when I was younger i thought he was funny, now i think he was justified

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 11 months ago

The best part is that even he had visible trouble containing his laughter.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[–] JackLSauce@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can confirm this is true across many generations

...which would mean that you probably cannot actually tell how old someone is based on recognizing the good doctor.

... which also does make sense given the sacred ritual of the time warp.

Of course. I took my uncle to midnight showing, and the guy in front of him heard him disparaging the "hippies" around the theater. When Dr Frank-N-Furter came down the elevator, the guy stood up, and when Dr. F made his reveal, the guy spun around to face my uncle, and yanked his long coat open to reveal a full Dr F costume. It traumatized my uncle for life.

It from 1990. Absolutely horrifying Pennywise

That shit was on network television during primetime! Scarred our entire generation.

At least the ones that weren’t already done in by Gremlins.

You really can't, because a lot of Curry's best works have become timeless classics that have gone on to gain new fans. I certainly wasn't alive for the original theatrical run of Rocky Horror Picture Show or the broadcast of the IT tv series, but they're the first two that come to mind.

[–] MrEff@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

You certainly were and are alive for Rocky Horror Picture Show's original theatrical release because it is still on it. It has been continuously shown in theaters since it came out. It is the longest running release in movie history as well as most played movie in terms of numbers of showings in history. And it just had a 4k release for its 50th anniversary, also on its original theatrical run.

I had to scroll way too far to see someone else who know him as a sweet transvestite from transexual Transylvania.

Muppets Treasure Island

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I remember him most from Clue though I probably saw him in The Shadow first.

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Seems silly, but I most remember him from his brief stint on Psych playing Nigel St. Nigel, a knockoff Simon Cowell.

I think he did a guest showing on Monk too.

And also as Nigel from the Wild Thornberrys.

I cannot believe I'm the only person here who is mentioning The Hunt for Red October.

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I loved that movie - if only because it had Sean Connery try to do a Russian accent with a very thick Scottish accent overlay.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 11 points 11 months ago

Yeah, that was some poor phrasing. But your comment made me laugh so I'll refuse to edit it.

[–] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 months ago

Command and conquer, then Clue, then home alone 2.

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For me, I relate Tim Curry with:

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Home Alone 2
Command and Coquer: Red Alert
Furngully

Im sure I've seen him in many many other things but those always come to mind. Sad what happened to him though.

Ferngully or Home alone 2 probably. Don't know which came first for me.

I know him from many things but he'll always be...

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

i was fortunate enough to see Clue on stage last october and the dude who played Bodily was having the time of our lives.

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Clue
Three Musketeers
Pirates of Penzance

But let's be honest, he raises the bar in basically any role.
