: 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?
