the alan rickman quote isn’t his, its a tumblr thing

Alright I did the research, turns out it was a fan of his that said that:

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].” 

And a fan site dedicated to Alan Rickman also claims he never said the quote. “A fan said this about themselves and ever since Alan Rickman dedicated blogs reflagged that quote, people are now under the impression that Alan said this.”

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 😉

i-want-my-iwtv do you see Lestat now?

aperfectdevil:

Casual reminder that Anne Rice once tried to put out a frivilous lawsuit against a new orleans restaurant while acting incharacter as Lestat. 

“Anne replied with another full page ad written by Lestat! In it ‘Lestat’ said "Mr. Copeland, nothing short of your indescribable restaurant could shock me out of my torpor and my coma. I am now myself again. It is nothing short of a stroke of genius on your part to create a restaurant that will be immortalized in history, legend and literature.” “

^SO WE HAVE THIS COPELAND GUY TO THANK FOR THE SERIES CONTINUING AND BECOMING THE VAMPIRE CRACKICLES GDI.

My favorite part:

” “a whole brigade of revelers appeared wearing plates of rice and beans around their waists, promoting a dish they called Red Beans Anne Rice”. Obviously fun times were had by all as everyone pointed and laughed.“
