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

Vera, it looks like much more than a matter of lighting, IMHO. There's only the tiniest bit of gray around the temples in the EBay pic from last night's premiere - his hair is almost all one color. But look how much white his hair is around the sides of his hair in the one from last week's book party!  Definitely "two-tone". All we can do for now is wonder if he did it for a movie and if so, which one?

Thanks a lot, Charlotte. Yes, his hair does look a bit darker in the latest pics, but I'm not sure whether it isn't just a matter of lightning. I'm pretty sure that he wore the same shirt on both occasions, though.

And I forgot to say that the picture of AR from the book launch was taken last week, when his hair was still white.

Looking at this photo for sale on EBay from last night's sighting -- yes, AR's hair is no longer gray/white as it has been of late. Wonder what's up.

I just received my CD from Amazon.  I just ordered in on June 28th and it arrived today!!  I couldn't believe how fast I received it.  It was $15.54 with the shipping.  I can't wait to sit back tonight and listen.  I guess they didn't have space to add Alan's second story on the CD.

Hikity, I just bought the complete cd for £6.95. iTunes isn't the best site to find anything. I did a power search on Nelson Mandela's and the audio books tracks pop up but you have then click on "See All" to find the whole cd and as I said there are no track divisions on it so you'd have to listen to the whole thing to find all the tracks. I can't find that other track on iTunes for sale though.

Has anybody figured out how/where to buy this bonus track by AR?  It's supposed to be available only as a digital download but it doesn't show up anywhere that I can see so far. It's called "The Lion, the Hare and the Hyena" and is not on the audiobook.

http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/books_9781607880080.htm


And it's not surprising that "The Ring of the King" is the most popular of the downloaded tracks on iTunes!

I have just downloaded the whole cd all 3hours 43 minutes of it but there is just one problem it is not divided into tracks/stories!!
However am just this minute listening and after Archbishop Desmond Tutu's introduction (his voice always brings a smile to my face) the first story is AR's telling of the Ring and the King (at about 3:14).
Think I will put it on my iPod and sit in the garden at the weekend and listen to it all during our heatwave.

The entire Nelson Mandela's Favorite African Folk Tales is now available on iTunes, as well as "The Ring of the King". Has anyone found the bonus AR story anywhere yet?  It's supposedly only available as a digital download, but I don't see it on iTunes.

2 stories read by Alan? Why should they then not be on the audio - that's strange.

Amazon.de confirmed delivery time between 31 July and 3 August! I ordered the book, too, which mos prob arrives this week.

Strange, but the entire audiobook doesn't seem to be available to download on iTunes. It doesn't get officially released until July 1, so that may have something to do with it. But, on the other hand, the audiobook is already available to buy on Amazon, so it's a tad confusing.

Is there a link to the whole CD on iTunes? All I can find is the Ring and the King, is there a link to the rest of it plus that other AR track?

Maybe it's me, but I can't find it via search. Strad's link worked, though.

I wouldn't mind buying the CD, but only one of the two stories AR reads is on the CD. The other is available via iTunes only. A pity.

iTunes Store entry for "The Ring of the King"

And yes, you can just burn it to a CD and then rip it so you can play it on another media player. There's probably also some free 3rd party applications out there that can convert protected m4p files to whatever format you wish.

Charlotte 
06/30/09 at 02:06 PM

Comments:
Using "Power Search", search on Keyword "Nelson Mandela's Favorite African Folktales".  If you search on AR, it won't bring it up.

This should bring up two stand-alone tracks for purchase. AR reads "The Ring of the King".

Yes, iTunes purchases will only be playable on an iPod, no other portable device. However, I believe -- someone else might know for sure -- you can always play the downloads on your computer and burn to CD.

I can't find either of the two stories at iTunes. Which search words did you use?

And did I understand it right that iTunes files only work on a computer or an iPod, but not on a regular mp3 player?

Charlotte 
06/30/09 at 01:43 PM

Comments:

FYI:  The story that AR reads on "Nelson Mandela's Favorite African Folktales" is avialable to download on its own on iTunes. It's $1.95. Just passing this info along because I know money is tight these days and some might not be able to afford the entire audiobook.

This story made me laugh. The teacher who was JK Rowling's inspiration for Snape is trying to cash in on the action. He sort of looks like AR-as-Snape if you squint, but then, I think the scowl and the black robe are a bit much.

From the "Independent":

Quote:
Rickman rates Law's 'Hamlet'

Naturally, Pandora couldn't resist the chance to see Jude Law in the Wyndham Theatre's Hamlet. Neither, it seems, could Alan Rickman, who we spotted just a few seats away. But what did he make of Law's performance? "They all did well," Rickman said. "I've done it myself, so it is impossible to watch objectively, but I enjoyed it."

Hello Ladies,

BOTTLE SHOCK  is in video rental in Germany.

Yesterday, hubby and I went to our video rental store for some evening entertainment, the weather was just so bad and there it was - one (!) brand new copy of Bottle Shock sitting there on the shelf. I believe I made a rather undignified squeeking sound and then rushed to secure the chip, which lets you rent it, not that there was any competition for it. Hubby only rolled his eyes and asked if he got any say in the matter, which of course he didn't.
Later he even admitted, that he liked the film. It probably helped, that he does like wine and that there isn't that much of AR in it.
I enjoyed it tremendously even if there isn't enough AR in it and the story is sometimes a bit rushed.

Wishing you a perfect sunday,

rosi
