Robin Williams RIP

[Darrell]

I just saw breaking news, evidently he committed suicide. Some comedians such as him (and Jonathan Winters comes to mind) always struck me as tortured souls.

Blatantly stolen

Robin Williams Poets Society

He was a regular on the USO tours to Iraq, and he would sit with the GIs during the show, only leaving to go onstage, then coming back to sit with "the good guys."

May he find the rest he couldn't find here.

Grrrrr.....

Damn depression strikes again.

Well, shit.

I never liked his comedy. I thought it was comparable to a meth or coke fueled incoherent emotional explosion.

I did quite like him in his more serious roles like Good Will Hunting and Dead Poet's Society.

Hopefully, he has found peace.

Much of his life was coke fueled, so your instincts were spot on. Very tragic. Another "funny" person who was privately a tortured soul. It's almost a cliche.

We've had suicide hit our membership in recent years. A young man, seemingly with everything going for him, suddenly gone by his own hand.

It is NEVER the answer. Ask for help. Reach out, even if it feels like the hardest thing you've ever done. People will respond.

Another permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Oh Captain, my captain...

I always figured it was just a matter of time. Very sad. RIP

I read a part of an interview with him once wherein he said that movies where he had a beard were much better than movies where he didn't. Good Will Hunting is the one that comes to mind from that description. Can't remember the others.

I always figured he was bipolar or something, and did his comedic work during his manic phase. His comedy seems very manic, kinda like Jim Carrey.

Moscow on the Hudson is one my favorites.
