@wordybirdy Oof. 
I am not knowledgeable enough to notice these things, but the confusion you mentioned does seem to be in line what fans of his have been saying. Small boo-boos, perhaps, but they do add up.
As a longtime journaler and someone interested in human memory, this is all... hmm. Part an interesting observation, part wanting to yell at people for not doing their job, because all of the mistakes stacking up aren't good.
@wordybirdy I agree with you - and I think he revealed quite a lot while talking about his (early) family life. It was subtly peppered throughout the book, but it was there.
Sorry to be a downer, but I searched for stuff here and there, and apparently there are a few timeline mistakes in the book itself, and apparently they didn't correct some of his misquotes of RHPS in the recent times.
Still, that was one hell of a life. I loved the bits about his gardens! Wish there was more photos, ha.
Yep, it gets super sassy. If anything, it was interesting to see a revered actor, in his late 70s, still go: "yeah, that person I worked with 40 years ago was kind of a dick."
He's fun, he's frivolous, he's frank. (everybody please clap...)
Anyway! As far as celeb memoirs go, it felt a little dry, but I didn't mind too much. It was an enjoyable read, and I hope Tim gets to do the things he said he still would like to do!
-> the other way around! And I'm left wondering about their craft - you know, the thing I'm supposedly there for.
If I could write my own memoir, it would be just like this.
But make no mistake, Tim does reveal quite a lot about his private life. He seems to understand the undercurrent his immediate family shaped in him, and we do get very candid glimpses in his substance abuse.
But most importantly, he's very open about the people he'd worked with! It's so refreshing to see.
Ah, I forgot to mention that I finished Tim Curry's autobiography, "Vagabond".
I was not familiar with his entire body of work, but I sure know him from Rocky Horror, Clue!, and as Skullmaster in Mighty Max. And let's not forget SPACE! - and all the other amazing roles I probably did not realise were his.
It was a unique memoir - I really appreciated his decision to keep his private life private, and focus on the public work instead. The celeb memoirs I usually read are ->
A while ago I filmed & wrote a tutorial on turning your photographs into art. Discussing overpainting techniques and best practices of combining painted art with photos. It was made for CSP, but the techniques are applicable to any art program!

On today's old art #ThrowbackThursday: the 2024 character sheet for my Fallen London character, The Starry-Eyed Poetess! I miss drawing her...
(My character sheet commissions are open, if you'd like one for yourself!)
@celesteh That is a valid concern. However, Israel has been using Eurosong as a positive propaganda machine for years. Maybe the contest does need to just die if they cannot ban them. It's no coincidence they keep landing in top 3, they are paying for it. The last time I watched (2023) their song was getting so much promo during breaks, it was so obvious and ridiculous.
But we do need to keep our eyes and news cycle on Gaza. Not sure what the right answer is, either. Sigh.
@celesteh The boycott really needs to happen. I stopped watching a few years ago because they ramped up the promotion of Israel VERY obviously during the show. It's probably going to be even worse now.
(to explain the plastics joke: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dangerous-crow-boy - I'm mostly amused because I know the person who popularised the whole thing!)
Oh, and a bit of synchronicity happened! I'd been randomly thinking about The Longest Journey. After Rowyn sent me the info on Vaiyae, I realised it's been exactly 20 years since I drew a human version of TLJ's Crow. It was for someone on Livejournal.
Funny how these cycles work!
