Unhappy Celeb death no. 2

RIP Alan Rickman.

The actor that played Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies passed away from cancer. He was 69, same age as Bowie.

These things seem to go in 3's. Who will be next?

He was in a bunch of "Jane Austen" type chick flicks, too.

He is responsible for the way I greet my family every evening:

I walk through the door and stiffly, through gritted teeth, nod and say: "Daughtahs"...

To which they reply: "Faathah"...

Every night.



RIP Colonel Brandon.

There is one redeeming feature in this movie. At 2:5 there is that white Pontiac sitting at the curb.
