Not-sexy Snape (reply from HPfGU-Movie)

I have been preparing carefully for my next comment. Not only have I
donned my
bullet-proof vest and suit of armour, I have also erected a
electrified barbed
wire fence around my concrete bunker and hidden inside it bearing a can of
Mace. Because... I didn't find Alan Rickman particularly sexy! (gasps of
horror and fury and cries of vengeance from all and sundry Snape
fans). Before
I reinforced my fence with a pack of three headed dogs, let me hastily
say that
his *acting* was good, and his *voice* is gorgeously deep and melodious.
However, he didn't do it for me physically at all. Too old, too
chunky, too
stiff around the neck (I agree with the high collar comment). Neither
did he
fit my mental image of Snape. Snape is younger, more gaunt, his hair is
shoulder length and greasy. Plus I didn't go for the "no foolish wand
waving"
speech while striding briskly into the classroom. Feels all wrong to
me. If I
were CC, I'd have had him pause silkily, one eyebrow raised, in the
doorway,
while the students fell silent, and then make his way slowly and
deliberately
to the front of the room and *then* quietly, coolly begin his speech.
I know
the film was long and they had to hurry along what they could, but
CC's version
lost a lot of Snape's gravitas IMO.

bunker)

I would like to join you there, Tabouli, as I have never found Snape
attractive in any form or fashion.

And, Daniel IS an absolute cutie-patootie...I wasn't to sure about his
looks in the very first pre-shooting shots of the actors, but did you
see him at the premiere?!  Adorable...now only if he could be about 5
years older...;-)
