RIP Alan Rickman

[Drunk Monk]

I was going to grab my Slytherin scarf today because it's chilly and I'm still a little travel sick.  I'm very sad that I forgot it.

I am an exceptional thief.

I was shocked and saddened by this. And all the star testimonials show that he was classy and supportive of his co-workers. 

I know I first saw him in Die Hard, but I think I first started paying attention in Sense and Sensibility - he has the great opener of "The air was full of spices." His performance was subtle yet it kind of drove the story; Emma Thompson later said that Brandon is the real hero of the story. (I have to admit that this is one of my all-time favorite films, which causes much mockery from my wife.) No doubt you have other favorites - Galaxy Quest is certainly one of his greats, and possibly the story of his work in Hollywood as well.
