I think I am ready... "Patch Adams" just came on TV and I didn't reach for the remote. My eyes didn't immediately fill up with tears. I think I am finally ready to watch a Robin Williams movie. I really loved this guy...
I can watch his movies. I don't really understand why it doesn't hurt me to do it. Maybe I'm not ready to miss him and need to be reminded of him. When I heard about his death I sobbed non-stop for 30 minutes.

Good luck!
Wow... I don't think I had seen the whole movie before past the entertaining people when he was a Med student.. I had no idea what was coming or what the themes in it were going to be. (I didn't realise this was based on a real person either)

(in hindsight) This was probably not the best one to start with... :O_O:

I couldn't even look at photos in the beginning... I understand what you're saying, but it was quite different for me.
I cried so much in those first days too... he was just, so damned amazing. I miss having him in the world, and I feel so sad to know how unhappy he must have been.

I think his death shocked me more than most. He was a part of my life for so many years- his early days in comedy, every movie he made, his TV appearances, any article written about him. What has gotten me past the grief, loss is that I treasure all the memories- the good ones. I do hope he is finally at peace and having a blast in heaven.
FlakeNoir - Patch Adams is favorite of mine, right there with Dead Poet Society.

It's like who can you think of who you would not want to die - him. I heard he'd been diagnosed with a rare disease which takes a person's mind away.

I believe that they have strange mirrors in a hair salon. I feel fine going in there then they spin me around to start the cut and I see myself.

Just a random thing I've been thinking about.

Let's say there is a community of people. Very established. And then let's say here comes an anthropologist and a missionary. Who will survive?

The one who comes in to be a part of the community, to assimilate into it? Or the one who comes in thumping the Bible, guns blazing and telling the community how they should believe, behave, exist?

History tells us MOST of the time, that the anthropologist will be accepted with open arms. The Missionary ends up in the belly of the tribe.

Just food *burp* for thought.
