Alan Rickman RIP

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

He really was perfect as Metatron, wasn't he?

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

For me it was his best role.
Tell a person that you're the Metatron and they stare at you blankly. Mention something out of a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly everybody is a theology scholar.
:notworthy:

I'm inclined to agree.

It's a very underrated film, with surprising amounts of theological depth underneath all the dick jokes.

I loved him in everything he did I don't ever recall him giving a poor performance. He could chill you at ten paces without speaking. He even looked uncannily like Eamon DeValera in Michael Collins. Huge loss

My favourite Alan Rickman story - and one that's not well (or at all) known, is from when they were shooting Michael Collins. A guy I worked with at the time went down to see if he could get in as an extra, and during one scene one of the other extras fixes Rickman with a steely glare and declares:

"You're not Eamonn De Valera".






(drum roll)






"You're THE SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM!"


Cue uproarious laughter, etc. Wrecked the scene, of course. :D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
