Holy ****.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Damn.
Just, damn.

Depression sucks. It really sucks.

Going to go and dig through my DVD collection for some Robin Williams favorites to re-watch.

I have always hated the word "censorship", I prefer seeing it as just removing content that isn't suitable or is considered offensive

Yeah, no.

 

Sucks for his family, shame it was a suicide though.

If you are not a confused teenager who doesn't know anything about life, if you dont have 5 children who are going to starve without you you get to check out whenever you want with no recriminations. Just my opinion.

I thought this pic I found was a very nice representation of the  actor I grew up watching.

One of the greatest comedic minds that ever lived, by far.  It's a shame that he had so many struggles late in life.   ;(

I've always known that he was a struggling man though, you could see it in his eyes, even when he was smiling.

He will be missed. I agree he always seemed down and out the past few years. I have already busted out my copies of Good Will Hunting, Hook, Death to Smoochie, and Good Mourning Vietnam as I would like to watch them again. I will definitely miss his comedy and his amazing acting abilities in general.

Saw tons of films with him, but never liked him. He mostly did lame family movies (I'll explain why later). I don't know what people saw in him, but he never really impressed me with his acting either. It was ok, and that was it.

 

Movies that mattered:

- In Insomnia, it was like wtf is he even doing there, it was a complete miscast. He can portray a school teacher, but he can't convey any kind of threat whatsoever. And don't tell me it was intended this way, cause it wasn't.

 

Pseudo-important movies:

- Awakenings

- Dead Poets Society

- Good Will Hunting - basically the same role for those two movies. Most of the acting was: concerned face, patronizing irony face, then angry face when you "weren't supposed" to expect it. His character didn't do anything, everything was happening around him and he was like "oh..." and smiling dumbly for the most part of those movies.

 

Now, notice, the "best" films he stared in, he was never the main lead in those. There's a good reason for it: he couldn't act.

 

Movied that didn't matter and were sheit:

Bicentennial Man, Jumanji, Mrs. Doubtfire, Hook, etc, I could go on.

 

And I mean... google him up and you'll see "known for acting in: Night in the Museum". Yeah, that's some achievement. Most of his movies were sheit, cause he played in anything that was offered to him. Couldn't discern a good scenario from a piece of literary sheit.

 

I don't see him as an actor at all. Maybe he was good as a comedian in his times, but that's it. Let's not pretend he could act, ok?

 

Now that being said, I'm not happy or anything about his suicide. I mean, who the hell does he think he is - Heath Ledger? He's got no business committing suicide at his age. What nonsense is this?

I'm pretty sure mocking a dead person counts as a valid reason to report a post.

 

You make me sick.

Leave Bester alone. he's harmless. the fact he thinks Hedger is a better actor than Williams is punishment enough. Not to mention delusional.

 

The mvoies he listed for Williams is Williams beinga wesome.

 

For example, Bicentennial Man is a friggin awesome movie that was underrated.

 

Also, for a guy who claims to loathe Williams he sure has watched a lot of his films.
