It's a valid, thoughtful question. I, of course, never knew him, and just like every other person who saw him perform, I never saw him in any sincerely private moments. I also hesitate to do any sort of 'armchair diagnosis', but perhaps Williams was someone able to combine a remarkable talent, a gift bestowed by…

I just don't want this to be. Just undo it. Reverse. Get a goddamn time machine. This just can't be. It doesn't feel real.

It amazes me how indelibly the man has imprinted himself on us all. He was truly one of the greats, that much is clear.

I'm totes crying right now. I saw the million bazillion posts on Facebook last night, reposted a couple about the suicide hotline, and I was fine. Sad, bit fine. Until I saw the damn post of the damn lamp from damn Aladdin posted by Disney. Then came the waterworks. I can't stop it.

This was cute, but I think what the cast (or rather, the actor who plays the Genie) of the Aladdin show at Disney's California Adventure was a bit more touching.

you know i have never cried when I heard a celebrity died... but with Robin Williams its feels like a family member passed.. i broke down crying watching this and well everything feels odd, I grew up watching his movies and his stand up, he was my moms absolute favorite actor and comedian. I've been watching his work…

I don't know how true it is, but one of my favorite anecdotes to come out about him recently is that Aladdin was denied a Best Original Screenplay nomination because Williams ad-libbed so much of his part that it wasn't even recognizable.

I cried my eyes out while watching this the first time, then the second time I sang along while crying my eyes out. Maybe it is because I'm going through some things right now myself but Robin's death is effecting me in a way I never expected a celebrity death to effect me, I hope he is finally at peace.

me too. It hurts horribly.

I'm trying to work up the nerve to watch Jack. It's one of my favorite films but I think it would break my heart all over again.

The day before the news broke I played 'Aladdin' for some kids I was babysitting because they actually hadn't seen it before. (This is one of the key indicators that you are officially an Old I think - the Disney cartoons you loved then are ones that children now haven't actually seen yet). They loved it, and when I…

I watched Jumanji

3 days later and my heart is literally still breaking over this.

I may or may not have tearfully watched Aladdin the night the news broke. Like millions of others, I'm sure.

And the original.

killed himself in a fit of depression

Funny how nobody ever tells someone with cancer to just "snap out of it".

If it were legal, I would gladly beat that prick to death with a baseball bat. Preferably one signed by the baseball legend Fidel Castro. It'd be a fitting end to a fucking horrible excuse of a life.

I know that doesn't need to be said, but I am saying it anyway. Robin Williams had a bravery few people will ever know. He used his own torment to bring humor and joy to millions. He fought his demons long enough to be there for his family and raise his beautiful baby daughter into a wonderful young woman. He…

I was so appalled when I saw that photo on that website about his treatment that I immediately clicked away and won't go back. I don't want them getting any more clicks from me. It was one of the most offensive things I've seen on a gossip site. And that says a lot.
