A real shame. I thought he had his best work still ahead of him.

He's not dead. He's.. up to something.

I was convincrd it was a prank when I first saw it.

Damn 2016...

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 8:11 pm

wow... Another surprise! He had so many memorable roles! Alexander Dane in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0177789/ had to be one of my favorite roles he played. "By Grabthar's hammer!"

I will miss him...

What the [censored]. That svcks.

I just watched that movie a few days ago. I watch it often. I think it's one of the best comedy films of the past twenty years. He was an extremely talented actor who brought something very special to every role I ever saw him in. This is truly shaping up to be a sad year.

Damn, I liked him. He did "evil/bad" so well. Good actor. RIP good sir.

And we are only half a month in.

Lemmy, Bowie, Rickman. All about the same age, all cancer, all within about a fortnight.

Right now svcks.

RIP, Alan Rickman, what a bad start to the new year.

Why is everyone dying? :nope:

RIP Rickman.

Damn. R.I.P .. i don't get why January is this bad right now.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 10:54 am

Lemmy, (Michel Delpech, Michel Galabru, Pierre Boulez in France), Bowie, Rickman, who's next? :nope:

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 3:56 pm

I Just found and again I didn't know Rickman had cancer. RIP Rickman.

I didn't know this! This news really saddens me. I've been collecting Boulez recordings for years on Deutsche Grammophon and other labels, on vinyl records and cassette tape and CDs. I couldn't guess how many hours I've spent listening to Le marteau sans ma?tre and Répons. Boulez and Stochausen were two of my favorite 20th Century composers.

I had the privilege of seeing him conduct sections of Pli selon pli with the New York Philharmonic in the seventies. He was usually thought of as a "cold" conductor but not that night. That night the performace was full of fire.

I will surely miss him greatly.

He'll be missed. Loved him in Dogma and Truly, Madly, Deeply. He (usually) managed to be pretty good even when the film was bad.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 7:43 am

I think I first noticed him in Dogma, and after that it was always a plus to see him in any role. He was like a guarantee that, worst case, I would enjoy at least one thing in the movie. Great actor.

So many great and talented people are dying in fast repetition..... I feel I'm becoming numb to it and I feel so guilty for feeling that way. I liked his roles because he always seemed to make them his own. I only hope he has a towel with him when he's laid to rest.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 10:58 am

69 is a bad age in 2016 it seems.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 7:16 pm

Damn.. I didn't even know he was ill. I'm quite honestly baffled by this.. he's one whose time I didn't expect to be coming to an end. Aside from Die Hard and Harry Potter, I've seen glimpses of him in other movies but I was never too familiar with them. As a big Harry Potter fan, he became a recognizable figure to me and I always thought of him as a cool guy.. my mom said she always loved him too, and I'm sure my aunt on her side will be hit by this too.

I don't know what else to really say. Good bye Severus .

I remember him as the king of the ye ol' time fair on King of the Hill.

"I shall purchase thy gas."

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 11:16 am

Damn this svcks man.

RIP.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 8:40 pm

I liked him in Die Hard. "I'm sorry, I must have missed 60 Minutes". :rofl:
