Sucks

Sucks is all that I can think about too. I hated his stand up comedy (didn't find his humor funny), but his movies are soul-touching.

I think i'll have to watch a few in remembrance. RIP.

A sad day. I spent many hours watching his movies, stand-up, etc. laughing so hard I cried..... he was a true comic genius, must have been a tortured soul, also. May he rest in peace.

Sad about this too, he was one of my favs...

He was a genius, loved his stand ups.

The world seems a little darker without him.
RIP and thanks for making me feel good countless times.

I can't believe Mork is gone...

Other than Good Morning Vietnam, I never thought that much of his acting. He was a gifted stand up Comic up there with the best. It is so sad.

Maybe a better time now for him, R.I.P.

Very sad. He will be missed.
RIP.

You have to wonder why with his fame etc that he would suffer such hard depression ?? Just goes to show how serious the problem can be.

He always seemed to be a bit manic/depressive, or Bi-polar in today's terms, much like Jonathon Winters. My favorite performance was in Good Will Hunting, when he calmly removed his glasses, and then grabbed Matt Damon by the throat. RIP, Robin.

Him and Jonathan Winters were very good friends together.

RIP Robin Williams.
It certainly is sad to hear about this.

Unfortunately, as we all know, lifes demons do overwhelm a lot of people which ultimately extinguishes any choices that life has to offer.

I didn't mind some of his movies, but a lot of them sucked. I feel more sympathy for his wife and kids than I do for him, I hope this doesn't mess them up too much. Cheers, Terry.

I liked him in Insomnia and One Hour Photo was interesting.

ponti33602 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 12, 2014, 04:08:40 AM »

For those not thinking he was good in movies, re-watch "Awakenings" and or "Good Will Hunting". Really show his broad talent.

hondalav · « **Reply #18 on:** August 12, 2014, 04:32:13 AM »

I enjoyed his stand ups, the one about golfing and understanding Scottish (Doric) is brilliant.
Some of his movies didn't turn my crank, like Dead Poets Society, but he was a good actor in his own right. R.I.P

I loved the birdcage

tool14 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 12, 2014, 07:42:51 AM »

sad day great comic and actor.

Duke McDukiedook · « **Reply #21 on:** August 12, 2014, 11:07:49 AM »

If you want to see two films that Williams was stellar in watch The Fisher King and Death To Smootchie.

I like a Gershwin tune how about you?

fendersrule · « **Reply #22 on:** August 12, 2014, 02:27:41 PM »

I don't know how anyone wouldn't like "The World According to Garp"

martin99 · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2014, 03:04:41 PM »

There was a re-run of Night at the Museum over here on Sunday, and I commented to my son how I couldn't stand the bloke. And now this, and somehow I feel bad for what I said $:-\$

I have to echo Terry's sentiments though, IMO suicide is a selfish act, not sure what would drive someone to do that without thought for those left behind to pick up the pieces (and I'm in mental health!).

Sad news nevertheless.

what about "What Dreams May Come" that movie put me in a strangely awesomely depressive mood for a short period after watching it.
