The Future Is Unknown.

Jan 14, 2016 22:01

I'm getting tired of making these posts. I shouldn't be making another post like this so damn soon. I'll tell you a story though - I think the first thing I ever saw Alan Rickman in was Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Now my mom was really into Kevin Costner and I, myself, couldn't have been more than 13 at the time and I remember saying to her ( Read more... )

great post, babe.

Thanks. Still can't quite believe we'll never see Alan in another new movie again.

I can't believe that he's died. When I saw things on my Twitter on the train ride to NYC, I kept hoping it was wrong. He was probably the best part of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, my least favorite adaptation but he was having a good time.

What a terrible place to be to hear news like that. It was the very first thing I saw after I woke up. I literally had just rolled over and picked up my IPad and as soon as I logged on. It was too early for that.

We discussed this once, how he carried that movie. I am still disbelieving of his passing.

He was a great actor and a loss to us all.

And didn't Alan Rickman just have such a stunning, unique voice? His passing still seems unreal.

I love Galaxy Quest and he was the best thing in it. He gave it such heart (I know the scene you mean, it gets me every time)

That's the thing about that movie - it is such a ridiculous, fun little flick but then there are moments where your heart actually hurts.

(I know the scene you mean, it gets me every time)

I cry every damn time.

In addition:

I first saw Rickman in Die Hard - he was the sexiest thing in the entire damned movie.

I didn't enjoy the entire Robin Hood movie except for two people: Christian Slater and Alan Rickman. I was angry that they made Rickman a bit of a buffoon, and completely disgusted by Kevin Costner's pathetic accent and spaghetti-limp acting. (Also, the story was lame-ified.)

All of which is to say - he was magnificent.

Not that there was anything wrong with Bruce Willis, but hot damn, I wanted Rickman to win in that one. And you know I am a little bit younger than you, so I was really too young to be rooting for terrorists, if there is an appropriate age for that. ;)

Agree with all of that, babe. I have a friend who is a huge Robin Hood-verse fangirl, rp for Will Scarlet, has seen every adaption - and she will tell anyone who listens how this is the worst movie to happen to Robin Hood.

He really, really was.
