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 73 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months 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 9 months 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 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kaijobu@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months 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 9 months ago (1 children)

Neither of them work on Memmy, lol

[–] 5redie8@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Add Voyager to that list.

Guess we're decentralizing markdown formats too lmao

[–] Kaijobu@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 months 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 9 months ago

Open a bug report with your frontend!

[–] Jknaraa@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months 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 9 months 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!<

[–] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] abracaDavid@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Alan Rickman's death was a tragedy.

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

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

He was absolutely hilarious in Dogma

[–] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 9 months 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 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

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

[–] Dagamant@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months 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.

[–] Thrashy@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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

[–] kylua@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Similar story but I'm Italian

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 15 points 9 months ago

British people know how sophisticated he really is

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

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

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months 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 24 points 9 months 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 9 months 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 18 points 9 months ago

By Grabthar's hammer..

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But... he was the Metatron.

[–] Hazmatastic@lemm.ee 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months 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 9 months ago

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

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months 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 9 months ago (1 children)

Wait, do Brits come across as smug?

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

Americans take banter personally.

[–] mcqtom@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago

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

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

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