[QUOTE=lissener] It’s polite to let people know that a link you’ve provided goes directly to a video file so those of us with fewer bells and whistles can decide whether we want to freeze up our browser for several minutes. [/QUOTE] Why don’t you move the cursor over the link? Pretty simple way to tell what kind of file it is. ---

Don’t forget the lovely A.R. in January Man, co-starring Kevin Kline and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Mmmm, Alan Rickman. ---

I was wondering who loved Larry, Dharma’s dad. Then I watched the video and thought, _oh. the die hard guy. who’s dharma’s dad, then?_ So I Googled it, and it’s Alan _Rachins._ Ok, so, well, that’s it. ---

Alan Rickman rocked totally in _Closet Land_. He starred with Madeleine Stowe. Man, that was cool. That was when I got a \*huge \* crusheroo. Some movie, baby. Look it up. ---

OK, Rickman, exceptionally talented actor, mostly sits in a car for 3+ minutes not even changing his facial expression and everyone drools. Screen precence is an unmeasurable thing. ---

Woohoo! I love that video. If only the song was replaced with Alan Rickman talking, it would be perfect. Wow, he’s hot. ---

[/QUOTE] One of the worst movies ever made, but I’d watch it again in a second for Rickman’s performance. He was the only one who “got” what kind of movie he was in; everyone else tried to do it with a straight face. ---

I’m on dial-up, so can’t check out the vid, but this is the Texas vid _In Demand_ we’re talking about, yes? Much as I like Rickman, I’m afraid that vid is all Sharleen for me. ---

Ohhhh…(lustful shudder) I never thought Alan Rickman was sexy. Until this video. Oh my gawd. Damn! I literally (yes, literally!) nearly had an orgasm. I’m gonna have to take a little break… ---

[QUOTE=Hal Briston] So, wait…who the hell was driving the car?? [/QUOTE] I definitly saw a chauffeur at the end of the video when they pull up to the hotel(?). I didn’t see anyone driving at nighttime, but the driver _was_ wearing a black suit and hat. I love Alan Rickman too, since I saw him in the BritCom “Shelley” on PBS years ago. He’s still got it. I’m still drooling… ---

[/QUOTE] Apparently ‘and bring a friend’ was a Rickman ad-lib! 🆒 I also believe that Costner had Rickman’s performance cut in that film, because it made Costner look feeble. :rolleyes: ---
