All these films prompt another Rickman pic:

Oh for goodness' sake! I'm not going to read another book for a month at this rate! 😆

Dogma is brilliant! And Rickman is definitely the highlight.

Can only second this!
Another one to rewatch :-)

I had to google who Gisborne was

And dang, that right there is the Hugh D'Ambray visualization if I ever saw one!

And since that's going to be the next project to be written by the Andrews duo, I am very happy with the image.

And then get Richard Armitage to narrate the audiobook? 😁

I second that!! :)

[Sonia]

That would be awesome. But Hugh's voice is Steve West. Maybe if they go the full cast route?

[Kat]

This is all going over my head lol. Even have to Google what my team name means.

You're all debating Alan Rickman's best movie and I'm thinking, "I'll bet a Grinch Mimosa would be good..."

this was my first thought and goodness I love him in this! I mean he's brilliant in everything but this was where he truly stood out to me. I was an impressionable young 13 year old watching this with my mom. good times...

He absolutely broke my heart in that one! My second favourite of his roles!

[Melindam]

I could never read about Colonel Brandon objectively after that film. I adored him. :)

[Sammy]

My re-watch list meanwhile is getting out of control... And half of it is Rickman! 😆

(to be fair, I firmly believe him to be one of the greatest actors of all time, so quite aside from other considerations, I enjoy watching and re-watching his movies at any time!)

Fair enough. You know he is one of my contenders as Sam Vimes. ;)

[Melindam]

Scratch that... he is the only one!!!!

[Audrey Jane]

Ooh, thank you mods for putting me on Kylo Ren's team ! I really like Adam Driver :D You've been consulting your crystal ball again, didn't you ;)
I love his skit on SNL as undercover boss - it's hilarious !

Apparently we are psychic like that. 😉

I'm psyched to be on Kylo Ren too (the team, although, hmm..) - and I actually drink that drink! Mods definitely had their crystal balls cooking for this uno. We'll be opening the team thread soon :)

I lucked out. I was in London in 1991 and got to see him in Tango at the End of Winter. Bloody brilliant on stage as well.

His Colonel Brandon makes me happy every time I watch that film.

[Melindam]

Oh wow, Jenny!! :)

Guy of Gisborne is open!

Come to join and / or enjoy some Richard Armitage :D

[Sammy]

So I'm now listening to Bryan Adams crooning away in the end credits of Prince of Thieves.

This movie was also responsible for sparking a pretty serious teenage crush on Christian Slater. Grew out of that one eventually, but nostalgia can be fun, lol.

Enough time wasted not reading for one day. I have books to go finish! 😆

[Laura]

Lestat's Corpse Reviver is open for business!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]
