derex3592 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 RIP good sir. That Law and Order SVU was one of the very best of the series. He was amazing. Nanu nanu.
coronadlux Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Heard the news as I was on my way home from work. Really sad. This one hit me in the gut. I love Aladdin. Dead Poet's Society is a classic too. I know he found his way to Neverland "Second star to the right and then straight on till morning"
christ Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fwlHac2bIQ Don't forget about this performance. Real feels. Edited August 12, 2014 by christ
Kanedas Bike Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 RIP Probably one of the only people anywhere that actually liked What Dreams May Come among his many other roles. -b.
abbadon Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I liked What Dreams May Come and Insomia. Really good actor all around, not just comedy. He will be missed... RIP
Shadow Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Came home to this news after being on the road most of it. This really sucks. I had no idea he had depression and it's tragic his life ended this way. Loved his roles in Aladdin, Hook and Goodwill Hunting. Farewell Robin Williams.
TangledThorns Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Popeye was Robin William's first movie role and is one of my favorite movies growing up. It's kinda cheesy but I loved it as a kid and its worth watching if you've never seen it before. Edited August 12, 2014 by TangledThorns
Black Valkyrie Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Just saw the news, very sad, my condolences to his family. I remember watching him way back from Mork & Mindy & Popeye. He was a Nintendo fan.
Negotiator Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Sucks. RIP Robin. I remember playing with my Mork figure and his egg ship as a kid.
taksraven Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 So much talent. Can't believe it happened. We will never see his like again.
Mr March Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 A terrible loss. Good Morning Vietnam was one of those films that came along at the right age for me, just prior to adulthood when I was first learning to develop an appreciation for drama and mature storytelling in film. While it would still be many years before I delved into proper dramatic media, Williams and this film had a significant impact on my development, my own sense of humor and that irreverant stand for freedom of speech which I hold dear. His comedy and dramatic roles only expanded from there and produced a wonderful body of work we could all enjoy. Robin lived as full a life as most of us can only dream to, so while I'm sad he's gone I'm proud of what he's done. Farewell my lovely man.
Mommar Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I suppose I have a bit of a different perspective. It's pretty clear from stories from friends and family that he was a Manic Depressive. He would disappear for days on end, then suddenly appear and be bright, cheerful, put everyone in stitches and then disappear again. That's a terrible way to live, I know, because I have it too. I would say to anyone who is saddened by his passing to think of anyone they may know who is truly depressed and let them know it's okay and they aren't alone. That can make a huge difference in these situations.
Gakken85 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I remember him as a wee tike as Mork. I think Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society are his best works by far.
big F Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 A tragic loss, by far one of the funniest people ever to grace the silver and cathode ray screens. I loved everything he did. There are three more films due out that he worked on, I wonder if they will come out now ?
