Of course, the first thread in the "Casting Call" forum HAD to be devoted to Mr. Rickman! What did my fellow Rickman fanciers think of PoA? More to the point, what about that glorious shot of my darling Severus laying unconscious ON THE BED? *fans self* So beautiful, yet so sad... ^___^

The Snitch's image uploader is being a poo at the moment, so no new pictures... But feel free to post whatever you wish. As is truly the case with Mr. Rickman, the more the merrier!

Oh count me in when it comes to Alan Rickman and Snape love

Snape wasn't in it much but the scene's he had where wonderful.

I never seen someone put so much contempt and loathing is a sentence like 'turn to page 394'! You can leave that up to Rickman!! And his littl-miss-know-it-all scene with Hermione was great! I loved how she didn't blink and in that way stood up to him.
I liked the marauders map incident with Harry, the map was just like I imagined. And the look on Snapes face when Harry read that he had to keep is big ugly nose out of it was priceless. What I found a pity is that it wasn't really made clear who made that map and what the connection was with the other characters.
I enjoyed the Shrieking Shack scene between Snape, Black and Lupin a lot. You could just feel the hate and loathing Snape had for them. That was some great acting from all of them!
Interesting to see Snape defending the Trio from Lupin the werewolf. Does this mean that they want to make clear he has a less darker side to him?

Ah, Beloved Alan. We never see enough of him. I really had been looking forward to the scene where he loses his rag in the infirmary about Black escaping while Fudge thinks he's nuts and DD just tries to stifle his amusement at Sevvie's rage. AND THEY CUT IT! It would have been Alan in his prime. (Oooh, come hither, Darling, I can make you forget all about Black...)
You can put away your sticks, Tess, I'm just kidding!

I knew that when I would come to the renewed Snitch there already would be a Rickman thread created by Tess

I thought he was fabolous in the movie. Truly wonderful. I loved the whole lesson with him. He just has a great way of potraying Snape!

Oh, and we definitly have to get all those wonderful pictures uploaded again!

oh did someone say pictures?
just to excuse I needed to post my favorite Alan Rickman and Snape pics

I love the new promo pics. I haven't seen them around much, but I think they are better then the pic they used for the official wallpaper.


and some of my favorite Alan Rickman pics:

Filchescat thought Snape rallied as well... His character was probably moment by moment the most well done in the movie..."But I'll do my best." Said in a classic slow surly Snape snarl...perhaps the most well written line of the movie...

P.S. DTR, Filchescat also feels that the "Snape is a Vampire" thread needs revived...He sure didn't like the sunlight...

m,

I have only one thing to say: BORN SNAPE..this says everything i think

Sel

Well, I have to say Alan is an amazing Snape, but hot as him? Okay, maybe...but not compared to this -



or this -



I'm telling you, Alan Rickman in Dogma - Phwoar.

*gazing at pics* Aaaaahhh yes... So lovely... Thank you very much Tessie dearest, you have made me into an Alan Rickman maniac... My friend Steven and I were at the movie yesterday and we were watching and I'm like, "Actually, I find Snape kind of sexy" and he's all, "Dude, what is UP with you and teachers?!" ...

By the way, I love that one of him in the cape. So lovely. *pets*

*sheepishly* Is it bad that I kind of wish I had been there in the werewolf scene so that Snape could be protecting me in a backward-huggish sort of way? lol

oooh, no! You could have goosed him!
But I can't get excited about the cape one, I just think he's posed like Pajama Sam. Snape in jammies would be nice! Say, he does appear in jammies somewhere...is it only in GOF when Moody/Crouch breaks into his office? Wanna bet they cut that scene, too!

SNAPE IN JAMMIES?!?!?! *dies* If that even exists and if they choose to take it out well then they're going to have a stampede of Snape freaks like us protesting it!! lol

hhhhmmm snape in jammies. Sound good. Probably all black and only wearing trousers and no top.

I found this nice report of AR at a charity showing of POA.

YCTV Charity Screening

and Q/A with Alan Rickman

London, 3rd June 2004

" After watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the first time on Monday afternoon in the huge Odeon Cinema on Leicester Square, we went to the YCTV (Youth Culture TV) Charity Screening to watch the movie again on Thursday. A special surprise guest was announced to join us after the screening to discuss the movie and answer questions from the audience.

It turned out to be Alan Rickman - Professor Snape - who first apologized to all the kids in the cinema that he hadn't been able to bring Harry, Hermione and Ron along with him. He explained that Daniel Radcliffe couldn't come (which was a big disappointment for my daughter) because he was already shooting the next movie, Goblet of Fire. Emma Watson and Rupert Grint had school exams the very next day (aah! being a teenage film star doesn't mean exception from this torture that every kid has to go through *g*).

So... it was Professor Snape's duty to answer all these questions from a mostly juvenile audience, and Mr. Rickman did his best, sometimes needing help from the YCTV moderator when he didn't get all the Harry Potter details straight.

He was asked how much he was involved in how the Snape scenes were shot in PoA and he explained that indeed he had a good discussion about that with Alfonso Cuaron. In the scene where Snape arrives in the DADA classroom as replacement for Lupin, it was Alan's idea to shut the windows with his wand - which gives the scene an even more impressive effect.

He explained that he had invented Snape in the first movie and was involved from the beginning in discussions about how he would look etc. "He takes over your life a bit." Looking for hints in the books how to play Snape, he liked JK Rowling's description of him barely speaking above a whisper.

He said the scene in the Shrieking Shack took 10 days to film, and after every take they had to rearrange all the dust on the floor to wipe out the footprints and drag marks.

He was asked by a boy about his favourite scene when Snape gets angry with Harry. He said that it was the very first scene in the Philosopher Stone. And he did his best "Mr. Potter" for a fascinated, cheering audience.

Asked if he likes to play bad guys, he told us that he was just looking for good parts in a movie, and if the bad guy had the good part, that it was fine with him.

He then was asked if Snape is in the next HP movie? His answer in best Rickman manner: "I'm afraid so." *lol* And his advise for someone who wanted to know a bit more about the GoF movie: "Go and read the book!"

If you've got the impression, that shooting the Harry Potter movies is only some sort of ordeal for Mr. Rickman, don't be too fast with your judgement ) He told us that it's nice filming the movies because it was like a big meeting of old friends. The adult actors in the movies "had been growing up in theatre together". Alan had been at the Royal Shakespeare Company with Richard Griffith (Uncle Vernon) and David Bradley (Filch), and he has done some movies with Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney).

I think, taking part in a Potter movie, is some sort of „royal duty" for Britains finest actors. And we are more than grateful to them. J

After the Q/A session there was a dinner buffet arranged for the charity supporters and Alan Rickman stayed for another half an hour, patiently signing autographs for everybody, young and old."

Awwww!! That's so sweet. *whines* I want an autographed picture of Alan Rickman!! lol

Snape in NO jammies is even nicer. Yum.

5AM... Oy. *trots off to bed with Sevvie*

@-->--- Tess

yeah but half the fun of it, is ripping them off! *EG*

Book says 'long grey nightshirt', so no need to rip it off . . .

Amen to that.

Nay, it will just slide to the floor, revealing the delicious spectacle of his hardened body, pale and --

I believe I will stop there. *blushes furiously* Besides, if I continue, dearest Sevvie will become irritated. *calls off to the study* Don't you worry, love, I'm only instilling fear in these rascals! They'll be positively terrified to go anywhere near you now! ^_~

@-->--- Tess

Wanna Bet

*isn't even going to mention what she thought when Tess said 'hardened'*

Hey you guys! Yeah Rickman rule and Snape's a real cool and interesting character.. If your Rickman and Snape fans, take a look at this site: http://www.potterpocketpals.com/sexy.swf

Hehe... it's soo funny! Guaranteed to make you laugh! It's a Snape + music video thingy.. hehe..

darn I can't see the page.
But is it the I'm to Sexy....video?
If so than it's brilliant!!

Thus spake Sage the Pervert.

And yus, I've seen that music video... Quite good. Had to watch it while Severus was out of the room, though. I'm afraid he would have been positively affronted.

@-->--- Tess

hey guys, i'm back to join the rickman thread!
now i know all of those of you who are huge alan-oholics have seen "love actually". didnt you just love rickman in that one? i loved the scene where hes being a naughty boy and trying to buy the necklace and rowan atkinson (spelled?) is taking his sweet time to wrap it....
my friend bought me the dvd as an early b-day present cos i was going on and on about how much i had loved the movie when i saw it in the theater. anyway there is a director's commentary on it as well, and i was listening to that. when that scene came up to shoot, it took rowan 7 minutes to wrap the gift and it was only a 3-4 minutes space. so rowan is all "i'm so sorry this is taking so long, alan" (they had to do some serious editing on that one) and the director said that rickman acted the whole time even when rowan was just chatting him up and screwing around. hehe.
another love actually/rickman tidbit - alan went over to the director's house one day and he said his kids were having a fit cos of their associating him with HP, so the director (is it wrong that i cant remember his name?) told alan that he read the HP series to his kids every night before bed, but he could never do the "snape" voice, said he "didnt really put his back into it" at this rickman replied "well neither do i!" haha. he has that silky deep voice without even trying...*grrrr* drool *
ok. nuff from me.
-brandi

Link... won't... work *bashes head into computer*

Yes. Sage the Pervert doth spoken. *bows and walks off*

Oh great info on Love Actually. I've seen it twice now and it's gets better everytime you watch it. AR character was great even if I wanted to kick his butt for cheating on the Emma Thompson character. My heart broke when she found out. I read that the whole scene of the opening of the christmas presents was improvised. They acted really good together, but then again Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman go back years together.
I was curious are there some extra AR scene's on the DVD? Because when I saw the part that AR comes back to his family at the airport I felt that there was a piece missing that showed him going away.

I've actually not seen it... A bit pressed for money at the moment, I assure you, or I'd have bought it months ago. Though I did see fit to splurge on Peter Pan, as my life is barren without my weekly drool-fest over Captain James Hook. ^_~

Rickman Picture of the Day


*drools*

@-->--- Tess

Have you guys seen this new Snape pic?
It's fantastic
*wishes that he would stand in my doorway like that*

Snapeophile: Yupp, it's the I'm too sexy - music video of Snape! Hehe.. It's so funny!

Hmm.. uhm.. could you guys answer a question I have? Have you aaaany idea why some of my messages in other topic-discussions suddenly have disappeared? It's really weird.. well, well..

*giggles at pic* Mmmm... *sigh, decides to try Tess and Callie's form of speech on for size* I loves me some Alan! *giggle*

(Interesting to see Snape defending the Trio from Lupin the werewolf.)


that scene has been intreaguing (sp?) me ever since i saw the film. i'm not sure what it is, but when i saw it something in my brain went 'this is important'. i wish i knew why and i wish the voices in my head would stop giving me incomplete info

Tess! You haven't seen Love Actually!?

*lightbulb*

Don't buy it. Ok? Ok. *cackle*


Callie

tess, you of all people do not own a copy of love actually? where are you? i fill i must mail you a copy....i will if need be. we cant have the biggest rickman fan not seeing some of his best work. -brandi

Haven't seen it either... oh well. Lol. Then again, I haven't seen a TON of the movies everyone raves about... I REALLY need to just watch movies for 24 hours straight, THEN maybe I'll have a better knowledge of them... lol.

And yes, I think we'd all love to have him stand in our doorway like that... with or without the awesome black clothing. *snickers*

I stumbled across this site:
http://piratemonkeysinc.com/snape.htm
There are some great Snape drawings and comics (a couple of Rickman himself).
BEWARE: some of the material is rated 15 and above--after all, the site has won the Naked Snape award...

Yeah, that made me and my brother crack up... Needless to say, I won't be viewing the page with him around. LOL. (Unlike my friggin GAY brother in California... That kid likes Gollum. He's scary. Now there's nothing wrong with gay guys [personally I love them] but my brother is a freak. He has this Abraham Lincoln action figure that he snogs... EWWWW. >.< Nuff said.)

Okay I'm off topic... errr... SNAPE ROCKS!! heh ... heh ... heh

Hey fellow Snape fans! 'Tis summer and I've venture back here again. How's everyone doing? Still drooling like my love lorn self?

Ah Tess, if memory does serve me well, the picture of Alan in the straight jacket is my all time favorite. I'd like to be a padded room with him for a while . Say, can anyone give me some advice on 'Sense & Sensibility'? My grandmother unnknowingly bought it and I need to watch it soon. Any plot lines given here?

PS: Every Alan fan ever should see Love Actually...twice...then again...then once more...for good measure....

Watch Sense and Sensibility a couple times over. Throw popcorn at stupid Marianne. Prepare to yell "Just jump the man's bones!" at the screen.
Fantastic movie! Emma Thompson's screenplay really does the book justice (Kicks copy over to Steve Kloves). Do you really want us to tell you what happens, AHL?

OMG i luv alan rickman/snape. he's like the hottest guy on this earth. i'd like to teach him a thing or two. and i'd put him in his place for bein mean to the trio. hehehe. all my friends think i'm weird cuz i luv him and they say that i'm weird bcuz i'm 16 and he's like almst 60. but meh. i don't care. me and my best friend brit luv him and ozzy. they may be old but they're super hott.

Hey, you're not weird, you just don't discriminate against older men! That's what I tell myself when I fall for people several decades older than me. LOL.

hehe thanx. go to alan rickman and join my journal there and tlk bout him.

I just love Alan Rickman.

I never even read any of the Potter books until I saw the first movie.
After seeing Snape I was like,..."Who is that guy?!"

He was so great even though he wasn't in it nearly enough.

Well, I quickly became obsessed about finding out about this actor and all the movies he'd done.

And I'm so glad he's doing GoF. I can't imagine the movies without Alan as Snape!

I hope he stays on for the rest too!

^ me ither. alan rickman plays snape so well. he's an excellent actor. he has loads of fans young and old. and mainly chicks.

Well what can i say??,Alan Rickman is just fantastic as Snape,it's the way he looks ,walks ,talks,everything in fact just perfect and very,very sexy!!
xHarrysbabex

so very very true. man if i knew him and he was closer to my age. omg! we'd have so much fun.

who cares about age I'll take him anyway

I found this AR page which is really funny you can even vote for Snape in the presedential ellections
http://www.thebottomstripe.net/alan/index2.html

Does anyone know if AR is going to do all the films. I heard from a friend that he wasn't signed on for all the films and now I'm getting a bit worried!

OMG!!,I hope that isn't true it would be terrible if they got another actor to play Snape(Alan is the only man for the job!!)He's just perfect
