Isn't that the best fucking reason for a cold shower, ever? I swear I slid off the couch the first time I watched it.

Have you seen the clips of him singing with Depp?

[rm.livejournal.com]

No! I've been trying to find a clip of him singing as I have no idea what his singing voice is like. Link?

[torenheksje.livejournal.com]

http://www.sendspace.com/file/ec1c8x has the MP3 of the singing, plus the whole "Gandered" speech.

There is a partial film clip of the "Pretty Woman" scene here:

It's one of the "behind the scenes" (the second one, I believe) along with all kinds of yummy stuff.

Oh goodness. I really didn't expect that to be so sweet.

There's been some commentary among those who saw the original B'way production that Rickman's Turpin sings with much more vulnerability than his predecessor.

Rickman has also mentioned that he had to really work to hit those high notes. :c)

All of Sweeney is really hell on the male voices.

And yeah, it sounds really vulnerable. Which doesn't surprise me, as that a Tim Burton thing, to put weird vulnerability into his male characters. Nice, anyway, to see Rickman doing what he does so well without seeming like he's phoning it in.

Wow. This film becomes more impressive with every clip I watch.

[spybarbie.livejournal.com]

Oh, Alan Rickman, that just isn't fair.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Hahaha no, it's really not.

[raaven.livejournal.com]

The fandom explosion hadn't even occurred to me. Now that you mention it, though - I am giggling madly. This is gonna be GREAT!

[torenheksje.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting for Sweeney/Turpin slash, myself. ;c)

[raaven.livejournal.com]

*grin*

Oh, yeah.

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

I'll be in my bunk.

[raaven.livejournal.com]

*cracks up*

Yep. That about sums it up.

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

I think the world should thank Joss Whedon for creating a non-vulgar, inoffensive, self-explanatory phrase for "Holy shit, that's so hot I need to go masturbate."

[raaven.livejournal.com]

That, and so many other things. :)

[askeladden.livejournal.com]

I am liking the deadpan A Little Priest. Yee!

[fragiletender.livejournal.com]

Oh my! Frantically fans self.

[perlandria.livejournal.com]

Hello M/M slashfic opening!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Uhhuh.

[angstzeit.livejournal.com]

How does anyone resist Alan Rickman?

[arcanetrivia]

They don't. Anyone who says they can is lying through their lying little teeth.

[go-orgoahead.livejournal.com]

I cannot wait to see it.

My fiance's comment on this:

"Ok, so Jack Sparrow, Bellatrix, Snape, Wormtail, and Borat walk into a bar... ber shop..."

[kiji-kat.livejournal.com]

HA!

Good god...

[kiji-kat.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend and I are planning on seeing this together when he comes in for the holidays.

After watching that clip, I think it's safe to say that we'll be going straight home afterward to...discuss...

[editrx.livejournal.com]

Oh my f*cking god.

I knew I wanted to see this ... now I want to see it NOW.
