We will be watching Robots or Flubber

I've seen it. I remember Williams in that.

Good choice. It's a fun, underrated film. It's weird as hell too. It also has this gem of a line "I ain't man enough to be a mother."

Shame to read this. He was quite a talent. My favorite of his movies is Death the Smoochy.

Re: Robin Williams RIP?
 

Let's not forget Aladdin. Perhaps the best voice acting ever.

This is the one I think is sort of better. The other one makes Aladdin look too happy.

This one really hit me where it hurts.

I always felt empathy for Robin's characters, great actor and comedian.

R.I.P

It has been said before that the comedian is often the saddest person in a room full of laughter. His standup was unmistakable and the world never got enough of him and Jonathan Winters.

Just watched this a couple nights ago, I really did not see this coming.

Re: Robin Williams RIP
 

Tell me if anyone hears any good Robin Williams suicide jokes. This is the kind of thing you (or at least, I) need a good laugh over. Robin would have wanted people to laugh about it.

the saddest part about this, to me, is that it's only after a person is gone that people really celebrate them

i mean, everyone is talking about Robin Williams now. but in his last few years, while people certainly still recognized him and knew who he was, it's not like he was a hot topic of conversation or front page news

if he hadn't killed himself, people wouldn't be posting all about Robin Williams and watching his movies now

maybe that's why he did it. The longing to be recognized and celebrated. This could be a difficult thing for someone to cope with who has tasted maximum fame... may be a total shot in the dark, as i know little about the man Robin Williams. But it's easy to see how, especially those in the acting profession, might crave a taste of recognition. acknowledgment. And he wasn't likely to get that to this degree, unless he did what he did.

And it just makes me think, it's a strange world. Are we all capable of sharing appreciation for each other while people are still alive? Or are we all hogging each other's spotlight, in a sort of selfish way. Maybe the answer is to find it within ourselves to appreciate each other more than we do. Be willing to look outward and appreciate those around us, as opposed to focusing so much inwards on the self. Perhaps some people don't need that acknowledgment to be happy, yet maybe some people do.

Anyhow, those were my thoughts about Robin Williams

Re: Robin Williams RIP
 

This is terrible. So bad. So, so bad.

RIP Robin Williams, so many childhoods shattered.

Re: Robin Williams RIP
 

I was really, really hoping this wasn't true.

R.I.P Robin Williams.

Re: Robin Williams RIP
 

I dare say it's possible that on some level, that could have factored into his decision to do it. He is ROBIN WILLIAMS afterall. He may go dormant at times, but Robin Williams is like a God. He WILL be a God now. He is the Charlie Chaplin/Groucho Marx of our generation.

And actually, this makes me wish I had seen all of his movies. And owned them. Or at least see Good Morning, Vietnam. I need to see if I can... find that somewhere to watch.

Re: Robin Williams RIP
 

Hoffman died - everyone would watch his movies
Now Wiliams dies - everyone will be watching his movies for a while

Same goes for music and Winehouse & Jackson.

Re: Robin Williams RIP
 

I still have yet to see Good Morning Vietnam or Dead Poets Society.

Really truly sad. I hope he gets some peace now. There was always a sadness about Robin that even showed through all the mania.

He was gifted. Good Will Hunting, Good Morning Vietnam, One Hour Photo and of course, The World According to Garp are my favorites.

RIP all the good ones are leaving us.

Re: Robin Williams RIP
 

Wait a minute. I've been thinking Robin hung himself, but that's not what asphyxiation is. That's where you use the plastic bag over your head. Sorry for being graphic, but I don't know why I immediately thought "hanged himself." It must have just seemed more dramatic.

Re: Robin Williams RIP
 

even though i think Dead Poets' Society is pretty bad, his performance makes it watchable. i haven't seen Good Will Hunting in a long time, but i loved it at the time and i think his performance was my favorite part then too. he's never been a favorite comedian of mine outside of a few bits and Mork and Mindy, but i've always had serious respect for him, mostly based on his dramatic roles and things like his fantastic guest appearance on Louie. in interviews he always seemed like such a down to earth and honest guy who just liked acting out occasionally.
