Epic Tea Time with Alan Rickman. It is awesome.

From here:

http://io9.com/5935919/alan-rickman-is-awesome-even-when-hes-making-tea-in-extreme-slow+motion

Alan Rickman is commonly termed a "phone book" actor because so many people would be happy to listen to him read the phone book. But would you watch him make tea in super slow-motion while the soundtrack to Inception plays? Well, here is your chance.
This video is part of artist David Michalek's Portraits in Dramatic Time film series. Each video features a "glacially paced performance" of an actor, aided by ultra-high speed, high-definition cameras. Each performance took a mere 10-15 seconds to shoot, but was then stretched out over several minutes.

By pairing Rickman's performance with the Inception piece "Mind Heist," Michalek has created the impression that Rickman is in Inception's top-level dream, making tea while other characters are off having adventures in dreams within dreams within dreams. Rickman manages to make his tea stirring and its aftermath as intense as anything that happens in those lower dreams.

So fucking awesome.

That was pretty amazing.

He was dialing it in for the first half of the movie but the second half was a sight to behold.

ryutaro's mama · Aug 18, 2012

He got tossed outta the Nakatomi Plaza more epic than I would have.

Trojita · Aug 18, 2012

Alan. It's me again. Remember that turtle joke for the party. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

DJ_Lae · Aug 18, 2012

Fantastic.

I got chills when he looked at me roughly four minutes in.

Grisby · Aug 18, 2012

Glad I stayed for the second half.

mysteriousmage09 · Aug 18, 2012

Haha! I fucking lost it when he looks at the camera at 3:55. The music with the expression on his face is pure gold.

Yes, exactly. This was amazing because of how well it worked with the epic Inception music.

That part would make a perfect gif to quote people who post something negative towards or against your opinion.... as in "I can't believe you just fucking said that!"

Truly an epic piece of filmmaking. Would see again!

I lol'd at the eggs. The milk might have been the most interesting looking though.

Marche90 · Aug 18, 2012

Awesome video is awesome. Tbh I was laughing the whole video.

Sinatar · Aug 18, 2012

It just dawned on me while watching that video that there is now a whole generation of people who when they see Alan Rickman don't see Hans Gruber, they see some nob from Harry Potter.

Oh.

Oh god.

What if you see him as "Dr. Lazarus"?

By Grabthar's Hammer. . .

Parts of that film could actually be used in an alzheimer's infomercial.

eshwaaz · Aug 19, 2012

Fantastic. I love that, when he's throwing the tea off the table, he does the exact same thing with his mouth and tongue as he does in Die Hard when realizes he's falling to his death.

Atrus · Aug 19, 2012

Sort of looks like Dustin Hoffman a bit.

Too bad it's 7 mins. Would make for a good 'fuck this shit' gif.

Kettch · Aug 19, 2012

I would watch 2 hours of this over Inception.
