I loved Galaxy Quest. For a "dumb" comedy, it's well written and does a good job capturing the essence of the sci-fi fandom/convention culture. I love the scene where Dane is freaking out before going on stage at the convention.
and
Hans Gruber made me appreciate villains.

Hard to believe that Galaxy Quest was that long ago, 1999 huh? Mad, I loved that movie and thought it had such a cast, I really liked the faux Warf character that Rickman played.
Its funny but when people like this die sometimes its the more obscure roles that people dont remember that I remember liking the most.

I cant believe how long ago that was too, I remember the song remaining at number one the charts for so long, I remember the movies, games and videos show which was on on saturdays and discussed a bit about each of those things showing clips from the movie and I remember that a single movie like this one would take up a lot of air time over a long, long time.
Things have really changed and maybe that's why I think differently about movie stars like Rickman and those that are around today which are meant to replace them, I dont think they are half the actors that are being lost, same with music talent too.

Fuck. It just occurred to me this likely means no Galaxy Quest 2. I realize this sounds insensitive, but apparently the entire cast had said they'd do a sequel if if ever came to fruition.

Apparently Alan Rickman and David Bowie were both 69 years old. Makes one wonder . . .

[MENTION=9811]Coriolis[/MENTION], yesterday I was actually wondering if there might be some correlation to some phenomenon in postwar London...
It'd be interesting to research rates of cancer deaths, ratio of cancer deaths in men born in London aged 69 to 70 to cancer deaths in men born in the same city in different years. Of course, cancer is a leading cause of death for men that age, so it's probably just coincidence. Rickman had pancreatic cancer and Bowie liver cancer, so maybe I'm drawing a connection where none exists (both are "gut" cancers, but I know little more about cancer and such a study would require someone with more background and knowledge in cancer-related deaths).
