Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
You know. I think I'll dredge up some old reruns of his. When I first came across Williams, my sides ached so bad from laughing. He was class all the way.

:no:
True. But can't deny the indirect relationship between Williams and his public. :0)
It seems funny to feel genuinely sad about someone's death when you never actually knew them. Nevertheless, im sad
Robin Williams, I think, was a big part of my childhood with all the movies I saw.

I don't feel sad about his death.
It just makes me think about how wonderful his work was.
Tis commemoration rather than mourning.
Note: In that social test thingie, I scored low on "tenderness".

I am so sad! He was one of my favorite actors and my all-time favorite comedian. He's been making me laugh since the first time I saw him on Happy Days, on his first time playing Mork and in the series it started (Mork and Mindy):sad4::sad4:

Im kinda depressed. I just realised that most of my favorite actors and actresses that I grew up with are largely deceased now. :sad4:

You're such a man of contradictions. How revolting!
Yeah, I like your sentiment. I am sad, but I do think it's best to celebrate his life rather than mourn so much. If we can make something sad into something happy, I think we should.
One does what calls to one.
Totally crushed hearing the news today. When I was a kid and my parents divorced, his movies that were popular during that time were very therapeutic for a then 8 year old boy trying to deal with everything. It was always one of those "safe places" whenever one was put on for me, where you'd just forget about everything and laugh. Big part of my childhood is gone, perhaps unnecessarily.

Can't brain. Has dumb.
Patch Adams had a big influence on me when I saw it for the first time. It remains one of my favourite films. It's sad to know there won't be any more films with him. RIP

I generally don't get upset by celebrity deaths, but I really loved his movies. Patch Adams, Jumanji, Good Will Hunting...so many more. I loved him in Awakenings.
When we first came to Canada, we didn't have a TV, but as a kid my sister and I would go to the Zellers electronics section and watch Jumanji over and over again and we loved him.
Even now I love watching Hook!
He brought so much joy to the world.

That's too bad. Saw him do stand-up live once, he was so funny and it felt like he made up the entire set right there. A lot of talent.
Makes his performance in What Dreams May Come kind of ironic now though.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I'm so sad. He was the impersonation of life

Things like this truly show the mindset of the world. With all of the terrible things happening in the world, this (possibly the least terrible in the scheme of things) the one thing the world pays attention to.
Over a thousand dead palestinians? Nothing.
Displaced iraqi's hunted and oppressed? Nope. Nothing.
Robin Williams' death? Now people take notice.
I think we live in a society of mean spirited, salacious, idol worshipping hypocrites. The pressure that people exert continually drives talented folk to their early graves. Why do people bother crying over the deaths of people like Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, Robin Williams and so many others when it was society's prying interest in their personal lives that compounded their existing problems? Shouldn't they be happy that they finally reached the final conclusion that they steered them towards?

Quick question. Robin Williams' job is to act like someone else. How do you know that he was like you? How do you know what he was really like at all?
I think this means people love not the man but the characters the man portrayed.
And most, if not all, of the characters he played were contrived by someone else.

A thousand Palestinians and Iraqis are just numbers to me. I saw Robin Williams, and he made me smile. He became a part of my life in a small way, and I'm sad to see him go. Glad you're taking it so well, though.
