If you watch the movie “Love Actually” followed by “Die Hard” you get to see Alan Rickman get punished severely for having an affair with his secretary. It’s quite satisfying.
Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Now that I have gotten that out of the way, the common bond between Die Hard and Love Actually is the late Alan Rickman. What happens with Alan Rickman’s character in Love Actually impacts what happens to his character in Die Hard. Tonight is a double feature and the best way to see both films during the season.
Featuring a great cast this movie is satire at its finest. Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shalhoub and the late Alan Rickman make this movie awesome. Fandoms and cosplay have a very central role in this movie. It has a great message of life imitating art and courage…and did I mention Enrico Colantoni too?
For geeks this week’s been sad.
Alan Rickman who was good at playing bad guys has left this world. He is best known for Severus Snape from the Harry Potter movies and the Sheriff of Notingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. He was memorable for his roles in movies like Sense and Sensibility and Galaxy Quest. Rickman was also great in Love Actually.
Thank you Alan for sharing your talents with the world. You will be missed by geeks and nerds everywhere.
