RIP Robin Williams (1 Viewer)

[shader]

How sad. Just recently watched Jumanji with the kids.

so many good performances, it's hard to know which one I'll remember most.

 

[timschochet]

He was great in the Fisher King just about damned near everything.

FYP.

 

[AAABatteries]

God dammit.

RIP Oh Captain, my Captain.

For a comedian, I think his best work was in his movie dramas. Love this one and Good Will Hunting.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

I'm actually sad. Dammit.

 

[timschochet]

For me, best funny performance is the voice of the Genie.

Best dramatic performance is Goodwill Hunting.

Damn damn damn I'm gonna miss this guy.

 

[AAABatteries]

Best ever comedian turned dramatic actor?

Tough call. Probably need to give Dane Cook a little more time.

 

[Al O'Pecia]

Best ever comedian turned dramatic actor?

Either Williams or Jamie Foxx.

 

[joffer]

Dead Poets Society...easy

RIP

 

[snitwitch]

oof this one hurts

 

[MikeIke]

He was great, but there was always trouble lurking underneath. I always felt he wouldn't meet a natural, old age end.

Nanu Nanu, Mork. You'll be remembered and missed

 

[Jefferson the Caregiver]

Suicide? No way

Surprising, but none of us know what his life was really like.

I got the impression that he had mental issues his entire life, and the drugs and alcohol were his method of self-medicating.

Seemed like he was damned if he did, and damned if he didn't.

Yeah, was just thinking the same thing, that sucks.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

He was great in the Fisher King just about damned near everything.

FYP.

Let's not go overboard. He was good in several roles. He wasn't great in more than a couple, if that.

 

[The Man With No Name]

Nanu nanu

 

[VA703]

Mrs doubt fire

Braveheart

Bah

 

[GOB]

Hook

Jumanji

Dead Poets Society

Mrs. Doubtfire

Other than that, I didn't love his movies. Tough break

 

[NREC34]

I liked Good Morning Vietnam of his movies though I know I haven't seen them all.

 

[Otis]

Sucks.

Loved his routine on golf NSFW for f-bombs

[belljr]

wow.... loved Robin Williams

rip

 

[Gordang]

RIP robin williams , I will always remember you for making my childhood a little better with the movie Mrs Doubtfire. Thank you for bringing joy into our lives.

 

[shadyridr]

I mustve been the only person who had no clue he had a drug problem.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

One Hour Photo was one of his underrated roles.

 

[AAABatteries]

Forgot about Awakenings and Patch Adams - liked both of those too.

 

[Limp Ditka]

I mustve been the only person who had no clue he had a drug problem.

You?

:(

 

[HughHoney]

Really sucks. Was hoping it was another Robin Williams when I clicked on the thread. What is it with great comedians and early deaths.

 

[CurlyNight]

I mustve been the only person who had no clue he had a drug problem.

I don't recall having heard it either but again I don't watch Hollywood shows. If it wasn't highlighted on the news somewhere I wouldn't know. But I bet most actors have drug/alcohol problem and anxiety and depression too. When you are famous, you are expected to produce better and better, or at least feel that way. I bet that had an impact on him and it finally got the best of him.

 

[saintfool]

i'm not entirely surprised, honestly. his career was full of ups and downs. i felt like the last few years were hard for him as some of the audience turned away from him in some ways. great, great comedian and comic actor.

 

[CurlyNight]

One Hour Photo was one of his underrated roles.

I really like that flick. He played so many roles greatly.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

I mustve been the only person who had no clue he had a drug problem.

really?Wasn't the rumor that he was with John Belushi doing speed balls together when John died? I thought everyone knew he was high through the 70s

In high school we had a beloved English teacher who committed suicide. About 10 of us went to see Dead Poets Society in the theater as kind of an homage for an inspirational teacher.

So this is a little weird

Mrs doubt fire

Braveheart

Bah

wut

 

[grateful zed]

rip :(

 

[Abraham]

He has a lot of really good movies. Not mentioned here yet : the birdcage and insomnia. Add in the night at the museum movies, dead poets, will hunting, jumanji, and mrs doivtfure and he had quite a diverse catalogue.

Jumanji is an all time action/adventure family movie. Really underrated flick.

Mrs doubt fireBraveheart

Bah

wut

My bad. No idea what happend there

 

[zamboni]

Was pretty widely known about his drug issues, but obviously there were some bigger issues lying underneath.

Very sad regardless.

 

[CurlyNight]

This is like a MJ moment. We knew MJ was going to self destruct and not live a long life. Didn't see it coming with RW.

 

[Lutherman2112]

His character in One Hour Photo kinda freaked me out.

yeah im lying. I was born in 77

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

so did he go like the dude from INXS? or was this just a hanging?

 

[shadyridr]

Nobody mentioned Jack. First date movie, my wife and I ever saw. :(

 

[CurlyNight]

His character in One Hour Photo kinda freaked me out.

It was supposed to. He did his job there.

 

[Ketamine Dreams]

Bummer. RIP.

 

[sports_fan]

sounds like suicide by asphyxiation :(

So how is it like an MJ moment...?

 

[Greggity]

Never thought he was funny. Actually I thought he was pretty dumb. Sorry to hear he passed tho...

Birdcage is one of my favorites...more of Hank Azaria...but Williams "f the shrimp" gets me going every time.
