i forgot about it.
RIP Tim Curry.
i went to the symphony last year to see the movie Clue. the symphony played the music while the movie played on the big screen above. i’d never seen the movie, he was as amazing as everything else i’d seen him in.

#33"Clue" was my favorite Tim Curry performance. Such a great actor, will be missed.
I just love Clue. Understated and the exact opposite in equal measure. Just a great comedic movie, all held together masterfully by Curry.
I rewatch it every few years, still love it.
"No meaning yes!?"

#34I was a fan since university when someone down the corridor would have The Rocky Horror Picture Show playing all the time... Imagine my delight at seeing him on a packed London Tube one morning on my way to work. He asked to get by and I said something like "Just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right?" waiting for him to burst into song with the whole carriage joining in.. He just scowled and pushed past -…
I and a fellow clerk at a polling station realized that it would be only 15 minutes to the opening and we were the only ones manning it. he began: " it's astounding, time is fleeting" I joined in "madness takes its toll" we continued to the chorus, some seconds before the opening the other people managed to be there and we had our fun, too

He was an icon. It’s said you can tell a lot about a person by from where they recognize him.

He was easily my favorite part of that movie. The scene where he preaches his way out of getting The Black Spot lives rent-free in my head:

Why use a throwaway to shit on the memory of someone? This is the epitome of tacky.

time and again they still play it on the radio in my country, it's still somewhat popular
