What I've seen of "The Crazy Ones" was great.

And that one episode of "Wilfred" he appeared in my husband and I were surprised and glad for it.

Hoping the best for his family and friends, it's certainly a world wide heartbreak and loss.

I recall seeing Hook on VHS with my twin.
FernGully with my twin and during school growing up.
Seeing Aladdin in theaters with family.
Flubber with my mom and twin.
Mrs. Doubtfire countess times.
Others on DVD over time.


Loved Jack, a great story.
[He takes out all the red gummy bears and gave them to his teacher.]
[I cannot eat red food dye, give red gummies or candies to my husband usually set aside in snack baggies we both think of this film.]

Dead Poets Society was a required at home suggested viewing for my High School Creative Writing class.

Robots, that was actually a movie date with my husband, we weren't married yet.

His stand up work, saw DVDs with my husband while we were dating, then later in life.


Happy Feet with my little sisters.
Just sad.

Its so sad, I loved watching him and listening to him my whole life. He was an amazing actor and very funny, I will miss him a lot.
 
I couldn't believe this when I saw it this morning. So very sad.
 
I was shocked when I saw my Facebook news feed suddenly flooded with this news :sadpony:

So far it sounds like a suicide -___-
If that's the case, all I can really say is some of the most awesome happy-going people can be fighting dark internal battles

The world has lost a truly awesome person who has inspired happiness in lots of people.
 
This has me extremely depressed. I was introduced to Robin Williams as a little girl, and it feels like I've lost someone I've known my entire life. I loved him in every film I saw him in over the years. Mrs Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society, Bicentennial Man and Patch Adams were all very influential for me at different times in my life, and yet there are still some of his films that I haven't seen, like What Dreams May Come and The Birdcage. And there are still another four movies starring him to be released in the not too distant future... But it won't be the same anymore, knowing he's gone. He was an incredible and inspirational person, kind and caring, selfless and unassuming, able to laugh through even the darkest and most painful times, and incite laughter and happiness in others even as he himself was falling apart inside. But as someone who has also battled with depression as he did, I know it is an evil thing, a demon that's callous, indiscriminate and mercilessly relentless, and even the strongest can only endure for so long.
 
I was most unhappy at Robin's passing, but not surprised. Quite often the people who work hardest to makes others smile is the person who carries the most hidden sorrow. I always saw him as a tormented man who kept everyone around him laughing, so they wouldn't suspect how badly he hurt.

I hope he found somewhere happy.
 
RIP Robin Williams, you were an amazing comedian.
 
It is very odd to me the amount of anger that is rising up in people over Robin's death. On another board where I mod, we're actually having to temp ban two members over their hateful opinions. Rather than see him as a man with an illness who took a sorrowfully desperate route out, all they can focus on is that he had lots of money, so that should have made him happy somehow. I'm seeing it elsewhere also, on many types of media.

It's unfortunate that in this day and age that depression is not seen as a serious, debilitating illness, but rather that someone is merely sad. If sorrow was the only symptom of depression, it would be a blessing. It is a crippling thing, a malicious beast that drains its sufferer of joy, even in the happiest occasion. Why people cannot understand that depression is not a 'bad day' but rather a daunting disorder that cannot be overcome by a handful of pills and good intentions is beyond me.

Sorry. Venting. :sadpony:
 
So very sad. He was a wonderful comedian , he touched so many in so many ways. I loved Mork and Mindy especially, what a wonderful fun show that was.

Over here we have an excellent resource called "Beyond Blue" for anyone who is struggling with depression or anxiety or just needs to reach out. Suicide is certainly a global issue and hopefully from this darkness, it helps though who are suffering to reach out for help.

Sadly, it appears now that it was not just a bad depression day for Robin. According to recent news, he had been diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. I guess this on top of the depression was too much.
