Pier Six Brawler Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Arguably the greatest British actor of all time. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 14, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 14, 2016 Fuuuck. This really sucks. Â Â RIP. Â I know he's done shitloads, but for me he will always be Hans Gruber and the Sheriff of Nottingham foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2016 Fuck sake. What a brilliant British actor. I always think of him as part of a little elite club with Gary Oldman, Kenneth Branagh and Jeremy Irons. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 14, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 14, 2016 Also, this seems as good as time any to admit I like Galaxy Quest and will be rewatching it in light of this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Bloody hell, this one is a punch in the stomach. Â Dreadful, horrible news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Somewhere there's a parallel universe where Rickman is playing Lister and Hugh Laurie is Rimmer. Both originally read for the roles. Â Rickman loved the script but couldn't commit to more than 1 series before doing Die Hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pier Six Brawler Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Shocked to read that he was never even nominated for an Academy Award. Just shows how fucked up and out of touch the Oscar people are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted January 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2016 Really sad news. Stole nearly every film he was in. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bettencourt Posted January 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2016 Also, this seems as good as time any to admit I like Galaxy Quest and will be rewatching it in light of this news. Â It's currently doing a run on Sky Movies. It was shown on Tuesday. Even as cheesy a line as it is, the retort "To see if there's a pub!" still gets a chuckle out of me.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just running through all the roles he played - I think I've decided that he was my favourite actor. At the very least, I've seen films with Rickman in major roles more than any other films. I've probably seen die hard and prince of thieves more than any other films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 14, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 14, 2016 Galaxy Quest is great. Â My favourite Rickman line is probably from Harry Potter. How he was able to throw so much menace and spite into a line as seemingly innocuous as "turn to page 394" is baffling and brilliant. Â He did a wonderful poetry reading that turned into a TV special with Emma Thompson called 'The Song Of Lunch' that really showed what a fantastic voice he had. I would have loved to have seen him on stage. Â RIP Alan Rickman. What a shit week this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
