The Accept-No-Imitations Photos
Probably the most frequent complain Rickman fans have is that they have to wait for such extended periods of time for any new releases of films featuring Mr. Rickman. The temptation to resort to substitutes is there, just like people who can not tolerate sugar try using aspertame (marketed under the name Nutrasweet) and saccharine. During the past two years several people have brought to my attention Rickman look-alikes: caveat rickmaniac! They might look like him (especially if I’m not wearing my contacts, and you can’t hear the actor’s voice), but there’s only one Rickman.
This is Alan Rickman
This is not Alan Rickman. It is R. Vibert
This is not Alan Rickman. It is D. Thewlis
This is not Alan Rickman. It is the very sexy Ciaran Hinds instead.
This Month’s Letters To The Editor
Dear Fausta, Did Alan Rickman sing the song at the end of Die Hard? My wife says no I
think he did. Thanks Tim
Dear Tim,
According to the credits, Vaughn Monroe did the singing.
Dear Fausta,
I am Morag's PC and I have a few complaints to make re the August issue namely:
Those Mesmer pictures caused my operator to talk gibberish (again) wave her arms at me and put yet more pictures of the Alan Rickman whatever it is onto my little hard disc.
This space is valuable and my operator is filling it with the Rickman data, is this a code name for a project?
There is mention of a certain radio transmission, again please refrain from exciting my operator in this manner, she is at an excitable age and liable to crash at any time, I have to operate within safety guidelines. I have noticed activation of the code name Rickman brings forth this reaction. If you continue in this manner I will have to notify the medical authorities re the condition of my operator, and some assistance may be necessary.
Kindly refrain from causing this reaction in my operator, I have enough problems keeping her established on terra firma as it is!! Her co-operator bangs my keys and grunts at me when he sees the data she has downloaded! ! He can not have passed security for project Rickman. Obviously she is engaged in a highly secretive programme 'Rickman' and I shall classify any further information you provide in this manner.
Yours Morags PC !!!
Dear Morag’s PC,
My PC completely sympathizes with you, and had forced me to store numerous files in my website, and on floppies. But, as they say in the Galaxy Quest website, "Never give up, never surrender, full speed ahead!"
