RIP Robin Williams

With something like Film The Fisher King under his belt...

"I've noticed that a lot of you haven't watched The World According To Garp, if that's the case, I recommend it."

That's been on my list for a while now, actually. (But, then, I still haven't even seen some of his better-known films.

Oh and course the Aladdin DV Ds would be out of print. Damn it, that's some bullshit from Disney.

Wow, I wasn't expecting Robin Williams' death. Today I was shopping at a clothing store, and I noticed that the clerk was watching Hook. And not long after that, I heard the news.

Sleep well. A brilliant, talented actor, and an even better stand-up comic. He will be sorely missed.

We loved him for this:

Taking a moment to remember all his great roles. Both the big and the small:

I'll miss him ;_;

People wanted him to be the King of Hyrule after that commercial. Specially with that epic beard. What Could Have Been doesn't even begin to cover it.

I don't even know what to say. Like for many of us, he was a big part of my movie experience from toddlerhood til now. This is as bad as losing a beloved family member, and I don't mean that as hyperbole.

RIP He was a true acting legend & a great man. And, personally, a big part of my childhood. At least he's free of his demons now.

Best wishes to his family.

My wife and I got front row seats to his Weapons of Self Destruction tour when it came to Little Rock a few years back...one of the funniest standup shows I've seen, I hurt from laughing before it was even halfway done. I watched Mork & Mindy whenever I could as a kid, and while I liked the comedic movie roles he took (that I've seen), I was more impressed by his work in Dead Poets Society, One Hour Photo, and Good Will Hunting.

This hurts...man, this hurts.

This is sad news indeed. Robin Williams was a huge part of my childhood and it's so sad to see him go. R.I.P Robin Williams as you will be fondly remembered for your great contributions to the movie industry. I will always look back at your films with fond memories...

It was raining yesterday. It's still raining today. I can't cry but I'm glad the world can. I just found out this morning. I mean I heard a rumor or two last night but I was on my way to bed. Now I know. Past year or so has been quite lossy for comedians. Harold Ramis, Jew Wario who also committed suicide, and now Mr. Williams. Another good person to add to the sorrows.

I hope he's found peace. I just wish it wasn't suicide and his own sorrows that took him..

David Wong of Cracked wrote a great article based around the news: http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/robin-williams-why-funny-people-kill-themselves/

I found one person stating that his divorces contributed to his depression and by extent indirectly led to his death.

Yow, that story about Chris Farley's death. Tugs at the ol' heartstrings...

I just remembered that theres a third NATM starring Williams slated for Christmas

I saw the trailer. And you KNOW they're now gonna plug Williams for all its worth in the marketing!

Just heard about this, and it's definitely gonna take a while to fully grasp it. Williams was a fantastic comedian (his stand-up is some of the most hilarious shit I've ever watched), but he had no problem dropping a truly dramatic performance when he wanted to. To see him gone just like that is just....unfathomable.

Oh Captain, my Captain, the world will mourn your passing. RIP.

Having a hard time laughing at the funny stuff today. Mork was funny awesome. Robin will be greatly missed.

Well sad to hear about Robin maybe the aferlife is going to be like his movie What dreams may come. I love that movie. You will be missed. RIP

Robin Williams in 2010: I ‘Don’t Have the Balls’ to Commit Suicide.

I'll miss him.

That Zelda ad made me fucking cry.

My heart really goes out to his family.

I actually hope it's not like What Dreams May Come, seeing how it's about trying to rescue someone who got damned to Hell for killing herself.

I, too, am going to miss him. I'm really only familiar with his most major roles, but even without being very familiar with his work, his presence in the entertainment industry was a palpable force. He will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace, Robin Williams.

Yeah, I was thinking, that's gotta be an awkward movie to watch in light of this...
