This hit me hard... RIP Robin.

Nooooooooooooo

No one could make me laugh and cry in the same movie like this man. You could just see it in his eyes the passion for every role he took on, even in some of the movies not as highly regarded.

Exactly

RIP :(

A part of my childhood died today...

I've seen that before. ROFL It's actually genius because if you stop and forget that it's a comedy it's actually pretty creepy. If a father did that nowadays he would serve time.

I guess he had sucked all the marrow out of life.

RIP, Robin.

R.I.P

innovator and talent

I guess it is expected for stand up comedians to commit suicide. R.I.P.

Suicide? I guess fame & fortune really can't bring happiness.

I remember the first time I saw this stand up special. I was like 13 and was under the impression Robin Williams was some kid movie actor. I had never laughed like that before in my life. Holy shit.


Sad day.

RIP to a funny, funny man.

Whoever said "Money can't buy you happiness" was right. Life is about so much more then that. Treasure it, you never know when it might end.

Depression and mental health are unexplainable. You look at a guy like him, and barring anything we don't know about at this point, it would seem that he's accomplished all he needed to accomplish. His life could just be going out and having fun and doing whatever he wanted to do. It's hard to imagine that as a bad life. But I guess it's not about that.

Silly statement. Fame and fortune CAN bring happiness, but they do not guarantee it.

He was better in drama than comedies. He was amazing in Good Will Hunting.

The mind is a delicate thing.

Dead Poets Society is one of those movies I never turn off when it comes on. One of the most inspirational movies of all time for me. RIP.

Hook was one of my favorite movies growing up. I absolutely loved him in that movie. Gonna be hard to watch it again. I also really loved Jack. That movie made me laugh and cry no matter how many times I watched it. Sad, sad day. Prayeds to his family. RIP.

I really liked that one too.:thumb:

Classic...

Another one I love. :thumb:

This... And Good Will Hunting too... The man is just awesome...

Patch Adams rips me up to this day.

I never really liked his style. His comedy to me just never really made me laugh. As a person yeah, he was great. Oh well !

From what I've heard, the suicide rate among the wealthy isn't any lower than the rest of society.

He was here at Hazelden the last week of June.

It is a treatment facility. Decided he needed a checkup.

July 11: Robin Williams maintains his sobriety with ongoing 12-step treatment in Minnesota
Article by: Associated Press Updated: August 11, 2014 - 7:20 PM

LOS ANGELES — Robin Williams is reconnecting with the 12-step program during a brief stay at a Minnesota facility.

A spokeswoman for the 62-year-old actor-comedian says Williams planned the visit as a respite to recharge after more than 18 straight months of work.

Publicist Mara Buxbaum said Williams is "taking the opportunity to fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment, of which he remains extremely proud."

Williams has been open about the challenges of maintaining sobriety. He sought treatment in 2006 when he relapsed and returned to drinking after 20 years.

Williams stars in the CBS series "The Crazy Ones" and the film "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn," which was released in May. He has several other projects in the works, including another installment of "Night at the Museum."

What a dumbass ! I have to jack of swine and HE kills himself !

I am one of the small number of people who like Bicentennial Man. R.I.P. Robin

FYP

Pretty bad way to go. RIP

Sad news. Legendary talent when you look at his body of work and range of characters.

****ing depression claims another...

RIP RW.

Always tried to catch him when he appeared on one of the late night talk shows. His off the cuff humor was so unreal. I couldn't ever imagine how his brain could come up with the stuff he said and did. Unreal on the spot comedy

Why is this one hitting me so hard? Celebs I like die all the time, sadly, but at least initially, this one is hitting me almost as hard as when DT died.
I think it's because of the feeling of permanence Williams had in my life. As a kid, there were only two shows; Dukes of Hazzard, which was about a car, and Mork and Mindy, which was about Robin Williams FAR more than it was about an alien and his girlfriend. I, nearly literally, came into consciousness as a human laughing at Mork. I wore those silly suspenders every time my mom would allow. I dreamt of sitting on a goalpost.
Williams then went on to be in a bunch of really great movies. he was always right around the corner with something. He did some crap work, and some brilliant work. Dead Poets, Doubtfire, Garp, and Vietnam, and my favorite, Good Will Hunting. Toys, which was odd. Hook, which I haven't seen. Aladdin, which has special meaning to my wife and I. He was just always there. Always just stamped into the fabric of the world I live in. I'll never forget my dad making me watch his bit about golf and listening to my dad laugh like crazy through the whole thing.
It's always a trite thing to say about celebrity deaths, but feels so true... I felt like I knew him.
Of course I didnt. Maybe no one did.

I'm just very sad.

Loved that guy. His imbalance and craziness brought out his genius.

RIP.

I totally agree, this hit me pretty hard. He seemed like a good soul.

That said - Go watch Hook when you're over it. Seriously. Who hasn't seen Hook?

Proof, RW and Marshall Mathers.

So sad. A man of amazing talent that could have been channeled to so much good. RIP. I wish you had known what good you offered.

He lived a good life, to an old age! Prayers to the survivors!

Depression is a heavy, heavy thing. Sometimes death is A LOT easier than living. Sometimes, not committing suicide is an accomplishment.

**** depression.

Unfortunately, it seems to work that way with a lot of comedians. Some of the funniest people ever were/are deeply troubled.

You nailed it... I'm still so very bummed...

This sucks more than many celebrity deaths.

Not because Robin Williams was so talented but because a person who delivered so much laughter was ended by so much sadness.

I used to be one of those people who said things like "just call someone" or that suicide is a coward's exit. Last fall, one of my good friends, one of the most faithful, caring, selfless, giving, compassionate and charitable people I've ever known became so saddened and convinced that his family and world would be better without him that he shot himself.

I just couldn't fathom that this person did that. Not him. For all of the money in the world I'd never have guessed his name if given 1000 chances. He did therapy, medication, and all of the things he was supposed to do, except conquer depression.

That disease is #2 to cancer on my "screw you" disease list.

Someone in his family sent me a link that they said very much explained his struggle in a way that they hoped helped people understand what it was like for my friend.

I haven't been this sad since Carlin.

Hmmm. The cure for depression is cash. Who knew?

Shozbot

I'm really upset about this.

Like, I'm uncomfortable about how upset this makes me :(

This

Toys. I had completely forgotten about that one. It was certainly different but, I always enjoyed it.

You are correct, he was a part of so much that we have all watched and to a large extent loved. I've never been bothered by a celebrity death before. And while im not exactly shook up over this one, I'm far from being at peace with it.

And, dude - go see Hook.

If you're hurting, go get diagnosed. If you're using and it's affecting your life negatively or you're thinking about going out again, go get treatment. We need you in recovery. We don't know how many people like Williams are going to die today. We just know that he's a headline tonight.

Thanks for sticking it out as long as you could, Robin. We'll miss you.

Selfish

Awakenings too

Ugh....hate this news.

We lose at least one great comic to suicide or ODs every year. Our jobs are to communicate, but we seem to not know how to ask for help.

As has already been discussed here the mental diseases are scary dangerous. I have an ex-girlfriend who has been diagnosed with bipolar disease. She thought she suffered from depression. Turns out that was just an on again off again symptom. And there were many times she talked about suicide, usually when she was very drunk from trying to self medicate her depressed state. She got hooked on meth for a while, abandoned her apartment to go live in some house where people where keeping her supplied with it. I and her mother finally managed to break through to her and slowly got her to the point where she got out of there and eventually diagnosed. She seems to be doing better now with some meds to help balance her out but, you just never know when something could happen that sends her on another downward spiral. You can just never let your gaurd down these mental diseases. Something that affects the way you think is not something with which you can ever let your gaurd down.

I'm sorry for your friend and your loss. It's not fair but suicide affects the survivors more than the victims.

What horrible news to wake up to? RIP Robin. You were by far my favorite comedian.

Yes

Does anyone see the irony in this thread vs the Junior Seau thread? Seau was bashed hard on this site from those calling him weak and a coward for his suicide. Yet we can take that same situation for someone in a different light and look to cherish that person and display empathy?

Depression is real and it's really hard to deal with. If anyone gets so bad that ending their life is thought, they have my greatest sympathy. I for one am very happy I am mentally stable. I'd take a physical disability any day over a mental illness. I have no idea how I would deal with thoughts I couldn't control.

But either way, depression is real and so is suicide. All the money in the world cannot change your brain makeup.

Everything you said.

I think it would be different now. We know a helluva lot more about concussions and how it effects you. People get depressed and they don't understand why.

Shooting yourself in the chest tales a lot more courage than the head.

He died two years ago. That not an eternity. And that thread on Seau was sickening to read. So many dumb, ignorant people who I am glad aren't showing up here but also kind of ironic that Williams is being remembered and Seau was being hated for the same thing.

Gotta be honest, anger is gonna control for me for a while in this instance too.

To this day I can't laugh at a Richard Jeni routine, even though they are genius, because he decided to take it all away.

Right about now, even the idea of David Cross as Mrs. Featherbottom brings bile to my gut. How ****ed up is that level of a theft of joy from the world?

Seau was a division rival.

Nice attempt at trolling but everyone knows you're smarter than that.

If I had to guess I would say there was probably a rivalry aspect to that situation on this board. And I am not saying it is right. But Robin Williams didn't play for a "rival".

If you can't separate football and life, that embarrassing. But I'd expect that from some on this board so you're right.

Sports passions have always been a tad dehumanizing. Do you think the world at large, to the extent they are aware and care, separate Belcher and the Chiefs as an organization?

didn't whoopi goldberg give him herpes or something :shrug:

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/...ldberg-010.jpg

Maybe you're thinking of the time she gave Ted Danson blackface.

http://img2-3.timeinc.net/ew/i/2011/...ldberg_610.jpg

We had fans of our own calling Belcher a coward as well but that has more reasoning seeing what he did to others. We aren't talking about some flying off the handle act of rage. You can't compare that one in here. No doubt Seau and Williams had a long bout with this, that both were unable to manage.

In honor of Robin Williams, I'm going to let my arm hair grow wild and unkempt.

(Pause.)

Okay, that's done.

Like I said, I wasn't calling it right. In autumn to the rivalry aspect I might add that because he was a rival there was no real personal attachment to Junior. Outside of people who just didn't care for anything he ever did, which is going to be a very small group, Williams made a connection with most every one.

Again, not necessarily right butcertainly very human, a personal connection is going to make a difference.

That dude did have some bushy arms. I assume you, like me... do not have that issue.
