Cassidy 51 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 This bummed me the fuck out. I'm still sad. From what I read, he was a great guy. His movies and stand-up were funny as hell. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter 851 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I was absolutely shocked when I heard this earlier. Celebrity deaths don't usually phase me much. Not that I am an uncaring person, but rather because I don't care to follow celebrities and the life they lead does not appeal much to me. There have been a few celebrities deaths that have bothered me over the years though, mainly John Ritter, John Denver, Steve Irwin (Croc Hunter) and now Robin Williams. I really liked Robin a lot. Losing him is like a part of my childhood dying because I grew up watching Mork & Mindy and Happy Days, then all his movies. The memories of watching "Mork" while sitting at the table eating a grilled cheese for lunch and drinking a red pop while doing it seem like just yesterday. Extremely sad, but as shocking as it is, it really should not come as a complete shock. He had recently went back to treatment for alcohol abuse and depression and I know all too well how the throws of that addiction can utterly destroy your mind & spirit. I just wish someone close to him would have seen how bad it must have truly been before it came to this. That's one thing us alcoholics are good at though, hiding things and not telling anyone how bad things really are. Odd thing is I actually just watched "RV" for about the 6th time yesterday and was thinking while I was watching it how there are just some comedians that will probably never be matched, and he was one of them. Great loss, thanks for all laughs Robin and Godspeed, you'll be truly missed Plumbers Crack, kylebees, Dr Diamond and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J4MES OX4D 9,810 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Very sad news. One of my favorite actors growing up with quick-wit and snappy creativity. Mrs Doubtfire was a truly fantastic and funny film. RIP indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbers Crack 4,035 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 First saw him in Mork and Mindy and was hooked but I loved his stand up best of all, very sharp!! He could always make me smile A great loss Thanks to Capn_Underpants for the artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deterioration 443 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I've always admired him. I was first introduced through his stand up. Interested to learn more about the circumstances surrounding his passing. Plumbers Crack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberninja2601 1,103 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 it's very sad. It's kind of amazing that a person who studied drama at one of the most prestigious schools would also turn out to be so funny. Amazing talent all around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J4MES OX4D 9,810 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I was watching Family Guy last night on BBC Three and it was the viewer mail episode with the infinity Robin Williams's. So tempted to watch Mrs Doubtfire later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander_Undies 618 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I was watching Jeopardy when breaking news came scrolling across the screen. I read it aloud to my mom since she can't see that far away "Oh my God! Robin Williams died! He committed suicide..." To which she was in shock. I was suddenly sad when I saw that he died, but I was even more sad when I saw that he did it to himself. I hope he's happy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chookes 965 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Sad. Mrs Doubtfire, Jumanji, Jack I watched over and over again when I was younger. tronic44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dattebayo 446 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I was in the shower cooling off froma fever when i heard about it on the radio the day he died. It was cool to hate on Robin Williams because Family Guy said it was, but even while people around me continued this weird-a$$ disdain for him, I never understood it. I mean, sh*t, have you ever watched Ms. Doubtfire or Good Will Hunting? Great movies, each of them showcasing his wide range in acting chops. Is he eccentric? Of f*cking course he is. He's Robin Williams. And I loved him for it. Sigh... The world is missing a funny man now, and no one out there will be able to fill his shoes.

JsinOwl 644 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 What about him is there to hate on? I distinctly remember Dead Poets Society being the first movie to move me to (adult) tears and Popeye moving me to (child) tears. I feel the urge to go watch Jumanji. His wife recently came out and said that he was fighting the early stages of Parkinson's Disease. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/robin-williams-parkinson-disease-medicine-deepened-depression-article-1.1905014 If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate.
