Robin Williams, dead at 63

[nodtveidt]

f*ck. One of the greatest of our time. Apparent suicide. This sucks. Seemed like it was a hoax at first, but it apparently isn't.

WOW that sucks, I have seen him live a few times and he was awesome. He was one of the few great comics of our generation. He will with out a doubt be missed. One has to wonder why someone so successful would take his own life, I know we don't know what was going on in his personal life but nothing can be so bad to make one want to do that...........so sad.... RIP Robin.

He had been battling depression and drug abuse for a long time, that is certainly known. Neither are respecters of either fame or fortune, of which he had much.

Awful news. Still hope it's not true.

Edit: coroner report above. Guess that's it.

This hit me like a ton of bricks this evening. I was in a store and the cashier who told us seemed more concerned with sharing gossip than actually being sad for the world's loss. Is it bad that i wanted to punch her in the forehead? ^^f*ck (!) indeed.

[nodtveidt]

Not everyone will share the same sense of loss. This hit me pretty hard as well, especially after I heard that it might be a hoax. Still, some people just don't care, and that's fine, really... it takes all kinds.

Yeah, I logged on my Facebook and I'm seeing a bunch of posts spamming this news, was like WTF ?? NO WAY!!!

I always liked Robin Williams,  but his performances in RV and Father of the Year really endeared him to me as a favorite. I don't feel a sense of loss as I did with Kurt Vonnegut, but far more than most celebs/artists.

what are some of your favorite Robin Williams movies? Let's celebrate his life by enjoying his work, eh?

Jumanji
One Hour Photo (f*cking creeeeeeeeeeeepy)
Mrs. Doubtfire
Jack

Don't think I really need to explain why this is one of my favorites.

Hit me like a ton of bricks as well. He's one of those names that I never expected to see in some headline like this. I grew up watching his movies.

And I loved watching his videos with his daughter Zelda. That's so sad. I'm feeling pretty bummed now. Man.


@Mathius- I can't stand that. A couple people I work with kept trying to figure out if it was this or that and blah blah. I'd want to punch her as well.

[NightWolve]

Good ole "Hook!!!" That'd be in one of my favs. Also "Dead Poets Society."

Hook. Aladdin. Gonna cry now.

Jack was my favorite. Was totally convincing playing a 10 year old in a 40 year old body. Was also great when he was a senior in high school...and in his life.
