Love Good Will Hunting, one of my favorite performances of his.

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

IGN killed him
Yikes... The summary: Some guy predicted in that thread last Friday that RW would die soon.
RW did play video games such as Call of Duty, so there is a slim chance that he saw the thread on that gaming-oriented message board and that that could have pushed him over the edge ...

I have seen most of the well-known movies he's in before, so last night I decided to try one I hadn't seen.  Has anyone else seen One Hour Photo?  That was just a bizarre film and I'm not even sure what to think about it.

Yes, that and "The Final Cut" (sci-fi, good, not great movie) and two of his lesser known movies that I like.

But "One Hour Photo" really shows his range.  He was able to tap into darkness very subtly.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Sad news indeed.  So many good memories are tied to this man. :-(

My family actually watched Jumanji together two days ago.  It was my kids' first exposure to Robin Williams as an actor (they've seen Aladdin), and it hit the sweet spot of making them laugh, holding them fascinated, and also scaring the crap out of them a couple of times.

Mrs Doubtfire was a childhood favorite for me, both because it is hilarious and because it helped me express emotion about my own parents' divorce.  Similarly, as a teenager Dead Poet's Society inspired me in a very deep way to make the most of life despite struggling with anxiety and depression, and to find beauty in simple things.

Rest in peace.

Even at 63 there was no man or woman on this earth that could keep up with him in a one-on-one conversation.

I will cherish the life he gave us all and remember the great legacy he leaves behind.

Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Rest In Peace.

To me, if not for my generation, you feel like the other Uncle in Sam's family. An Uncle of America's. If Sam was the A-J-squared away uncle who always went to church and disciplined his kids way too much without ever taking the time to understand them you were the Uncle who knew more about life. You hooked up with women, read sh*t, had wonderful stories about how anything was possible in life and were always supportive and interested in your nieces and nephews. I'm surprised to find that I'm so sad to you're gone but I hope you're happy now.




Indeed.
