One of the few comedians that could make me belly laugh out loud,
Rest in peace Robin.  :cry:

So sad. Probably the funniest comedian of the last few decades. Thankful for the body of work he leaves.

RIP

Marty's on-again-off-again affair with Booze and Weasel Dust took its toll, physically and mentally. At least he no longer has to worry about getting hassled by Rodeo Clowns.

I thought he was really good in "Good Will Hunting".

(Not just a comedian,  he was a very good actor.)

My favorite magical movies by Robin Williams are: "The World According to Garp", "Jack", "Awakenings", and "What Dreams May Come".  "Jumangi" gets an honorable mention.  I'm sure there are some I've forgotten to mention, but these come to mind as movies that transport you to a magical place.  A remarkable body of work if he had done nothing else.

Was his television sitcom, "The Crazy Ones", canceled or was it coming back for a second season?

The interwebz says it got canceled, back in early May...

I had the Mork from Ork action figure when I was a kid. 



The last few times I caught him on a late night talk show, I thought he seemed extra crazy, out of control and not quite right. Even for him... Other 'crazy' comics/comedians evolved to some level of maturity and have been able to incorporate their past crazy routines  and character in when they wanted. He seemed to be lost within his in the end.

I had read that the show was canceled after one season on May 10, 2014.

Hi Letitroll98.
I will never in my whole life forgive myself for not mentioning that nice movie:
Good morning planet Vietnam.
For that BIG mistake, I will dip myself in honey
and throw myself in a barrel of red ants.
That will teach me to forget such a nice movie.

Goooooood moooooorning Vietnam,

ahhhhhh the 'smell of napalm in the morning' will never be the same ! …. RIP RW

"24 Hour Photo"

Awesome movie. His best as far as I'm concerned.

Correction...."One Hour Photo" was the name of the movie.

I will put Good Will Hunting as his best for me. 

Doesn't hurt that it is one of my fav movies, but he really knocked it out of the park as a college professor from Southie.

Love the scene in the movie when he is catching up with his old university buddy and they trade "do you know who X" is stories.  The Unabomba (proper Boston accent required)!

Haha, mine is when he tells the story about when he met his wife and missed Carlton Fisk's home run.

When I was young I already thought he was a comedic genius.  The interplay between him and Jonathan Winters are legendary.  So sad that he is gone.

At least we won't have to worry about them coming out with a "Patch Adams 2"!  :?

It's sad to see another celebrity selfishly take his own life.  The impact on the family is devastating and I can't imagine a more selfish act.
