Fun at the Movies

> I'm actually with Carol on this.  I just watched him in Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, and I find it MUCH harder to take him when he's got a wig such as that worn by Judge Turpin in Sweeney or Richis in Perfume than when he's wearing his Snape wig.

Potioncat:
What did you think of the movie? I haven't worked up the courage to watch it. It took me forever to get the nerve to watch Sweeny Todd.

Potioncat:
It just seems to me that Snape looks different in some movies than others. He looks very different after CoS. I agree somewhat with Lizzy about "uglifying"--in that it isn't Rickman who has changed, but the make-up. He looked dopey in Bottleshock, and pretty good in Snowcake. He ages like a Southern gentleman should in "Something the Lord made."  But post-Cos-Snape looks sickly, to my mind. Now, maybe that's the look they wanted to fit their interpretation of the books.

Potioncat:
I agree, but they chose the lighting and the make-up for a reason. I don't get it.

> The one time I thought he looked bad in the HP movies was in CoS, when his face looks puffy.  (The scene when Harry & Ron are getting in trouble for the crashing the Flying Ford Anglia into the Whomping Willow.)  Then I read that he had a terrible sinus infection when he filmed that scene, which explained the puffiness a bit.  

Potioncat:
I thought he looked sick. (not the same as sickly) I thought perhaps it was the first scene that was filmed after he and Branaugh had been out all night drinking with Harris. In one interview Rickman talks about being out to the wee hours with them and that Harris shows up the next morning just fine.
