Is that seriously a question?

Don't get me wrong, Tim Curry is awesome but it's Dinero for christ sakes.

Your avatar made me think of it. Dinero is great, but he more or less plays the same character in every film. Curry plays all sorts of different characters, Futter, and Pennywise, to name a few.

I wish I could disagree. I should just do it for the easy +1's but I have to go to the chiro in 30 minutes so I'm still cranky and full of emo hurt and I dont want to take the time to play fight.

Tim Curry is obvious. He's guaranteed to thrill you, chill you, and fulfill you. Especially since we just did a RHPS showing last weekend at my school, and it was made of fucking win.

Dinero is great, and the fact that he does play a similiar character is what will make him be more memorable. Think of this comparison.. John Wayne and George Peppard. John Wayne played the same roles basically, and everyone know who he is. George Peppard was an awesome actor and versatile, but I have a feeling the majority of you don't have any clue who he is.

The only thing wrong with that comparison is George is primarily a tv actor...and we all know they change rolls every few years. Except of course those of us who are Smiley: inlove with Breakfast At Tiffany's.

While I love Breakfast at Tiffany's, the role I was really thinking about his versatility is in The Carpetbaggers. Though, I think I also screwed up using him as a comparison when I thought of the dates of their career heights. I'll have to think of a better example..

You need to see Stardust. 'Nuff said.

And it'll be De Niro easily, if for no other reason because he is in all of the block busters and Curry will do the off the wall cult movies.

Oh, and because De Niro is still working. What's the last thing Curry did?

Stardust DID rock.

My nervous system doesn't know whether to go into chuckling hilarity or romantic lust when I am reminded about that movie.
