One of the Greats!
Not only as Snape, but also a delightful Sheriff of Nottingham in Robinhood, Prince of Thieves.
Indeed, prayers for his family.
Thanks for the ping!! Alan Rickman is my favorite actor [next to Bowie]. Can’t believe he’s gone too. What a week.
It may be obscure, but my favorite Rickman line comes from Sense and Sensibility. Two words:
“Command me.”
Just the way he says it, makes you forget it’s a movie and think it’s real. Colonel Brandon would do ANYTHING to save the young lady he loves. Or so, in that moment, you truly and with all your heart believe. (The screenplay writers were geniuses; that line never appears in the book.)
So sad.
Btw, Arthur, please expect a LONG overdue PM later on today. Sorry for the lag!
