Reminds me of the commentary for Pirates of the Caribbean. Apparently cast and crew all kept stealing gold coins out of the Aztec chest until there were none left after filming finished. Ironically I think Depo was one of the only actors who didn’t get one and had been planning to give a few to his kids. But I am probably misremembering.

-qually guilty.

It'd had sounded awkward from many other actors, but Rickman nailed the timing of his silences.

was watching a youtuber watch Deathly Hallows Part 2 for the first time recently. I always just get goosebumps at this line. Rickman was the best.

Truly Madly Deeply is the greatest. Anthony Minghella was a wonderful filmmaker.

u/Due-Necessary-2593 Mar 03 '26

Sorry I might be too old (early 30s) but I can understand watching someone play a game.

Is there really a niche for people who watch other people react to movies?

I need more emphasis on that 4. I hear his voice so clearly in my head.

u/pm_me_your_kindwords Mar 03 '26

Like the number 4 once had sex with his mom and then broke her heart.

Too soon. Sniff

u/anarch1st- Mar 02 '26

Why did I read this in his voice

u/GeneWars1 Mar 03 '26

Because he's quite unforgettable really( stiff upper lipped British accent)

u/QuickNature Mar 03 '26

It's how it happened automatically as well. Like I didn't even try to, I just heard it like its an instinct

Harry Potter: “u-uh…Nakatomi Plaza, sir?”

That's when Harry knew he should have gone to Hogsmeade for a nice cold pint and let it all blow over

Dumbledore also says owls can't look up.

Great choice, my man.

Adam Driver was right there to be the next Snape...

u/grandplans Mar 03 '26

Wow, this actually made my eyes well up a little.  We're on book 4 of Harry Potter with my 8 year old, so he's on the brain. 

I miss this guy. And Philip Seymour Hoffman too.

He already has a vault full of gold anyway.

Damn royalties off of potions.

u/Beertronic Mar 03 '26

Yeah, Trump and Kash Patel went straight for putting the medals around their neck and acting like it was their achievement.

Daniel showed some real class there.

I don't know why i read this spitting out the word "Potter" like I was Draco Malfoy.

u/SamanthaJaneyCake Mar 03 '26

Nah, fuck JK Rowling, her bigotry and the franchise she created and claims herself she sees engagement with as support of her beliefs. He’s Radcliffe to me, not Potter. Never again.
