reb, we're confused already.

"Mrs. Doubtfire"

Recently it was said a sequel to Mrs.Doubtfire was in the works- didn't mention if Robin Williams would have been in it but, why else do another? Where could the story line have gone??? And why wait so long? it's a moot point now.

Most people cannot imagine the agony that drives another to 'fall' out a high rise window, or stroll in front of a train. Psychiatrists will say It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. BUT, for many people it is not temporary, it hounds them all the days of their lives. The pain is so acute, they forget they have survivors that will suffer forever after.

I believe they said he had two or three sons. RIP Mork.

One of my favorites would be the boring choice, Good Will Hunting. I really liked his small performance in The Butler too. And One Hour Photo I liked too.

Good Morning Vietnam & Dead Poets Society

What a horrible loss. Rest in peace.

Just saw a trailer for "The Second Best Marigold Hotel,"( rottentomatoes.com) to open Spring 2015. Even if it is only half as good as the original, I will be happy.

Oh, I really liked the original. Good movie, nice scenery, great acting.

That, I am sure will confuse the kids on here....

I was trying to add a little humor to such a tragic subject. I'm sure the kids on here are not gullible. :/

I don't think it is his BEST movie but I keep thinking about the movie "what dreams may come" perhaps because it dealt with suicide. He always seemed to me to be a funny but sad man. He did well in both dramatic serious roles and on the lighter comedy side. I am sad for him that he felt he had no way out but this. and sad for those who loved him. the world is a smaller place without his being in it.

One of my favorites I consider a bit of an acquired taste - Popeye.

I hope nobody considers this disrespectful; my mind keeps going back to this video. Ironic, isn't it?

(Yes, that is Robin Williams. The "other guy" is Bill Irwin, who also played a role in Popeye.)

I liken depression to a bear, that constantly stalks you. You know that the rest of your life is still there, and that some of it is wonderful, but when the bear pounces on you, all you seem to feel are its teeth and claws. You can even convince yourself that those you love would be better off without you . . . .

RIP, Robin.

Bunnylady that really hit the spot.

Not respectful at all I'm sure he would have been pleased. I love that song and to have Robin in there just made it so much better. I will be playing that a lot.


Richard Pryor just crossed my mind, another comedian. He could be insanely funny and off color and raunchy. I remember he once did a straight piece where, I felt, he was allowing you inside. It was sad and so very moving.
