At first glance my reaction was, wow Ron aged so bad then I realized the last two pictures were Alan's.

Anyway why does it look like Ron is getting older every sentence? Why is the 3rd picture from a different interview?

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 75 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Because they're quotes from different interviews. The second interview is from the reencounter special, he was asked what happened to the drawing in the anecdote during the section that memorialized Rickman.

Hans Gruber did NOTHING wrong!

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fun fact, in the shot of >!Hans Gruber falling off the building at the end of Die Hard!<, Alan's look of shock is genuine - he was rigged up on a harness with a quick release above a crash pad, and was told that they would be releasing him on a count of 3, but the director got the stunt coordinator to release him on 2 instead

I can never seem to get what the spoiler format is here.

[–] Jknaraa@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

spoilerThere's a spoiler button just above the text box.

[–] Kaijobu@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Interestingly, this does not work on Eternity.

!This apparently does, though.!<

It is done by >! text !<

But I still don't know and just uses a button on the app.

Edit: strange, as this is what the user did in the first place but doesn't show as spoiler for me either.

[–] Doombot1@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Neither of them work on Memmy, lol

[–] 5redie8@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Add Voyager to that list.

Guess we're decentralizing markdown formats too lmao

[–] Kaijobu@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

I hope that gets unified at some point.

Spoiler text somehow only works for myself, even if others used the same syntax.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Open a bug report with your frontend!

[–] Jknaraa@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The actual text used is [

spoiler] then [your message] then [:::]. The second "spoiler" can be replaced by whatever word you want.

spoiler like this :::

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Not working on Voyager, none of the comments in this chain do

You just put it in and it automatically spoilers it. See? >!hunter2!<

[–] SadSadSatellite 32 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I've never seen him play anything other than a stoic dick. It's almost hard to think of him as a nice guy.

[–] quotheraven404@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I'm sure many (American) people think Hugh Laurie is like House in real life too 😂

[–] Dagamant@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

American here, I’m a big fan of Stephen Fry so I knew about him from A Bit of Fry and Laurie. I know I’m an outlier in the statistics.

[–] kylua@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Similar story but I'm Italian

[–] Thrashy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Jeeves and Wooster here, but lump me into that outlier group with you.

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

British people know how sophisticated he really is

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was VERY surprised when I heard his real accent as a kid.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

So were the production team of House. They totally thought he was an American and were surprised when he first spoke with them in his natural voice.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's the power of acting and when done by a master, it's hard to imagine anything other than what they give us.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure this is the first picture I have ever seen of him with a genuine smile on his face. In all his movies he doesn't actually smile, he does a condescending sneer.

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

By Grabthar's hammer..

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But... he was the Metatron.

[–] Hazmatastic@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The one, the almighty? And voice of the One True God?

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm so grateful you were here because I typed that all out as if on reflex and realized it was a bit much and deleted it but it felt so naked not to say the whole thing!

[–] Hazmatastic@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Right back at you lol it felt naked to me too. Sometimes you just gotta

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Saw a movie earlier with him in it called Bottle Shock. Title might be one word. He plays a smug character but really he is just British in the movie. Came out in 2008. It was about California making wine. I enjoyed it but it is by no means thrilling. If you have watched everything else you want to see, go for it.

[–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, do Brits come across as smug?

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The posh ones, yes. The banter doesn't help the rest.

Americans take banter personally.

[–] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Man I miss him. Galaxy Quest and Harry Potter were giants in the psyche of young me

[–] abracaDavid@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Alan Rickman's death was a tragedy.

Don't know what you've got until it's gone.

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

He was absolutely hilarious in Dogma

[–] mcqtom@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

I so thought you were telling me Rupert Grint had died.

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Is it just me or does Snape look like Tom Scott cause playing as himself
