Tim Curry passes away

[Default to the negative]

another career opportunity by steadfastly staying in retirement.

Which is a shame. What are some of your favourite Tim Curry moments?

[Nowhere Man]

Nae need fae that man

Tim's a great lad, i'd go out for a Curry with Mr. Curry

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

You fucking dick!

Loved his triple toe-loops at Innsbruck.

Me too.  What a legend.

[biggytitbo]

Tim curry, Tim rice, the tastiest Tims.


Clue though, what a fucking film Clue is. Might be my favourite.

[Hey, Punk!]

Can we stop this please?

[garnish]

Yes, dead happy to be alive still lol!

[Bryan Cocks]

Can we stop this please?

Yes, please. Stop being cunts.

These threads are shit.

[Malcy]

Yet another shitty thread to clog up the already clogged with shite GB section. It amazes me how many people must think they are ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HILARIOUS with threads like these and the endless unnecessary clone threads. Forum is going to shit.

I'll be intrigued to see his early lead role in an Armchair Theatre, "Verite" by Howard Schuman, when it turns up on the Talking Pictures channel in a week or so. Curry also deserves commendation, in my book, for turning down the part of "the Doctor" in a never made, 1980's-mooted film of "the show".

[St_Eddie]

Yeah, this thread is shit.  It's in poor taste, pointless and unoriginal.  What's worse is that it made me think that Tim Curry was dead.  That alone is unforgivable.

[machotrouts]

machotrouts is dead...

[St_Eddie]

machotrouts is dead...

The machotrouts is dead!  Long live the... wait, what was the name again?  I've forgotten already.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Has anyone ever done one where they say "The Queen Is Dead", then start talking about the album by The Smiths? That would be highly amusing.

[The Culture Bunker]

I very much liked his voiceover work as the titular character in the first Gabriel Knight game. Marvellous stuff.

[Spiteface]

Tim Curry's finest hour was clearly voicing Kilokahn in Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad:

I'll stand by you on that.  It's an absolutely ludicrous and absurd attempt at a New Orleans accent but at the same time, it's like buttery candy for the ears.

Also, any excuse to post a link to this.

Funny, when I first played that game 25 or whatever years ago (fucking hell), I had no clue what a New Orelans accent was like. I probably don't now, come to think of it. But I knew he sounded like personification of cool. Great supporting cast, too.

They shit the bed with that sequel, mind you.

Just stay away from the 20th Anniversary Edition, which replaces the original cast with unknowns (and replaces the art with technically superior but artistically, vastly inferior artwork).  To be fair, the replacement cast do a good job but I mean come on, if you're given a choice between a bunch of nobodies, or Tim Curry, Mark Hamill and Michael Dorn, who are you going to choose?  Only a madman or a fool would choosse the former.

They shit the bed with that sequel, mind you.

If you mean in terms of the casting of Dean Erickson (you might remember him from such roles as... a background extra in an episode of Fraiser) as Gabriel Knight, then yes, yes they did.  If however, you mean that the game itself is bad, then I strongly but respectively disagree.  Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within remains one of the few FMV games which is actually good.  Yes, the acting is bad (across the board - well, except for the main antagonist) but the story is excellent and in equal turns, educational (outside of the werewolf shenanigans, I mean).

Any game which makes an agoraphobic player actively want to visit Munich just to buy a cuckoo clock, has to be doing something right.

Can I just say, and I'm not being sarcastic, that I think these threads are hilarious and please keep doing them.

[Captain Z]

I just had to look up Tim Curry and I definitely remember he already did pass away.



RIP

I've moved the Gabriel Knight discussion over to it's own dedicated thread.

Given that Tim Curry was in Scary Movie 2, it was quite cruel to devise a butler character, just so that they could mock Tim Curry's withered hand.

Where's Tim Chips when you need him?

Fucking hell, give it a rest with these threads. They're not funny. This is CaB, not some witless conglomeration of tedious edgelord cunts.

Yes, yes, yes.  A thousand times yes.
