Obituaries...

I usually avoid this topic (to depressing) but now I just had to reply. Like Robin Williams a few years ago I’m actually a bit shocked.
Alan Rickman died!

I’ve been a fan of this man’s work ever since is saw him as the sheriff of Nottingham. January man, truly, madly deeply, Die hard, Galaxy quest, Sense and sensibility, Perfume (heck, even Blow Dry and his appearance in that Texas music video) so many great roles.

Every once in a while an actor’s death hits home. This is one of those days. I will surely miss him.
