RIP - Robin Williams

[Ron Harrigan]

When you die, all jokes will end.  

You still owe me a thousand dollars for the coaching service that you ordered.

[The True Adonis]

R.I.P. Robin. You will be missed. I can honestly say I really liked that guy and usually dont give a fuck about celebrities. He was different.

Explain.

[Ron Harrigan]

I like the quote by Albert Camus:

"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem: Does the realization of the meaninglessness and absurdity of life necessarily require suicide?"

Evidently he never got laid.

[TheShape.]

Really?

Why is this one extra personal to you?  I have seen others say this about Robin Williams.  While I like his acting, I just never felt that he connected on that kind of level. 

Honestly it's just the fact he committed suicide and how others react if you were to do that type of thing. He was loved by just about everyone, and it's just really sad to me.

Actor Robin Williams has died at 63.
The cause of death is thought to be suicide by asphyxiation.

Here's the release from the Marin County Sheriff's Office:

On August 11, 2014, at approximately 11:55 am, Marin County Communications
received a 9-1-1 telephone call reporting a male adult had been located unconscious
and not breathing inside his residence in unincorporated Tiburon, CA. The Sheriff’s
Office, as well as the Tiburon Fire Department and Southern Marin Fire Protection
District were dispatched to the incident with emergency personnel arriving on scene at
12:00 pm. The male subject, pronounced deceased at 12:02 pm has been identified as
Robin McLaurin Williams, a 63 year old resident of unincorporated Tiburon, CA.

An investigation into the cause, manner, and circumstances of the death is currently
underway by the Investigations and Coroner Divisions of the Sheriff’s Office.
Preliminary information developed during the investigation indicates Mr. Williams was
last seen alive at his residence, where he resides with his wife, at approximately 10:00
pm on August 10, 2014. Mr. Williams was located this morning shortly before the 9-1-1
call was placed to Marin County Communications. At this time, the Sheriff’s Office
Coroner Division suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia, but a
comprehensive investigation must be completed before a final determination is made.
A forensic examination is currently scheduled for August 12, 2014 with subsequent
toxicology testing to be conducted.

Never did like that liberal jackass. I believe this calls for the orange chicken with egg rolls and some pork fried rice.

Agreed.  The man wasn't even funny.  I never understood what people saw in him.

[The True Adonis]

Robin Williams whole hyper-active persona was the only way he knew how to deal with life.  He woke up and realized that he led his life as something people expected, the funnyman and not what he really wanted to be.  He knew he could not get 63 years back, but he also knew he could put a stop to it.  And so he did.

I found this and seems to confirm what I suspected above.

Others often saw his manic need to tell jokes as a classic shield to hide his real feelings.

'He was always in character — you never saw the real Robin,' said Jamie Masada, founder and chief executive of the Laugh Factory to The LA Times.

'I knew him 35 years, and I never knew him.'

If you didn't find him funny you must be one dumb mother fucker. His comedy was fast at times but even half retards could catch much of it. If it's because English isn't your first language then fuck you - learn to talk!

His comedy routine was geared more toward simpletons with his one liners and "funny faces".


I found some of it amusing, but mostly I found him to be annoying.  He was a little lacking on the wit side of comedy.


George Carlin is light years ahead of Williams.

[cephissus]

I thought he was insufferable.

[The True Adonis]

This entire routine is mostly annoying.

Fast Forward to 57 minutes.

Bodybuilding Related-he talks about Human Growth Hormone and how Nick Nolte told him all about it.

[The True Adonis]

At 56 minutes he talks about steroids.  LOL

[The True Adonis]

Man that "comedy" routine sucks bad.  Just awful.

The thing was, he was good in serious acting roles, I thought.  He had a depressive and serious air about him that whenever he tried to perform comedy it just seemed so forced and not genuine.

Exactly.

His "comedy" routines reek of speed and cocaine.  Nothing there is funny at all really.  He does those annoying voices, one liners and looks like he is on the verge of collapsing at any minute.  Its like that with all of his "comedy" routines.

His acting though, was always quite good in his serious roles.  He did carry that that sadness with him and it worked.

[FermiDirac]

To those who say he didn't lift, he DID lift in Will Hunting. 

PIP, one of my all time favourite actors.

[SF1900]

Not a big fan of his comedy but liked a lot of his acting.

PIP RW!
