I always liked him. He'll be missed.

I always liked him. He'll be missed.

Was an excellent actor, totally stole Robin Hood Prince of Thieves from Kevin Costner.

Shame.

Schieß den Fenster!

Ah, first Bowie then Rickman. Both at 69, both cancer. sad week indeed.

Sad news.

 

[Asp Explorer]

I bet he's gone to see if there's a pub

Still my favourite Tybalt, sadly missed.

R.I.P. Alan. Loved him in Galaxy Quest, Harry Potter, Die Hard and many other great films. He will be sadly missed.

Was an excellent actor, totally stole Robin Hood Prince of Thieves from Kevin Costner.

Shame.

That has to be one of his highlights. The film would have been mediocre at best, without him.

It is currently a hecatomb. God has decided to recall many of his childrens. Rest in peace !

Here's a vote to have a station put out there for him. He did plenty of sci-fi work, Marvin the Paranoid Android (HHGTTG) and Galaxy Quest not the least

He'll always be Hans Gruber to me, my favourite bad guy! RIP

I say respectfully, Alan Rickman, David Bowie and no doubt many more, make their enormous contributions to humanity, they leave their enormous mark, then they move on, to make way for the next ones.

The greatness of Rickman, Bowie and so many more is that they managed to equal, improve upon, outshine great performers who came before then and eventually, undoubtedly, they too will be outshown by even better talent.

Better, because the bar has been set by Rickman, Bowie and many more.

Better because that is the nature of the competitive spirit that has taken humanity from the caves to the stars.

What an entrance! What a performance! What an exit!

Pretty sure we need a Rickman Orbital (or Marvin Port) in the game. It should have very cheery doors and a mail slot that pleasantly says "ahhhhh" when you fly through it. Damn, he will be missed.

Looking at all the music scene these days, I really REALLY wouldn't bet on that..
