***snow cake**** a new movie on ASD

[redbull]

snow flake it stars segourney weaver who is acting the role of the ASD lady its written by a mom of an ASD boy, hopefully once people watch it they will stop asking what DS special power is as if he can do maths like a professor hes only 5 !! LOL

[fattiemumma]

Special power ARF.

but i know what you mean. i have had comments like " is he good at maths or drawing, they say KIDS like HIM are usualy good at that sort of thing dont they"

havent heard of the film but will certainly look out for it.

[redbull]

sorry i will try link again snow cake out in sept

[redbull]

they think they can do anything just because they are ASD and the way they say it in a little hushed voice like some inteligence agency is listening in and planning to kidnap them because they have these amazing powers!!!

[Davros]

ahem!

[redbull]

sorry davros didnt realise you had posted it i only had the NAS magazine come through yesterday

[Davros]

I have been "invited" (£50) to a special preview, proceeds to DS's school and the NAS. I don't want to see the film, had enough with my AS sister and DS, but Alan Rickman is going to be there for Q&As I would LOVE to ask him any old question, prefaced with "by Grabthar's hammer....." Anyone who knows their AR films will know that comes from his best role ever!

[KarenThirl]

Loved him in that one Davros! Also Prof Snape tickles me every time.

[jenk1]

Oh you have to go Davros to meet Alan Rickman (i have a thing about him sshh dont tell DH) and then you have to tell us every little detail about him!!!

[Davros]

I practically sat next to him on a plane once! He was the other side of the aisle on a fairly small plane (he had the vegetarian option). I was so tempted to "Grapthar's Hammer" him then but he kept his head down and seemed to be working on a script for the whole journey. I couldn't intrude although I was VERY tempted.
Oh, this thread is supposed to be about a serious film

[jenk1]

whats graptharshammer?

[Davros]

Its the stupid phrase the character his character plays has as his catch phrase in the film Galaxy Quest (which also start Sigourney Weaver now I come to think of it). To clarify, he plays an actor in the film and the role he plays uses that phrase..... did I say clarify????

[emsiewill]

Did anyone see Richard & Judy the other Friday when Sigourney Weaver was on talking about the film?

I found it cringemakingly embarrassing that Richard (in his inimitable "Madely" style) kept referring to "autistics". As in

"autistics have trouble emapthising, don't they?"

and

"you normally see films where autistics have a special power"

I actually came on here to see if anyone had started a thread about it, it was so awful, but perhaps I was the only one to see it (or perhaps I am really stupid, and this isn't offensive at all - please forgive me if this is the case).

[macwoozy]

Is Alan Rickman the bloke who played in that film 'Gangs of New York'. If so, I find him strangely attractive, not quite sure why though.

emsiewill, I didn't see that one with Richard and Judy using the word Autistics, but it doesn't bode well with me either. Richard makes me squirm sometimes with some of his ridiculous comments.

[Davros]

I think the term "Autistics" is more widely used in the USA.... but I could be wrong. I don't find it offensive, but it sounds a bit ugly iyswim.
I think you must mean Daniel Day-Lewis? Don't think AR was in GONY.

[macwoozy]

Ah yes, don't know why I get those two mixed up. I remember seeing a film quite some time ago where Rickman played a ghost visiting his wife, I'm not so hot on films so I can't rememeber the title, but I recall finding him somewhat alluring then. With my pathetic lack of knowledge with films, no doubt that will most probably be someone entirely different.

"Truly madly deeply" was the ghost one with Juliet Stevenson - he was in "Sense and Sensibility" as well. In fact he has been in loads of things hasn't he? I rather like him too, definitely worth paying £50 to meet .
