Someone has it out for comedians who have a connection with Nintendo! First Rik Mayall, and now Robin Williams.

It's almost ironic that it was a suicide because in his best film in my opinion, World's Greatest Dad, his son commits suicide via erotic asphyxiation. It then happens to be that everyone in the world has only nice things to say about the even though the film made him seem as shitty as possible.
If you would have asked me about Robin Williams before he died I would have probably had negative things to say. If it wasn't a dramatic role, I was typically annoyed by on-screen presence. I wonder if the domino effect inspired by his death is true to the awesome film he was in.

If there is an afterlife, part of me really hopes that he'd be doing this.
That said, damn... Harold Ramis, Bob Hoskins, and now Robin Williams. Those three guys were my childhood. This really, really hurts.

The internet right now.
I love that bit.
My dad and I would watch Popeye every time it was on when I was in elementary school. Wait. I don't see Popeye in Peter's Robin Williams Universe.
I won't pretend to be a fan since the only movie of him I can really remember right now (besides Flubber and Bicentennial Man) is Hook.
Loved that film, though. Rest in Pan, Williams.

Ugh I'm avoiding my Facebook right now because my newsfeed is just full of people mourning for Robin Williams, and that just makes me more depressed.

You're right. If you asked me, I would have said he was extremely annoying on talk shows. And I still think he was. But there's no question that he was also a very gifted actor with a sharp mind for comedy, and by all accounts a very decent man. Any suicide is a sad. Except Hitler's. That was ok.

I bet this will be like JFK or Michael Jackson where everyone remembers where they were/what they were doing when they learned that he died. As for me, I was working an 8-hour shirt as a grocery store checker when my last customer of the day mentioned that Robin Williams committed suicide. I didn't believe her at first. But that revelation of information kind of ruined the rest of my day.

I'm not trying to be mean but he was just a guy who made movies. I don't really understand how everyone is so bereft over this, like, I get it in a sense that you're sad someone you liked is no longer but it becomes incoherent to me.

We feel this way because he was very talented and funny, and we grew up with and enjoyed his movies quite a bit. Also, he was fairly young and took his own life out of depression. That is why ( some people) are so sad.

When I was a kid, I loved Vincent Prince. I used to watch his movies and basically it started a life-long love of Horror. I always talked about how I wanted to meet him and was always wondering why he didn't make any new movies.
Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, I loved the dude. It wasn't until probably 2001 when I wrote a paper about wanting to meet him for English class that I even learned he had died. I was born in '91, he died in '93.
Was I upset? Not really. People like that are so removed from my life, I hadn't even known he was dead and thus was before the Internet was really accessible for me to even find out. What I'm trying to say is, we don't think about these people really before they die. Sometimes we don't even realize they're dead.

True sometmes. Difference as you know is that Vincent Price was dead before you knew who he was, was an old man and it was probably his"time". None of these can be said about Robin and me.
Still, your entitled to your own opinion. Truly tho, this is the first time a celebrity has died, where I felt truly and genuinely sad. not Phil Seymour Hoffman and not Mihael Jackson.

Normally, I don't really care much - and it's fine you don't care. Some people are just more emotional than others. I know people who are actually bawling over his death. I'm not one of those. But Williams had an impact on my childhood - at one point, I wanted to be him when I grew up. By all accounts, he was a really good guy, despite his flaws. He did a lot of good in the world, and there's a whole ton of shitty people, and it always sucks when someone actually decent kicks off.
