Robin Williams RIP Page 3

Got The Birds on as background on Film4 and Rod Taylor is Robin Williams' double, I thought it was him for a mo. Never noticed that before but it's utterly uncanny the more I look at him.

I was very sorry to hear this news.

Dead Poets Society is the film I'd choose and I loved Mork and Mindy.

Someone drew my attention to this clip from the excellent Big Breakfast:

I'd never even heard of The Fisher King, but I took a quick look at the trailer and it looks decent enough. One to watch over the weekend as my own personal tribute.

The Fisher King is my favourite Robin Williams film, along with The World According To Garp, and he's fantastic in both.

Quote from Ricky Gervais - probably years ago.

Telling people with depression to "just snap out of it" is about as useful as telling people with cancer to "just stop having cancer".

Good Will Hunting is now doubly sad. Elliott Smith and now Robin too.

How do you like those apples :(

Aw. :( Just imagine Minnie Driver telling the spunky joke. That should cheer us up.
