Old_Nash Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Really 2016?http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35313604 Man.. enough, please ENOUGH!
TangledThorns Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I just saw. We lost the Goblin King and now Snape. Both from cancer at age 69.
Mommar Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 The thing that strikes me is all of these guys are so damn young too. 69 is nothing these days.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 noooo i needed to see him in a die hard prequel....
wwwmwww Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 noooo i needed to see him in a die hard prequel.... Well I want to say he is still eligible for a sequel but that is a bit too demented even for me. He truly was one of the best and will be missed. Carl
Knight26 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 He will be missed, but is it wrong for me to wonder, who will number 3 be? They always come in threes, so what 69 year old entertainer will succumb to cancer next?
Mr March Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah, this has certainly been a sad 2016 so far. First David Bowie and now Alan Rickman.Alan Rickman was a special actor to me not just because he was very skilled and entertaining, but because he came along at the right moment in my then young life to teach me an important lesson about public image and celebrity. For me, Alan Rickman was the first actor for which I learned to separate Rickman the person from the characters Rickman played. Like many young boys my age, I first saw him in “Die Hard” (1988) and loved him so much, I had to learn more about him. As I read and watched interviews I learned more about Alan Rickman and then realized he was a very genuine, personable, funny fellow…nothing like the evil Hans Gruber. At that young age, this realization not only heightened my opinion of his acting but it was also the point at which I made it my business to know actors by name and as real people rather than “that person in that film”. Many years later I would come to realize how important this critical thinking skill was, but it also allowed me to enjoy films, film actors and filmmakers while divorcing myself from the intolerable industry of celebrity. I’d never met Alan Rickman and he wasn’t my friend, so I didn’t want to know about his day-to-day life, or who he was married to, or for what his ex’s or idiot sons/daughters were arrested. He taught me to focus upon and respect the only relationship that mattered, he as the performer and me as the audience watching that performance.For all his great performances - whether in Die Hard, Sense and Sensibility, Galaxy Quest or Harry Potter – I am grateful. You will be missed Mr. Rickman!
myk Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Sorry about your family, pal. Thank you. Ignorantly, and illogically, I have to wonder why science hasn't beaten this thing yet...
derex3592 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Man, what a loss. You will be missed sir. RIP. and yes...watching Die Hard tonight 100%!

Mog Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) He will be missed, but is it wrong for me to wonder, who will number 3 be? They always come in threes, so what 69 year old entertainer will succumb to cancer next?Already hit Number 3:1. Lemmy (from Motörhead) 2. Bowie 3. Hans FREAKIN' Gruber I guess, technically, Lemmy was 70, but it's close enough. And yeah, frak cancer. Edited January 14, 2016 by Mog
Phobos Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 We're only 2 weeks into the new year. Jeez Louise. RIP
spanner Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 another sad loss and yet again to cancer.. not a good start to the year. RIP Alan.
Graham Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Yeah, this has certainly been a sad 2016 so far. First David Bowie and now Alan Rickman. Don't forget Lemmy as well! R.I.P. Hans Gruber.
kalvasflam Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I remember Die Hard in 1998, up until then, Germans were the bad guys personified by Hilter in WWII. Hans Gruber was for me the new definition of Germans after the movie, smart, hip, full of witty one liners, and utterly evil. And imagine, I didn't realize he was British until years later. (ha, I still thought it was odd choice to have a German being the Sheriff of Nottingham) Rickman was truly a great actor. RIP Edited January 15, 2016 by kalvasflam
