One minute you're a low-down convenience store clerk who finds himself faking that he's a film director with a movie which laughs at life as a low-down convenience store clerk. The next minute, you're being paid to direct a film you wrote which boasts Alan Rickman, Bud Cort, Alan Rickman, George Carlin, Alan Rickman and Ben Affleck. That's got to make one stop and reflect every now and again.
Think about it: you'd now be on at least a nodding aquaintance with each of the aforementioned. Funny now to think back on how different your life was back when Rickman first convinced us all (in a suspension of disbelief kinda way) that he really was Hans Gruber.
Ever rewatach Die Hard or Robin Hood-Prince of Thieves (or Truly, Madly, Deeply while we're on the subject) just to see how these films play now that you have a better sense of person inhabiting those roles?
