RIP: Robin Williams

[~mikey b]

Loved him in Dead Poets and Good Will Hunting.

Really a sad loss. Rip.

Never saw those movies.

[Name Redacted]

Nanu Nanu!

And Good Morning Vietnam was my favorite of his movies, Dead Poet's in second.

Really didn't like the movies in his latter years, but hey, a lot of comedians of that era lost their edge and went to kids movies. Still a fan though.

RIP.

We were just watching the Bird Cage last night. How sad. One of a kind.

[wolfelot]

So sorry to hear this.

He was better than cronauer, just ask him.

I think he suffered from an over active mind, like Seymour Hoffman. Different, but the same. Tough to shut it down. ..

Tears being shed, 40 pouring out

Just watched Jumanji with my kids yesterday. Good shit. Whatever. His older stand up stuff from early 90's..? Was just classic. Sad to hear for sure.

I had the privilege of skiing with Robin Williams at Alpine Meadows once about 15 years ago. Loaded a chair with him. He was on tele gear too. I didn't recognize him at first. He looked down at my gear and said "Hey. Your binding is broken." I looked at him the way I always look at smart asses that say that, looked at his gear, looked back at him and realized who he was. I just sat there gaping and stammering and he just said "Yep. It's me." A hell of a nice guy. We chatted a bunch, took a few runs together, and then he took off. Ran in to him at the Cottonwood that evening and he made a point to come up and say hi and chat for a few minutes with my friends then went to his table. Bought us all dinner and beers without telling us. A genuinely nice guy.

Awesome. Makes me feel worse.

Great story.

I saw him about a half dozen times at Alpine in the last 20 years. He seemed to be a passionate skier.

Dammit. Well this news caught me off guard. So tragic.

No question that he had some fine movie roles, but, for me, the stand-up was the most brilliant. I just can't fathom how a mind can keep going like this for an hour and a half. Not a normal person. Still, I laughed, a lot:

[stalefish3169]

As much as his comedic roles are amazing, DPS is one of my all time favorite movies. This was chilling and difficult to watch just now. Fuck! R.I.P.



"We are food for worms, lads. Because believe it or not, everyone in this room is going to one day stop breathing, turn cold, and die." Awwww,man!

Wow. A bit surreal for me, my daughter and I had the day off today and we watched Good Will Hunting together. Then my wife got home from work and mentioned that he had died. Of course the man who wrote the words, "Cocaine is God's way of telling you that you're making too much money" had demons. It seems sad and ironic to me that in his later years he portrayed characters who seemed to have great perspective on the struggle of life. I found his portrayals of physicians to be highly credible (Good Will Hunting, Awakenings) in stories that are genuinely unique and moving.

A bright light has been extinguished, and the world will be a little more drab for his passing.

I hope you have found peace, Mr. Williams.

Big fan of Robin Williams. Rest in peace.

Mork and Mindy was one of my faves growing up.

Well, after being subjected to his movie list, I gotta say, most of them sucked. Although I forgot he was in Insomnia. But, lord, what a funny man he was. Jezuz, he made me laugh a lot. Last time I saw him do a thing was on Charlie Rose, of all places, and he got so much momentum that you had to watch it twice to catch it all between the laughing. I guess having a crappy sitcom fail after just one season was the final straw for him. Too bad, I thought he was a little tougher than that. RIP

Pretty damn sad to hear this. He was one of the truly funny guys in the stand up world. RIP Robin, I know many people will miss you.

Spook, welcome to my ignore list. Asshole.

I remember watching What Dreams May Come. A powerful movie that really showed his range as an actor. Sad to see him go.
