BennoOne of the most beautiful things in the world remains the moment in one of the final Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 cutscenes where Tim Curry _barely_ holds it together. Both that it exists, and that that's the take they went with.

If @embilbie and @fullofmang haven't seen this they absolutely should.
full of mang
embilbie@benno @fullofmang :D :D :D
nick@benno That is even better than I imagined it being.
..... SPAYCE!
Colin@benno If you had that take available how could you not pick it? It's perfect, no notes.
🇺🇦 haxadecimal 🚫👑@benno Space, space! Gotta get to space!
Funky Bob@benno Tim Curry is a gift we a barely deserving of.
Gus@benno Ha! I was thinking "wow, I wonder if there's a blooper reel". Lo and behold, there is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXWUfm6hm8I
Though a quick skim didn't show any Tim Curry. My head canon is now "he went in, smashed it all out in one take, and left before they could ask to reshoot anything".

Justified Ancient of Moomin@projectgus @benno @drbuttocks there is a whole oral history of the scene in Vice: https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjkv9q/an-oral-history-of-tim-currys-escape-to-the-one-place-uncorrupted-by-capitalism
Rob Greene@benno I would argue that, given the campness of the Red Alert franchise up to that point, they *had* to choose this take. How could they not?
esko@benno it is the fuckin purest

@benno I will never tire of watching Tim Curry struggle to hold in his laughter.

The Complex Games Apologist@benno His performance on LEXX is equally priceless
