Welcome to the

Alan Rickman Download Haven

Guest Book

The purpose of the Alan Rickman Download Haven Guest Book is for group discussion of Alan Rickman’s projects (old and new), news, information, and pictures.  Also welcome are questions, sightings, and reviews.

Our community is made up of many long-time members, and is continually joined by new AR fans.   As a new poster, you may want to browse our archives or lurk for a short while so you get a feel for our community.  We don’t have a lot of rules, but we do expect everyone to respect each other and to respect Alan Rickman.

When posting information or pictures you've found from other sources, please try to include credit for the hard working source that provided it.   Sometimes it may be impossible to remember where you found something and that is OK too because 9 times out of 10 another member will remember and post the information a little later.  

AR fandom sometimes suffers from what our group has fondly come to call “AR Drought”.  Its these times, we find solace by digging deep into our AR archives and posting an old piccie  (or two) and/or an old interview.  These always seem to generate good fun discussion and often brings back some wonderful memories for some of our members.

When you want to post thoughts about one of AR’s films, you might want to consider using a flag such as *SPOILER* before you write your thoughts just in case someone hasn’t seen the film and doesn’t want to know about it ahead of time.   The Harry Potter phenomenon is so huge, it has its very own place.  Please find the link to our HP Spoilers Forum below.  You’ll find lots of good discussion about plots and theories in the realm of Harry Potter. 

In addition, what’s a good friendship without some place to get as silly and squeely as humanly possible ?    Goodness knows AR gives us a lot to Squeeee about!  Our Alan Rickman Download Haven Discussion Party fits the bill for that particular part of our personality.  It’s a rip roaring party and there’s a lot of laughs and good times to be had by all.  We talk about anything and everything over there and would love to see your participation.   
Finally, our Alan Rickman Download Haven Live Chat Room is a place to shoot the breeze with other AR fans in realtime.  Pop in any time and you never know who you will run into or what the topic of discussion might be.  It’s a great way for our members to get to know each other a little better, and to continue conversations not specific to the main ‘on topic’ board in as much detail as they’d like.  Lots of  AR-admiration goes on and laughs are had in the chat room!

There is a fantastic group of Alan Rickman fans from all over the world represented here and each person adds to the fun in their very own way.

Lurking is welcome but we would love for you to post your comments when you feel comfortable.

The most important thing to keep in mind is......HAVE FUN!

If you have any problems posting,
please don't hesitate to email one of us
Claudia, GA   Sabine, GA  Sue, UK OR Ali-Pat, OH

Interesting, Dee--thanks for that!  I disagree with a lot of their rankings but I must confess that Bob Roberts is one of my guilty pleasures. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

I thought this rather interesting. It is the Rotten Tomatoes critique of Alan Rickman movies, including their graft of his ups and downs. They rank Bob Roberts the highest (really?) and Blow Dry the lowest. Overall they give him 20 ":fresh" movies and 9 "rotten" to a total of 69% on the Tomatoemeter. And his box office earnings since 2001: $1882.2M

Yes, a trip to Ireland is definitely in my future (I hope!).  Of course TWO of Alan's films were shot in Dublin (Michael Collins and An Awfully Big Adventure) so I would have to make a pilgrimage to those sites if I go.

In 2005 we went to Ireland and I loved it, too. But my favourites were the cliffs of Moher and county Kerry. I though that to be breathtaking. And also the peninsula Dingle.... Also Galway is a nice place to visit and Cork and I think Limerick, too (we just went through it). Unfortunately we were not able to visit Dublin, yet. We just went through it. It is a special country and I hope to be able to visit it again, some day.... and then visit Dublin, too. The Irish people are nice and I like their language (gaelic, difficult, though) and their music and dance (also because I play the celtic harp myself). Sorry for going on, but...... I am just enthousiastic.

Ohhhh, Ali-Pat, I wish I had some Irish blood in my veins, too. People and their country are amazing. I promise you you'll fall in love with both the moment you arrive in Dublin - in case you come let me know in advance and bring your green kilt

Thanks for the tip, Hikity.  I did a bit of reading on Ireland after I watched Michael Collins but I am always ready to learn moreI attribute it to the call of my distant Kelly ancestors.   (just imagine a green kilt on this little dude, okay?)

Believe it or not, Ali-Pat, on Saturday I wanted to buy Sebastian Barry's book and it was sold out! Now it's on my X-mas list, lol. In October I saw Barry's "Tales of Ballycumber" in the Abbey Theatre in Dublin and liked it very much. I suppose that his works are very Irish, Ali-Pat, i.e. it's always nice to know a bit about Ireland's history, e.g. the Irish Renaissance :-).

Thanks for that additional info about The Secret Scripture, Hikity--you reminded me I meant to add that to my reading list!

Here is an article from the Financial Times that mentions Alan's visit to Tbilisi in 2007.  Nice story--refreshes one's faith in the survival of the arts.

According to The Leaky Cauldron http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2008/12/13/purported-first-deathly-hallows-poster-fake-says-wb that poster is a fake. Beautiful, but a fake. Personally, I think the studio should make a deal with the creator because it's gorgeous!

I saw what looks like a movie poster for "Deathly Hallows" at an online newspaper site.  It was beautiful and had a silver doe out in a forest. Does anyone know if WB has released a poster like that yet or has someone made their own?  It looked fabulous!

rumour or ot rumour that is the question :-)

According to a report in The Sunday Tribune, Oscar winning actress Charlize Theron will be spending lots of time in Ireland next year, as she’s down to play the lead female role in the film version of the Sebastian Barry novel “The Secret Scripture.”

The paper says that the prolific Irish producer Noel Pearson is on board for the project, and is trying to line up the British actor Alan Rickman for one of the other main characters. 

Theron will play Roseanne McNulty, a 100-year-old mental patient who decides to write an autobiography, and she’ll age back in time for the role.

Thanks Always. Nice video.
Alan did a real good job.... Didn't say much, and signed. He IS nice, isn't he? And it was good to see Rima as well. It looks as if her hair is dark again. She looked nice, too. I liked the hair light, but this looks better on her. Well, IMHO then.
I like the Harry Potter DVD. The extras were wonderful, too. This is a good one, this film is, lots of Snape. And my compliments to Tom Felton.... he did such a good job. Fantastic!!!!!

Thanks for the butter beer link!  I'm excited to try that one. lol.  Another one I know of (and have tried) is on Mugglenet (( http://www.mugglenet.com/misc/rosmertas/butterbeer.shtml ))  It's pretty sugary, but I like it    If you're interested, they also have other HP recipe links!

Forgive me for going a bit off topic but thought some might be interested. I stumbled over a blog where the writer is humorously complaining because the Harry Potter books don't include a recipe for butter beer. So, she made up her own. It sounds yummy.

I loved the deleted scene too! I wonder if they edited it because you could read an awful lot in Snape's face. He's never been shown looking so vulnerable.  I'm expecting to see a lot more emotions like that in the last movie. I won't say any more, don't want to spoil the end for anyone!

Deleted HBP scene pulled from You Tube.  It's still up here ("prima scena tagliata"). Why was this scene cut from the movie?  Would have made the film so much better.

I can say i can live with the pillar not looking like Alan. I dont think Joe or Marvin looked like Alan either and i totally was engrossed in the movies anyways because i can imagine Alan doing the voice over. Isnt ( i have never seen Alice in Wonderland) the  pillar stoned?? Wonder what a stoned Alan would sound like, now ill know.

Can't see any resemblance at all, I mean, not like with Helena's character that shows her features in an exagerated way.
I had the impression that Alan said they would fit his head into the drawing.
