I thought you were a Snape fan, not a Rickman fan. He has a good 
amount of screen time in this movie. There are 3 or 4 story lines 
running through the film and his character touches on a couple. It 
sounds like you're interested enough that seeing it in the theater 
would be worth while.

'Bottle Shock' is playing in one theater in our area. It's an older 
theater, 4 movies at once. And the over-all crowd was considerably 
different than what we usually see in the mega-multi-plexes in our 
area. For an industry that appeals to the younger set, this theater's 
clientele was fairly gray. Another movie was 'Brideshead Revisited' 
and I didn't notice the other 2. So to a certain extent the movie-
going experience was worth it. I'm guessing it may be similar 
everywhere.

The music was fun, the scenary was gorgeous. And one of the trailers 
was for 'Noble Son' another Rickman movie. That one looks good! Very 
snarky Rickman.

Potioncat:
He addressed that in one of the interviews I've seen or read. But for 
the movie's plot, his character's age was unimportant. Not like HP, 
for instance.
