Alan Rickman of Die Hard and Harry Potter Fame Passes Away At 69

[RealRT]

Fucking cancer.

Farewell, mr. Rickman, you already are sorely missed.

*sigh* And there's our third. RIP, Mr. Rickman. Now it is more imperative than ever that I introduce my younger brother to the glory that is Die Hard.

2016 is not starting off great for England's National Treasure.. Damn it.

 

[Callate]

People like Rickman and Bowie give us so much that losing them when we imagine we could have had another decade with them makes me want to rail at the stars.

My less charitable nature says that Congress is full of men over sixty who aren't doing squat, but nooooo...

 

[dalek sec]

Damnit, this has not been a good start to this year in terms of stars dying off like this...

As many here have said, fuck off cancer and rest in peace Mr. Rickman.

I was more of a fan of Rickman than I was of Bowie but still...2016 hasn't even hit February and already it's been a pretty garbage year. He may be gone and he will be missed but at least I can always go back and re-watch Dogma, the Harry Potter series, Hitchhiker's Guide and, Die Hard.

He ain't dead, God just needed her messenger back upstairs.

Now nobody he hitting him with a fire extinguisher when he gets back.

That right there...

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Well 2015 ended on a sucker punch with Lemmy... but damn is 2016 just laying the boot in. Bowie and Rickman in a week. Seriously fuck cancer and fuck 2016.

 

[Erttheking]

Well this fucking sucks. Life just wants to keep reminding us of the mortality of humans doesn't it?

 

[Solkard]

By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged!

So you're going to cure cancer?

 

[Basement Cat]

Bowie dead of cancer at 69. Rickman dead of cancer at 69.

2016, you suck!


Farewell, Alan. You will be missed.

EDIT: On the plus side Dogma made #5 on this Top Ten list of non-Harry Potter Alan Rickman movies to watch.

I found out at work. God, I don't think I have ever heard the lab being that silent Everyone literally downed tools and looked at each other in absolute shock which gave way to mourning. RIP Mr Rickman, you were too good for this world...

 

[Metalix Knightmare]

Off to a great start 2016.

 

[Superbeast]

I think I speak for everyone when I say: "Fuck 2016. You're a shit year."

Oh, and:

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

Man the bad news just keeps on coming in doesn't it? Truly a great actor and by the sounds of it a very admirable human being. I'm just stunned. Who's next?

I think I speak for everyone when I say: "Fuck 2016. You're a shit year."

Oh, and:

That rule of three thing with celbs is really is chilling sometimes eh?

 

[Metalrocks]

i actually only know him in die hard. thats the only impression i really have of him. never liked harry potter but i know he is the bad guy in it as well. hell, my parents didnt even know it was him when i said: "oh, hello hans gruber."
stating that he played the bad guy in the action legend die hard 1.

 

[dragongit]

Two famous people at the age of 69 pass away... uh oh*checks* WATCH OUT TIM CURRY!

 

[Brian Tams]

I'm pretty torn up about this. Alan was my favorite actor ever. The man just oozed stage presence.

...this is effecting me worse than when Robin Williams committed suicide. God damn.

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

When is Cancer gonna cash Robert Mugabe's cheque? For fuck sake that old bastard is 91, why is his sorry arse languishing like a fat cat in a sunbeam but spry, awesome guys like Lemmy, Bowie and Rick an got all their numbers called in a month. Eat a fucking dick, cancer. Eat. A. Dick.
