Phew, now a wild axe man has expressed a liking for Truly Madly Deeply, I guess I can own up to liking it as well. Haunting is the word I think. I was fearing maybe it caught me off guard at a "soft" moment when it first showed on TV. It was a BBC film, so hopefully they'll show it again now on TV here in the UK so I can see whether I've become harder and more cynical in the intervening years. The cancer thing strikes me as strange too. Makes me wonder whether The Government is carrying out secret radiation experiments while we sleep. Or perhaps it's aliens. Whatever it is, I don't like what it’s doing. I don't want to tempt fate, but at least Keith Richards gives us all hope. Toochis - thanks for mentioning Alan Rickman on Broadway. It reminded me I'd seen him in Les Liaisons Dangereuses in London in the mid-80s. I didn't know anything about him then, but I remember it being an outstanding production overall. Saw Bowie on stage twice last century, and Motorhead in 2014 (finally!). I now feel a very, very lucky little audience-member. Paul _www.movieposterstudio.com_ (http://www.movieposterstudio.com)

He was superb in a little-seen film called "Truly, Madly, Deeply"...hell, he was great in everything he appeared in. There are certain actors who elevate even a crappy movie at least to watchability; Rickman was one of those guys. That voice.... And what's the deal with cancer? Doesn't it seem that a LOT more people have the Big Casino than when I was younger? People were dying of heart attacks and strokes back then. Troubling. Lastly...since I'm 66, it appears I have 3 years to get my affairs in order. I'd better try to score that "Invisible Ghost" one sheet ASAP. (Hey, at least I made a small attempt to keep this post on topic at the end...)
