Re: The Official Tim Curry Appreciation Thread!
I find it quite odd that I actually have something to contribute to this thread. Anyone seen Ridley Scott's Legend ? It's very Zelda-esque, very surreal and unique. Once you get past the quirkiness of the film, it's quite good. Tim Curry (in a very Ganonesque role) completely steals the show. Apt c...
