RIP Robin Williams

I can't remember the last time I felt so sad and shocked about the death of a famous person. Robin Williams was one of my favorite actors. I loved and I've seen just about all of his movies and his comedy specials. His interview in Inside the Actors Studio was just surreal. Today is truly the day that laughter died.

I just saw that. WTF, I was hoping it was another prank.

Heartbreaking. This man has brought much laughter and joy into my life throughout the years, and it is truly saddening to know we'll never be able to see that smile once again. The world is truly a less funny place with his passing. RIP

In a world of false celebrity and pathetic idolisation it's become hard for me to get worked up about the tragedy of someone else's life. But in this case I am truly bummed. Robin Williams was brilliant. There are few artists who have been able to affect so many with so much talent for so long. You could count on one or two hands the people who fit into his company when you think about it. Robin Williams mattered.

That he lost a battle against an unknowable force like depression is inconceivable to most of us. Mental disorders are our country's most ignored and possibly most dangerous threat. I wish we did more to combat it both clinically and socially. People lose loved ones every day to this same disease....maybe this can be another, hopefully bigger, stepping stone to really trying to solve this terrible f*cking blight.

Well said . RIP Robin .

He wasn't just a brilliant comedian, he was also (in the right role) a fine actor. From one of my favorite movies:

And, sad though it may be, and while he may have lost his personal battle with his inner demons, I have a feeling Mr. Williams would want the rest of us to continue finding the laughter ...

He was truly one of a kind.

as most of you have also learned from VH1's pop up videos ...

robin was the neighbor of bobby and just ventured over during shooting and just started acting funny.

his suicide reminds me that life isnt about how much money you have or how famous you are .... its about staying true to family, your individual principles and embracing the YOLO mentality.

rip good man.

edit - what i just dont get is that he seemed to be a person who embraced life. embraced the small quirkyness of it all .. like the beauty of that plastic bag just floating in the wind behind a strip mall in american beauty .. the little overlooked things were the beautiful things ... pay attention to your loved ones, take a walk, people watch ... smile at a little baby .. smile at an 80 year old couple holding hands ...didnt get wrapped up in the rat race or material things .... he seemed to get life, it seemed to embrace it, embrace others ... i just dont get it from him.
