RIP: Alan Rickman

Man, what a shocker losing two greats in one week, and both from cancer, and both age 69.

The first movie that I saw him in was Die Hard, he was such a great villain. But I really loved him in January Man with Kevin Kilne. And, of course, he was the definitive Snape in the Potter films.

Personally I think he would have made an excellent Lord Ventinari for Discworld movies, but now that will never happen.
