If I don't know anything about a film other than the actors, I often judge whether it's worth a view by giving plus or minus points per supporting actor. Rickman is among the "double-plus" actors, along with James Cromwell, David Strathairn, Pete Postlethwaite, and Willem Dafoe. All *have* made dogs, but any movie with any of them in will have a good chance of being good (there are also plus, minus, and double-minus actors, of course...) James PS - if I had to cast several actors to play me, "I'm not there"-like, in a film, Rickman, Alan Davies and Robert Lindsay would probably all be in the list. - -- James Dignan, Dunedin, New Zealand -.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.- =-.-=-.-=-.- You talk to me as if from a distance .-=-.-=-.-=-. -=-.

I'm sure I've said this on Feg before, but the *only* actor I had in mind for any Harry Potter role while I was reading the books was Rickman... but not for Snape. Sirius Black was the role I saw him in. > My favorite of his movies is > Truly, Madly, Deeply. How I love that movie. It's a shame that Anthony Minghella subsequently decided that his career would be best spent making bowdlerized adaptations of spendid novels. later, Miles - -- over a year of feeling guilty about not blogging enough! http://readingpronunciation.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 05:32:21 -0700 From: "Bri N" Subject: Re: Rew, Vampires and Birth!

Katrina and the Waves are on Tim Lee's Tummy Touch label? That's a strange match up... Buddies of mine used to play the hell out of Tim Lee's "Confessions of a Selector" album at parties about a decade ago. I thought Tummy Touch was more swanky-edit-beat music with a little humor thrown in, not exactly Rew type of music, but I haven't kept up with the label. Good to know about $1,000,000 a year is generated from Walking On Sunshine and that he shares it with the rest of the band. In Nuppy news: I'm a dad! Jasmyn was born 1 week ago today. She's a cutie! Though, I've forgotten what sleep was... Good god, am I really the only Scarlet's Well fan on this list?! Really really enjoying their new album "Society Of Figurines". More so than Propellor Time actually. There's a lot of variety on this psychedelic album, but here's Cash-like song called Vampire from a recent show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppGPwWD--ns Also been listening to Antonio Carlos Jobim's classic "Stone Flower" from 1970.

BBC Radio 2 broadcasts on FM, DAB, Digital Satellite and DVB-T. This is a direct capture of the DVB-T broadcast. I've included the broadcast split into separate tracks, but have also included an unsplit file in case people want to track it differently - Janice Long talks slightly over the outro of a couple of tracks. They are small files so its no big size penalty. At about 2:27 into Luckiness there is what is sounds like a very slight discontinuity (it may just be a 'mis-strum' of the guitar). There were no errors reported in processing the stream (there were no dropped frames), so this was presumeably on the broadcast. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V18 #106 ********************************
