Oscar winner and comedian Robin Williams died this morning at 63. While his publicist wouldn’t confirm that it was a suicide, they did issue this statement. “Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”

I just watched The Final Cut on Saturday as it was randomly on cable TV.

He's had a lot of dealings with addiction, but it wasn't so long ago that he was doing the public rounds on late night. =\

Sadness is not the way to go.   :'(

If you feel depressed or feel like anything's wrong, even if it's hard, get help or talk to someone about it even if it's a stranger on a help line.  Depression is a real life-altering thing.

This summer sucks.

Knew a woman who did house painting most of her life. Told me a story about how she was painting this big house in San Francisco when Robin Williams walks out into the backyard of the house next door. Apparently, this was his neighbor's house they were painting. She said Robin just hung out in the backyard sharing dirty jokes with them, back and forth, and having a laugh until they were done working.

I ignored this thread a couple of times because for some reason I thought it was a joke thread.

Very odd.


I'm not going to pretend I found Robin Williams amazingly funny. I wasn't a big fan of his standup. But I feel like he's one of those guys who just always has been there my entire life. Like a staple. Robin Williams was always out there doing stuff. He's like one of those guys who I thought would work until the day he died in his 90's or something like a modern day Bob Hope.

RIP.

Then someone linked this Cracked article and it was surprisingly better than I expected*, especially the Chris Farley part which I had never known: http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/robin-williams-why-funny-people-kill-themselves/

*Well, other than the writing style.

The funny thing is I've never seen Dead Poet's society. It seemed like the kind of movie that would irk me so I always kind of avoided it (It's probably great. Sometimes I will irrationally hate a movie I've never seen just because I'm an idiot). I've never seen Aladdin either.


When I think of Robin Williams I think of Good Morning Vietnam, World According to Garp, Good Will Hunting, & The Fisher King.


World according to Garp was one of the first movies we got on VCR so I watched that bitch dozens of times.

Ferngully is weirdly, indefensibly, one of the few things I feel protectively nostalgic about.  Someone remakes that with Jack Black, Drake, and Jim Parsons (replacing Williams, Tone Loc, and Tim Curry as the rapping bat, rapping iguana, and gay smog monster respectively), and I'll be out of control ranting about how this new version betrays the spirit, sincerity, and ambition of the original.

I don't know what stage he was at but it would be good if it wasn't a such a taboo subject that he could incorporate discussion about end-of-life decisions into whatever therapy (I assume) he was in. Bottling it up into a depressive mind is a recipe for disaster.

I watched Hook...well, tried to watch Hook last night. Hadn't seen it since I was a kid and man it hasn't aged well. Especially the cheesy 90s music in the beginning, before the traditional Williams score. Overall it was a lot more cheesy than I remembered, and some uninspired Spielberg direction.

A lot of the enjoyment I did find was due to nostalgia blasts. I don't remember the first time I saw Hook, but I definitely remember watching it many times on Christmas at my grandma's house. And watching the part about using your imagination to taste food really reminded me of the various smells and foods my grandma would make. Biscuits, eggs, grits, and grilled salmon patties in the morning...then for the next few hours the house would be full of the smells of spices as she cooked a HUGE pot of gumbo. And the smells of cookies and cakes throughout the day, but especially at night.
