RIP Thread

I never knew people liked Robin Williams so much. I think I've only seen two or three movies he was in. Last night I browsed my library and only Aladdin came up. I can't name a single film he's done since the 90s off the top of my head.

In a way you're lucky as you have so much to see.

I think I'm probably the only person who didn't really like Robin Williams. There was always something about him I found annoying and uncomfortable.

That being said, I still felt like I got punched in the stomach when I heard about it.

Dude..... even gorillas are having a hard time with Williams' passing.........

These Photos Of Koko The Gorilla Mourning The Loss Of Robin Williams Are Incredibly Moving

In 2001, Robin Williams met Koko, the gorilla who communicates in sign language, at The Gorilla Foundation in Woodside, California. The two immediately became friends. On Monday, Koko was with Patterson when news of Williams’ death broke and phone calls started to come in.

After the first call, Koko came to Dr. Patterson with an inquiring look on her face. Dr. Patterson explained that ‘we have lost a dear friend, Robin Williams.' Koko was quiet and looked very thoughtful. After overhearing an emotional conversation between Patterson and a colleague who had worked with Williams on his PSA for the foundation, Koko signed the words for 'woman' and 'crying.' Koko became very somber, with her head bowed and her lip quivering.

Dr. Patterson also shared her memories of the actor’s visit. “Robin made Koko smile — something she hadn’t done for over 6 months, ever since her childhood gorilla companion, Michael, passed away.”

I'm mixed on him overall. Loved his TV back in the day, plus some stand up. Then the stand up stopped being funny, and he became annoying but it took a while. Then Doubtfire came along and i got back in. Then things i didnt care about.

I take a pretty hard stance on self-destructive behaviors, but I think he had tried rehab a few times so I net out that it's just sad in several ways.

God must be itching for entertainment this week. RIP.

I was hoping this would never happen! Lauren Bacall was a true gem.

I rewatched an episode of entourage recently and I realized Lauren Bacall had a cameo.

You just put your lips together and blow!

Who will the third be...

[blackjack68]

ZsaZsa Gabor?

[shafnutz05]

Nah, I'm convinced Zsa Zsa will live to be 115

Don't know if this qualifies for #3 but Ed Nelson died. He was a star on the old soap opera "Peyton Place".

Lauren Bacall has died....

Sigh. Sad news, indeed. What a helluva career--70 years of terrific work. She didn't suffer fools, either, from what I could tell in interviews.

She was only 19 when this film was made. Her first with Bogart.
