colors, but it was nice doing something new.

Pam, oh come on now Pam. How do you do it??? posting immediately after me?!?

You don't have to post about your son to get my sympathy, you have it. Illness in the family is hell. Did you know someone close to me had been in the hospital for weeks? I hurt, too.

I just have a feeling you follow me somehow, and it makes me feel like you're a lost puppy or something, following me around. Just talk to me if you want to know something.

What you do or where you go with your computer is your choice, but please, if you are following me, don't say I'm paranoid, immature, etc. If you are not following me, then you have nothing to worry about.

BTW, when you see those mean posts about me, for example on The Downtime Bar, why don't you ever defend me?

Hi all! well here I am, it's 12:24 AM. I wonder how long it will be for Pam to post her post immediately after mine.

I always thougth that Peter O Toole would of been a great choice and i had my evidence when in Troy he went to Achillies to ask for the body of Hector back. The eyes and the soft compassionate voice reminded me of the way Richard Harris portrayed DD. I remember reading somewhere that the fellow who played Percy, oh crap, brain fart, whats his name. Anyways, he said that RH was a real 'pr--k" on set and that he is the one person who he wouldnt want to work with again.( obviously when he was still alive ) I know Alan though got along well with him. oh oh oh, Chris Rankin, i remembered before i signed off, wheew!!! Thought my HP knowledge was slipping.

I adore David Thewlis as Lupin. I don't know that I had anyone pictured before I saw him, but I really find Lupin appealing, probably because of him. Oldman was a surprise, but he works well! And I actually Like Michael Gambon MORE than Richard Harris. Maybe it's just because I've seen him do Dumbledor more now. I've forgotten how Harris made the role different and when I do see him in it, it's a shock.

I guess I did have a very specific picture of Umbridge in my head and I SWEAR I've seen women, actresses even, who seemed so much the part. I think my 5th grade teacher would have made a good Umbridge!!!

I also didn't read the first book until I had seen the first movie. So I had many of the actors in my head before I even cracked a book.

Chris~ Hope you drop by here sweety.. Just wanna tell you I can't reply your e-mail.. something is wrong with my Yahoo... *sighs*

And about the OoTP trailer... Snape Rocks!

Pam - Good luck with your Nintendo search and my best wishes to you and your son for a speedy recovery. 

Although she may not look exactly as described by JK Rowling, I am pleased with their casting of Imelda Staunton as Delores Umbridge.  I've seen her in other things and I know she will do DU justice.  She plays that type of character well.

I was real skeptical when I first saw pictures of David Thewlis and heard they had cast Gary Oldman because they just didn't fit my mental picture of Lupin and Sirius.  But both actors did a tremendous job and now, when re-reading the books....I picture both of them in the role instead of my original mental picture.  The only one I have trouble with is Michael Gambon.  He does his best but Richard Harris will always be the true Dumbledore for me. 

Okay this should probably go under the HP Spoilers forum...but...oh well....I'm too lazy to go there.  Did anyone else picture Umbridge as being more fat and grotesque looking??? They have her looking like Rosalin Carter for Christ sake!!!! Usually I say they are spot on for getting the characters to look just as I've pictured them.

Check out the new stills from Order of the Phoenix.  None of them are of Prof. Snape but a few were taken in his office (you can tell by all the jars of slimey stuff in the background).  I've posted the link on the HP Spoilers board.  Enjoy!

Oh wow....great minds do think alike.  I just posted a huge AMEN over on the main GB before I came here......I can see I'm not the only one singin' a Hallelujah!  It's good to see him get the recognition.

Thanks to Chris, Nicketynick, Dumpy, and Pam for the good wishes.....and best of all.....It's FRIDAY!!!!

AMEN SISTER!!!!!

Did you all see????  News from over at the G-Board. I don't ever want to hear Alan say that his sex appeal is twenty years in the past, because.....Salon voted him one of the Sexiest Men Alive!!! http://www.salon.com/ent/feature/2006/11/17/sexiest_man/index5.html

Now, granted some of his "competition" is a bit...."eh" and even "ewh!" But they did a FABULOUS write up of him and managed to say in just a few paragraphs exactly the reasons I love him. Such as....

Frankly, a spectral Alan Rickman still beats out a vast percentage of mere mortals most days of the week. 

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.  

Can I get an AMEN from the congregation!!!

Dumpy & Pam-

Thank you guys!

Havin' a blast! 

If you're wondering about The Downtime Bar, here's a sample from long ago:

http://web.archive.org/web/20040218000557/http://books.dreambook.com/soloflights/downtime.html

They make pink champagne from pink grapes that they grow in soil that is mulched with pink rose petals turning the white grapes their characteristic rosy hue. 

However, if only regular champagne is available, just ask Professor Snape (Alan Rickman) to whisper sweet little nothings over the champagne glass until it blushes.  (If you believe any of this, or think it's funny, you had a happy day, good for you!!)

Alan says I'm talented because I wear a bikini!!!

I'm sorry love! Didn't mean to forget

Hope you had a good one! We Scorpios

Best wishes to you and yours!

Chris, Vicki and all-

Thanks so much you guys!

It's very warming being that my own

family didn't bother or notice.

But, who cares! Let the good times roll!

Scorpois are above such little things!

  
I'm working on my 3rd pint and ready for more!

Hugs to all!

 

Happy Birthday, Vicki!

Happy Birthday, NicketyNick!!    A fellow scorpion, eh?  (I just celebrated my b-day on monday).  Here's wishing you a great day covered in delicious, chocolate-y, Alan-y goodness! 

A little OT:  I just watched for the first time, last night The Girl in the Cafe with Bill Nighy (a b-day present).  Wow!  What a different role for him!  Most of the things I've seen him in he plays a really outgoing, flamboyant character.  He was so subdued and mild-mannered in this role I hardly recognized him.  But he did it so well....he really is such a good actor.  Good film!

Alright kids-

Happy hour starts early today!

Celebrating my Birthday with the

house to myself after a terrible night.

  

Drinks for the house! Cheers!
 

Vicki and Nicketynick - you wonder what's happening in the little bar scene "smilie"??!? well, I'm wondering what's on barfly 's mind:

(quotes are mine.)

Claudia (GA), how did I know about your drink? the internet has a history - but not always reliable.  Maybe I'm a bartender?! maybe not. What is Chevis?  I'll have House Elfie bring it right over ASAP!    

Barfly- oops, I meant Suzanne's site.

Look at me! Barely a drink and I'm already

mucking it up!

Vicki-

I know what you mean! I thought something

else myself. It appears to be just dancing.

LOL

Don't worry, my mind is always in the gutter.

Barfly-Thanks for the walk-through on Claudia's

site. Guess I wasn't paying attention.

Haven't been there in a long time.

Oh, what's that I hear? The sound of a glass

being filled!

NicketyNick - uh....*ahem*.....that's an interesting little bar scene cartoon you've got there.  But what the heck is going on with those characters on the right?....or is my mind just in the gutter today.

I can't believe you remembered my favorite drinkie, Dumpy!  That was made known many years ago and yet you still remember.

Here's the link to Suzanne's Downtime Bar  happy hour has already started!  *grin*

Close My Eyes AND Clive Owen really had to grow on me as well.  But AR was absolutely beautiful in that film....I guess that's not saying a damn thing because he's ALWAYS beautiful in any film!  LOL 

*lol* Hikity!! Hahahaha... Yes, kind of twins.  Hehe. Now do you guess who's who!?

Goooood luck for your examns and I think I owe you an email as well *blushing* Keeping my fingers crossed for you !!!

Well, Claudia's GB dosen't seem

to be working. Not sure what's wrong.

Also I noticed the last post was Oct 1st.

Am I doing something wrong?

Oh well, I'll just kick back with my pint

and see if anything pops up.

Cheers all!

Anyone else having trouble going

to Suzanne's guestbook? I gave it a go,

but then it directed me to something

wanting a paid membership,etc.

I'll try again, maybe I'm just having a

"Nicky" moment. LOL

Hello Barfly!

Thanks for the invite, will check it out!

Ok Campers! Look alive!

The Bar is open!  
Who's drinkin' what?

 

The bouncing Tigger is

what many of us will look

like once we get to see Snowcake

Mos def I have become insane during these five months reading and learning. This is why I am posting now these funny smilies, for distraction...

There is one for each of us I think:

Teh hens:

Peek, Tanja and I in London:

Pudd and Mrs Slopetwins, I assume, but if not then perhaps they look like these two?

But, but, but, what does this one mean???Honestly, I can't make anything of it  ??? As insane as I am

Just a quick note:

You may pre-order HP 7 now: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/ref=pe_02/?ASIN=B000J3Q8TU

Bye

Hello Rosay! Welcome !

This is a great bunch.

Hope you enjoy it!

Dumpy, do you have a pint

of Guinness back there?

Thought I'd have a welcome drink

with our new friend.

Oh, Hi Bartender, I'll have my usual sparkling wine, Rose! I heard this is a real nice bunch, how are y'all!?

Claudia (GA), I was so happy to see this kitty! lol, it's just like my own, always wagging its tail (but always happy!) thanks!  can I get you a Chevis and Perrier? 

`# @ <sub>!!!</sub>   <sup>!</sup>  # <sub>@</sub> <sup>!``*</sup> For those of you having trouble with gmail, sites, etc. (and my cat waiting patciently for food and water)-see you later! 

Just watched both those Emma Thompson clips, she is brilliant isn't she?

Her mum, Phyllida Law, was in a BBCTV afternoon soap-y thing last week and she still looks lovely. They must have great genes.

  That Emma Thompson video was brilliant!

She's just too much for words!

You guys have to go check out mugglenet and see the Emma Thomson clip about Harry Potter and the little Demi Moore imitation, she is halarious and i can see why Alan is attracted to her. ( not in the physical sense but friendship wise). She is priceless.

 Chris-----Sweet November. You obviously watched that too, is a good story. I sure would like to look at his collection of home video's. I wonder if he filmed behind the scenes with the HP crew. Im sure he probably had to sign something that says it would never get out.I was always hoping for a Lucius/Snape duel, who knows, maybe in the seventh book Snape will come to Harry or Draco's rescue and duel with Lucius.......

Oh, and thanks to those who recently posted the latest pictures of Alan. And who said that Alan and Don Johnson dont have anything in common.

Chris-

Thanks. Had a feeling it might have

been her laughing. By the way, Nicky

is fine with me. It's actually my name,

and spelled correctly too!

The "feminine" spelling is the one I don't

like. Anyroad, I'm sure I'll get to hear Alan

giggle at some point in the movie!

I love a good laugh!

Oh Thanks Carolyn. I used to get the Evening Standard every day when my son was at school but it doesn't come out as far as our village and it seems foolish to take a ten mile trip to buy a 50p newspaper!

Of course that's for the performance I never saw ! *sob*

Sue, I know you're a K.Spacey fan. Just wanted to mention he's been nominated for an "Evening Standard" theatre award for best actor. There'll be a ceremony at the Savoy on Nov.27

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cuuuteee!!!!!

I LOVE the new Smileys!!!!! Lovelovelovethem!!

There's Snape in the OoTP trailer, there's Snape in the OoTP trailer,,,,,,,,,

SPOILER

Snape during Occulmency lessons accuses Harry of being weak minded,,,,,Harry says " im not weak". Then Snape says back in a voice that only he can do

" THEN PROVE IT". ( how many think he is going to say "prove it" with that little emphasis he does so often as Snape like when he says "turn to page 394". or "dont lie to me".

Totally off topic here, but i was on a page where i saw an avatar that made me laugh, it showed a picture of Snape and it said " Snape didnt kill Dumbledore" then switches to DD in POA/GOF and it then says " Gambon did"..... made me giggle.

And if you dont mind me saying, i have a love/hate relationship with Jason Issac. I love him to death in all the roles he has played but i hate the fact that he looks better in a green sequence dress than i do.

This may sound like a stupid question, but

I'll take the risk: Has anyone here seen the

Snowcakie movie website? It has taken me

forever to get that damn thing to come up, and

it finally did the other day. Slightly different from

the movies trailers I've seen so far. There's a scene

in which I believe Alan is laughing with a high-pitched

giggle. It appeared to possibly be a"bedroom" scene

with Carrie Ann Moss. Am I correct? Or was that her laughing?

The Picture wasn't the greatest. Regaredless, I thought

it adorable! Can't wait,can't wait!

  Got too hungry, back later!

I LOVED the Jason Isaac's interview! He's darling, isn't he?? Funny and self depricating and how about his American accent he was doing for Chris Columbus?? Too bad he always has to be the bad guy. Like Alan, he's good a it. But Alan does romance and comedy equally well. I bet Jason does too.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Sheriff.
*Stammering* "Nothing, Sir S-O-B! it's just that the "Hello Kitty" is back!"
"Me!"

Better run along Hello Kitty, I'm about to use adult language about adult situations!

Years ago, before the Rickmania took hold, I saw on the TV menu, "Close My Eyes", "Dark Harbor", "Closet Land", etc., etc., ----ing etc. But did I watch?? NO. Mistake! Now that I want to see them, they've become extinct! (rarely listed). Darn-knit!

But at least we have the HK now, thanks Claudia, (GA)! BTW, I don't want to risk getting emails that say things like, "Show us your t--s!", or "Alan would rather crawl naked over broken glass than meet that viperous bitch, (me)!",  like it happened on  other places!

Well, I admit "sooo" many is vague, but I don't want to go back and count all those email requests (other sites, other people). Sounds tempting, though!  

Sorry about that, Chris.  I searched on youtube but it isn't there yet.  Try this link:  http://www.hpsorcery.co.uk/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=76

Hope it works for you!

(Ever tried to type with two band-aids on your finger?.....)

Ohhh!  Look at all the cute Thanksgiving smilies! 

Ah well, another lipstick message on our nice, clean mirror! *laughs*

There is a great video interview with Jason Isaacs where he speaks about filming OotP.  (No mention of AR however).  I have posted the link over on the HP spoilers board if you are interested.

Snokat-

Sounds like you've got a nice guy!

What do you think of Netflix anyway?

I was considering giving it a try.

I love any character Alan plays.

Let's face it, The Sheriff Of Nottingham

wasn't the nicest guy, but Alan did it perfectly.

I'd like to see him do more comedy.

Luckily, Boyfriend is REAL understanding of my "side relationship" with Alan. And there is a deal in place that if I ever get my chance with Alan (you know, that nigh to of unbridled passion we all pray about!) I can take it -- He just wants all the details afterward!! Or if Alan shows up at the house asking me to run away with him, I'm GOING! However, all the same rules apply for Boyfriend if Minnie Driver shows up. Lucky for me, Boyfriend thinks Alan is a great actor and humanitarian and respects him, so it's okay that I find him sexy. If I was totally into some vapid, young, pretty boy, shallow celebrity, then he might mind.

CME was another movie that didn't have enough Alan in it for me to be as hooked in by it. I'll admit Awfully Big Adv. has grown on me after seeing it several times and I rank P.L. almost up there with Jamie (my favorite Alan character, neck in neck with Snape).

I think Mesmer is my next movie from Netflix! I'll report how I like it...cause I know you all and Alan care what I think!

Love "Close my Eyes"!

Saw it for the first time about 11 years

ago with my husband(at the time),

and he became so ravingly jealous of

Alan, he took my video-rental card away!

LOL (no kidding)

I thought it was hilarious! Alan isn't even the

one who got nekkid in the movie!

( I'm sorry to say)

Ah childish jealousy, it makes me laugh!

I've found that Close My Eyes really grows on you.  I wasn't overly impressed after the first viewing.  I'd even venture to say I was a little creeped out by the brother/sister thing the first time and I wanted to kick Sinclair during the first part of the story.  But this film really, really grew on me with repeated viewings.  It's now one of my more favorites in my collection and Sinclair is one of my favorite characters. 

Me again....  Just got another Netflix film, "Close My Eyes." It was okay. Normally Clive Owen skeeves me out. I just find him creepy. But he was pretty good in this film. And we did get a glimpse of his "assets." Ahhh beautiful Alan though. Funny, Boyfriend said he was such an "upper-class twit" in this film, and he really was! But he was cute. And I expected his "sex scene" which I had read him talk about, to be longer, but it was very brief and showed nothing but a couple people moaning and moving about under the covers for a few seconds. Damn. We get to see Clive's dilly-wapper but Alan only shirtless.

I'm actually glad I didn't spend the money to buy it. Netflix has been educational!

I just joined Netflix and my first rental was The Barchester Chronicals...which start of kinda slow, until Mr. Slope shows up. OMG, is he so deliciously evil that you just want to take a bite out of him???? I adore his character!! And I tell you, put a black wig on him and he is practically Snape. I would love to ask him if Slope crossed his mind when preparing for Snape.

I'm thinking Bar Chron is going to have to go on Snowy's Christmas list!! I hope I haven't been too bad this year. However, the "Santa" at my house likes it when I'm bad!!!

I love that pulpit scene, brilliant stuff!

CENSORSHIP!! CENSORSHIP!! 20 Ave Maria for Puddi !!

Obadiah Slope would DECRY such depraved saying!! 
 

 *Obibaby-uh oh yeah*

Oh yes, Obadiaaaaah *sigh* Of course, you are absolutely right bronte. Certainly now you are aware that Oby was forced to work in me... erm. I did not say that.

*lol* !!!!!!

Have no fear - Puddi and I have just worked out a plan on how to help you differing us in the future. We're working on it. Just takes a few days.

Peekabooh I'm also curious to hear what your hubbie will think about Snow Cake. That's really interesting. (What YOU will think about it I can already imagine. Hehe...)

Now goodnight everybody and praise Obadiah Slope!!

Hehe, no, so far I've only seen it once. But will watch over and over again as soon as the DVD's out *droolingalloverthekeyboard* I bet you'll both love it too.

The local cinema is going to show the Perfume in original language on the 21st. Rrrrrr... *droolingevermore*

Tell your hubbie that you're not able to help it. Because the ANIMAL MAGNETISM forces you right into the cinema. So it's just beyond your control. Hehehe...

Ms.Slope-

Lucky you! How wonderful that

must have been! I can't wait for

it to come to the states!

I'm sure I'll be giddy-as-a-schoolgirl! 

Weeeeeeeeeeeee - - - Am still in a state of sheer enthusiasm after seeing Snow Cake on Tuesday. Such a GREAT movie!! AR in as close as possible close ups and from all angles. Funny, moving, beautiful!!! Also great acting of Sigourney Weaver.

Go and see it - twice!!

Hi everyone!  I'm glad to see our Discussion Group is still coming along nicely. 

Real life seems to be giving me a little slack these days, thank God!  I'm hoping to be able to spend some more time with all my cyber friends now.  *crossing fingers*

I haven't been to Suzanne's in a long time but I did peek over there today.  I really need to post a quick hello over there.  I hope I can get in! 

Dumpy, I wouldn't go so far as to say sooo many people want your email address.  I've only asked for it in the past to answer questions you've asked that I prefer not to answer online.  Whether you give it to me or not makes no difference to me.  I do understand you're not wanting to give your address out but have you ever thought of setting up an email account JUST for your online dealings?  That way, when you check it, you could just delete any mail you don't want to hear from.  However, this is just a suggestion. 

I hear 'ya Dumpy!

My computer does the same thing!

It makes this loud spinning, winding-up

noise as if it were about to explode.

So you're paranoid or nuts.

It's kind of spooky sounding. (OMG what does this mean!)

LOL

BTW, when I tried to post on FoF, my toolbar disappeared! it's fixed now, though.

 How did that happen?!?! why does my computer sometimes sound like it's getting hyper when I go to certain websites? it makes this spinning noise, like it's recording the entire content of cyberspace! am I getting paranoid or what?!?!? (see now Nicketynick,  that's the kind of remark that people would take seriously and claim  that I'm nuts!!      

Who gets the "extra security" when you type in Alan's last name?!?!?

I used to only eat cookies. Now that I know they collect personal information....

  Here I am welcoming cookies with my pop-up blocker!

sue, Chris, Barbara NZ, Pam, Thanks, but I tried all those things before. It did not work. But, tonight it did. Most curious!

Nicketynick, thanks for the pep-talk. You're lucky it never happened to you! I knew before ever being on the internet that kind of hatred is the other person's problem.    I too only wanted to have fun, but boy, did that tee some people off!!

Yes, the password to Suzanne's is AR's surname. She says capitalise but you only have to use the capital for the first letter. It's how you would normally write a name.

Dumpy-

I love your toilet-smiley! LOL

Very cute!

And I truly feel that this is a good

group of folks to kick-back and have

fun with. Why anyone would call you a "loser"

etc. is beyond me. That's ridiculous and mean.

I can't say I've ever been on sites that treated

me that way, although a couple have gotten

snotty next door.And people like that are miserable,

obsessed, haven't been on a date in a while, and

and could use a drink. LOL

I don't accept that from anyone. Nor should you.

It's all about fun. Nobody wants to mess with this

Scorpio baby!

BTW, has this ever happened to you 

What is your email address?
 

Do you have to email Suzanne and get a special password to post on her AR Guestbook?  

I followed the prompt, exactly. Always get "access denied". My-my, what people will do to "make" me give out my email! 

sue   , and Chris   ,  I don't know what y'all are talking about on the ARDH Guestbook either!  - Dumpy

    Hey, I know - let's see if any of you guys and anyone else here,  can get on Suzanne's AR Guestbook

Nicketynick you're overwhelming me with all your friendly comments!! I'm used to seeing "LOSER", "MORON", "GET A LIFE"...and much, much more 

I've met some real professional "verbally abusive" folks on the internet! Whew! shame, shame!
