It was one of the first movies I saw when I started thinking he was kind of interesting (before my love blossomed into full-blown madness). I thought it was cute, but the ending left me kind of "eh." And I thought Juliet Stevenson was actually REALLY annoying through the entire thing (both grief-stricken and being a spaz when he first comes back). I'm sure these are things I'll willingly overlook on a second viewing.
I have a friend in London I've known for 18 years and he's one of the goofiest guys I've ever met, so I know the reserve is only a first impression thing (I do love his accent, but after all this time I've learned how to keep the squeeing to a minimum). But I think Alan is understandably a little aloof in public, and just celebrities in general make me a little irrational, even ones I'm not obsessed by (not that I've seen that many). I think if I saw Alan in RL I'd probably forget to breathe though. And if I tried to speak, would certainly make an idiot of myself. All my energy would go towards preventing that, I guarantee there wouldn't be a single sexual thought in my head.
Hmmmm, natural note of disdain. I like it. I do too, only mine is intentional.
