I just saw that on Yahoo.com - I was coming here to post and saw you beat me to it... I agree, he was a brilliant man... Linders and I loved his stand-up comedy, "Robin Williams: Live on Broadway" and "Robin Williams: Weapons of Self-Destruction" are two of the funniest DVDs we have. The world already seems a little bit darker without him in it... This just frikkin' sucks. May all the gods bless you, Mr Williams, and may you find in the afterlife the peace you sought in life. You will be missed.

He was 'pretty magical'. I really am very sad to hear this.

Williams was a known alcoholic and suffered from depression most of his life. That stuff is no freaking joke. It'll kill people if untreated.
The Birdcage, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Good Morning Vietnam were some of the best comedy films ever made. I am very sad to hear this.

Williams was a known alcoholic and suffered from depression most of his life. That stuff is no freaking joke. It'll kill people if untreated. It will. I used to work on a suicide hotline, and I've had plenty of experience with depression myself, sad to say. I know a few things about depression. I don't even know about addiction. It's a rough thing. In the middle of it, you can find yourself with no idea what you're doing, where you are. Your mood can be all over the place. You can't ever 'sit down', you're always transitioning and always scared to death of something that never seems to come. In my experience. The one thing you think you have for sure is suicide - the one thing you know you can do to yourself that will last more than a few hours. That's a dumb, dangerous, twisted thing to think, but you keep thinking it, and you get more and more lost. Til you snap out of it enough times that the real world starts to stick. Or somebody forces you to look at it. Wittering now. Memories! Myself and a lot of people I know. Cali I know you've got some business going on. If you ever want to talk about it, etc.

Lauren Bacall. What was it about the older actresses and how classy they were compared to the newer generations. Even Marilyn Monroe had more class than what passes for standard nowadays.

Lauren Bacall was a beautiful, beautiful woman. Beautiful. And classy. Sad that she's gone now too...

Not Hollywood, theatre, comedy, or musically related, but I'd like to take the time to talk about some of the most impressive men and women who died far too soon. January 27, 1967; Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Edward H. White II, and Roger B. Chaffee, are sitting in the Apollo I capsule on Pad 34 at then Cape Kennedy Air Force Station conducting a launch rehearsal when a cabin fire erupts within the capsule, killing all three men on board. Due to the frantic pace of the space program to fulfill President Kennedy's challenge to land a man on the moon and return him safely by the end of the 1960's, several engineering issues cropped up and culminating in the perfect storm that caused the fatal accident. Prior to their deaths, all three men stated that they knew their work was dangerous and didn't want the program to be derailed if the worst happened. March 23, 1961; Soviet Cosmonaut Valentin Bondarenko dies in training due to a pure oxygen fire. Due to Soviet secrecy, the details of the accident were not made public until well after Apollo I and, if the details had been shared, could have prevented the Apollo I fire.April 24, 1967; Soviet Cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov dies when his spacecraft, Soyuz 1, fails to deploy its parachute and crashes into the ground at re-entry velocity. June 30, 1971; The crew of Soyuz 11, Vladislav Volkov, Georgiy Dobrovolsky, and Vikor Patsayev, die in space when a faulty airlock seal causes the cabin of their spacecraft to depressurize and asphyxiate all three men. January 28, 1986; Gregory Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Michael Smith, and Francis Richard "Dick" Scobee perish when Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrates 73 seconds into launch. This particular disaster gets my blood boiling as managerial incompetence directly caused these astronauts' deaths. February 1, 2003; Rick Husband, William McCool, Michael Anderson, David Brown, Kalpana Chawla, Laurel Clark, and Ilan Ramon die when Space Shuttle Columbia burns up on re-entry after completing its mission. As with Challenger, NASA's managerial incompetence directly caused the deaths of seven brilliant human beings. All of these men and women represent the best of humanity: willing to face incredible danger to learn more about the world and everything around us. Christa McAuliffe especially as she was an ordinary school teacher who hoped to inspire new generations of scientists by flying into space and showing what humanity is capable of if we truly apply ourselves and work on building the future. May they all find peace.

I found this Tribute Video for Robin Williams... it's his voice, saying lines from one of his movies, voice-overed to clips from various movies he did... it's beautiful, and I teared up as he started on the last line...

This is sad... Richard Attenborough has passed away. Gorvar, you might find this rather upsetting - this was the man who brought John Hammond to screen in Jurassic Park... And I remembered him immediately as William Cecil from the movie Elizabeth... He was a fantastic actor / director / producer, and will be missed.

I'm sad to hear this, too. Attenborough's character was my favorite in the entire movie.

He was X in "The Great Escape" and I always thought his character got shafted...
