I just wanted to stop by to ask if I was the only one utterly crushed by the loss of Alan Rickman. I just finished reading tale of the body thief and the entire novel he was the only gave that seemed to do David justice and now I will never know! Rest in peace Alan. We will love you always.
Thanks, @fallenwerewolf. I don’t really have a good, clear picture of David in my mind… I never considered Rickman for that role. I think he would have done a great job, and he was the right age, had the right kind of charm for it, and when I picture him as David, I see him with that little gentlemanly smile he had:
That scene where he’s actually Raglan, I bet Rickman would have done an amazing job with that.
If we get a graphic novel adaptation of that book, we can still use Alan Rickman as inspiration! Also for fanart, very few ppl draw mortal!David Talbot…
Y’know I don’t have the time to go around checking sources, so idk if I believe you. It might be his quote. Might not.
Even if it isn’t him, it’s a lovely image and you can pry it from my cold, dead hands.
A 2011 GoodReads discussion board also noticed Tiffany’s comment, and pointed out, “Tiffany’s post was from July [2011] while all the posts that mention Rickman with [the quote] weren’t until a couple of weeks ago [in 2011].”
I think he would have agreed with such a sentiment.
So for future reference: if you’re going to correct anyone’s post re: the source or any other reason, YOU do the homework first, and YOU provide the link, k? That’s only fair 😉
When I’m 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I’ll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me, ‘After all this time?’ And I will say, ‘Always.’
RIP Alan Rickman (1946-2016)
^Apparently Rickman did not say this but I think he’d agree with the sentiment
