Before I get into the next round of this Pointless Exercise, just a word about the actor Alan Rickman, who died yesterday.
I can confirm that he did knot feature on Thoughtful Man’s ‘CD of Death‘. However, I did meet him, briefly, in the early 90s when I accidentally stepped on his foot whilst collecting my tickets at the Criterion theatre box-office, for that evening’s performance of ‘Misery‘.
He was very gracious when I turned to apologise; it made my night seeing Hans Gruber and the Sheriff of Nottingham in the flesh.
Anyhoo… let’s get on with the post…

I don’t want this post to be too long… Sew, the next Head–toe–Heed question follows shortly. Find out then whether Kobayashi Maroon will need to be deployed by yours truly (Hint. Yes it does). In the meanwhile, have a Song…

Lovely video clip. Lovely film. I think I seriously fancied him.

Do you know, I never realise just how many parts he portrayed. Probably because he portrayed the part rather than himself.

Rickman will be forever remembered for his portrayal of Gruber.

Absolutely, JP. For me he redefined the movie villain in blockbuster films that would follow:

I went to see Die Hard with my mum at Leicester Square, on a cold and wet Sunday afternoon in November. When we emerged from the dark, into the dark afterwards, I felt all toasty inside. I absolutely loved all the action and one liners, but the line I liked the best was delivered by Hans Gruber…
Tbh, as much as a enjoyed the Die Hard movies that followed, they were never quite as good because Alan Rickman wasn’t in them.

Ah, Huge:O. I’m just about to explain in 4.1 (should be posted later tonight). But in case I forget, shambles are sumtimes like that. Hears Sheldon and Penny to explain the kobayashi part:
Oh course, any parallel universe jumping Essex Girl wears some maroon 😉
Cheers! CYL
