So sad. The world's lost a great man. Of course, Fox News had to go and ruin it. As they tend to do.

[up][up][up]But at the end of the movie the chick was saved. Maybe someone would do the same for him.

So apparently in an off kilter way " Rorschach's Joke" has gone viral in relation to Robin's death. Kind of darkly fitting.

I heard Walt Disney World remained the firework show "Wishes" to "Genie's Wishes" as a tribute to him. I hope it gets uploaded to You Tube tommorow.

I've just been letting this sink in since I found out last night. I still just can't even react to it, I don't have anything to say about it, I've just been watching a few clips of him and his work here and there throughout the day.

I found one last night that was an interview with him and his daughter, related to the Zelda trailer Parable posted. I wanted to share it because it's just sweet to see the moments of them enjoying the game together, even if it is sad to think about now.

@L Dragon 2: Thank you for sharing that. I only occasionally check up on Doug Walker's stuff so I'd probably have missed it, and it was really worth watching.

Fox News is far from the first people to rant about Robin's suicide. While granted, suicide is never a good thing, but clearly many people don't understand the demons of depression. One of the hosts for Kiro News Radio 97.3 ranted about the manner of which Robin killed himself saying it was disrespectful to commit suicide in his own home; that he should have done it elsewhere. Like that really matters. HE KILLED HIMSELF!!!!

If I had a nickel for every film where Emma Stone falls off a balcony... I'd only have two nickels, but weird that there's two of them.

The report about 'Genie's Wishes' is not correct. I have a bunch of internet friends the work at Disney parks and there was no such change to the show yesterday.

Just thought I'd correct the information.

On the Fox News coward slur, well, what do you expect from them? There are literally no words to describe how horrible that organization is that haven't already been used. In an ideal world the man responsible would be getting his final paycheck from HR, but this is far from an ideal world.

It's just a shame that they did it to Williams' family when he hadn't even been buried yet.

He's probably got a lawyer that would take not too kindly to that, but it is a better option, I agree.[lol]

It gets worse though. Read this article from the Sydney Morning Herald website:

Yeah. That's Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire. NOT!!

First Bob Hoskins and then Robin Williams. Hook is now officially the hardest movie to watch.

So Zelda Williams has been getting so much abuse about her father's death, she left social media.

It sounds like those 2 suspended Twitter users thought they'd try to pull a prank. ... with a mock dead body. .... and telling her that it's her father's dead body. ... a day after he killed himself.

I now hate everything.
