    Nothing against Kevin Costner but he has no idea how to be anyone but Kevin Costner in movies.

    There was no attempt at an accent.

    That, or it was bad enough to be mathematically indistinguishable from nothing.

    Such a loss. I wish this would stop happening but time marches on and cancer is still here.

    Well, tomorrow seems like a good day to watch Die Hard.

    You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.

    I'm thinking about doing an entire rickman filmography run over the next month (as far as that's possible). But I also secretly want to just jump to highlights so I can get to watch Judas Kiss.

    It's probably the best Robin Hood movie. Or at worst, tied with Men In Tights.

    I mean, there's the Disney animated movie which is at least close to making it a three way tie.

    I can't believe that Alan Rickman, David Bowie, Patty Duke, Tim Curry, and Brian Cox are all the same age.

    Clearly, this is cancer's super-dick attempt to take back the 69 symbol. Fuck cancer.

    I probably shouldn't laugh at this, but I'm gonna chalk it up to gallows humor.

    Awful terrible fuck-it-in-its-eye cancer and death aside, this is a good goof.

    Not unless your definition of bad is second/third best depiction of a particular story.

    Rickman's Sheriff is one of the best villains ever though, so I'm still inclined to say Prince of Thieves is the best of the three.

    Just imagine if we had Rickman saying the Sheriff's lines from Men in Tights.

    Disney's robin hood has a lot of problems

    I think it's impressive that it manages to be really entertaining despite the fact that it has like three different plot arcs, none of which are really resolved, and that the end of the movie comes out of nowhere and doesn't really have anything to do with anything that happened up to that point (King Richard just...shows up?)

    ultimately I think it's buoyed by the design of Robin himself, and by his VA's performance

    ANYWAY

    goddamnit I miss Alan Rickman already

    thinkin' I'm gonna do a viewing of the Harry Potter movies pretty soon, maybe also Galaxy Quest

    I love Rickman but no way. Roger Rees was perfect in that movie.

    That happens as a resolution in at least two other Robin Hood movies too. I think the source material presents a real problem for script writers, although going off-piste hasn't worked that well either, historically.


    Basically the best Robin Hood movie is actually The Court Jester.

    Shit.. Tim Curry is british and 69 years old. Someone go check on him.

    This was one of my first thoughts when the news broke. Seriously though, I'm finding this hard to deal with. Terry Pratchett, Christopher Lee, Leonard Nimoy, David Bowie, Alan Rickman... I'm outliving my heroes :(
