They're getting desperate for attention.

And yet they won't picket Kevin Ward Jr*'s funeral. God, treat people equal! Do all the funerals or none.
The racer Tony Stewart killed.

God perhaps? Only time will tell whether or not either Monica Potter or Bob Gunton (or Doug Walker, if only out of spite) will join them this year or not.

In all seriousness however, this is pretty heartbreaking to everyone who knew him. My condolences goes out to his family and friends.

And here I am, and I still haven't watched Good Morning Vietnam or Mrs. Doubtfire yet (probably should though).

Since you mentioned him...

NOT monetized, btw.

I'm not too familiar with Robin Williams's Popeye movie--I've admittedly only seen a few pieces from it--but I was amazed at how true he was to the cartoon character when I saw this clip a few years ago.

"Jumanji" popped up in our recommended film list on Netflix tonight--I have to wonder if Netflix isn't promoting Robin Williams films. Regardless, we watched it, and I realized that I haven't felt this badly about a celebrity's personal decision to leave since Bill Waterson ended Calvin and Hobbes. Robin Williams played a huge part in my childhood. He was Mork from Ork and he was Genie and he was Mrs. Doubtfire and he was Jack. He was Peter Pan and he was the Absent-Minded Professor and he could even be a disgraced psychologist-turned-meat-department-manager in "Dead Again" and he could even be a dead surgeon in "What Dreams May Come." And that's just scratching the surface.

I don't often say much about celebrity deaths, but I really do feel that the world is a slightly darker place now.

He was a great comic/actor with a woderful presence. Kind of funny that no movies he starred in after the year 2000 were critically acclaimed.

World's Greatest Dad was highly regarded. Bobcat Goldthwait is a hit or miss director, but he was firing on all cylinders for that film. Excellent, and very eerie in retrospect.
 
Poor Robin was dealing with Bi-polar Disorder, relapsing into addiction, and he was in the early stages of Parkinson's. I know about the first two and almost killed myself because of it. Having the third would probably drive me to do the same.

Rest in peace Robin Williams. I didn't agree with many of your views, but you did make me laugh. I remember watching Mork and Mindy with my parents when I was a kid.

Just wanted to note my admiration for the work he did in the roles he had in both Insomnia and One Hour Photo, respectively.

The massive amount of SSRI and dopamine related brain damage from his years of cocaine abuse and his overriding mental health problems couldn't have done anything but hasten his poor choice for how to end his life IMHO.

I didn't want to say anything cliche so I'll just leave it as I was disappointed by his recent movies, which were okay at best, so I really hoped he made one last movie (one that would top Mrs. Doubtfire) before he left.
