I would love to receive a smirk from Alan! I would probably faint on the spot.

Oooh. Is that you in your signature, Toni?

Tint would be like... if you wanted the picture to be in black or white, or look a bit green, like this one:



You can have it say a Slytherin phrase or something about Alan.

That’s cool that u have his autograph...i was going to write to him, i have his fan address thingy, but i didn’t know what to say, and all i could think to write was something lame that made me sound like an obsessed fan, which i must admit i am not, i do find him most interesting though from his theatrical point of view, but I’d pick Snape over Alan any day...he's just so mean and sexy with that black hair and sallow skin and yummy yummy!!!...Maawahhh…I must be crazy…”He’s a made up character for god’s sake"…I swear My Boyfriend would dump me if he knew how much I loved Snape…lol

Toni!

My hubby would be through with me if he knew exactly how obsessed I am too.
When I wrote to Alan, I just told him how long I'd been a fan, what film I liked him in best and why (not about how sexy he is, just the quality of acting [didn't want to scare him])
I also asked a few questions about his career, keeping out anything that consitutes a private life.
And although I didn't get a personal letter, he did self address the envelope. (And I still have it, he has beautiful handwriting.)

I suspected he would have beautiful handwriting...

I am so proud of Jason for already signing up to stay for OotP! He is extroardinary as Lucius and I'm sure the lot of us can't wait to see him in that mysterious faceless mask.

Yes, Terrence Higgs was indeed delicious in that movie... ooh, thank you! You gave me an idea for my fanfiction as well!

I envy the girl who plays Pansy Parkinson though, she gets to be a Slytherin and all. Grr.

I know she really is lucky…I wish I had the experience of acting in a Harry Potter movie…
It must be so much fun, I took this Theatre course last year and it was the best…I’m, really into Theatrical aspects…

Rickmansmissus

I've been with my partner 9 years come March. And yes that's me in my sig.

That's a wicked avatar you got there, Rickmansmissus. Did you make it yourself?

Alas, I am currently working on a HG/SS fic right now. Go me.

My friend's sister made me the avatar. I think HP Lexicon has how old Severus is.
Can't wait for HBP, not long till we find out it's release yay!

Ah. I didn't even understand your question before Rickmansmissus said something, whomeisi.

In the sixth book he shall be 36. He is 20 years older than the trio, as are James, Lily, Remus, Sirius, Peter, Narcissa, and many others. While Lucius is 42 in the sixth book.

Hope I helped.

BTW, I posted my fanfic on fanfiction.net, my author page is here if any of you are interested in reading any Slytherin stories: Astrea Von Hurston

About the Pansy Parkinson actor... why in earth she is not cast in the four? Do you know? Pansy P. was the Yule Ball partner to Draco Malfoy, is that so that we can't see Tom Felton in the Yule Ball scene!?! Have you others notice this? I want to see Tom dancing!

I think they might have a new one…Pansy I mean. I personally thought she looked nothing like Jkr described her…where was her plug face an all… and she looked real young compared to Mr Draco and she, I do believe, had a very strong welsh ascent…or was it more Scottish? …And I don’t remember that in the books…saying that I don’t think Jkr really talks much about her (Pansy) so I guess its all guess work for the produces to get what they think matches…

Ha… I can’t wait to see them all dance…and Hermione, oh I bet she looks real pretty…even though the guy that’s playing Krum is…coughnotcutecough…Maybe Snape will take over from that Krum guy and show Hermione how to really dance…we all know he can (In demand)…I must say we’d all have a far few fan-fictions to write if that happened!

Later Toni

And a little Christmas joy, board to board...From Severely Slytherin

I don't own the DVD, but I have seen the movie. Ah, Alan is so lovely.

*raises hand in the air* me, me! I own a copy

The commentry is quite funny on the Love Actually dvd, there is a comment made about Alan having a rinse in his hair.

I have heard that he is quite serious and professional in his work. Tim Allen mentioned in an interview on the Galaxy Quest dvd, that he and one of the other guys were messing around, and Alan and Sigourney Weaver were getting annoyed.

Hey Guys, do you think Professor Snape’s got a wife…kids? Wouldn’t that be funny if he did… oh my gosh, I wonder if any one could put up with him though, but he might be all kind underneath…I doubt we’ll ever know…unless we find out some more about him in these next to books!!…Oh I hope so!

Toni!

I doubt that Snape has a wife and kids, but heck if he does, I'd be first in line to play opposite Alan.

Right now I am dancing with joy as I'm getting Quigley on dvd for Christmas. (I've got a copy, but it's what I taped off the telly. My copy of January Man is from the telly too)

Oh, I don't know...I kind of like the idea of Snape having a family - that's what I based my fanfic on actually. I think he's the sort of man who would be deeply committed and very protective of his family to the extent almost where no one in Hogwarts - other than the teachers, of course - would even know that they existed. And JKR did drop a very strange little hint about teacher's spouses in one of her webchats. I'll try and dig it out if anyone's interested but I'm still rather leaning to the possibility that Voldemort did something to Snape's family and that's why he returned to DD.

BTW, Alan must have the most stoical nature of anyone alive...how can anyone keep a straight face with Rowan Atkinson? The guy's a genius....remember Blackadder?

I doubt that JKR would give Severus a family. Personally I like reading fics where he has a family.
I agree with you Louise where he would be comitted and protective of his family.
It is a very good theory on why he returned to DD.

I would love to read the web chat if you can dig it up.

O...M....G....I think I've died and gone to heaven.....

I've just seen Dark Harbor.....oh my....talk about all my fantasies about Alan Rickman being rolled up into one perfect little film.....

Wednesday, mate....you'd absolutely love it....I won't say anymore 'cos it'll spoil it for you, but trust me, it is SO worth getting!! And it's a PG, so your parents should let you get away with it!!!

EDIT : Ooh, BTW, that chat where JKR alludes to teacher's spouses is HERE, it's about three quarters of the way down. And I loved 'Fruit Loops'!!! OMG!!!! I'm going to read the other one tonight and I'll let you know!! I love Snape and family fics...they're soo sweet!!

Thanks for posting that Louise, very interesting Hmm you could be on to a thing about Severus' family and the return to DD. I guess we'll find out more in the next book.
HG/SS 'Twas the night before Christmas' sickly sweet fan fic


EDIT : [COLOR=yellow] I hope everyone had a great Christmas. One of my favourite gifts was Quigley on DVD, did anyone else get AR or SS stuff?

I got a Slytherin tee, but I don't know if tall black platform boots count as Slytherin or Snape like...

Oooh! Luck has given me my late Christmas present! I was browsing through the guide on my cable television, looking through the 'D's as usual (searching for Dogma, of course, a daily ritual of mine) and you should have seen my face when I discovered that the lovely Comedy Central was playing it that very night! Edited, of course.

I put large signs all over the house and my bedroom, saying, "TURN ON TV AT 10:00, CHANNEL 65!" I had rehearsal that night and would die if I missed it. So, that night as I'm watching it (and recording it in the living room), I go through another alphabetical search for any more Rickman movies, hoping maybe I'll still be lucky.

Then, what do you know, Truly, Madly, Deeply is playing the next morning at five. Well, it was already midnight when I learned this, and I knew I would not get much sleep that night (oh well), so I set up my alarm clock and put my television on reminder.

I got to sleep and wake up at 4:30 a.m., which probably means that my brain was paying attention to me again, and so I saw the movie and found it was brilliant and touching. I cried a bit at the end, either because the movie was so good, or because of the whole "monthly" thing, which may have been true.

Then, I found out they were playing Dogma again at seven that night.

Oh yes, I am making a comeback. I'm still waiting for Blow Dry to show up now.

Aw...yay for Wednesday!!! **tee hee** Some Christmas you had then!!! I'm sooo glad to know that I'm not the only one who gets obsessions soooo badly that I've been known to stick post-its all over the house to remind me when films are on too..

I bought BlowDry just before Christmas and I'm very glad I did...it's a lovely film and I just lurve his tattoo, although I really can't imagine anyone enduring the pain that it would take to have one put there....(yeah, I know it's fake... )

Have you seen Michael Collins yet? Not only is it a seriously excellent film, but, cheesy accent notwithstanding, he's very good in that. I love the bit where he's locked in the cell and he can hear the people being executed outside and he knows that's what's waiting for him too and he gets this little shiver and far away look in his eyes....and then the bit where he cries because he realises how awful the thing is that he has to do.....wow.

Alan is such a modern legend. There's just no one else like him.

I really wish he would do an official biography though because I don't want to get the unofficial one. Not only does he refuse to have anything to do with it, it's had terrible reviews anyway so I won't but it on principle. I'd really like to know more about him though. Not in a creepy way...I'm not interested in his private life per se....that's his business....just a little bit about his life and his thoughts and opinions, that's all....

i dont know what it was but i remeber watching, or maybe reading somthing on English actors, and like Alan Rickman was part of it, didnt he like lose his farther at a very young age? and like the reason for him talking in that sexy way he does is because he had a bad case of "lock jaw" when he was little?
i think it was an article i read, i was living in England at the time so it would of been 2 or 3 years ago, i think it had somthing to do with Harry Potter, as it was talking about the guy who plays Hagrid and some others...i think it had a big Harry Enfiled bit in it too, i swear i love that dude! he's so funny, when he does "Kevin"...do any of you Brits know what am going on about?...anywho,,, i may be thinking of somthing else...

hey Wensday i got a cool tee too, from Hot Topic...hahahaha. i think they got me it was a joke...but am still gonna wear it...

you know that book about Alan Rickman...this summer i was in england and i was in WHSmiths i sat down for like 5 mins and tryed to read it but my friends wouldnt let me as they wannted to shop...but yeah if its all a load of crap am glad i didnt waste my time...maybe we should write him and tell him to write us a book about his career...it would be intersting.

ttyl Toni!

I own a copy of that particular biography and now wish I never brought it. I got it when I went through an Alan dry spell. (I couldn't find any Alan stuff anywhere) anyhow, I got desperate and brought it cause of the pics. I would never allow Alan to know I own a copy.
I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone. There is so much hearsay in there that you can't believe a word of it.

On to happier news, I have seen Michael Collins, and I adore it. Alan was so enigmatic in the role of DeValera.
If you're wondering where to see images of Snape smiling. Check out the extras on the POA dvd. In some of the behind the scenes stuff you actually see Alan in full Snape get up laughing.
(I own a copy of the Australian dvd, I can't verify if it is on others)

Yes! I have seen Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves! Alan was absolutely marvelous and gorgeously evil (if that makes sense). I am just appalled by the fact that Mariam ('Tis her name, right?) actually went for Robin instead of the Sheriff, there must have been something wrong with her.

Wednesday, I've taken a snapshot of the tattoo from Blow Dry, the tattoo is called 'the flashing scissors' if you see the movie you'll know what it means.

AR's tatt in Blow Dry

Speaking of Robin Hood, I watched my Mother in laws special edition today, and the second disk has an AR interview. And if you've ever heard rumours about Alan hating Kevin Costmer you might change your mind when you see this! it is quite scary considering that both Alan and Kevin are still in costume.

Ooh, that was a nice piccy!! I taped Robin Hood when they showed it on the Sci-Fi channel here a couple of weeks ago, but if there's an AR interview on the special edition, looks like I'm heading on over to Amazon again right now!!

That biography...what are the pics like in it? Any good? Or are they just more or less what you'll find on the internet anyway? The thing is, I am kinda curious about it, but if Alan disapproves, then I don't really want to be supporting it, you know? I think that's my duty as a loyal AR fan, huh?

BTW, I love that siggie, Ruby!!! Another one you made yourself?

*sigh* I have to admit to being a little in love with Jason too after watching Peter Pan over Christmas...

I was very sorry to hear about Ralph's Dad though.....what an awful time of the year to lose someone. I couldn't believe some of the comments I read from people on the main site who were worried that it might hold up filming. I mean, how callous can you get? For God's sake, the guy has just lost his father....does it really matter if GoF is delayed a little? It's only a film, after all....this is real life. I can't believe people sometimes. Talk about screwed priorities.....

I really sympathize for Ralph and his brother, losing someone is hard.

I was on Jason Isaacs' website-thingy the other day and he had written a letter to someone and it was so amusing. He's a witty guy.

Ooh, the tattoo is on the bottom of his foot? I love it!

Okay, okay, I'm going to be egocentric again. If any of you want to see my Slytherin music video, just PM me. Muahaha.

I am random... darn it.

Aw, I wanna see it!!! Please post the link!!! Pretty please?!

**oops, I'm begging again....not very Slytherin-like, was it? **

I didn't know that Jason Isaacs had his own site either! Could you post the link for it?

It was quite a long time ago when I saw the fansite, but hopefully I saved it to my favorites. Ah, gah! How about a site where you can write to Severus and Lucius and ask them whatever you want? It is really quite funny.

~*~Silver Serpents~*~

Alright, and about the video, I had to delete that temporarily on the site I was keeping it on to make space for the S.P.E.L.L. video, but maybe I can make another account for it...

Here's the link for the video, tell me if it works.

Yep, it's another sig I made myself I'm addicted to Jason after seeing him in three of my favourite films, (COS, Peter Pan and The Patriot) who can go past those gorgeous ice blue eyes and that smile (I'd better stop before I faint dead away) and he is a really funny guy. Have you seen the 'Through Captain Hook's eyes' video he made on the set of Peter Pan?

I love your sig Louise, where did you get it?

Wednesday, I can't see the video

You don't have Quicktime, R? Or did I mess up the link?

I have Peter Pan, I'm going to go watch it now. You know, I fell in love with Hook before I even knew it was Jason.

What's this 'Through Captain Hook's Eyes'? Is it on the DVD? So confused...

There was a problem with the link, Wednesday.

On the dvd, in the special features, in the pirate ship section, you can view Jason Isaacs filming behind the scenes stuff with his camcorder.
I don't know if it's on other dvd's but it's on the Australian one.

Here's let try the hard way.

Go here and enter SadisticSeverus as the username, and snivellus as the password. Then go to "Inbox", and click "Play" to see the video. Long, but not too hard.

Cool video, Wednesday. What programs did you use to make it? I use windows movie maker, it's not bad, but I like a huge range of options.
