A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

A minute's thought suggests that the very idea of this is stupid. A more detailed examination raises the possibility that it might be an answer to the question "how could the Germans win the war after the US gets involved?" - Captain Seafort, in a thread proposing a 1942 'D-Day' in Quiberon Bay

Well, RIP Mr Rickman and thank you. You'll be greatly missed.
frankly I'm not surpriced really, most of these people seemed to born during or within a decade of WWII which was a really large generation so there's alot of celebrities who are of that generation (it doesn't help that alot of the younger celebs don't seem as memorble as the ones from this generation).
still it's a shame to see him go, he had that one specific character type (the intelligent if a bit arrogant bad guy) nailed down perfectly.

I think I actually saw Rickman in Quigley Down Under before Die Hard. While playing more for Sellick, he did give us, what I consider, one of the best gunfights in movie history. Damn that film is underrated and Rickman really helped sell it.
Loved the guy in pretty much anything. And he wasn't a tight-ass either. It was great to see him in movies like Dogma and Galaxy Quest. And Something the Lord Made goes down as one of my all-time favorite movies as I'm a sucker for those types.

No one. He was the 3rd. Lemmy Kilmister, David Bowie, Alan Rickman.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.
