RIP Alan Rickman

Geez, just days after Bowie passed now actor Alan Rickman has died... also of cancer and also at age 69. Cool people need to stop dying!

Alan Rickman's work is damn near legendary, from Dogma to Galaxy Quest, Hans Gruber in Die Hard to the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Theives and of course 8 films as Harry Potter's cranky teacher Severus Snape.

By Grabthar's Hammer, Alan Rickman, you shall be avenged!

(or at least remembered)
