Yep and Yep.

Right.

Enthusiastic second here. But be advised that it's hard to
understand--the characters mumble a lot, and there seems to be a lot of
non sequitur conversation in the first part (exaggerated, I think, to
accentuate how Stella is entering a new world [stage life/actors]}. And
also know that it's very dark, rather a downer all round--I still have
no idea how anyone considered it a comedy (although it has comedic
moments).

That said, I *still* maintain that the "comprehension" scene (you'll
know what I mean if you see it) is the best argument for him as Snape
that I've seen. He just *stands* there, yet he conveys so much just with
his expression.

If you're into romance, go for Truly, Madly, Deeply; and I, for one,
really liked the GalaxyQuest spoof. Again, there's a line in there that
tells me he'll be a good Snape--when he voluntarily uses that "Graptar's
Hammer" line, to that alien, he speaks softly, gently, but with such
*intensity.*

Rasputin's very good, if you can find it--my husband and I were amused
that the truest part, how he was killed, came across as the most
unbelievable. Rickman portrays Rasputin as a good bit more naive than he
was, and a bit schizophrenic, but it's a very good performance.

He was okay in Quigley Down Under and Judas Kiss, but they're nothing to
write home about, in my humble opinion. I haven't tracked his others
down yet.
