Not only that but they are remaking Jumanji. I mean, seriously?

That's absurd. How can they possibly? I think too many people love Robin so dearly that they won't want to watch it. I know I won't.
For my money, Terry Gilliam is a cinematic genius.
If you haven't seen Brazil, please do so at your earliest convenience.
Well
, that's just sad isn't it. The last line the doctor said. Just heartrending.
Yes. His death is still one of the most tragic things that's ever happened to me. I know that sounds selfish but I don't mean it that way. I think lots of people feel the same. He made his home in our hearts.
Oh this is so tough, it will always be very sad that he had such a struggle before he left us, poor man. And his family, knowing how much I miss him... I cannot imagine how hard it is for them.
If someone can make you laugh, then they are a friend for life. Robin had lots of friends.....
I can't say it's the most tragic thing that's happened to me, but it ranks up there. For you, me, some friends of mine - we apparently adored the guy, felt his presence and was affected by him on a very personal level, and his death was shattering in a way that celebrity deaths rarely are.
I don't know why she is saying he would have only had three years to live. From diagnosis many (most?) people live five or more years.
Maybe from his symptoms and after his autopsy, they pinpointed problems starting 2 years before he killed himself.
Was he a reformed alcoholic? I remember hearing he had a drug problem back when he did Mork and Mindy. If you've been a drug user or a bad drinker and stopped and then for whatever reason get hooked again, that can be frightening to the point of wanting to end it.
I've never posted in this thread before. I didn't realize it had been so long. Over a year now. I was going through an intense work-related depression at the time Robin Williams died and I'm still trying to recover from that. Naturally, when one is down they wish to laugh. Williams without a doubt made me laugh like no one else.
Robin Williams was such a tough loss for me. Especially because everyone said it was related to depression. One of the very things I was trying to fight against, no less. Using his movies to make me smile so I could in turn find the energy to make other people in my life smile.
"Just, you know, be like Robin Williams" is what I sometimes told myself as I clocked in some days. Make customers smile. Make employees smile. Make em laugh so I can just get through the day and go home and shut myself off from everyone.
It was a very tough loss for me, indeed. Now I'm finding out about this brain disease. I don't know if that is supposed to be better or worse than "plain ole depression," as if there is such a thing, but it remains equally tragic.

He once said that the worst thing in the world was to be around people that made him feel like he was alone. And, in the end, he was. Even though there were other people in the house when it happened, he died alone. None of them knew. How could they not know?
Five years after diagnosis, which he was just heading into the testing. Also, some people live 20 years.
Lewy Body Dimension is similar to Alzheimer's. Many people are misdiagnosed first and there is still so much unknown. To just pop out "facts" seems weird. And after the bitterness with the estate, finally settled, then a month later she's making rounds.....just seems....wrong? Convenient?
I don't know exactly.
Ok, I didn't know that. I read the article.
