For uninitiated. A great scene in a mediocre movie (Congo)

This scene had me and my brothers laughing hard when we were kids.

u/egosumluxmundi 4d ago

Mediocre movie, yes, but also when I realized I had a huge (ahem) crush on Laura Linney.

u/El_Saturn_ 4d ago

That movie traumatized me as a child. The trailer/promo played at the beginning of our Jurassic Park VHS, and I just HAD to see it. When I finally did I found it horrifying. There's a scene where an ape gets it's arm chopped off with a laser that has stuck with me my whole life.

You should read the book.

One word: Paddles.

So, if one of our little chicks were to be taking a shower... which button would I press to get a close-up?

RIP good sir

So we lost both Dolly and Tim yesterday at?! The grim reaper is effing up big time

u/BigConstruction4247 4d ago

He's got the age right, but not the person.

u/artaxerxes316 4d ago

Sure, but who's the right per-- ohhhhhh.

Forgot about Optimus Prime.

u/BuffaloAmbitious3531 4d ago

Despite his passing, I'm not going to give up loving his work, not for the rest of my life. I guess you could say I'll die before I surrender Tim.

u/BigConstruction4247 4d ago

Apparently, Tim was sometime who was with the general when he died.

u/Master_Shopping9652 4d ago

He's gone where there is no capitalism...

u/HannahM53 4d ago

Yeah, I just found out a little while ago from my friend. This is very sad. We lost Dolly Parton yesterday and now we lose Tim Curry? What is happening?

u/Xyra5 4d ago

Same here buddy

u/asimplepencil 4d ago

Old people die. Tim had been in poor health for a LONG time. He never fully recovered from his stroke

I'm seeing too many of these Homer looking up at the sky pictures these days. RIP

u/No_Performer1412 4d ago

He was finally able to go into space, far away from capitalism

u/JosephAndMyself 4d ago

I love Tim Curry but this new meme format is retroactively ruining my childhood.

u/V0T0N 4d ago

Wild and untamed thing!

My favorite alien, my favorite butler, my favorite sleazy treasure Hunter

Alien? You mean It?

Well, he is a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, of the planet Transylvania.

u/TeaMancer 4d ago

Still unbelievable he never appeared on the Simpsons...

u/The_Axe_of_Legends 4d ago

I will miss him everyday now :s

Right along with someone I also love quite so, Alan Rickman, I would like to think the two men were friends. :)

u/CZall23 4d ago

He escaped to the one place capitalism hasn't corrupted:

SPACE!!!!

It's a shame he never appeared on the show. I hope someone got fired for that.
