Glad they included that.

Such a great actor. He will be missed.

There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few... Who possess, the predisposition... I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death.

I give you the F......B......I....

One of my favorite 80's movies.

Chris Knight: So, if there's anything I can do for you - or, more to the point, *to* you - just let me know.

Susan: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?

Chris Knight: Not right now.

Susan: A girl's gotta have her standards.

Dr. Hathaway: What’s that smell?
Chris: Must be the dog.
Dr. Hathaway: That’s popcorn.
Chris: Yes sir, I know.
Dr. Hathaway: Get it away from me, I can’t stand popcorn, I hate popcorn.
Chris: Good, now I know what to get you for your birthday.

I could go all day with this...

Self-realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

This one is really bumming me out. Loved the guy. :(

Me too.

Even in Love Actually, he was a villain.

Last hijack.

Interesting trivia from Real Genius:

In 2010, actor William Atherton told "The A.V. Club" that the popcorn used in the final scenes was treated with a flame-######ant chemical and so the crew went to great lengths to guard it against being eaten by birds, which would have died from the contaminant. Atherton also said that even with a machine in the studio dedicated to doing nothing but popping the popcorn, it took three months to pop it all.

When Laslo Hollyfeld (Jon Gries) sends in a large number of entries to the Frito-Lay contest, he is mirroring the actions of Caltech students Steve Klein, Dave Novikoff and Barry Megdal, who, in 1974, used a similar strategy to win a McDonald's sweepstakes. Their entries came to roughly 1/5th of the total entries and won them a station wagon, $3,000 cash and $1,500 in food gift certificates.

OMFG, if one more person asks me if I knew Snape died, I'm going to punch them.

He's to be known as Hans Gruber first and foremost!

 

[need2know]

Also liked him in Robin hood. Even if that movie sucked because of Costner.

Definitely like him in die hard more, but that was such a kick ### role

 

[Mjolnirs]

If you ever get a chance I recommend that you watch Die Hard with some Germans. They don't know the bad guys are German and their reactions are quite comical.

Could you elaborate please.?

My wife's family is from Germany and her Godson and a few of his friends were visiting about 10 years ago. We were watching TV when Die Hard came on. During the movie they heard a German phrase and one of them said, "They are German?" and his buddy replied, "No, they are Russian" and just after that we hear very loud and clear "schnell" and our guests were all shocked - "OMG, they ARE German!", "How can they be German?"The German dubbed version makes them Eastern European.

Did they find it offensive?

I think he is saying that they had seen the movie back home, the dubbed version, and didn't realize that in the original version they were Germans. Surprise!

Fine. I'll gain weight.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Shoot. The glass.

There's a story we tell that's reached the point of urban legend. My college does a "semester abroad" program in London. The story goes that a few guys who graduated a few years before me did the trip, and learned that the rooms they were put up in were across the street from a London apartment building where Alan Rickman was living at the time. They saw him a few times going in and out of the building. One of them managed to get his apartment number, and by extension, his home phone number.

So, whenever they got drunk, they'd prank call Alan Rickman.

Drunk college kid: (dials phone)

Alan Rickman: Hello?

Drunk college kid: (slurring words quietly) schiessen den fenster

Alan Rickman: What?

Drunk college kid: Shoot. The. Glass!

Alan Rickman: (click)

That's pretty awesome.

"One of my favorite people who ever lived has died. The legendary Alan Rickman played Metatron, the Voice of God, in my 4th film Dogma," Smith wrote on his official Facebook page. "Alan was the first non-friend who signed up to the flick, but he became a great friend in record time. In this pic, he holds the Ken doll his Dogma character's lack of genitalia was modeled after. I'll never forget his incredible dulcet tones guffawing at the rubber crotch makeup he was wearing: one of the greatest actors who ever lived, tickled by a cinematic lack of a ####. I loved Hans Gruber the minute I saw Die Hard but I fell in love with the soft-spoken gentle soul who brought Gruber to life. Thank you for lending a hack like me your artistry and your credibility, Alan. You were never Snape to me as much as you were the adult Harry Potter himself: a bonafide wizard who could conjure absolute magic using merely words. He was a HUGE cauldron of win, this man. I'll miss him forever. Rest in Peace, Voice of God. Back to Heaven, where you came from..."

Jesus. Smith can't even write a tribute to a friend without it sounding forced and clunky.

Let's not forget his portrayal of Marvin the paranoid android - which was also brilliant.

Next thing you are going to tell me is that Russians didn't think Sean Connery was believable as a Russion sub boat captain.

They think he's German.

Yeah, he always seemed out of place to me. The director must have owed him a favor.
