Browing IMBD to remember some of my favorites...


It's amazing how the death of someone you've never met can really put a dent on your day. Such an amazing dude

Jim Norton said on his Twitter
"There is no way Robin Williams could have seen himself the way everyone saw him. What terribly sad and frustrating news."

Seriously there needs to be a documentary on celebrities explaining what goes on. Its just so sad seeing an amazing person on the outside be so different on the inside.

I always ask why? Presumably with that much money you could take a step back and fix your problems.

The unnatural death of Philip Seymour Hoffmann wasnt too long ago and now this.

Flubber!

So sad... I've watched his stand up, which was brilliant, and loved so many of the rolls he has played over the years both serious and funny.

The world is a less interesting place with him gone. :'(

Some of my favorite movies of his:

Good Will Hunting
Good Morning Vietnam
The World According to Garp
Dead Poets Society
Moscow On the Hudson

He had an amazing capacity to play serious roles as well, despite his comedic site. I loved him in The Final Cut - such an interesting movie, especially with everyone constantly posting photos on Facebook, GoPros recording all of our activities, etc.

It's humbling. All the latest and greatest medical treatments at someone's disposal, all the fame and wealth, but none of that could save him from taking his own life.

I just saw PSH in a trailer for the new Hunger Games movie in the theater the other day. Pity...one of the few roles I liked him in; I really wanted to see him in the new ones

This is so sad. He suffered from Bipolar Depression for years. They said he hit a hard depression recently and couldn't pull himself out of it. One of my most favorite comedians of all time. He was an incredible human being.

Did you ever seen Bicentennial man? Sort of the same idea...a robot wanting to become human & taking advantage of technology to do so, then becoming human & achieving mortality.

Man, this guy did a lot of great work. Hit me hard

 

[John Connor]

I saw this breaking on the news. I'm shocked for the most part. I thought he had a wonderful outlook at life and never thought he had inner demons. Such a great and talented actor he was. Him and Chris farley and John candy were the best.

RIP man.

You might just end up feeling like the only way to hold onto that money and maintain your livelihood, and even your sense of worth in the eyes of others, is to keep up the persona your public expects. That kind of situation can leave a person feeling trapped, and over time that can lead to some nasty psychological problems.
And getting help is not an easy thing to convince yourself to do, with or without that much money.

As many people say, all that money and fame is part of the problem. Some people say too much leisure, luxury and free time is a big factor as well

What a shame.

It's a darker movie & a little bit niche, but I enjoyed it, partly because Robin Williams was serious in it & partly because it presented some really really interesting concepts to think about. I won't say too much about the plot, but it parallels a lot of things that social media has brought into our lives, especially about having to be accountable in the face of things like the NSA tracking your every move, cameras everywhere, your life under critique by other people due to recorded images online (Facebook etc.), and so on. In a way, I'm sure it parallels William's own life - being under the scrutiny of the public, dealing with a history of drug addiction & depression, etc.

What a tragic loss

He must have been in a very dark place.

He had bipolar depression. That is a very serious mental illness. He was type I. So even if he hadn't of had all that money and fame he was in a high risk category for something like this. On top of all that he was an alcoholic and drug addict for many years. He cleaned himself up however. Bipolar isn't something to take for granted though. Man, I am still just blown away by this. What an incredibly gifted, talented person, who gave so many people so much joy.
