RIP Robin Williams

[Joe Republic]

Gonna have to watch Toys again tonight.

OMG Jumanji!!!  Ugh, gotta add that to the list too.

I can't say I'm a huge fan (I don't dislike him, I just haven't seen him on film), but I am in shock none the less. The guy was a legend.

I really can't even imagine what type of films you watch if you've managed to go your entire life so far without watching any of his.

"I'm sorry to report that comedian Robin Williams has committed suicide, an event of great import and grief to his family. But his sacrifice has been a great boon to the the news cycle and the electoral machinery — thank God that we have a tragedy involving a wealthy white man to drag us away from the depressing news about brown people."

...

"Boy, I hate to say it, but it sure was nice of Robin Williams to create such a spectacular distraction."


I don't like some people.

Wow this is...this is very spot on.

Ugh, no it's not, and I wish you wouldn't just agree with an opinion no matter how horrible it is, just because it's somewhat well written (at least in terms of its bluntness or wit).

People are allowed to be shocked and saddened by the death of a wildly popular celebrity, and want to talk about little else over the water cooler.  That doesn't mean they can't also be outraged at whatever latest horribleness just occurred in this sh**tty world we live in.

Apologies for my harshness, R2D2.

But forget some random blogger; if you want to see pure insensitivity, without any kind of legitimate point behind it, please welcome the King of Real-Life Trolls, Mr. Rush Limbaugh:

Mrs. Doubtfire house

Not to be an ass, but I'm sure the owner of that house is probably pretty annoyed.

[Joe Republic]

Well fair enough.  I would assume there must be another point of entry.

Just spent the day watching Mrs. Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society, and Toys.  Might see if there's time for Hook and Aladdin tonight as well.  And that's not even the half of my rush list!
