Do you suppose it's funny that he has turned alchy in his advancing age?
Imagine the life of a guy that can't even walk down the street without
someone saying "Nanoo, Nanoo" to him? You can't have real friends, you can't
do normal things and you can never be yourself.
 
Those old skits are going to be hilarious compared to his upcoming
material on rehab. Hello, my name is Robin and I'm a ____ (fill in
unfunny material).

Robin was always trying to be funny. Most of the time he wasn't but he was
so up that people would laugh anyway.

Well, he isn't up most of the time now and he notices that people aren't
laughing anymore.

It isn't like he's the sort of guy who can just say screw it and go build a
sailboat or something else like that which can lend him a little self
respect.

But you know what? He could start going on club rides. He could stop
worrying that he's Robin Williams and start thinking that he's robin
williams. I'd be willing to bet that underneath it all he's a guy like you
or I. Not like most of the dung beetles on this group mind you, but like
Ilan or I - human and not afraid of it.

RW cannot carry a movie, like say, oh, Michael Caine. What
he can do is race into a scene, go incandescent, then tear
off leaving behind a smoking ruin. Great stuff.

Never expect anything postive from Ilan.

#1 -- he is a stoner mathematician. (sp?)
#2 - he doesn't ride a bike seriously. Duh. Never has. Total fan
boy.
#3 - he considers everything a Joke.

He shd play Floyd on tv talk shows, cuz this scandal is sinking deep
into the slough of tedium from the lack of principals able to carry the
show...

That is my point exactly. All that feel good eye wash
weakens his strengths. He needs to eviscerate
sentimentality.

RW is one of those actors where the badness of his bad
movies makes you re-evaluate the quality of his good ones.
Even if one likes the above movies, inevitably one's
reaction to his performance is spoiled by the knowledge
of "Patch Adams," etc. You don't even have to have seen
Patch Adams - the trailer or TV ads were bad enough.

"World According to Garp" was very good. That was
almost 25 years ago now, before his persona
crystallized into his shtick.

None of which were terribly improved by a guy that seems more gay than you.

Robin Williams got his start in San Francisco night clubs where you HAVE to
appear to be as gay as they come. Compare him and Bob Roll who came from
across the bay in Oakland.

HAHHAHHAHAA. I suppose that means that the SI unit of gayness is the
Liberace. Steven comes in at 388 milliLiberaces.

Robin Williams got his start working the streets of New York, while studying
at Juilliard with Christopher Reeve, William Hurt, and Mandy Patinkin.

From there, he went to Los Angeles.
