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

Haven't been on for a while, as have been so busy with work. To come on to find the terrible news about Suzanne. I can only echo the thoughts and feelings of everyone else, she was a lovely lady, so kind and generous. The world has turned a little colder today........

Cribbed this from a poster on Page 394--it is certainly worth sharing:

 

Parts of this prestigious historic building have been transformed for a forthcoming feature film, provisionally entitled A Little Chaos, which is scheduled to film here between Thursday 25 April and Wednesday 8 May 2013.


'A Little Chaos'
is a sumptuous love story set in the 1680's, amidst the building of the gardens at the Palace of Versailles.  Andre Le Notre, renowned landscape architect, has been commissioned by King Louis XIV to design gardens that will show to the world that France offers a new unprecedented level of human sophistication.


Under intense pressure, Le Notre makes a surprising choice for one of his key designers - a woman.  Sabine de Barra seems to represent the opposite of everything Le Notre, believes in - his gardens are based on rigid symmetry and order; her designs embrace spontaneity and, in his eyes, a little chaos.

Waddesdon Manor will fulfill a key role in the film, playing the part of the Palace of Fontainebleau.  The Marble Dining Room and Breakfast Room will play the interiors scripted as a royal receptipn and The Blue Dining Room plays for the lead role's Bedroom.

It is perhaps worth noting that production fees are a major contributor to the huge investments necessary for the crucial upkeep of our nation's most important historic houses and palaces.  We hope we haven't inconvenienced you in any way and thank you for your interest and understanding.

More "A Little Chaos" pictures. So great that we get to see some of those as the production moves forward. Can't wait to see the movie. Or "CBGB" or "The Butler" or "A Promise" - or "Gambit" for a matter of fact. In Germany the latter won't be released until June. So much to look forward to.

I'm so jazzed seeing the photos and poster for CBGB.  As a teenager I loved punk rock and dreamed of going to CBGB's.  I went to New York right after college and begged my friend to take me there, but the area sort of frightened me and we left after I hurriedly snapped a photo.  But I'm definitely looking forward to this movie--for AR and the great music!

Very exciting!  I am so pleased this film is finally being made and I look forward to seeing it (along with CBGB and, er, The Butler).

I am so surprised by this news... I recently emailed Suzanne, just a couple of months ago, and we were able to talk. She was such a kind, thoughtful and wonderful person... this is very sad news, and she will definitely be missed, not just by us on this site but many people.

My condolences to Suzanne's family. I was saddened also by the news, as it was one of my first journeys into the world of Alan Rickman where I learned so many things about him through the countless entries and the site provided by Suzanne and all the others.

I lurked more than posted, but considered Suzanne a friend as well as all the other familiar names here.

May she rest in peace.
Love always,
Pam

You can read an obituary for Suzanne Kurtz here in the online Houston Chronicle. 

There is also a link in the obit to a Legacy page where you can leave further comments.  I don't know if Suzanne's parents look at this or any AR website but they are likely to look at the Legacy site.

Services for Suzanne are today, April 17.

I'm very saddened by this news.  Suzanne's Alan Rickman Guestbook and resume were breaths of heaven when I first found them way back when.  I never had the good fortune to meet her, but I will never forget her and how much her site added to my life.

This weekend the world of Rickman fandom lost a true and gentle spirit, a great welcoming presence, a pioneer fansite administrator.  Suzanne Kurtz of the Alan Rickman Fan Page and Guestbook passed away.  Many of you knew her through emails and some were even lucky enough to attend a performance of Private Lives with her in 2002.  She was quite a lady.  I am at a loss...

I have no further details but will post when I learn more.

Amusing (if cliched) bit from the May 2013 edition of Empire, p.26:

"On the Radar
Alan Rickman is an exceptional actor.  And since he's moving up to directing A Little Chaos you should be more polite."

... and of course a photo of Snape accompanies.

If the final film is true to the screenplay I read, there are comedic elements.  But I wouldn't call the whole film a comedy--light drama, perhaps. 

And why the Snape photo?  Attention grabber?  Lack of imagination?

Jim Barrett, whose winemaking story was the basis for the film, Bottle Shock, passed away recently and NPR's "All Things Considered" featured a story on him.  You can read the story an there is a short clip of Alan's voice (as Steven Spurrier) in the download here.
