Robin Williams Respect Thread

Wow I can't believe he's gone. This REALLY sucks. Like alot of people I grew up with him doing characters like the Genie from Aladdin and Pan. Feel free to post your thoughts and fondest memories of one of Hollywood's most beloved and talented actors.

Jumanji and Hook were the two movies I watched the most as a kid. :'(

Imma watch Death to Smoochy tonight after work.

Good Morning Vietnam is a master class in comedy from the man.

Some of my favorites growing up (in no particular order)

• Jumanji
• Hook
• Patch Adams
• What Dreams May Come
• Good Will Hunting
• Dead Poets Society
• Good Morning, Vietnam
• Ferngully
• Aladdin (Not the third one)
• Mrs. Doubtfire
• Toys
• Jack
• Bicentennial Man

I just finished watching Aladdin for the first time in years. It was one of my two favorite Disney movies when I was a kid.

I plan on watching Mrs. Doubtfire tomorrow.

Rest In Peace

This belongs in the off topic thread.

I was legitimately shocked to hear that he died. This sad, gonna need to go watch Hook in his honor.

@ostyo: I dont know how to move it over there. Would you mind helping?

IIRC if you hover your first post and hit "full edit" you can change it, but I could be wrong so don't hold me to that lol

Just out of respect.

I feel like this topic is worthy of gen discussion

@god_spawn: I wasn't a big fan of Dead Poets Society, but I think I have to re-watch the entire movie for that ending scene.

I moved it.

@god_spawn: Thanks

And so we begin anew respecting one of the best comedica and voice actor ever givem tp us on this earth.

Aladdin was the first movie I'd ever seen. Robin Williams was a hero to me during a much happier time on my life. It's just so hard to believe that he's gone now and not only that...he killed himself......

It's just so messed ip

Would have been an awesome joker in the new batman. Robin Williams paid Christopher Reeves medical bills after he was paralyzed, they were classmates at Julliard together.

Yea Hook and Mrs. Doubtfire I watched when I was younger about fifty times. He was excellent in Awakenings.

Well, it's morning where I am and just woke up so

@comicace3:

BANG-A-RANG!!!!!

The man was a genius.

Still shocked.

@erik: I'm on my phone, could you post this video for me?K

oko the Gorilla with Robin Williams: http://youtu.be/GorgFtCqPEs

RIP.

Is it weird I hope it turns out it was Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation?

You're free Genie.

Seriously though it's not the death that honestly shocks me, it's how. You look at him, his films, his interviews, and you think; this is a happy man, but obviously that wasn't the case. It really shows how little people can really know of these celebrities and icons. Sure, I don't hold the delusion of thinking I know an actor or actress based off their films or interviews but it just so...weird. You think "Robin Williams" the last thing you'd think is suicide.

Regardless, he has left behind an amazing ensemble of some of the most heartfelt and funniest films to date, may he rest in peace.

The look in his eyes though.. ;_;

I grew up on Mork & Mindy reruns and enjoyed some of his weirder roles like in Death to Smoochy and One Hour Photo. Still I've never been much of a Robin Williams fan.

I still can't believe he died. He was so unique, there will never be anyone like him ever again. I don't remember where I heard the story of when he came to Christopher Reeve when he was in the hospital after the horse accident. But, Reeve was doing really bad and was thinking of suicide and in came Robin in character cheering him up. He was a good dude.

Could have made a great Joker!! I had the genuis to pull it off!

Loved him and all his movies, I'm have to rewatch those.

@warlordeternal:

Put him in battle forums.

Many of those were some of my favourites too. Can't believe he's really gone, why must the good die young? Especially someone as kind and good natured as Robin Williams. RIP Mr Williams, you'll definitely be missed.

Thats really cool.

Jumanji

My first exposure to Williams. It's still hilarious.

I was just watching Dead Poets Society on Sunday. Yes, rest in peace. I loved all of his films.

Repose en paix

Goodbye Robin! You will be missed friend!

Beata

BANGARANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My main disney dream was there to be another aladdin....

Thanks for some the films I grew up with like Hook, Aladdin, Jumanji, and Mrs. Doubtfire.

Rest in peace Robin Williams.

It really is a sad end to a historic entertainer....I can't think of anyone who could crack me up like he can. Rest in peace and thanks for all the laughs especially during my childhood

The best way to put it. I felt as if a family member of ours has died, and Robin was that family member. Robin Williams reminded of Uncle that's fun, hilarious, and full of life.

So RIP. Nanoo, Nanoo.
