As promised many moons ago, a video using the movie The Search For John Gissing starring Alan Rickman.
I got the idea for this video after I'd put my mp3s on random and this song was the very first song to play. John Gissing kept jumping around in my mind during the song. As I put the video together I considered it to be a sweetened and condensed version of the movie, the “sweetening” being bits from the deleted scenes.
If you haven't seen the movie, the basics are: John Gissing (Alan Rickman) has plans to reach the top of the corporate ladder, but Matthew Barnes (Mike Binder) is being brought in from America to replace him and Gissing knows this. The women you'll see in the video are Gissing's girlfriend (teh one who be kissin' teh man!) and, very briefly, Gissing's secretary and Barnes' wife. That's it. Now you can watch the video.
I hope you enjoy.

My computer hated me for even trying. If you are still interested, here's the link:

I finally settled on putting in the fun Gissing scenes and just threw in the Barnes stuff in an attempt to make some kind of story and be done with it. I think I'll stick to making videos using source that I actually like. Oh well.

I like to think that since most of it wasn't in his control and maybe even he figured it was pretty much going into the toilet, he just gave up. It seems to me that he was forcing himself to do most of it.
I'll forgive him, but only because he looks absolutely delicious throughout! :P

Anyway, the only scene I found him funny was when he drank at the fountain. The rest was merely embarrasing. E.g. the scene when he can't read his presentation due to the lack of glasses. And what shortsightred person puts his/her glasses off before leaving the house? Duh!
Yeah, he looks good. But I'd rather look at his picture *lol*
